      Hi All,

      I have an issue with the generic ‘create_ack’ tcl.

      One of our systems recently changed. They added a mid-point product between us and the sending system. Nothing on my side changed except the port I am listening on. They are complaining that the ACK I send this mid-point system doesn’t have the & in the encoding characters.

      In the generic create_ack proc it has

      set sepchar “^~\&”

      THEN LATER

      set sepchar [lindex $mshflds 1]

      My question is…why isn’t the & being included in the ACK? They are sending  the & in the inbound mesage.

      It’s the same ACK program that has been used for all inbound systems.

      Thanks,

      Tim

          Tim:

          The only “generic”. supported HL7 ACK proc is hl7_Rawack.  Any reason you don’t use that?

          In the proc, echo out sepchar and see what you get.  Without more there is no way to tell

            Charlie,

            Don’t know. It’s the one that has always been used and there were no complaints from vendors until now.

            I did what you suggested and the proc I had been using didn’t echo the &.

            I also tried the hl7Raw_ack and it did. I guess I’ll change to that one.

            Thanks,

            Tim
