changing an A40 message type to A18

The error message isn’t occurring in Tcl, it’s happening when the message is routed.

Make sure you have ADT_A18 as a trxid in your routing table.

Look in the inbound tab of the inbound thread and check the trxid determination format.  You may have a tcl proc there that needs to be modified to send an ADT_A18.  

How are you determining the routing for messages?

Your error message is telling you that CL does not know how to route the message. From the error it also appears that your TrxID determination is fine. The routing table that Rob referrs to is on the Route Messages tab of the inbound thread.

The Route Name is usually configured as the message type or whatever is returned by the process selected for TrxID Determination. In this particular message it is “ADT_A18”. Note that the notation used in the Route Name field is Regular Expression format rather than the more familiar Glob style. If you are using wildcarding you must check the “wildcard route” box.

Glob style is more familiar to people as the way you specify wildcards when getting a directory listing. To specify all files in a directory that begin with ADT you would use “ADT*”. This does not work here.

The Regular Expression format, which can be more complex, would be “ADT.*” which means everything beginning with ADT optionally followed by none or more characters. You can get lots of information by Googling for Regular Expression or regexp or regex.

Make sure you have a route listed under the Route Messages tab that would include ADT_A18.

Here are a couple links for info on using Regular Expressions:

John,

Can you tell us exactly what the route names are on the Route Messages tab? A screen shot could also be helpful. This may turn out just to be a typo.

I have created an xlate to bulk copy an A08 as is.

I created a second to convert an A40 to an A18.

An xlate with BULKCOPY “as-is” is very expensive in terms of processing.  If you don’t need to modify the message, use a raw route.

It sounds like you already converted the A40 to an A18 with Tcl?  If you have other modifications to the message in a translation that’s fine, use it, otherwise use a raw route.

As Chris said please list your transaction IDs under the Route Messages tab.  you should have at least two:  ADT_A08 and ADT_A18.

If no translation at all is required you can use a raw static route and forget about the transaction IDs.

In the Route Messages tab, click on “New id”.

You will see an edit box in the upper right corner. Change “New id” to say “ADT.*” (without the quotes of course).

Check the box that says “wildcard route”.

The string that is returned by the TrxID proc, in your case, is “ADT_A18”. The text that currently says “New id” has to be a Regular Expression that will encompass the “ADT_A18”, for example, “ADT.*”
