I would be most grateful if anyone is willing to share a tcl proc that will null a specified subfield. My need is to null PV1-3.9.

In my case, I would add this proc to the TPS Inbound Data parameters on the Inbound data tab.

Thank you in advance.

  Why not simply use translate?

  have you checked your root tclprocs directory? I think Cloverleaf comes with some generic tps and xlt procs (e.g. tpsForceHl7Field, xltStringToLower) that might help.

  Here is one we use to put null in PID-3.3.

  Thank you. I looked in the root tclprocs directory and there are only 42 procs; neither of your example is there. <puzzled>

  Putting it on a translate would be way more work since I’d have to have a separate xlate for HL7 A17, A08 and A45 messages because the message structure is different for each.
  
  Having the pre-proc will null out the subfield for each instance of the segment in a message without me having to create separate xlates.
  
  Thanks for the collaboration.
