renumbering segments after suppressing

[Yamil Velez]

Hi all

     

     I would like to know if there is a way to renumber the segments after you suppress them.

   For example this the original

DG1|1|FF||NEWBORN||A|||||||||0

DG1|2|I9|V30.00|SINGLE LB IN-HOSP W/O CS||AM

DG1|3|I9|V30.01|SINGLE LB IN-HOSP W CS||F|||||||||1

DG1|4|I9|771.81|NB SEPTICEMIA [SEPSIS]||F|||||||||2

DG1|5|I9|770.89|RESP PROB AFTER BRTH NEC||F|||||||||3

DG1|6|FF||NEWBORN||W|||||||||1

DG1|7|FF||||W|^015|627|||||0.00

after my suppression I have the following

DG1|2|I9|V30.00|SINGLE LB IN-HOSP W/O CS||AM

DG1|3|I9|V30.01|SINGLE LB IN-HOSP W CS||F|||||||||1

DG1|4|I9|771.81|NB SEPTICEMIA [SEPSIS]||F|||||||||2

DG1|5|I9|770.89|RESP PROB AFTER BRTH NEC||F|||||||||3

Can I renumber them so they start at 1 and end at 4

Thanks

Yamil

Yamil,

In your ITERATE Action inside your IF Action that determines which segments will or won’t be built, you will need to keep your own counter (I use a temp variable like @dg1_ctr).

I usually initialize my counter at the beginning of the Xlate (COPY =0 –> @dg1_ctr).

Then at the appropriate point in the Xlate, I do a MATH ADD Action @dg1_ctr =1 –> @dg1_ctr. Then I COPY @dg1_ctr to the DG1 Set-ID field (DG-1).

That way as you construct each outbound segment you number the Set-ID appropriately.
