Please help me with the field order for ..dev/api/docs/Level1FundamentalMessage.cfm
Here's the fundamental message for TSLA received today:

"F,TSLA,5,775.0,13022000,1794.9900,211.0000,1794.9900,350.5100,0.0000,,,,,,,,,,2.13,,,12,,TESLA INC.,,38.,1.42,,12103.0,10667.0,06/30/2020,11634.0,186362,336211, , ,,0,14,4,3711,80.92,1,21,07/13/2020,08/23/2019,07/13/2020,03/18/2020,418.33,,,,,336211,,"

Assuming F is field number 0, the data correspond well to the Level1FundamentalMessage field order up to index 9. However, the next value available is at index 19, which is "2.13. The table, however, indicates "Root Option symbol (there may be more than one)" for index 19.

The Company Name, TESLA INC. appears at index 24, but the table suggests that Company Name should be at index 18.

I've attached a tab-delimited txt document that aligns the data in this message with the descriptions for Level1FundamentalMessage.cfm. What's going on here?

I can reconcile many of the fields to indexes where the data are appearing (like Company Name), but there was a mistake in the previously-attached file due to a few merged cells from the spreadsheet, but this doesn't affect the discussion. If you look, import this attached one into Excel.

While I don't know what the table isn't update, the order of the fields from the S,REQUEST FUNDAMENTAL FIELDNAMES request appears as follows and reconciles with the fundamental data received.

I'm going to quit! I had set the protocol to 6.1 only for the history socket. The level 1 socket defaults to 4.9, so there's the difference. The field order above is 4.9. The doc is updated to 6.1.

Roberts,

I'm sorry I didn't read this message before I responded to your other one. But yes, the protocol command explains the difference. Each socket, and each connection if you have multiple connections going, is unique. The S,SET PROTOCOL command must be set each time you connect. It won't be shared across different ports, or multiple connections to the same port.

Let me know if you have any other questions about this!
