I have an HL7 message that contains NTE segment with line break inside.

when I try to transform it (with DTL) it stops reading the message after the line break inside the NTE because it treat that as "End of Message".

Is there a way to solve this in the DTL or I need to run a pre process on the HL7 message that identify the line break inside the NTE segments and replace it with an escape char?

Because Intersystems is already trying to parse the message and field as it determines which DocType the message falls under, I would say that there needs to be a Preprocess involved to remove the extra line break. Whether that needs to be a custom Inbound HL7 Business, or some other type of scripting that is up to you.
