Test sites: San Francisco VAMC, Bay Pines VAMC, Nashville VAMC
creating HL7 batch messages. A mismatch in field separator characters will
occur in a message if a VistA application specifies a field separator
character other than the Circumflex.
This patch removes the dependency on hard-coded field separator characters
in VistA HL7. This change will accommodate VistA applications that use
field separator characters other than the Circumflex, ensuring that batch
messages will have the same field separator character in all their
segments.
