I’m using Qvdx 3.8.1P and am iterating over a field %f1. When I write to the destination field I want it to write to one less than the source field (%f1 – 1). How do I do this in the Xlate? I’ve tried to use a math function but the math function doesn’t allow me to use %f1 as a variable. Even if I could it doesn’t look like it lets me use 0(0).PR1(%s2).01316(@modDest).[0] in the destination. I’ve tried hard coding @modDest to a 2 and it still throws it in the first repetition of the field. There has to be a simple answer but I haven’t run into this before.

Thanks,

Daniel

  Nevermind. I figured it out. I had to use $%f1 to reference the variables in the Xlate.

  Hi Daniel,
  
  Could you send me some more details, please? I am trying to do a similar thing. It would solve my problem if I could use a variable in place of %s1 for destination in:
  
  1(%g1).0(0).OBX(%s1) -> 0(0).OBX(%s1)
  
  I still want the source values to use %g1 and %s1, but want to be able to use some variable (global) in place of %s1 on the destination in the above translation [eg. 0(0).OBX($myVar)].
  
  Thanks for your help,

  What I did is just make up a new variable called %s2 and used that instead of the %s1.
  
  So lets say you wanted to make your outbound segment to be one less than your inbound segment iteration.
