      Hello everyone,

      I’m tring to take on RER message and convert it into an MDM message, which I’ve managed to do, but the problem comes with the obx segment.  I’m tring to align the fields up when it goes into the receiving system.  

      Drug:  OXYCODONE-APAP          Pharmacy:  WALGREEN DRUG STORE

      Drug:  FUROSEMIDE          Pharmacy:  WALGREEN DRUG STORE

      Thanks for any help on this issue.

          I’m assuming you are using the format command.  Determine the maximum number of spaces for your first column and the maximum number of spaces for your second column ( the second number may not be necessary so long as you know you won’t go over the specified number of spaces per line).  See the format example below:

          set Pat_Header [format “%-41s %-24s” $Pat_Name $Pat_ID]

          The “s” identifies it as a string and the “-” left justifies the column.

          Hope this is what you were looking for.
