[Albert Sinha]

MSH-3.2 Sending Application/UniversalID

MSH-4.2 Sending Facility/UniversalID

MSH-5.2 Receiving Application/UniversalID

MSH-6.2 Receiving Facility/UniversalID

Using Xlate?

So you want |SendingApp^UniversalID| ?

What version of HL/7?

HL7 2.5.1  using XLATE or TCL  whatever will work best.

Yes that is correct sendingapp^universalID  for all the other MSH fields as I listed.

[Jim Kosloskey]

Assuming the UniversalID is a literal (I am using App and UniversalID as literals here).

in an Xlate (along with other Actions to populate the reset of the message)

COPY

=App             –> 0(0).MSH(0).#3.[0]     <- This sets the first component

=UniversalID  –> 0(0).MSH(0).#3.[1]     <- This sets the second component

Then do the same for the other MSH fields.

If you already have an Xlate add these Actions in the appropriate place. If you do not have an Xlate, then you will need to build out the rest of the message with appropriate Xlate Actions.

How fast depends on how much of an Xlate already exists and what you need to do if it does not exist.
