Ariba,

Well you could use the essence of the provided script (that is the regsub portion) However, all of the xltp type references (xlateOutVals for example) are not effective in a Tps type Tcl proc.

But yes place it in the Outbound Tps (I think pre-write).

Now please excuse me for getting on a soap box…

It is shameful that Cerner or any vendor which claims to be HL/7 compliant does not support use of the HL/7 specified escaping technique.

Personally I would try to shame the vendor into modifying their system to be compliant.

Of course that does not always work and so, luckily, we can make adaptations in Cloverleaf(R) to make up for the vendor’s shortcoming (I would remind them of those shortcomings every chance I get).

It is amazing to me how many vendors do not even know about this escaping technique much less support it.

I am off the soapbox now…
