Jim, well, let’s talk about that. I am following the recomendation of our installer on this. The object being that if a string in the IN1 matches GROUP HEALTH, the xlate will send the numeric code 2000 out. I plan on adding other IF statements for REGENCE, COMMUNITY HEALTH, etc. My alternative is to build a huge table with all these literal entries. Sending the data to a temp. variable seemed like the way to go, but I am open to suggestions.
