Iteration on OBX

[Ray Mullen]

Hi ,

Hi I have a message with multiple OBR and OBX segments and need to change the value in the third field of every OBX within a translate. I have set up an iteration with the following

Type : group  Basis: 1(0).1(0).1 variable: %g1 and within the translate

Pathcopy: Input  : =L     Output :    1(0).1(0).1(%g1).OBX.00571.[2]

This changes all the values in the first set of OBX

Ray,

If your variant is set up in a similar fashion to ours, then you have a group for the OBX/NTE segments.   The iteration for this is set up just as you have described below:

Type : group  Basis: 1(0).1(0).1 variable: %g1 and within the translate

Pathcopy: Input  : =L     Output :    1(0).1(0).1(%g1).OBX.00571.[2]

You should also have a grouping that includes all of the OBR, OBX, and the associated NTE’s, if any.   You will probably need to do nested iterates like:

Type : group  Basis: 1(0).1 variable: %g1

   Type : group  Basis: 1(0).1(%g1).1 variable: %g2

   (and within the translate)

   Pathcopy: Input  : =L     Output :    1(0).1(%g1).1(%g2).OBX.00571.[2]

Hope this helps….

Thanks Tom , for your reply , that worked fine for me using nested iteration. it’s very much appreciated
