XPM Data Fetch Failed

[Gena Gill]

I keep getting the error:  XPM Data Fetch Failed (304) on certain messages.  On searching the Clovertech forum, I found that most of these are caused by control characters in the message, however, I don’t find that’s the case here.

I’m on version 5.6, and am sending ADT messages.  The receiving system only accepts the following segments:  MSH, EVN, PID and PV1.  I had originally used Pathcopy to copy only those segments to my translation, but I was having so many errors, that I created a variant instead, and used only these segments.  That cut my errors in half.

I found that I can stop the errors completely if I deactivate the following IF statement:

If 0(0).PV1.#17(0) eq @null

 Copy 0(0).PV1.#7(0) –> 0(0).PV1.#17(0)

If PV1 17 is null, I do need to copy PV1 7 to that field, so leaving it disabled isn’t an option.  I can’t figure out why deactivating this IF statement would stop the error message.

Does anyone have any ideas?

What is the value of PV1.7 and PV1.17 on the messages that produce the error?

In each case PV1 7 is populated and PV1 17 is as well.  So, the IF statement shouldn’t apply.

I have other messages that also have both populated and they didn’t errror.

Gena,

 Try setting your if statement to 0(0).PV1.#17(0).[0]

The if clause in the xlate can not handle multiple values for comparison.

If your data looks like 1234^lastname^firstname

If you use 0(0).PV1.#17(0) then the if would receive a list of three values.  I suggest [0] assuming all doctors have an ID, otherwise use [1] to check if the last name exists.

Hope this helps,
