iteration help

[Kevin Crist]

Working with an iteration for A60s and not having any luck. I am only getting the first segment (below). Can someone point me in the right direction, i am sure it is something simple. My variant is 2.4 and is the same for IB and OB.

The %s1 variable follows whatever your basis is.  So in your case:

0(0).IAM(%s1)

This is particularly important on the source side since that is what you are actually iterating over.  If you are simply going through fields in each segment, it would be like:

Copy 0(0).IAM(%s1).#1.[0] –> 0(0).IAM(%s1).#1.[0]

for example….

Another note:

If you are simply wanting all of the IAM segments to be copied, the pathcopy statement copies all paths that start with….

pathcopy 0(0).IAM –> 0(0).IAM

Will generally copy them all without using the iterate.

Here is a parital screen shot of the allergy xlate for HL7 2.4 A60 message going to pharmacy that I did that you can look at for comparison to see how I iterated over the IAM segment(s).

You might also notice another technique we have come to like of using an if statement to contain all the mappings of a given segment so it can be expanded/collapsed easily to avoid all the scrolling through other segment mappings not of interest.

If you want a copy of my xlate to leverage as a starting point email me off line and I will send you a copy, but be aware I only mapped the fields that get consumed by the downstream pharmacy system.

If memory serves me right the variants are probably a copy of the standard HL7 2.4 A60 but we have a in-house standard that we define a inbound and outbound variant for every xlate regardless if it is just a copy of the standard.
