Problem with CONCAT of repeating OBX field to single field

use your field iteration in the segment iteration.

Couple things to check…

Make sure you are doing the logic inside the iteration for the OBX segment.

(I am assuming you are wrapping multiple OBX’s into a single OBX)

Make sure you are using the concat

If you are doing a bulk or path copy of the OBX Seg, you may need (before the concat) do a pathcopy of @null to  1(0).1(0).5(0).0(0).OBX(%s1)

To wipe out the contents that would otherwise be mapped… (this would be done inside your Segment iterate as well.

When you do that you will need to map the other fields you want in the OBX field by field or those will get wiped out as well.

Are you wanting to eliminate the subsequent OBX’s alltogether…

If so, it sounds like you are doing a bulkcopy, or a pathcopy within the segment iterate…

If you have a pathcopy using the iteration variables of the segment, you could remove it…

if you are doing a bulk copy, then you can use the pathcopy using source of @null and destination of the OBX segment within the iterate (and use your iteration variable) it will null all subsequent OBX segs being sent outbound.

I thought you wanted to take multiple OBX:5 fields into multiple OBX segments.

are you adding that before the segment iterate or within it?

If you want at the top, I suspect you would want to add before the iterate.

if the hardcoding is in the iterate with the concat action, it will put the hardcoding into the data with each iteration.

move your hardcoding our into its own copy command above the iterate.

Inside the iterate when you use the

concat

~1(0).1(0).5(0).0(0).OBX(0).#5(0)

1(0).1(0).5(0).0(0).OBX(%s1).#5(0)

it will pull what you have hardcoded. the first time but not each subsequent time.
