Assigned value not showing when segment printed

[jmergens1]

I assign a value top PID.4.1 and when I print the PID or add it to a message the value is blank.
I can access it through the Segment and message but it does not show when printed other than explicitly calling the field.
I can also access all other fields and they print out with the segment just fine
Can someone explain this to me?

Please provide some concrete source code

From your description I am assuming that you are trying something like this:

var message = new Message(content);
message.ParseMessage();
message.Segments("PID")[0].Fields(4).Components(1).Value = "SomeValue";

Console.WriteLine(message.HL7Message);

If my assumption is correct, changing the last line to

Console.WriteLine(message.SerializeMessage(false));

should do the trick.
