I have a lab translate that I iterate through all the OBX segments. (see attached screenshot of translate) I would like to add a line at the beginning of the interations with “titles” in OBX.3, OBX.5, and OBX.7.

Currently my message comes out like this:

OBX|1|ST|MLI-5603^Anti – HCV||See ARUP Report||Negative||||F

I would like it to come out like this:

OBX|1|ST|MLI-5603^TEST||RESULT||RANGE||||F

OBX|2|ST|MLI-5603^Anti – HCV||See ARUP Report||Negative||||F

If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate them. I am not great with tcl.

Thanks,

Gina

  If I understand, you want to put the title in once before the rest of the OBX’s. Simple.
  
  First add a COPY statement (or many if you prefer to do it field by field) before your iterate to add the title data. Use the value 0 where %g2 is from the following iterate.
  
  Code: COPY =RANGE -> 1(0).1(%g1).1(0).OBX(0).00575
  
  Next before you enter the iterate, initialize a variable to keep track of the next OBX statement you are going to set, call it %x1.
  
  Code: COPY =1 -> $%x1
  
  Now in your iterate, for each copy to field, replace %g2 with %x1. The copy from stays %g2. For example:
  
  Code: COPY 1(%g1).1(%g2).OBX.00569 -> 1(0).1(%g1).1(%x1).OBX(0).00569
  
  Lastly, at the end of the iterate, add one to the %x1 counter.
  
  Code: MATH: ADD =1 $%x1 ->$%x1
  
  Hope this helps,
