I have been asked by the receiving system to make several changes to the ADT messages that I will send out to them. I am not sure how to approach this. I am not a TCL writer. I have not written a TCL script before. I am wondering if there is another way that I could perform these changes without having to write a TCL script or if a TCL script is required, does anyone have one already out there?

The following changes need to be made:

PID, 3 eliminate all but 3.1 portion (including sub-component separators)

PID,17 eliminate all but 17.1 portion

PID,18 eliminate all but 18.1 portion

PV1,18 eliminate all but 18.1 portion

SSN should not include the -‘s (dashes).

Can anyone help? Does anyone have a TCL script, if necessary?

  Ariba,
  
  You should only need Tcl for the last issue (assuming you are using an Xlate). Everything else should be accomplishable within your Xlate.
  
  I am certain many folks have various Xlate Tcl scripts to remove the dashes from the SSN.

  You can remove the dashes in an xlate COPY with minimal tcl code in the pre Input/Output panel:
  
  regsub -all {-} [lindex $xlateInVals 0] {} xlateOutVals
  
  It’s still tcl, but at least it is not an entire proc.
