      Hello everyone,

      CL3.8.1P

      HP-UX 11.x

      I am using the concat option within my xlate to copy a few fields into one  and when I echo $xlateInVals it looks like the following:

      {L A C} {NDS Corp} {30 Campion Rd} {} Utica NY 134920030

      When I look at the outbound message the field looks like:

      L A CNDS Corp30 Campion RdUticaNY134920030

      I need to seperate each element in the list with a ^ so that is look like:

      L A C^NDS Corp^30 Campion Rd^Utica^NY^134920030

      I tried using the regsub command with no luck, any help would be greatly appreciated!

      Thanks in advance!

      Mike

          If you put ^ as the Seperator in the Xlate concat command, that should do it.

              Mike,

              On the CONCAT Action there is a place to specify a separator you might want to use.

              Only problem might be if the HL/7 separator in the MSH changes you need to remember to change this.

              Why not simply COPY each element to the appropriate component of the receiving field and let the Xlate automatically insert the defined component separator. That way if the separator definition changes in the MSH you are covered dynamically. This would mean replacing the CONCAT with a number of COPYs.

                Hello Jim,

                I would have used the copy command for each but the destination field is set up as data type ST.

                Thanks,

                Mike

                  Hello Jim,

                  You are correct, even though the receiving field is a data type ST I was still able to copy each element to a component of the receiving field and the Xlate automatically inserted the defined component separator.  Thanks for the info!!
