xlate issue

[Andrew Deters]

This is my attempt at an xlate to split P03’s into multiple messages for each FT1 segment.  I think sometimes you just have to step away from a problem to figure out what is wrong…..can anyone help figure out why the string MR wouldn’t populate the right way.  Everything else seems to be working.  Please see the attachment.

When you say it “wouldn’t populate the right way”, what exactly do you mean?   Please post examples of your output so far.

Thanks….

I have a test message with 2 FT1 segments.  I want the xlate to send a message for each FT1 segment.  The more i look at the test results, i have bigger problems than not getting MR in that part of the message.  When i run this through the testing tool, i get 2 messages.  The first message has the first FT1 segment.  The second message in the testing tool is the orignal message with both FT1 segments.  It looks like the test message is getting sent in it’s entirety after the first FT1 segment is sent with both FT1 segments.

The PID segment field 3 comes out with

|001234567^^^PMaCnk|  

What i want to see is

|001234567^^^PMaCnk^MR|

Your first problem, FT1 segments in resulting message is easy. Change PATHCOPY statment to:

Code:

PATCHCOPY 0(0).FT1(%s1)->0(0).FT1(0)

I would check the outbound HL7 format to see if PID.3 has the right format.  You may need to modify something there.

Hope this helps,

taking the %s1 out of the FT1 destination worked.  

I’ll take a look at the format.

Here is the original message.

and here is the output of the testing tool…

0(0).MSH(0).00001(0).[0].[0]

yeah it was the length of that part of the PID segment.  I extended it and it works now.

Thanks.
