If you're familiar with Swift messages you'l know that, for example a tag such as 98a may repeat as follows:

:98A::TRAD//20021030
:98C::SETT//20021101120000
:98A::ADEL//20021125

...depending on the date/time content of 98a. However, when it come to referencing this repeating field, the 'A' or 'C' suffix to '98' prevents me using a repeating function. What I need to use is something like:

WHILE X <= CARDINALITY(InputBody.98*[])
DO
IF InputBody.Keyword = 'TRAD'
THEN
SET OutputRoot.Trade.Date=InputBody.98*[X].Date;
END IF;
SET X=X+1;
END WHILE;
where * is a wildcard, to reference all occurances of tag 98, be it 98A or 98C.

Any ideas?
