Fields in FIX 4.2

Body fields in the order the FIX 4.2 definition lists them. A repeating group starts with its counter field (NoXxx), followed by the fields of each entry, indented. A field inside an optional component or group is required only when that component or group is present.

Tag	Field	Required
112	TestReqID	Required

Every message also carries the FIX 4.2 standard header (BeginString, BodyLength, MsgType, SenderCompID, TargetCompID, MsgSeqNum, SendingTime and others) and ends with CheckSum (10).
