      Greetings, I am trying to tack an additional OBX onto an ORU, and insert a line of asterisks into it,  but I think my logic may be flawed.  By reviewing the other posts related to this, I am trying to iterate through the OBX with %g1, MATH add one to it, and copy it to %g2.  If I iterate again using %g2, and COPY =***************** => 1(0).1(0).1(%g2).OBX.00573, it just over writes the first OBX.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

          Mark,

          You only need the one iteration.

          After that iteration, %g2 should have a value one greater than %g1 (after the MATH ADD). Simply copy the literal to the OBX field as you are doing.

          A key here is to specify $%g1 and $%g2 in the MATH ADD Action.

            So after the %g1 iterate, I run the MATH add, then COPY =***************** => 1(0).1(0).1(%g2).OBX.00573?

              Still can’t get it to work here is what I have

              BULKCOPY

              ITERATE: TYPE:group BASIS: 1(0).1(0).1 VARIABLE: %g1

              MATH ADD =1 $%g1 -> $%g2

              COPY =***************** => 1(0).1(0).1(%g2).OBX.00573

                Mark,

                That’s correct.

                ITERATE

                    stuff inside iterate

                    .

                    .

                    .

                (outside – after – iterate)

                MATH ADD $%g1 =1

                > $%g2

                COPY =************  

                >  1(0).1(0).1(%g2).OBX.00573

                That should do it (assuming there is no manipulation of %g1 inside the ITERATE).

                Thanks,

                Jim Kosloskey

                  Thanks Jim, I had to move the MATH ADD inside the iterate, and since this is my first usage of the MATH function, I didn’t realize that the operation had to be composed with the $%g1 on a line below the =1 in the Source.

                  =1

                  $%g1
