Temporary Vars in a Contains comparison

[Jon Blanchard]

CL 6.1.2 on AIX OS

Xlating HL7 2.5.1 to HL7 2.3

In an Xlate, if I set two temporary vars as follows:

COPY Source 0(0).MSH(0).#9(0).[1] to Destination @triggerEvent

COPY Source =A18A34A35A36A39 to Destination @level1

then create an IF action to test if @level1 contains the value in @triggerEvent, using the condition

Code:

@level1  ct  @triggerEvent

the test fails.  Can someone help me understand why?

Thanks in advance.

Try flipping the 2 in the IF.

Now having put my good glasses on, Have you verified the contents of both Temp Variables?

Make sure your triggerEvent in the IF does not have any non displayable characters after it (or for that matter that is really says triggerEvent and not triggerEventA.

Note the fetch error is on something called triggerEventA

Oh I also noted the variable you set is triggerEvent and the line about the contains failing shows TriggerEvent with the leading t in caps.
