Tilde(~) is not working while replacing

#InterSystems IRIS for Health

Tilde(~) is not working while replacing or writing it in hardcoded. Rest every other character is working fine. Has anyone had the same issue earlier? It is not coming in HL7 generating through this code.

 

<assign property='target.{FT1grp(i).FT1:DiagnosisCodeFT1(1).Identifier}' value='..replace(source.superBillDetailBeanDao.GetAt(i).iCDCodes,",","~")' action='set'/>


<assign property='target.{FT1grp(i).FT1:ProcedureCode.Identifier}' value='..replace(source.superBillDetailBeanDao.GetAt(i).cPTCode,",","~")' action='set'/>

I thought that this would be a case of the Tilde being a special character for your target document due to its common use in HL7 for repeating fields. However, I ran a test to see what I got when trying this.

I created a transform for a PV1 segment, and attempted to set the value of PV1:1 to the output of the replace function and the input string contained a few commas:

I then ran this, and got this result:

Not only did it successfully replace the commas with tildes, but the virtual document now see's it as a repeating segment (even though the field is not repeating in it's specification).

I know this doesn't directly help you, but wanted to share my results in case it helped lead you to finding a solution. (for ref, this is from version 2022.1 of Iris For Health)
