There has been much said on the topic of iteration, but here’s a new one. Hope you’re up for a challenge. Goal: Iterate through 2 groups of incoming frl fields (diag_1 thru diag_10 then dg2_1 thru dg2_11) placing them in HL7’s 0(0).DG1(1) thru 0(0).DG1(21).
Problem: The first iteration through (list 1 thru 10) works fine. However, when iterating a second time from 1 thru 11 and incrementing the variable by 10, our output gives unexpected results. Help!

Daniel,
In your second iteration, you are using a temp field as the iteration variable on your outbound field (0(0).DG1(@ctr).#3. I don’t believe you can do that, hence the unexpected results. You’ll need to use an iteration variable (i.e.%l4) and value that in your MATH action instead of @ctr; reference it the same as you do your %l3 variable by using the $ (i.e. $%l4). Then use that iteration variable in your outbound field path (0(0).DG1(%l4).#3
Hope this helps.

Dan,
It has been a while since I did any ITERATEs over FRL and I thought I simply set up the field names thus:
field_0
field_1
field_2
Then in the Xlate ITERATE selected any one of those fields and Copied to Basis.
I could not find any actual examples of me doing FRL ITERATE so I tried the above in Cloverleaf 5.6 and the basis cannot be set in the manner I recalled.
It is likely my memory is faulty and the method you are using is the method I actually utilized. However I just don’t recall having to know exactly how many occurrences there would be when setting up the ITERATE for FRL (which using a list ITERATE requires).
I think the last time I needed to do something like this was on release 3.3.1 of Cloverleaf.
Sorry if I gave false hope.
