Yes. FINRA is now prescribing the format of the Routed Order ID to eliminate, to the extent possible, the risk of translation issues when passing Routed Order Ids between firms. The allowable format for the Routed Order ID and Sent to Routed Order ID fields is any alphanumeric character not containing a delimiter (which includes commas, semicolons, pipes and tabs) or spaces, blanks or leading zeroes. Under this definition a dash or hyphen would be allowable.
