Create a var to hold msg.payload  
then reference that var  
`Let hold = msg;` (first line )  
then use  
`msg1 = {"payload": hold.payload.charAt(6)};`  
edit/ correct error.

or

```auto
let msg1 = {"payload": msg.payload.charAt(7)};
let msg2 = {"payload": msg.payload.charAt(6)};
let msg3 = {"payload": msg.payload.charAt(5)};
return [msg1,msg2,msg3];

```
