Narrative:
Clearance from dfw to msy was clare 2 swb btr. When I entered the clearance space into the FMS; I saw that the clare 2 was in and also saw swb. Somehow; swb was not set up as a transitional segment. When we went through the flight plan; it appeared to both of us to be correct. In flight this made us drop the tekbe intersection. I am not sure how this happened. We did everything we could to ensure that the clearance was correct in the FMS. I do not know if it was an entry error or not.

Title: MD80 FAILS TO PROGRAM REQUIRED ENRTE TRANSITION TO RNAV SID FROM DFW. FORMAT OF PDC IS POSSIBLE SOURCE OF CONFUSION.
Narrative: CLRNC FROM DFW TO MSY WAS CLARE 2 SWB BTR. WHEN I ENTERED THE CLRNC SPACE INTO THE FMS; I SAW THAT THE CLARE 2 WAS IN AND ALSO SAW SWB. SOMEHOW; SWB WAS NOT SET UP AS A TRANSITIONAL SEGMENT. WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THE FLT PLAN; IT APPEARED TO BOTH OF US TO BE CORRECT. IN FLT THIS MADE US DROP THE TEKBE INTERSECTION. I AM NOT SURE HOW THIS HAPPENED. WE DID EVERYTHING WE COULD TO ENSURE THAT THE CLRNC WAS CORRECT IN THE FMS. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WAS AN ENTRY ERROR OR NOT.
