Repeat HL7 RGS group

[Mike Thompson]

Hi,

I am looking for help on creating a repeating RGS group based on a segment values.

My current output is as follows:

RGS

{AIS(0)

AIS(1)

AIS(2)

AIS(3)

AIG(0)

AIG(1)

AIL (0)

AIP(0)

}

I need:

RGS(0)

{

AIS(0)

AIG(0)

………}

RGS(1)

{

AIS(1)

AIG(1)

…….}

I just can’t figure out the basis for the Group and then assiging each segment to the Appropriate group!  

Any help would be greatly appreciated!  group?

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

To start with is your RGS Group defined as repeating in the variant you are using?

If so does the inbound variant also have the RGS group defined as repeating?

Yes, both defined as repeating.  Repeat is set on the group and on the RGS segement itself.  I tried changing this grouping mutiple times with no luck.

Thanks,

Mark,

It looks like the RGS segment is at the same level (group 0) and the XPM parser doesn’t “see” the second group 0.  Kinda like that problem with the A18 (?) where you have two PID segments at the same group level.

I am thinking you probably have to dummy up a repeating group with the RGS segment as the first segment with the AIS segments under it as its own group to pull this off or:

{RGS

 

{

AIS(0)

AIG(0)

………} }

Thinking that you can get the following:

First group (the “0”):

{RGS(0)

  { AIS(0)

     AIG(0)

}}

Second group (the “1”):

{RGS(1)

  { AIS(0)

     AIG(0)

}}

Hope this helps.

Mike,

When you reach your solution, please post it here.   I’m sure there are others that can benefit from your experience.

Thanks…

Yes, I was surprised to not see anything posted on Clovertech on RGS grouping already.  The way I understand the standard this should be a common requirement.  Perhaps I do not understand chapter 10 correctly?

Thanks,

😀 Happy to report with the help of Jim I have come to a solution that meets my needs!  Here are results:

Here are the results for RGS iterate:

Set temp counter : copy =0  -> $%g99

Set iterate:  segment PRE_PROCEDURE  %s1

Copy action under iterate:  use basis on all inbound, in this case I am usinga VRL segments

i.e. PROCEDURE(%s1).SEQUENCE_NO

Now the trick figure out where the basis group should go for temp counter.  Since this is a group iterate it needs to go in the very first counter:  

2(%g99).0(0).RGS(0) ,#1

So copy action goes -> (%s1) to repeat group -> (%g99)

Close iterate with the following:

Math Add 1

=1 -> $%g99

This will set the next group to repeat.  

Results below:

2(0).0(0).RGS(0)  :  >|1|1<

2(0).1(0).0(0).AIS(0)  :  >|1|1|

2(0).2(0).0(0).AIG(0)  :  >|1|1|

2(0).3(0).0(0).AIL(0)  :  >|1|1|

2(0).4(0).0(0).AIP(0)  :  >|1|1|

2(1).0(0).RGS(0)  :  >|2|2<

2(1).1(0).0(0).AIS(0)  :  >|2|2|

2(1).2(0).0(0).AIG(0)  :  >|2|2|

2(1).3(0).0(0).AIL(0)  :  >|2|2|

2(1).4(0).0(0).AIP(0)  :  >|2|2

2(2).0(0).RGS(0)  :  >|3|3<

2(2).1(0).0(0).AIS(0)  :  >|3|3|

2(2).2(0).0(0).AIG(0)  :  >|3|3|

2(2).3(0).0(0).AIL(0)  :  >|3|3|

2(2).4(0).0(0).AIP(0)  :  >|3|3|

Again many thanks to Jim Kosloskey on this one!

I know this is an older posting… but any way I could get a couple screenshots of the Cloverleaf GUI for this Xlate logic ?

[Jim Kosloskey]

Lawrence,

In case the Xlate is not posted, if you email me I will try to help you through your situation.

With Jim’s help, I was able to build a Xlate that works perfectly for our interface.
