Xlate Sanity Check.

[Anonymous]

I have an inbound XCN field that has this in the inbound record.

“1080^^^^^^^^^^^^~3019^^^^^^^^^^^^~1071^^^^^^^^^^^^”

I need to pass this to a tcl procedure so I have this in the xlate

0(0).TXA.#23  not 0(0).TXA.#23(0).

I would expect the entire field in the tcl proc. But I only get this when I do an echo out

“echo xlateIn = $xlateInVals “

xlatin = 1080 {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {}

It cuts off after the firs field.  I’m I just missing something, or just wrong ?

Should not the entire field pass to the tcl proc ?

I was up to late last night so please forgive me this one.  

I got it working.

I did take a different track.

But it is all good.  😳

what was the different track? Also just wondering is it something you had to fix in the Variant?

When you specify a field such as TXA.#23 the engine defaults the repetition value to 0 rather than returning all the repetitions, so TXA.#23 is interpreted as TXA.#23(0). You must iterate over them to get all the values.
