Iteration question

[Manny Zachodin]

How do I specify the parameters of two ITERATE’s for the following  X12-837 message: ( know how to do the 4(%g2))

2(0).2(0).4(0).0(0).sv2(0)

2(1).2(0).4(0).0(0).sv2(0)

2(1).2(0).4(1).0(0).sv2(0)

2(1).2(0).4(2).0(0).sv2(0)

2(2).2(0).4(0).0(0).sv2(0)

2(2).2(0).4(1).0(0).sv2(0)

2(2).2(0).4(2).0(0).sv2(0)

Thank you for your prompt advice!

Manny,

You will need to use nested iterations.

The first iteration will be at the

2(0).2(0).4(0).0(0).sv2(0) loop

Within that iteration you will have another iterate at the

2(0).2(0).4(0).0(0).sv2(0) loop.

You may also need another iteration in the intervening loop but your data does not show that.

Make sure to use the counter from the first iteration in the basis definition of the second iteration.

JIm. Thank you for your guidance.  I am still puzzled about the number I need to put as the basis for this example:

2(1).1(0)…….

2(2).1(0)…….

2(3).1(0)…….

Action:  ITERATE

Type: Group

Basis: ???????

Variable: %g1

Thaks again.

For this example the basis would be: 2

For the next group it would be: 2(%g1).1

And so on…

Hope this helps,

Manny,

If you select the group from the Inbound pane in your ITERATE Action properties, you should see the ‘Copy to Basis’ button (Ithink its {…}) activated as well as see the basis for that position below.

If you click on the ‘Copy to Basis’ button Your Basis in the ITERATE will be populated. Just make sure you position yourself at the correct place in the inbound.
