A real message using tag 86
No decoded example
No decoded example is shown because no message in this dictionary references this field — there is no valid message that could carry it. Rather than invent one, we say so.
Wire format
Free-form text. Any byte except the SOH separator is legal, so values are not trimmed or case-folded on the wire. @boarteam/fix keeps the value as a string; format rules are checked by validate(), which reports validate/invalid-value rather than throwing.
Read tag 86 in TypeScript
import { createFixEngine } from "@boarteam/fix";import { dictionary } from "@boarteam/fix-dict-fix42";const fix = createFixEngine(dictionary);const { message, issues } = fix.parse(raw);const field = message.fields[86];field?.name; // "DlvyInst"field?.raw; // the verbatim wire stringfield?.value; // coerced to a stringOther String fields
Decode this in your own code
The same engine that produced the decoded example above is an Apache-2.0 npm package with zero runtime dependencies. It runs in Node and in the browser, and parse() returns problems as data instead of throwing.
