We are migrating some exams off of an old PACS, and all of the patient names are in the last name column with a blank first name column. The format of the name in the last name column is lastname, firstname. Is it possible to use importconverter to take everything before the comma and keep it in the last name field, and everything after the comma into the firstname column?
Thanks a bunch!

Is it possible to use the importconverter function to copy a tag to another?
I would like to copy the contents of 0008,0104 to 0008,1030
Thanks!

The update to the program fixed the problem. Thanks a bunch - I appreciate the input.
will do and will try again
thank you
I tried it with your proposed syntax and still nothing. Would it help if i sent you my dicom.ini?
and thanks for the reply. i will change to set and see what happens

We have a CT machine that does not send in an institution name in 0008,0080. I would like to use an importconverter to change this empty field to "Freeman East Hospital"
What would be the right syntax be to accomplist this?
I have tried ImportConverter0 = setifempty 0008,0080 to "freeman east hospital" but that did not work.
Also - is there a specific place in the DICOM.INI file that the importconverter lines need to be placed?
Thanks!
