X12 Mult ST in message – setting ST Control ID

[Jim Kosloskey]

Cloverleaf(R) 5.6.

I have a situation where I need to create multiple ST loops from an X12 inbound message with one ST Loop that exceeds a limit of the number of CLM segments for a receiving systgem.

i have everything functioning properly but I have run into an issue where the Xlate does not allow me to change the ST-2 Field (Control ID) for each new ST. It defaults to 0001.

I should be able to set this to anything I want as long as it is unique within a Functional Group (GS/GE).

I am able to change the SE-2 Control ID but not the ST-2.

Any ideas?

Nevermind.

I looked and looked at this and the obvious escaped me.

In order to do this I needed a Group repition Counter of my own making. I used %g99 BUT in my COPY to ST-2 I used %s99.

Damn keyboard (it is best to blame the technology not the operator)  😳
