ORU – Iterate OBX

[Marcus de Leon]

Hi,

I am having trouble iterating through an ORU OBX segment. I have done it with MDM’s no problem, but with ORU it doesn’t seem to be iterating through the list correctly. This is what I’m using.

Type: segment

Basis: 1(0).1(0).1(0).OBX

Variable: %s1

In my pathcopy:

1(0).1(0).1(0).OBX(%s1)

Is there anything I’m missing?

Thanks,

Marcus de Leon

This is how we have some of ours:

Type: group

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

variable: %g1

Pathcopy:

1(0).1(0).1(%g1).OBX

[Marcus de Leon]

That worked perfectly! Thanks!

This issue resolved my problem as well!

thanks!

Kevin, your reply was very helpful and i thank you again.

Question, I need to add a value “RAD” in obx-3, when i do a copy i only get the “RAD” in the first obx-1 message…would you happen to know how can i add this “RAD” to each of my obx segments?

Inside the group-iteration, you will need another iteration over the OBX segments; something like this:

Type: segment

Basis: 1(0).1(0).1(%g1).OBX

Variable: %s1

You can then access all the OBX-segments by using 1(0).1(0).1(%g1).OBX(%s1).

Gricelda,

If you are using the standard ORU^R01 the OBX and NTE pair are a group repetition not a segment repetition.

I think you may have that correctly specified. Thus there is no use for a segment iteration.

However, you must use the group counter appropriately on the destination field path to indicate which repetition.

E.g. COPY =-RAD —> 1(0).1(0).1(%g1).OBX.#3

Note the placement of the %g1 in the destination. Just make sure your placement is in the correct spot for your variant.

If you are using PATHOPY for the OBX, make sure your COPY of =RAD (with the proper notation for the destination as above) follows the PATHCOPY.
