These fields would only be numeric in disaster situations like a terrorist incident or a really huge accident like a bus or plane crash.
Which method would be more efficient? Keep in mind that they want this installed and running ALL the time, not just when we have an incident
1. Calling a pre proc on the inbound side and splitting the message to get to the sub field, checking it to see if it’s numeric, changing it to blank and then rebuilding the new message….or
2. Calling from within the Xlate as suggested but having to do it multiple times, possibly 9, not to mention changing every translate.
