Meaning of RWFTYPE values in RWFFld responses

When we use RWFFld dictionary request to get fields types, we get list of elements like below.
How to figure out the meaning of the RWFTYPE in the response (8 is REAL, 10 is TIME, 17 is STRING...).

Is there a mean to deduce this mapping solely with websockets requests data ?

{

"Elements":{

"FID":{

"Data":25,

"Type":"Int"

},

"LENGTH":17,

"NAME":"ASK",

"RIPPLETO":{

"Data":26,

"Type":"Int"

},

"RWFLEN":9,

"RWFTYPE":8,

"TYPE":{

"Data":4,

"Type":"Int"

}

}

},

Hello @mohamed.2.dahmani,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to deduce this information solely using websockets request. The fields enumerations are described in the Java and C++ RT-SDK's. You can see enum the values in this file.

Also, note that the data dictionary that you are downloading from server is also available as a file in the GitHub - which can provide a little better context.
