      We are receiving a custom message from an outside vendor. I have created a variant that includes the custom segments, and have built an xlate to modify the message in the manner that we need.

      However, when I try to compile/test the message, I get the following error:

          Try making your segment ID be 3 characters.

            It would seem that you are on to something, as the testing tool is not copying the other Z segments.

            The foreign system is creating these segments, so is it possible for CL 5.5 to interpret segment names that are longer than 3 characters?

              I believe your foreign system folks need to go back to HL/7 school   😯  – segment IDs are 3 characters.

              It is possible to define larger in the Variant tool but the Xlate won’t recognize them per the standard.

              Time for a little wall-to-wall counseling with the sending system I think  ðŸ˜€

                Thanks for the replies, gentlemen. Time to hammer the sending system into compliance.  ðŸ˜ˆ

                  John, if you can’t get the sending system to comply, you could use a tclproc to modify the segment names before the message is passed to the xlate and variant.
