      I have been searching the forum trying to figure out how to do this.

      Currently, I have an IB that takes HL7 ORU msgs.  It then routes them, converting them to a flat file and sends to OB FileSet thread.  I found an earlier discussin saying that there is a contrib tps called numfile in which I can pass a name (name to contain XXXX%d# – # indicating the length of the number).  It says to add this to the OB TPS for my thread.  

      How do I pass the filename to this TPS? I would assume I need to create another TPS that calls the numfile.tps and passes the NAME arg?

      Can someone provide assistance on how to do this, such as do I need to set $MH [mytpsproc NAME tafile%d4] for example?  Or do I need to set a global variable representing the filename?

      I am wanting to force each HL7 message to a flat file with unique filename.

      Any assistance on this would be helpful as I have a short deadline on this.

      thanks,

          Nancy,

          1. Is your IB thread TCPIP or Fileset?

          2. Where will you get the file name for each msg?

            Hi Nancy,

            You can add your unique file name to in the MetaData part of the message, using a statemnet as follows. This example uses a FILESET protocol.

            # Set a unique file name here

                       msgmetaset $mh DRIVERCTL “{FILESET { {OBAPPEND 1 } { OBFILE ${UNIQUE FILE NAME}.$fileExt } } }”

                       echo ” FileName: message reset with filename. “

            Let me know if you need more detail.

            Thanks

              Nancy,

              The NAME argument for this proc is a keyed list which you should place in the Args panel of the TPS Outbound Data entry of the Outbound Thread Configuration (Outbound Tab).

              Cloverleaf then passes the NAME keyed list to the proc which extracts it. All you need to do is to place the Key (NAME) and the value you want associated with it.
