Block segment

[K Muthukumaran]

Hi, Is it possible to block a segment (don’t send this segment alone) if any of the value in that segment is empty?

for example, I am forwarding ORU messages through QDX 5.3 and while doing that I am requested to remove the OBX segments if OBX 5 is empty.

Thanks & Regards,

Muthu

Hi Muthu,

This would be done easiest in the translation.

Make sure OBX is an optional segment. Then use an IF statement to see whether OBX-5 is empty; if so, PATHCOPY @null to the OBX segment, so all OBX fields will be empty. That way the OBX segment will be removed from the message.
