Re: Position of ApplVerID (1128) ?

My recommendation to the GTC FIX 5.0 Usage Subcommittee would be to go with the order given in FIXT Header Mapping table Page 31 of 66, ie ApplVerID [1128] be the 6th field after SenderCompID [49] and TargetCompID [56]. The reason I prefer this appraoch is because SenderCompID [49] and TargetCompID [56] will be present in every message.
