      I am trying to create an OBX segment in a result my inbound has repeating OBX segments but I want to add a OBX segment in front of the existing one here is an example of before and after.

      Code:

      before
      OBR|2|||MIC||||||||||||||||||||||^1
      OBX|1|ST|A/S^Amp/Sulbactam|1|S|mcg/mL||S
      OBX|2|ST|Am^Ampicillin|1|S|mcg/mL||S

      After
      OBR|2||E9260000|SENSI|||200905261224|||||||||||||1||||||^1
      [b]OBX|1|TX|SENSI|1|Klebsiella pneumoniae||||||F[/b]
      OBX|1|TX|A/S^Amp/Sulbactam|1|S|mcg/mL||S|||F
      OBX|2|TX|Am^Ampicillin|1|S|mcg/mL||S|||F

          So you do not care that you have two OBX segments in a row where OBX.1=1?

          In either case, you need to set up an ITERATE in your Xlate over the OBX segments and COPY each one to the next subscript value, then set the first one to what you want.

          Are you looking for help with the actual syntax of an ITERATE statement?  If so, we need to know the variang definition for your OBX segments, so we can help you set up the correct BASIS for your ITERATE command.

          Hope this helps,

            If you want to do it in Tcl, try something like this:

            run {

              here is what I have so far I have my segment built but if I iterate and copy the rest of the OBX segments it overwrites the one that I created I need to copy the inbound 0 to the outbound 1 and so on there could be many of these so I cannot just copy each one.

              Thanks

                Mason,

                At a minimum you will need to maintain your own counter for your outbound OBX fields.

                That counter should be one more than the inbound counter from the OBX group Iteration  Counter.

                You can use that counter to compute the OBX Set ID if it needs to be valid.

                  Reding the Xlate, I see three iterates, and only two control variables.

                  That aside, Jim is right on the money.

                      I looked at the link you give and this is what I have but it is not copying the first OBX segment it is skipping it and copying the second one.  Do you see anything wrong with what I have?

                      Thanks
