Translating HL7 message to FRL with multiple record types

[Richard Horning]

All..

I have a need to translate a OMS_O05 HL7 message to a multiple record type FRL file.  The inbound OMS message has the following structure.

MSH

ORC

{

   RQD

   RQ1

}

The output FRL has the following structure

H – Header

L – Line item 1

L – Line item 2

L – Line item 3

ETC…

The output H record contains information from the MSH and ORC segments.  Each line item L record contains information from the corresponding RQD/RQ1  group.

I have set up two FRL’s for the H and L formats.  I have also set up an HRL over the two FRL’s (not sure if my repeating entries are correct).  I am able to create the translation to move the MSH/ORC to the H format, but my iterative copies from the RQD/RQ1 group to the L format only creates one L segment.  I am quite sure that the iteration in the Xlate is correct, but I’m wondering if someone might give me some insight as to why I don’t get multiple L segments when I have multiple RQD/RQ1 groups.  Thanks..

Hi,

Can you post your xlate and possibly your HRL. I do similar things quite regularly and the problem I usually have is getting my repitition variables correct i.e. %s1 etc.

Garry..

I hope the attached document contains my HRL and my Xlate.

Thanks..
