base 64 encoding OBX.5 XML CCD

[Scherie Drewa]

I am trying to send a CCD in an HL7 message, and the XML in OBX.5 needs to be “base 64” encoded.  How is that done in Cloverleaf?

Here is the first part of the message:

—-MSH|^~&|MCK_CCD_BAYLOR|MCK^2|BAYLORCDR|HIE|201209281053||MDM^T02|MH594382|P|2.3

OBX|0|ED|MHCCD||

I am on AIX, Cloverleaf 5.8 version 2

package require base64

set val [base64::encode $val]

thanks Charlie.  I’ll see if I can get that to work!

Charlie,

Do we need the explicit package declaration?

Within TCL I can invoke decode and encode as a command.

Running both 5.7R2 and 5.8.5.

Thanks.

Do not use the encode and decode commands.  They are deprecated and you may get incorrect results.  Use the package
