Adding leading zero’s and goes away when it goes outbound

[Tom Gilbert]

I wrote a tcl proc to add leading zero’s to make it a total of 9 characters for MRN. This is in PID.3. This adds it ok but as soon as it reaches outbound the zero’s are stripped. How can I get it to hold. I did make PID.3 a string.

Is this Tcl inside an Xlate? Does it show OK in the tester?

If not where do you have your proc placed (IB Tps, pre-route, post-route, OB Tps)?

Make sure there are no other procs downstream from where you placed your proc which could modify your changes.

I got it to work.  was odd…  I had the following:

echo set xlateOutVals $newmrn

I took the echo off and all was ok… odd…

Thanks,

Tom

So did you remove the echo and leave the set or did you remove the entire line?
