results messages into seperate folders by family doc

[Rob Parnell]

What I need to do is when I receive a oru message I need to put each oru into a directory for only that family doctor.  Not sure how to go about this.

Ex

I receive an oru for doctor smith,  I need to dump this somewhere in a folders specific for dr smith, another messages comes in for dr jones I need to copy this into dr jones folder

I am running 5.3 on Aix

Can be done quite easily with a UPoC drive or with Fileset/Local and a numFile proc.  With that proc you can change directory and/or filename on the fly

Rob,

  I had to do something similiar but easier. I’ve attached the code to get you started. I only needed to change the file name but you will also need to change the directory which means you will need to update the OBDIR value as well as the OBFILE value that I have in my script.

  What I would do is create a lookup table that contains the doctor id with the directory I want to store there message. You will have to come up with a different way to name the files then I did as it looks like you want one file per message and my way would have multiple messages per day.

Hope this gives you a running start.

Good luck,

If it were me, I would insist the folder be the doctor’s name.

That way I don’t have to maintain an ever changing Table and the file is driven by the data.

Is there a way to validate that the folder is created and if not create the folder

Rob,

In Tcl there is a file command as I recall and that coomand has an option that will let you check to see if a directory exists.

Also I believe the file command will let you create direcgtories.

If you want to see an example of creating one file per outbound message look at my post of tps_fileset_outbound at URL:

OK the file command worked perfect.  

Thanks for the help
