Copy from one OBX segment to a previous OBX in Xlate

[Troy Morton]

I need to copy the UOM value from the third OBX.5 in the result back to the first OBX.6 in the result series.

I tried this, however, it appears that @newvar is not being used as the group iteration.  Its copying to group (0) every time.  If I hardcode 3 into @mynewvar, it still only copies the UOM to the (0) group OBX.

Code:

               { { OP IF }
                   { ERR 0 }
                   { COND { 1(0).1(0).1(%g1).OBX.00572.[0] == =3} }
                   { THENBODY {
                       { { OP SUB }
                           { ERR 0 }
                           { IN {{$%g1} =2} }
                           { OUT @mynewvar }
                           { FUNCTION SUB }
                       }
                       { { OP COPY }
                           { ERR 0 }
                           { PRE {
                               set #xlateOutVals [string range [lindex $xlateInVals 0] 6 end]
                           }}
                           { IN {{1(0).1(0).1(%g1).OBX.00573(0).[0]}} }
                           { OUT {{1(0).1(0).1($@mynewvar).OBX.00574}} }
                       }
                       { { OP COPY }
                           { ERR 0 }
                           { PRE {
                               echo $xlateInVals
                           }}
                    }}
                   { ELSEBODY {
                   }}

Output:

Troy,

You can’t use temp variables as iteration variables, but you can use, create, and manipulate the value of iteration variables by referencing

[Troy Morton]

Thanks James!  That worked.  I didn’t know you could create an iteration variable on the fly like that.  I’ll have to file this away in my Cloverleaf secrets, tips and tricks folder.    😀
