      I was trying to add 2 fields to the end of the 2.2 FT1 segment to accommodate the McKesson requirement for their charge message.

          Bonnie,

          There should be no problem adding fields to a segment (they would probably be User-defined fields).

          Did you remember to reconfigure your Xlate(s)?

            I never got that far… here is what I did.

            1. Selected the 2.2 variant

            2. Built the xlate

            3. Found that McKesson wanted their charge code in FT1:25 instead of FT1:7 (where everyone else has it).

            4. Tried to add 2 user defined fields to the variant.  Got an error saying 24>23.  Tried using existing fields got the same error.

            5. Got frustrated and used variant 2.3.1 that has 25 fields in the FT1 and has a DFT^P03.  Recompiled the xlate.  Worked fine

            6. Got Jim’s reply.  Tried again using the 2.2 so I could send screen prints and now I can add those 2 fields.

            Lessons learned:

            1. Post to CloverTech first so I can look stupid but save myself a lot of time.  

            2. I will not try to add fields once the xlate has been defined?  I still think it is goofy .

              Just wanted to add a note that this may have have been a java issue because when I opened the detail it was all javascripting errors.  Did not want anyone to think that you could not add fields once you were working in xlate
