For the integer order messages, the data types are being changed from 32-bit integers to 64-bit integers. This will be in DTC version 7. 64-bit market data messages will also later be added. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-08-20 09:40:04

The field quantity should also be an int. It represent an exact quantity that would be better represented as an int rather than an imprecise double.

The Position related messages should also have int64 variants. Actually, absolutely all messages that use a double to represent a price or a quantity should have a int64 variant.

This is going to be changed in the next release.

Ok. For now I'm not going to use int messages (since apparently you internally convert them to doubles in SC anyway). I will use them only when DTC will be consistent regarding int messages (i.e. all messages that use floats for non-real numbers).

OK this is fine. We still have not yet implemented full 64-bit integer support for market data and trading.
