killmsg issue

[Rhonda Smith]

I have a killmsg tclproc which checks the OBR:16:0 field to see if equal to physician #’s to pass the transaction.  It is raw data, hl7 and what is happening is the 3 digit #’s work great but if a 4 digit number is sent…forget it.  I have a 3 digit number of 203 which is allowed to be sent but if a number 2203 comes through (not part of the list) it sends it anyway.  I can tell it is looking at the right 3 digits but I’m not sure what to do about it.  Thanks!

Might need to see your logic. Can you post your proc?

[Nate Kruse]

Just guessing based on your sample…

Are you doing a regexp or string equal or cequal?

[Tom Rioux]

Without knowing what your proc looks like, I’ll give you another thing to look for.   You mentioned the word “list”, so if you are using a “switch” statement to pass all the correct physician #’s, make sure you have a defualt that will kill the incorrect physician’s.

I wish I could help with that logic.  I’ve never used that type of statement before.  I searched this website and found some examples from a guy named Alan, but it wasn’t much help.

I can offer this though…

When we kill messages, we do something like this:

#Default to kill every message

set KillFlag YES

if {[string equal $PASSCOND 223]} {

 #if PASSCOND is set to 223, let the message pass.

 set KillFlag NO

}

if {[cequal $KillFlag YES]} {

 lappend dispList “KILL $msgId”

} else {

 lappend dispList “CONTINUE $msgId”

}

Maybe someone else can chime in as well.

Here is how we KILL messages for certain doctor numbers in the OBR-16.0 field……

          if [regexp {^(1123|197|1645|454|1528|600)$} $obr_16_1] {

              lappend dispList “CONTINUE $mh”

           return $dispList

           } else {

               lappend dispList “KILL $mh”

               return $dispList

           }        

Hope this helps……
