Thank you so much!

I didn’t even notice that I could name the input and output.  I just took the defaults.

[Nora Katz]

Thanks, I’ll keep this code for future reference.

Thanks to Jim’s help, the Xlate is finally working the way I want it to.

This is what I get in the testing tool:  3 separate messages, one OBR in each message, and the OBX segments only appear in the second message.

The working Xlate is posted below, just in case anyone else was interested in the solution.

0(0).MSH(0)  :  >|^~&|||||||ORM^O01||P|2.6<

2(0).ORC(0)  :  >|NW<

3(0).0(0).0(0).OBR(0)  :  >|1|||FRPSA^Free PSA and Total PSA – 1896<

3(0).0(0).0(0).DG1(0)  :  >|1||524.62|||Arthralgia of temporomandibular joint<

Thanks again, Jim!!

Thanks, Robert, for looking into my problem, also.

[Nora Katz]

Refusing to work!

[Nora Katz]

Yes, it has been a while.  Hope all is well with you.

I think I understand what you are saying, but have not been able to configure the Xlate correctly.  This is what the Xlate looks like now.  I copied the initial iterate and pasted it after the CONTINUE and set the OBX to null, but the test tool still displays the OBXs in the third message.

Jeff,

I’ve not considered using the SMAT files to “enrich” a current message.

Is there more information on this topic?

Nora

[Nora Katz]

Thanks for the hints.

I had not thought of a single character field for after processing.

For those folks who are far from Dallas (like me), it sure is convenient if these instructional seminars are presented at the time of the annual Users’ Group meeting!  Due to the tight economy, I’m doubtful that my company would approve me for travel multiple times during the year.

Yes, sqlite would be of great interest to me!

[Nora Katz]

Thomas,

Yes, your assessment was correct!

The message looks great.

Thanks, Nora

[Nora Katz]

I wouldn’t mind joining in.  I’m getting in on Sunday.

[Nora Katz]

I meant my OBX.5 field is not repeating.  

Or is it inherently repeating?

[Nora Katz]

Is there a way to do the same thing, but my OBX segment is not repeating and there is .br between each segment.

OBX|11|TX|MGFRB^GFR (African American)|2|   .brAverage GFR for 40-49 yr: 99.brChronic kidney disease:  <60.brKidney failure:          59^WOL1||||F||NNNNN|20090706160300|C|10077|

[Nora Katz]

Jim,

Amazing, that works!

Thanks.    😀

[Nora Katz]
