Merge 2 messages together

[Rob Parnell]

I have an issue where the vendor is going to send me a ORU message but they will not have an account number.  The down system requires the acct number to post.  

Is there a way to hold the message and query the HIS and grab the acct and add that to the ORU.  I know the query part can work just not sure about holding the message and merging the two together.

I have pushed this back to the vendor but not sure if they will do it.  The vendor is funding this project and we dont have a lot of say in the matter

I am not sure why you would need to hold the message.

You can do the query while you have the message either in Tps, or pre-route or in an Xlate, or post route.

You should be able to do the query while you have the message in any of the points above, get the data, and populate the message accordingly, then pass the message along.
