TESTING TOOL – MULTIPLE MESSAGES

Hello,

I want to test multiple messages with the XLT testing tool. When I use SMAT to create a file with the messages I want to test the are a couple problems.

We are running Version 5.3

1.) SMAT puts the internal message ID before the MSH segment for all the messages. ( I just open the file in Notepad++ and using a regexp replace all to get rid of these, but I was wondering if there was a better way to do it while creating the file)

2.) The testing tool will not process the file SMAT spits out with multiple messages. It looks like the Testing tool cant tell where the new messages start. The options for the input file are ‘length encoded’, ‘eof terminated’, and ‘new line terminated’. How do I create a file with multiple HL7 messatges so the Testing Tool will be able to process all the messages?

Thanks,

Garrett
