OBX segment based on NTE value for ORU message type.

[Hina Siddiqui]

So the logic in the spec doc goes as follows:

OBX segment [These are mapped based on NTE-3 values NTEs following OBXs]

For all NTE segments if there is an NTE segment with NTE-2-SourceofComment =

If I understand you correctly, you are creating additional OBX segments for the output message.   I’m not sure what your output looks like or is supposed to look like (some examples might help).

Are you using your OBX counter to keep the order of OBX Set ID’s?   If so, you may need to do something with your iteration counter on the destination side.  Otherwise you run the risk of overwriting the OBX segment you previously created with the next iteration of the OBX from the source.

Hope this helps…

yes that is correct, I am trying to create a new OBX. The output should look like as follows

MSH|

PID|

PV1|

OBX|1

OBX|2

OBX|3

OBX|4

OBX|5|will have value of OBX 4

OBX|6

OBX|7

OBX|8|will have value of OBX 6 fields

Hope i made more sense

Just another quick info. My output looks like the image i have attached. As you can see, the 3 new OBXs that were created, were placed in the end and all those 3 new OBXs dont have the values from the OBX preceding to NTE but have values from the 1st OBX in the group 🙁

I tried to debug a lot but just stuck here and not able to move forward.
