Iteration Help

[Kevin Crist]

I have iterated the NK1 segment so we send more than one, that seems to be working ok, but i am trying to put in a table so i can change the relationship codes in the NK1-3, but i am only changing the first NK1 segment, I have tried a few different things with no luck, can someone point me in the right direction…

thanks

Kevin, could you please post a picture of your variant, too?

Most likey, you need to do it like this: …NK1(%s1)…

here is my variant. its 2.3

The Variable %s1 goes at teh end of the basis.  Your Table statement needs to look more like:

Table 0(0).NK1(%s1).#3 –> 0(0).NK1(%s1).#3

When you get a chance view messages in SMAT with you variant selected and take note of the counters such as where the %s1 is located.  I had some other iterate examples out on clovertech that you may want to look at.  It includes the basis when the iterate is within an iterate.  You need to make sure your basis contains the variable of the surrounding basis should you have one.  Good luck…

ok, i have tried what you said and a few other things but i am still having some issues. It is now iterating the last NK1 segment only. i have a sample below. The inbound variant is the same as the outbound. Iterations always test my patience.

Kevin,

Did you remember to change your PATHCOPY? It needs the same change as your TABLE Action.

Good Catch Jim.  You may want to move the pathcopy above the iterate with the following:

pathcopy 0(0).NK1 –> 0(0).NK1

Notice I removed the segment repetiion above.

Or if you wish to keep in in the iterate at its current location.

pathcopy 0(0).NK1(%s1) –> 0(0).NK1(%s1)

This should do the trick…

Beautiful. That worked. Thanks to both of you for your time.
