Splitting OBX

[Scott Frye]

I have this OBX

OBX|1|ST|6881^BP #1^CC|1|143/79||||||F|||20050420231500||111491

That I need to split to

OBX|1|ST|6881^BP #1^CC|1|143||||||F|||20050420231500||111491

OBX|2|ST|6881^BP #1^CC|1|79||||||F|||20050420231500||111491

I want to do this in an xlate if possible.  Any suggestions?

Is that the only OBX in the message? …

Will it always apear in the 1st OBX ..

you’ll need to take advantage of a’priori knowledge ..

Yes, that is the only OBX.  I’m familiar with how to create the second OBX, I’m just not sure how to split the blood pressure values.

Try this ..

PATHCOPY 0(0).OBX(0) to 0(0).OBX(0)

PATHCOPY 0(0).OBX(0) to 0(0).OBX(1)

verify that the pathcopy duplicates the OBX first .. (i.e. verify that the repeat subscripts are correct).. yours may differ .. e.g. 0(1).OBX instead of 0(0).OBX(1)

Then add ..

copy 0(0).OBX(0).#5 to 0(0).OBX(0).#5

pre xlate proc

set xlateOutVals

“/”] 0]]

copy 0(0).OBX(0).#5 to 0(0).OBX(1).#5

pre xlate proc

set xlateOutVals

“/”] 1]]

Good luck ..
