The HL7 Fill Empty Fields filter is used to populate empty fields in an HL7 message with the specified string or Rhapsody variable.
When processing messages, Rhapsody will normally strip empty fields from a message when they are not required by HL7. The HL7 Fill Empty Fields filter is used to populate such fields with a dummy value before the message is processed. Once processing is complete, the Search and Replace filter can be used to replace the dummy value with <nothing> to restore affected fields to their original, empty state.
If using this filter, the .s3d definition file must be changed so that none of the fields are of the number type, otherwise multiple errors will result.
