Iterations with one group and two segments

[Robert Denny]

I am attempting to create an if statement that will copy a string to NTE 3 field if true.

This is for an ORU and I have repeating OBX segment.

the if statement is based off of the condistion that a value in OBX-8 is true copy string to NTE 3 directly under said OBX segment.

For some reason my iterations are only putting the NTE at the bottom of the OBX segments, and not nested within.

Robert,

If this is a normal ORU (don’t have your variant so not sure) then the OBX is not a segment repetition but a group repetition and the NTE is a part of that group.

So you may need to change the ITERATE for the OBX to a group with the proper basis (the basis you are using won’t work for a group). Then you need to use the OBX Group ITERATE counter appropriately for the OBX and the NTE – everything should then line up.

this is for a 2.4 ORU R30.

These segments are all part of a group. I can try your suggestion, but I am fuzzy on how to create the counter.

I have tried some of the ways from other posts and not having any luck.

Such as

copy =$%s99 -> @$%s99

System did not like this declaration.

Jim,

The variants associated with this interface are used only by this interface. they are only ORU_R30s that we have on our system.

The OBX segments in the variants were part of two groups. Once I removed them from the ORC to CTL group and configured them only to be grouped with their own NTE segments, then it was just a bit of modification for the xlate to work.

Thank you for you time and suggestions.
