OBR 28 & subfield 0

[Femina Jaffer]

Hello All,

I am pulling my hair thru this one!  I am iterating over the field OBR 28 to find all instances of “result copies to or cc dr”.  It is looking at each subfield (there are three) and capturing all three.  HOwever, I need to break each of the dr’s up and put them in there own temp variable.

Eg. 18549^Jay^Jan^DOM~10944^Brown^Joshua^MD~^

I need tmp to equal 18549, tmp2 to equal 10944.  I can’t get this to work this way.  Instead  I am getting all three together stored in a variable when I do the following

1(0).1(0).0(0).OBR(0).#28(%f1)].[0]

>@var

Please advise someone?

Thank you so much,

Femina

So, the question is how do you reference each DR Code?

Femina,

If you are sure there can nly be three maximum, try this instead of iterating:

1(0).1(0).0(0).OBR(0).#28(0].[0]

>@var1

1(0).1(0).0(0).OBR(0).#28(1].[0]

---

>@var2

1(0).1(0).0(0).OBR(0).#28(2].[0]

---

>@var3

Thanks Jim K!  That worked exactly the way I wanted.  I could of swore that I tried that and couldn’t get that to work.  Perhaps, I had left the interate too.

Thank you so much!
