Pathcopy question

[Jim Doane]

I’m having trouble using the pathcopy option. The messages are formatted as follows:

  Input     Output

  MSH      MSH

  PID       PID

  [PV1]    [PV1]

  OBR      [ORC]

  {OBX}  OBR

              [{NTE}]

              {

                OBX

                 [{NTE}]

               }

I want to pathcopy the repeating OBX segments. I’ve tried it using and not using iteration. I can copy a field at a time, but not pathcopy the entire segment. Any help would be appreciated.

I’m not sure if you can pathcopy from a segment-based repetition to a group based repetition.

If you don’t need the extra NTE segments after the OBX (hoping you don’t, since they don’t exist in your input variant), try modifying your output variant to look like this:

MSH

PID

[PV1]

[ORC]

OBR

[{NTE}]

{OBX}
