Daniel,

Welcome aboard.

No screen shot I am afraid.

Having the DG1 segment after all of the OBR segments is not standard (normally the DG1 segments exist where you see them for an ORM Message) but I am guessing the receiving system indicated this is the way they want it.

What I would do is to modify the HL/7 variant for the Receiving system such that in the Messages Tab for ORM_O01 I move the DG1 definition out from being a part of the OBR group to the appropriate place in the message structure.

Then while iterating through the OBR group, I would take the DG1 fields from the inbound (subordinate to the OBR group) and COPY them to the DG1 segment in the Outbound (at the new location) using the group counter from the OBR iteration in the segment reference position inside the DG1 address path.

I realize that all of the above might seem overwhelming to you if you have just completed Level 1 but it really is not that daunting.

If you would like to communicate off line about this, email me directly.

You should take comfort in knowing this is likely doable inside an Xlate (and using the HL/7 configurator) with no need for Tcl.

Thanks,

Jim Kosloskey

everything is clear  until the statement

“Then while iterating through the OBR group, I would take the DG1 fields from the inbound (subordinate to the OBR group) and COPY them to the DG1 segment in the Outbound (at the new location) using the group counter from the OBR iteration in the segment reference position inside the DG1 address path.”

I will email you offline
