IF problem within Iterate

[Gordon Koch]

Hello All,

   I need to iterrogate down to the field level amongst repeating OBX.5 fields (within a repeating group), and then output the whole group if the condition is met. My IF statement successfully finds the match, but my output only includes the matched field, and not the rest of the OBX.5 fields that I want included. Here is the basis in my IF statement:

1(0).2(0).1(%g1).OBX(0).#5(%f1)

Any input would be appreciated to fix the Xlate.

Thanks.

What’s inside your if?  When you’re including an element of an itterate only if it matches a certain criteria you also have to keep a variable that keeps track of how many matches you’ve had so you know which itteration of the output variant you’re on.

Hello Daniel,

    My IF statement has a contains (ct) doing a string match. I understand why it is returning only the subfield with the match, but I want to apply different code to the whole OBX.5 when this element is present. This is what I am trying to figure out.

Thank you.

Can you include a screenshot so I can see what you’re Xlate is doing?
