      Can someone give me the tcl statement I can use within an xlate to trim a middle name to leave just the first initial?

      Thanks!

            Tom,

            Assuming you are doing this in an Xlate, then the tcl fragment you can place on the COPY statement is:

               set xlateOutVals

              0]]

              Hope this helps.

              Thanks,
