Johnny,

Did you get your iterates to work? I was able to use the test file you provided. I can make some suggestions if you still need help.

[Johnny Anderson]

No.  I’ve been changing and testing many times.  I’ll take those suggestions.

[Levy Lazarre]

I believe you need to adjust the paths in the Iterates as follows because all three segments being iterated upon belong to the same basic group. Also, inside the group, you need to iterate on the OBX segments since they may repeat.

Code:

Group Iterate
=============
Type: group
Basis: 4(0).0
Variable: %g1

Process ORC and RXA like this (this is where the 4.0, 4.2, 4.3 applies):

COPY: 4(0).0(%g1).0(0).ORC

COPY: 4(0).0(%g1).2(0).RXA

Inside the group Iterate, segment Iterate is necessary for the OBX segment

Segment Iterate
=============
Type: segment
Basis: 4(0).0(%g1).3(0).0
Variable: %s1

Process the OBX segments like this:
COPY: 4(0).0(%g1).3(0).0(%s1).OBX

I hope this helps.

Levy, I made the changes and ran a test.  The attachment has the details.  Four slides:

  1. First Iterate.

  2. Second Iterate.

  3. Ip HL7 file format, Op FRL file format (Type-10 layout moved under Type-04 layout).

  4. Log with error message:

Johnny,

I think you need to remove the %g1 variable from the basis in the OBX iteration but use it while you are iterating:

Code:

Segment Iterate
=============
Type: segment
Basis: 4(0).0(0).3(0).0
Variable: %s1

Process the OBX segments like this:
COPY: 4(0).0(%g1).3(0).0(%s1).OBX

Let me know if it helped.

Johnny,

I think there was a little bit of misunderstanding. The Iterate with several digits was only intended for the OBX segments, inside the main group Iterate, not as the top level Iterate.

I don’t have access to the HL7 variant you are using, so I can’t give specific paths. If the last GROUP Iterate you used seems to be working, then keep it for sure.

The only thing I noticed is that your basis may be wrong. You are showing

Code:

4(%g1).3(0)

As such, the %g2 variable would not apply and you only get the first iteration (0).

I believe you should trim your basis to

Code:

4(%g1).3

Give it a try and see what happens.

Levy, thanks, that fixed it.  Also thanks for all your help back to day 1. The attachment is the final solution, 3 slides.
