Multiple OBX to Single OBX

[Mauricio Garzon]

How do I take just one OBX segment from multiple OBXs in a message and send that one OBX only? I am basing it on the text value INFLATIONS that I see in OBX#5 in this example.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!   🙂

Here is a quickie use an Iterate over the obx with an IF statement.

ITER OBX ….

if  OBX.5  EQ =VALUE_HERE

    PATHCOPY OBX

Warning if you are using bulk copy you will have to blank out the other OBX. Or better yet don’t use bulkcopy. And copy everything separately.

Ok thanks! I think this will lead me to where I needed to go.
