Does anyone know of an easy way to take a transcription message that outputs all the text in one OBX-5 field and translate it to output in multiple OBX segments?
If the OBX-5 field is repeating (meaning it was built by the sending system with the field repetition separator defined in MSH-2 present) then simply ITERATE on the field and construct a new OBX segment with each repetition.
Otherwise it will depend on how the OBX-5 field is constructed by the sending system. Many vendors do it many different ways.

Here’s a procedure that I wrote some time ago to handle a similar situation. It’ll take a little study but it takes a text blob from a source field and breaks it up into multiple obx’s. It actually fills in three fields; the set id, the value type and the text field. It uses xpm and a loop to store the fields because there’s nothing to iterate on.
Greg, like your tcl – but am not putting it in the proper place – appears to do as expetcted – but my last output is the last sized field – any hints as to what the destination side should look like? Also do you expect to be in a interate when you do this? Maybe I am missing something
