CL 6.2.1 VRL subfield separator issue

Cloverleaf 6.2.1.

VRL set up with globals setting subfield separator as =.

VRL is a part of HRL.

When attempting to reference a subfield in an Xlate, a panic is asserted.

Example – field named field_1 in VRL. Data has ‘KEY=1234’.

In Xlate using Source specification of field_1.[0] to get ‘KEY’ subfield from above causes panic assertion in Xlate.

Does subfield notation not work with VRLs in 6.2.1 or am I missing something (I think this used to work in 6.0).

We also tried defining the ‘SF Sep’ in the VRL field definition for field_1 – same result.

Thanks,
