& in component

OBR 15.1 contains the specimen code and description, example ANKLE&ANKLE

that is what is being sent to me.  I’m using Bulkcopy at the beginning so the whole text is already in my output field.  I need to change it to only say ANKLE.  If I move ANKLE into the field it still shows ANKLE&ANKLE.  If I move @null into that field then &ANKLE shows up.  How do I get rid of the text after the &?  It acts  like a list…I’ve tried those commands also.

Blank out the destination field and only copy OBR:15.1.0  Generally the & is the next level of addressing.  If you turn up the detail when you view the message in either the testing tool ot smat, you can verify which address is the correct one to use in your copy statement.

ANKLE&ANKLE

Might be OBR:15.0.0 for the first one and OBR:15.0.1 for the second one.

Thank you!  You were right.  I just had to add the extra detail.  I am so grateful!  Now on to the next part…tria
