Creating multiple order messages from a single message

Yes this can be done with an Iterfate within the Xlate.

Just Iterate over the group and contiue at the end of the iteration.

Create all the MSH, PID..ORC outside the iterate.

Then within the iterate add the OBR & OBX Continue Add next OBR & OBX and continue.

Here is a translation that will do what you want.

There is a bug in it that is a bit of a challenge.

If your first OBR has more OBX then the second OBR.

I don’t know how to remove the extra OBX’s.

I thought a Pathcopy @null would work but it does not.

Or maybe I just have it wrong.

You will need to change the tags to match your HL7 variant.

But this should get you started.

Here is what you need to get rid of the bug:

In your xlate, you have the following line in the body of your xlate:

{ OP PATHCOPY }

                   { ERR 0 }

                   { IN 1(%g1).OBX(%s1) }

                   { OUT 1(0).OBX(%s1) }

Just BEFORE that line, put this line:

{ OP PATHCOPY }

                   { ERR 0 }

                   { IN @null }

                   { OUT 1(0).OBX(%s1) }

Since in the outbound message, the field notations for the OBX
