Hi all,

As per the 4.2 spec :-

"Conditionally required for response to an electronic Cancel
or Cancel/Replace request (ExecType=PendingCancel,
Replaced, or Canceled). ClOrdID of the previous order
(NOT the initial order of the day) when canceling or
replacing an order."

So we must expect blank values for unsolicited messages. Generally, the original client order ID is required in the buy-side request messages only (Cancel and cancel/replace). but in the response its not mandatory as the same response can be triggered for various other reasons as well. The Trader / order submitter is supposed to keep track of the client order ID chain, as its generated by the the buy-side. The only identifier from the sell side is "Order ID" which is optional in buy -side requests and generally always seen in responses.

Rgds,
Thaya.
