msgcreate and the recovery db

[Mike Strout]

We have charges messages coming from our lab system containing multiple FT1 and PR1 segments, but our target system can only handle one FT1 per message.

My solution a year ago was to throw the MSH, PID, and PV1 segments into a “header” variable and then use foreach to iterate through each FT1 segment. I then join the header variable and the FT1 into a new message and then use “msgcreate -recover” to make a brand new message.

The problem is that when I test this tcl proc using the route testing tool, the engine panics and crashes, but when I run this script inside a process, it performs fine. Can someone help me understand what is happening?

Usually it’s better to use a msgcopy of the original message instead of a msgcreate. This ensures that all of the metadata fields have the right values.
