Jim, Did you get this to work? I’m faced with the same problem and so far I can not get it to work. I would appreciate any help you are willing to share.  Thanks

Here’s what I ended up doing with a lot of help from Clovertecher Jim K. The vendor would take one oru message with multiple OBR/OBXs but the OBX had to follow each of the OBRs. Therefore I did not need to use the suppress, continue to create multiple messages. See attached document for the xlate….

OK I must be a DUH!!!! First off I don’t get what the %g99 math function is doing. Is the %g99 supposed to be a variable that I’m using as a counter? If so what am I suppose to do with the variable in the xlate.

I’ve added the SUPPRESS to the beginning of the xlate and I have tried moving the CONTINUE in the interate and outside the iterate and just about everywhere in the message, but I do not get 2 clean messages. I can get to the point of 2 messages, but the first one does not have the OBX/NTE group.

This is how the message is sent to the Xlate

MSH

PID

PV1

ORC

OBR

ORC

OBR

OBX

NTE

What I need to get to is either 2 separate messages with the OBR, OBX, NTE in each or

MSH

PID

PV1

ORC

OBR

OBX

NTE

ORC

OBR

OBX

NTE

Again Thanks, Donna

Hi Jim, I am using an Xlate with Pathcopy. I have never used a counter in Xlates or had to use the suppress/continue. I will need more detail. I have also learned that they can accept the one message with multiple OBR but copy the OBX for each of the OBRs. I have been playing with moving the supress/continue around in the Xlate but have not succeeded in getting the 2 separate messages yet. Thanks for any help, Donna
