Create multiple group based on Number of segments in a group

[Amith Lankesar]

Hi there, I’ve tried looking for help in the forum but can’t find anything that related to my odd translation in CL5.8.

I have an ORM with the following structure:

MSH

EVN

PID

PV1

{

 ORC

 RXO

 RXR

 {RXG}

}

This will convert to an RDS with a similar structure:

MSH

EVN

PID

PV1

{

 ORC

 RXD

 RXR

}

The problem is that the {RXG} is repeated. So this to work I need to create the ORC,RXD, RXR again eg

MSH

EVN

PID

PV1

ORC

RXD|1|values from RXG1

RXR

ORC

RXD|2|values from RXG2

RXR

My translation works for only the first RXG, so all I get is:

MSH

EVN

PID

PV1

ORC

RXD|1|values from RXG1

RXR

The source message can contain single or multiple RXG.

1) How do I use a segment iteration to create a new group?

2) Will I need to use a TCL?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Create a group variable for your Destination and maintain it in your code.
