Kill a Message in a IF Statement

[Galen Weinberg]

Is there any way to kill a message if our IF statement in our translation is true or false, depending on what you are testing for. I’m trying to see if a PID 2 segment is there, then I want that message if not I want to kill it. I’m have trouble making this work, any suggestions.

Galen,

It is more effecient to use Tcl code to kill the messsage before it gets to translation.  If you don’t want to mess with Tcl code, add a statement like

IF PID-2 eq @null then SUPPRESS

to your translate.
