Thanks again for the help and coding suggestions.  As it worked out for us, we don’t need the blank space so I used the method to only copy over the fields when the length is > then 0.

I like the string map idea and tried it myself.  I must not have the right syntax.  How would you code it?

I have a simple problem but not able to figure out. I have an issue where I am passing an address line to a xlate tcl. The TCL reads in each work and turns it to proper case with tupper/tolower commands. All this works fine, but some of the address fields have two blanks between the street and the second address line.  The TCL returns…Read more

    Thank you both for the help!!!  I see now how I could have used the in the xlate would have worked now.  I tried a few different versions of using that prior to the update you gave, but not successfully.  I am going to keep this reference for the next one I may need to do.
    I ended up taking the advice of doing it in a stored…Read more

   I did think of the two transactions, but what would be the field I could use?  If I can only send the full message in a bulk copy, I”m still not sure how to pull out specific fields.  Is there a way to pull fields out of the bulk copy to send?

Jay

    Agreed!  I too would have liked to use that format.  Maybe when the project pressure is off, I will have better success with the name = value syntax.  It seems to be a better way to go, especially when it comes to updates in the future…………

Thanks again,

Jay 😀  😉

   Thank you for the responses.  I have listened and attempted all the suggestions.

    I have tried removing the quotes, and I get the below syntax error:

[java:wrte:ERR /0:mt_orm_transport_update_0:07/05/2018 09:27:02] Call to “doMsg” returned error string “BADDATA caught exception trying to processMessageFromCloverleaf: Failed to…Read more

   Thanks so much for your help.  I was able to get this to work based on what you said.  
   I valued my own variable of $%s99 to 1.  I am still using the usual %s1 to loop through the OBX segments.  Once I find a value I want to copy, I just use the $%s99 variable on outbound side.  Next I increment my own custom variable by one for the…Read more

THANKS!

   Quick question, why not do this in an xlate?  Seems straight forward enough to do it there no?

Jay

   I am playing around and seems to be what we are looking for!

Jay

   Thanks!  I took your suggestions and applied to my script.  I was able to create the files from embedded PDF’s from the OBX|5 segment(s).

Jay

    Right now the Protocol Driver Control field contains the name of the file.  Part of the name is the Visit number for the patient.  For ease of viewing/searching, the idea was to pull out the Visit number and place in the User Data field.  Since I cannot do this, then we can continue to search Driver field.

Jay

    Thank you for the response.  I wanted to use this on the inbound thread of an sFTP to store the patient ID.  There is no outbound SMAT as these files are rather large (.PDF).

Jay

    Thanks for your reply.  I’m not following the MSH.Sending Facility aspect.  Do I use the regular expression search and specific the MSH 4 value? What would the format for that be?
