DTL Condition where field = """"

#DTL #Ensemble

I have an EMR sending double quotes "" as the value. How do I write criteria to find this match in a DTL?

PV1|1|A|||||1111111111^Doctor^MR|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||20170331|""

source.{PV1:DischargeDateTime()}="""" didn't work

Hi Paul,

Quotes inside quotes need to be escaped, your condition is only looking for one double quote, you will need to try this...

source.{PV1:DischargeDateTime()}=""""""

On a side note, quotes sent in HL7 can be used to nullify a value, e.g. if a previous message had sent a discharge date and time by mistake then "" would be a request to delete that value (as apposed to an empty value).

Sean.
