Team,

I need to pull the value from PID.13.6, put it into a variable, then concatenate it with parenthesis around it. I’d like to use an XLT for this.
1. How do I pull the value, and put it into a variable?
2. How do I use concat to “(” + variablename + “)” ?
Thank you!

  COPY PID.13.6 -> @variable
  
  CONCAT =( @variable =) -> @variable
  
  on the CONCAT operation, make sure each element is on a separate line in the input box, e.g.
  
  =(
  
  @variable
  
  =)

    Thank you for the quick reply!
    
    When I copy @ac back to pid, I get the literal value “@ac” in my HL7 message. What did I do wrong?

  You should be able to CONCAT your input value with the parentheses directly into your output field. Let’s assume you want to CONCAT your PID:13.6 value. In your input (source) list of the CONCAT statement it would be:
  
  =(
  0(0).PID(0).#13(0).[5]
  =)
