escape char truncated in the MSH encoding char string???

[Rentian Huang]

Dear all,

We have 3 threads that sends HL7 msgs in between. The inbound msgs starts like MSH:;~&:HBOC:H:….

After 4 tcls, the outbound msgs look like MSH|^~&|HBOC|H|….., notice that the escape char “” is missing.

We have checked all 4 tcls and they all look very straight forward, nothing is really abnormal, plus, they work on all other threads without any problem..

Can anyone give us a hint?

Good day!

One of your  Tcl procs is changing the separator characters.  When it does this, it needs to double the backslash like “\”

Four Tcl procs for one message – that’s a lot   😕

Charlie,

You are absolutely right! It was a tcl in our Ib data TPS that removes the . We have fixed the problem, thanks a lot!

Good day,
