I’m trying to test if a field equals “RCC ” in my Xlate. That’s RCC followed by three spaces. However, it doesn’t seem to be matching. Is there a way I can match this field without TRIMing the spaces before the IF statement?

Thanks,
Creator

  Troy,
  
  Try COPYng the literal to a temp variable, then do the IF against the temp variable instead of the literal directly.
  
  Let us know if that works.

  Confirmed the matching worked using:
  
  COPY
  
  ={RCC } -> @LocationOncology
  
  IF
  
  0(0).PV1.00132.[0] ne =M && 0(0).PV1.00133.[0] ne =@LocationOncology
  
  So, if you want to match something with spaces in an IF, you must copy the value to a variable first.
