Multi-OBX Iterate Indexing

[Rich]

Team,

As usual, thank you for always being on the ball!  I’m having trouble copying fields in inside an iterate.  I’m basing this on a multi-OBX index.  Here’s my Iterate:

Type: group

Basis: 1(0).1(0).3(0).0

Variable: %g1

Then I do a copy from OBX.1 to OBX.4 as follows:

1(0).1(0).3(0).0(%g1).OBX(0).#3(0).[0] -> 1(0).1(0).3(0).0(%g1).OBX(0).#3(0).[3]

For some reason this isn’t working.  I’m using Cloverleaf 6.0.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

Are you trying to copy the first component of OBX:3 to the 4th component of OBX:3?  That is the way I read your code.  Or are you trying to do this:

1(0).1(0).3(0).0(%g1).OBX(0).#1(0).[0] -> 1(0).1(0).3(0).0(%g1).OBX(0).#4(0).[0]

Are you trying to copy the setid to OBX.4?

Does the data match your variant?

If you would like to work on this off-line email me and I will help. I

Thanks, Jim, email incoming…

I stated that wrong.  I’m coping OBX.3.1 to OBX.3.4

First and foremost, A HUGE thank you to Jim Kosloskey for the screen sharing session to point out where I went wrong, and taking the time to make sure I understood the groove he was laying down!

The best thing I learned yesterday was that understanding your data completely will reduce mistakes (and frustration).

Solution: I didn’t realize that my schema was double nested.  Instead of

1(0).1(0).3(0).0(%g1).OBX(0).#3(0).[4]

I needed

1(0).1(%g2).3(0).0(%g1).OBX(0).#3(0).[4]
