Query on blank update received for LCOF6

MayurC

Our client is a RTMDS consumer for RT data and have the following question.

We are seeing for some instruments we receive blank updates in between actual updates something like this - ```

            FieldEntry fid="3855"name="QUOTIM_MS" dataType="UInt" value="(blankdata)"

```

We observed that when this blank update was received, at the same time(decided based on the time received in this update's previous and next update) there was a non-blank update received in another data source we have for the same data. Can you please confirm if this is expected and why the updates are blank? And how should we handle these updates?

Hello @MayurC

The values can be cleared by the system in response to events such as closing run etc. To determine the exact reason of why a particular value is black - I would suggest speaking with a content expert by raising a ticket at LSEG MyAccount.
