trxid proc problem – driving me crazy

[Rich Durkee]

I wrote a trxid proc. When I run it through the Testing Tool using a data file that has HL7 messages I keep getting this error:

[0:TEST] Tcl error:

   msgId    = message0

   proc       = junk

   args       = ”

   result     = ‘wrong # args: should be “junk mh”‘

   

Here is the trxid proc:

proc junk { mh } {

         set trxId AAAAAA

         return $trxId

        }

I realize this doesn’t do much. My original proc was much bigger but I kept cutting things out, trying to get rid of the error, until I ended up with this. I couldn’t make it any smaller but still get the error, so I have turned to the experts.

I know it’s probably something small and stupid, but I just cannot see the problem.

Where do you have the proc applied.  On the inbound tab of your thread you should have the ‘Trx id determination Format:’ set to ‘Fixed Record Layout (FRL)’ then when you click edit you need to change the radio button to ‘Proc:’ then select your proc from the list.

My guess is you have the proc applied to the Inbound Data TPS stack.  Also to test a TrxId script you have to use the Route test with the proc applied to your NetConfig (as described above), not the TPS testing tool.

Here is a TrxId script I wrote a while back for reference but I think you have the coding piece correct.

proc trxid_irl_DoH { mh } {

   global env

   set debug 0

   set module “trxid_irl_DoH”

   package require utilities

   set data [msgget $mh]

   set mType [string trim [lindex [split $data “|”] 0] ” “]

   switch -exact — $mType {

       L {set trxId “doh_lab”}

       M {set trxId “doh_micro”}

       default {set trxId “unknown”}

   }

   return $trxId ;# return it

}

Thanks, Jonathan, for giving me something to try. as I finally got it working. Here’s what I had to do:

On the Inbound Tab, in the Trx id determination Format, I had to select “UPOC”, which allows you to enter the name of the trxid tcl program you write. It then started working.

Also the testing tool started working after I changed the Inbound Tab, and used the Route test rather than the TPS test.

Thanks again.

What version of Cloverleaf are you on?  Upto 5.4 there has never been an option for UPoC in the TrxID.

I think they added that option in 5.4.1. It is in 5.5 and I imagine it will be in all future releases.
