Fix Protocol Error : Field [5232] was not found in message

Question

I am using Quickfix and stunnel to connect to server with RSA private key.

When I am sending Market Data Request(MsgType=V), I am getting the following error

8=FIX.4.49=14735=Y34=55349=ABCD52=20130513-03:23:23.24356=ABCDEFGHI58=Field [5232] was not found in message.262=85ee75f8-ab5d-4aff-b87d-108b74d3281=010=53

i searched and found from this link that 5232 is Currency field

So I passed Currency value to 5232 as below

Message message = new Message();
................
message.setField(5232, new quickfix.field.Currency("EUR"));
................
Session.sendToTarget(message, sessId);

But when i checked the code of outgoing message, i found that the field 5232 is automatically converted to '15=EUR', and its again giving error 'Field [5232] was not found in message'

Can anyone point out what I am missing here ?

Thanks to all who replied this thread. I will explain the steps I followed to solve the issue

initiator.cfg

DataDictionary=/var/www/FIX44_edited.xml

<message name="MarketDataRequest" msgtype="V" msgcat="app">
    <field name="MDReqID" required="Y"/>
    <field name="SubscriptionRequestType" required="Y"/>
    <field name="MarketDepth" required="Y"/>
    <field name="MDUpdateType" required="N"/>
    <field name="AggregatedBook" required="N"/>
    <field name="OpenCloseSettlFlag" required="N"/>

      <group name="NoUnderlyings" required="N">
        <component name="UnderlyingInstrument" required="N"/>
      </group>
      <group name="NoLegs" required="N">
        <component name="InstrumentLeg" required="N"/>
      </group>
    </group>
    <group name="NoTradingSessions" required="N">
      <field name="TradingSessionID" required="N"/>
      <field name="TradingSessionSubID" required="N"/>
    </group>
    <field name="ApplQueueAction" required="N"/>
    <field name="ApplQueueMax" required="N"/>
    <field name="CurrencyNew" required="Y"/>
  </message>

and

<field number="5232" name="CurrencyNew" type="STRING"/>

define the field 5232 with a unique name (i gave "CurrencyNew"), and use the field inside the message in which you need to use the custom variable 5232.

Initiator.java

Message message = new Message();
quickfix.fix44.MarketDataRequest.NoRelatedSym group = new quickfix.fix44.MarketDataRequest.NoRelatedSym();
StringField currency= new StringField(5232, "EUR");
group.setField(currency);
message.addGroup(group);

Hope this helps anyone who is stuck in generating data dictionary :)
