multiple xlateInVals/xlateOutVals

[Nora Katz]

I have an Xlate in which I have several fields that I need to add the letter “N” at the beginning.  I’ve modified the fields, but I don’t see the new values when I run the testing tool.  What am I doing wrong?

fields that I want to modify:

1(0).0(0).PV1.00137.[0]

1(0).0(0).PV1.00138.[0]

1(0).2(0).0(0).OBR.00226(0).[0]

1(0).2(0).0(0).OBR.00260(0).[0]

1(0).2(0).0(0).OBR.00260(1).[0]

1(0).2(0).0(0).OBR.00260(2).[0]

code fragment that I am using:

foreach val $xlateInVals {

if {![cequal $val “”]} {

 echo xlateInVals $xlateInVals

 set add_N [cconcat N $val]

 echo add_N $add_N

 set xlateOutVals [lappend OutVals $add_N]

 echo xlateOutVals $xlateOutVals

}

if { [cequal $val “”]} {

 set xlateOutVals [lappend OutVals $val]

 set xlateOutVals $xlateOutVals

 echo xlateOutVals $xlateOutVals

}

}

I took your code and set it up in a test xlate.  It seemed to work fine for me.  How did you test yours?  I did notice that when I ran it through my tester, if I ran it through using the xlate tester, it worked fine.  If I ran it through my route tester, then I had to bounce the process before it worked correctly.

Hope this helps…

I used the xlate tester.  My echo statements looks like I am getting the right information, but when I look at the messages I sent thru, I don’t see the new data replacing the fields I need to change.  PV1.7.1 should be N67890 instead of 67890, PV1.8.1 should be N67890 instead of 67890 and OBR.16.1 should be N16626 and not 16626.

Dummy me.  I forgot that I had a pathcopy further down the xlate that conflicted with my code.  Thanks for the confirmation that my code was okay.
