FRL to HL7 xlate

[mary brewer]

I am trying to take a FRL file and xlate it to a HL7 message type.

The HL7 message type that I have to send it to is not standard.

I created a variant, but when I test my xlate. I am getting the following:

MESSAGE 1

[0:TEST] ftlGetTokenList: Missing message type.

[0:TEST] [mid:0xb77e853c] ERROR.  Invalid message type ”.

unable to get information on invalid HL7 message ” for parse

I really could use some help.

Thanks in advance

It sounds like your message type is not defined in your configuration.

Open your xlate, click on “File” and then “Reconfigure”.  On the Output Record Format, check to make sure you defined a message type (i.e. ADT_A01) for your HL7 variant.

Hope this helps…Tom

Hi Tom,

I have double checked that.. It is defined.  Any other ideas?

And then you need to make sure that the correct message type (ie ADT^A01) is put into MSH-9 of the message. So your Xlate should COPY the correct message type into MSH-9.

Mary, I got the exact same error message a while back.  But my xlate was from HL7 to FRL.  The problem was an extra field separator following the Encoding Characters field. This is a example of the input:

FHS|^~&|them|them|us|us|……..

BHS|^~&||them|them|us|us|……..

MHS|^~&||them|them|us|us|……..

Although this is not the same situation as yours, I thought it might help.
