      Hi everyone! I know how to do basic functions in Cloverleaf but I sometimes struggle with iterations. This one “should be” really simple but I can’t get it to work. All I’m trying to do it null OBR|21 in a ORU message. The OBR itself is not repeating but the group is, and I’ve iterated on that group. The end result is basically a copy @null –> 1(%g1).1(%g2).0(0).OBR(0).#21(0). Am I missing something? I’m not sure the best way to share what I have in my xlate. Any advice is appreciated!  Thanks -Jen Fields

              Thanks again for your help, Jim!

              I realized that I was using an outbound SMAT message rather than the inbound, so that skewed my testing results to some degree. Jim also noticed that the data I was trying to remove was in multiple fields so he suggested that I use a pathcopy instead of a copy to null the entire field and subfields. I was not aware that you could use a pathcopy for a field, per se. I thought you could only use pathcopy to manipulate an entire segment. I learned something new. Actually, a few things 🙂
