Determine HL7 paths from the Variant

[Keith McLeod]

Does anyone have tcl code or guidance on how to determine the HL7 paths use by cloverleaf either from the standard or the customized file created under the message directory? ie 0(0).MSH or 2(0).1(0).0(0).OBR(0).#16(0)
2(0).1(0).0(0).OBR(0).#16(1)

Currently I use the output of the testing tool, but was wondering if someone hass a way to read below and provide accurate paths.

MSH
[{ SFT } ]
[ EVN ]
PID
[
[ PD1 ]
[{ ROL } ]
]
[{ NK1 } ]
PV1
[
PV2
[{ NTE } ]
[{ ROL } ]
]
[{ DB1 } ]
[{ OBX } ]
[{ AL1 } ]
[{ DG1 } ]
[ DRG ]
[
{
PR1
[{ ROL } ]
}
]
[{ GT1 } ]
[
{
IN1
[ IN2 ]
[{ IN3 } ]
[ ZIN ]
[{ ROL } ]
}
]
[ ACC ]
[ UB1 ]
[ UB2 ]
[ PDA ]

Keith,

What I have done is to either create a dummy Xlate with the layout (in this case HL/7) specified IB or use the Xlate that is or will be part of the Integration. Then I select the item of interest and copy that to paste wherever. IN my case, almost always an argument to a Tcl proc.

A little klutzy, but I don’t need to do it very often or for more than one or two items.

I would guess there is a module somewhere in the engine files which is used within the Xlate GUI to give the address path but I don’t have any idea even where to look.
