How to do IF / COPY

[Anna Fleeger]

I am trying to replace the code in OBR #4 [0] based on the text in OBR #4 [1]

 

If the text is   PREPARE CONVALESCENT PLASMA   then I need the first field to be   CON

Try this:

 

IF OBR#4.[0] eq =PREPARE COONVALESCENT PLASMA

COPY =CON –> OBR#4.[0]

This can be troublesome because PREPARE CONVALESCENT PLASMA is a string with spaces…

Create a variable with your string:

COPY =PREPARE CONVALESCENT PLASMA -> @TestString

Create a variable with OBR-4.1:

COPY OBR-4.1 -> @OBRText

If @OBRText eq @TestString  THEN COPY OBR-4.0 -> OBR-4.1

Is that the only value in OBR-4.2 that need to have something in OBR-4.1?

Xlate I am assuming.

If that is the only value then a simple IF Action:

IF OBR-4.2 (use appropriate address path here) eq =PREPARE CONVALESCENT PLASMA

COPY =CON to OBR-4.1 (use appropriate address path here).

On some releases of Cloverleaf you may need to COPY the value PREPARE CONVALESCENT PLASMA to a temp variable first and then do the IF against the temp variable.

If there could many relationships of text in OBR-4.2 to a value or set of values in OBR-4.1 then a Table would be the best bet. No IF needed then just a TABLE Action.

Thanks to everyone to responded to my question.

We went with Jim’s suggestion of going with a table because there could be additional codes that will need to be converted.  Here are the steps we took to determine if the result text was what we were looking for, and if so, to update the result code:

1. created a table with the result text requiring a special code in the IN side and the desired replacement result code in the OUT side.  The Use Default Value is selected, and allowed to stay Null.
2. in the xlt enter TABLE operation, use text in OBR.4[1] as the Source, with the new table, write the Destination value to a variable
3. using IF operation, if the variable value is NOT null, use the variable as the Source, and COPY the value to the OBR#4[0]

 

Many thanks to Jim for his additional support!
