Greetings Cloverleafers! Quovadx 5.2 on AIX
Trying to CONCAT all OBX.5 into a single OBX, can anyone give me a hint? – Thanks!
INPUT:
OBX|01|TX|Abdomen 1V^Abdomen 1v^Rad|01|1016180 Oloughlin Kathleen|…
OBX|02|TX|Abdomen 1V^Abdomen 1v^Rad|01||…
OBX|03|TX|Abdomen 1V^Abdomen 1v^Rad|01|Screening Mammogram:||…
…….
OUTPUT:
OBX|01|TX|Abdomen 1V^Abdomen 1v^Rad||1016180 Oloughlin Kathleen.brScreening Mammogram:.br……||||||F|

Typically the receiving system wants the elements from each OBX-5 to be as repeating OBX-5 field in one OBX (not concatenated together). Are you sure that is not what is needed?
For example:
ib:
OBX|01|TX|Abdomen 1V^Abdomen 1v^Rad|01|1016180 Oloughlin Kathleen|…
OBX|02|TX|Abdomen 1V^Abdomen 1v^Rad|01||…
OBX|03|TX|Abdomen 1V^Abdomen 1v^Rad|01|Screening Mammogram:||…
ob:
OBX|01|TX|Abdomen 1V^Abdomen 1v^Rad|01|1016180 Oloughlin Kathleen~~Screening Mammogram:~…
Using your example.
Rather than an ob:
OBX|01|TX|Abdomen 1V^Abdomen 1v^Rad|01|1016180 Oloughlin KathleenScreening Mammogram:…
THe technique for either is similar but yet different – and you want to get correct what the receiving system wants.

Sorry, for some reason I missed your sample OUTPUT. OK –
Iterate through the OBX (probably a group) and concat the OBX-5 value with a temp variable and the .br.
When the iteration is finished the temp variable will have the concatenated information with an additional .br. You can either leave it as it may not cause a problem or remove it using a Tcl proc.
Then copy the temp variable to the first (and only) ob OBX-5. Of cpourse you can either copy the rest of the OBX from the first IB OBX-5 before the iterate or after.

Jim, I think you are absolutely right, I was thinking of that too, but while doing the xlate, I was having problem: the OBX segment never shows up. Here’s what I used: 1. ITERATE:
Type: segment Basis: 1(0).1(0).1(0).OBX Variable: %g1
2. Inside the ITERATE:
CONCAT: Separator: .br Source: 1(0).1(0).1(0).OBX(%g1).00573 @box5 Destination: @box5
3. After the ITERATE and outside of the ITERATE
COPY: Source: @obx5 Destination: 1(0).1(0).1(0).OBX.00573
Where did I do wrong?

My guess is your basis is incorrect. One way to check it is to run the HL/7 Tester using the IB variant and the message with which you are testing. Turn the noise level on the Tester to 2 and observe where the address path changes for each OBX.
I think you will see it change at 1(0).1(0).1(0) not 1(0).1(0).1(0).OBX.
So I think this is a group iteration not a segment iteration (usually is group). If it is your Source: would be 1(0).1(0).1(%g1).OBX(0).00573
Anyway, run the HL/7 tester and make sure.
