Deny Message

The Deny message allows you to refuse to accept a request to cancel an order. When this message is sent in response to a Cancel Message, the order in question is reported to the appropriate Clearing House. If a Confirm Message is sent after a Deny message for the same order, the Confirm message overrides the Deny message.
