Changing Repeating Fields to Sub-Fields

Hello.

I am trying to convert ~ to ^ due to a system limitation downstream. I may be going about this incorrectly but this isn’t working as I expected.

I am taking each itertation of the OBR28 field and trying to put them into the OBR(0).#28(0).[X] sub-field location. This isn’t working using a variable to hold the count and number of field iterations. If I manually type the sub-field such as OBR(0).#28(0).[1], OBR(0).#28(0).[2], etc It appears to work.

In this instance there are 4 iterations of OBR28, the I am trying to put into OBR28(0).[ 0-3 ] and I know my variable is counting correctly too based on my testing tool echo:

0 – Testing varibale values

1 – Testing varibale values

2 – Testing varibale values

3 – Testing varibale values

MESSAGE 1

0(0).MSH(0).#1(0)  :  >|< 0(0).MSH(0).#2(0)  :  >^~&< Any thoughts on why this won’t copy from a field iteration to sub-field? I’ve attached a screenshot of this portion of the XLATE. Thank you, Jon
