Hxx segment

      We are receiving an HL7 message that has an Hxx segment in it.  I tried to adding Hxx segment to my HL7 variant and it automatically saves it in all upper case as HXX instead of Hxx.  I think this might be causing my issues with the Hxx segment in my translate.  getting errors in the output message “unknown segment ‘Hxx’ — ignored”  How do I go about adding this Hxx segment to a variant so I can use it in a translate?

          HL/7 standard is all segment IDs must be upper case.

          I suspect your sending system needs to be corrected.

          Have you checked to make sure even HXX is a valid Segment ID?

          It has to be one of the supported segments for the HL/7 version being used or a Z Segment otherwise it is in violation of the standard.

          Check the HL/7 standard for the version and see if an HXX segment is doucmented.

            Thanks Jim, I couldn’t find that the HXX is a standard HL7 segment.  I am going to try to turn this into a Z segment to see if it will resolve my issues.
