interactive brokers api: Generic Tick Tags

Hello
Does anyone know where the missing integer id values from the list described in section Contents->Home->Reference Tables->Generic Tick Types of
http://www.interactivebrokers.com/php/apiUsersGuide/apiguide.htm
can be found?


For example, I do not see tag number 105 described at that section.

Besides my first question, does anyone know any other better place to post this kind of question related to Trader Workstation API from Interactive Brokers rather than using either this section in the forum or even this forum in general?

Please, do not mention the interactive brokers forum
http://www.interactivebrokers.com/smf/
because for the time being I have no access to that forum.

Thanks

If you are getting this value, why don't you ask IB tech support? It may be something that is not yet officially supported.

I think there is a Yahoo group for TWS API. You could ask there.

Why would you ever want to pass 105 to reqMktData() if the value is not one of the valid ones according to the table ? Give it a try. I suspect an error code will be the result. You can pass an empty string as the genericTicklist parameter if you just want normal prices (bid, offer, last etc.)

Thanks, I posted three times at this yahoo group a week ago and did not get any answer yet for any of the questions.

I also opened tickets last Friday at an interactive broker account and did not get any reply yet either.
