I have another homemade order placement app that very productively uses the TWS API orderRef field. Any text can go in that field. I can't find anyway to use it in my ACSIL trading scripts.

As far as I can tell, s_SCNewOrder::TextTag does not get sent as orderRef.

Can Order.orderRef be considered for ACSIL support in the future please? Pass TextTag (or a new member) through to orderRef

In the next release we will set, the text tag into the order reference field with new orders to TWS. But we need to be told, this does not cause any problems. The version will be 2950.
