Sun,

First of all PID-2 (00105) is not normally a repeating field.

So the first thing I would do is to modify the outbound variant to make it a repeating field.

Then use the address path within a COPY Xlate Action to specify the occurance of the field (outbound) – something like this (the elipses are simply to indicate palceholding of address path notation):

COPY

…PID…00105(0)   –> …PID…00105(0)   (copying PID-2 (00105) to PID-2 repetition 1)

COPY

…PID…00106(0)  –> …PID…00105(1) (Copying PID-3 (00105) to PID-2 repetition 2).
