Thank you for your detailed response.
My first idea was to use VB6 that I have used in the past but it is no longer supported.

Re: Is there generic method to format contract for reqContractDetails
Glad that this works for you.
There is one caveat about requesting contracts by ConId. It may not apply to your use case but you should be aware (and you may already be).
