Tcl help – add footer info to end of OBX segment

[April Dunbar]

For the HRM to HPF ORU interface, I need to reformat some information in the OBR segment down to the last few lines of the OBX segment, after the end of the actual report.  How do I determine what the last OBX line is in each message and add the footer in there?  

Thanks,

April Dunbar 😥

April,

If you are using an Xlate, you probably do not need to use Tcl to accomplish this.

Hi Jim,

How would I accomplish this in an xlate?  Would I create extra OBX segments and add in the footer information that I want?

April,

If you don’t care about the SetId, you can just place another OBX after the OBX Iteration. But if you do, then you need to assign the whatever Iteration Variable (%g1 or %s1) to the last OBX.1.

Quite possibly, you do not even need to worry about the next setid for the OBX segment. You might be able to just hard copy it to 99. Give it a try before you start messing with the $%s1 notation.

I agree with Michael.
