One received message two messages sent

[Robert Berrios]

I have a charge interface where “CH” and “CR” are sent in the same message. The receiver wants to receive two separate messages. One message for the “CH”s and another message for the “CR”s. Using xlate, I am able to send the first message which are for the “CH”s. I then use the SEND statement to send the second message. In order to re-populate the FT1 segment I use @null to clear the segment via an iteration. Afterwards, I iterate on the FT1 segment again selecting only the “CR”s. However, the end result looks like this:

FT1

FT1

FT1|1|……|CR|…………..

No matter what I do I cannot get rid of the first two FT1s.

Any insights will be greatly appreciated.

Are you using your own ITERATE counter for the outbound references for the CR segments? That is a counter % something that you created and you maintain?

Something like %s99 or %g99?

If this is not clear feel free to email me.

Thank you for responding.

However, I found out what my issue was.

The FT1 segment is configured as required in the variant.

Thus, in spite of the fact, I was clearing out each field out with @null, it was still reflecting:

FT1

FT1

Once, one makes FT1 optional, the issue is resolved.
