Issues

Badly escaped acks have been found on live systems and Medilink have been advised in case 604307. These have been getting stuck in the NSW Health server.

Example:

1. .

The following script can be used to preprocess the acks before they as supplied to the Capricorn. It will remove the ERR segment and recreate the MSA so it only contains the ack code.
