Example assumptions

The following assumptions are made regarding the FIX checksum generation example:

Example assumptions when the fxchksm3_compute map is run:

  • The example map returns the checksum of a FIX input file, fix_40.inp, that is in the <install_dir>/packs/financial_payments_vn.n.n.n/fix/utilities/data directory.
    Note: On the z/OS operating system, use fix_40_MVS.inp located in the same directory.
  • The example map accepts any FIX message as input, and uses a general-purpose type tree called, fix_checksum.mtt, that is in the <install_dir>/packs/financial_payments_vn.n.n.n/fix/utilities/trees directory.
  • The example map also returns the computed message body length of a FIX message.
