Using this proc (lal_msg.tcl) will get or replace you the HL7 field/subfield value you need. This way we don’t need to split a message every time and write code to look up or replace a HL7 field/subfield value in a message.

  I am relatively new to both Cloverleaf and TCL so please bare with me 🙂
  
  How would I go about modifying this script to work with an XML file?
  
  or is there a better way to approach this with regards to translating an XML file into HL7 2.x?
  
  Thanks,

  Hi Larry,
  
  These two procs only works for HL7 messages. I don’t think this will help you translating a XML file into HL7.
  
  I haven’t had to write code to translate XML into HL7. I think you will have to create a variant for the XML messages. Check on Clovertech and you might find some information about it.
  
  Thanks.

  Larry,
  
  XML messages don’t have a variant like HL7. You need to use the XML Configuration tool to compile a DTD or Schema that describes the XML message. After your schema is compiled, you can configure a translate to use it for message input. Since the message structures can be very different between XML and HL7, you may have lots of work to do in the translate. We have done translations for XML to a couple other message types (VRL & X12) but not to HL7, although it shouldn’t be any different.
