Anyone has any idea on how to delete part of a segment that is not needed. The obx segment is usually very long and the receiving vendor only one Line 1 to 10 and delete everything else.

your help will be greatly appreciated.

thank you.

  I am not sure what you mean, and can glean three different scenarios. Which of these apply to you?
  
  1. You have multiple OBX segments and you only want to send OBX|1 and OBX|10, and supress the rest.
  
  2. You have multiple fields in OBX and only want to send OBX-1 and OBX-10.
  
  3. The result you get in OBX-5 has multiple lines, and you only want to send line 1 and line 10.

  It’s number 1.
  
  I have multiple obx segment but only want to sent 1 through 10 and suppress anything after that. Please help.
  
  thank you.

  If you have more than 10 OBX’s and you only want to send OBX|1 through OBX|10, then you can use a list variable in your iteration over the OBX segments instead of the the segment variable. Set it up as:
  
  Type = list
  
  Basis = 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
  
  Variable = %l1
  
  Just place your %l1 variable where you would normally put the %s1 iteration variable. If your OBX segments are part of a group, then don’t forget the %g1 iteration variable in your path.
  
  Hope this helps…
