#DTL

Hello All

I'm not sure what the best practice is for this. I have a DTL for returning ORUs back to a hospital in a different time zone. They have requested that various timestamps have the time zone offset added to the HL7 format (%q%k, I think). First, I just wanted to be sure the system was aware it was DST. I was able to determine if DST is in effect like this:

What would be the preferred method to create an HL7 message from an input that is not HL7?

Would it be better to take the non-HL7 input and construct an HL7 message in the business service that then gets passed off to a routing process, or would it be best to just pass the non HL7 message to a routing process that called a data transformation to create the HL7 message?

My thought is the later, due to the fact that updates to the creation of the HL7 message are done using the graphical DTL editor rather than editing COS in the service.

The phone number field for the PID segment was customized to send email address in PID 13.4. How can I remove the email address to map only the phone number to the PID 13.1 field?

PID|1||098456||PRINCESS^TUMBELINA^^^^||19011201|F||W|4382 POTATO DRIVE^^SUGARLAND^TX^74845^^^^980||7839854885^^^LILKIM5@OUTLOOK.COM|||S|NON|||||||||||||N|

Hello, In the DTL, is there a way to set a value for the HL7 data element in the code section? For example, set target.SetValueAt("PID:3(k1).1)") = mrn (mrn is the value returned from the SQL query) When I ran the test utility, I got this error message. ERROR ErrException: zTransform+27^testclass.TEST.1 *SetValueAt,EnsLib.HL7.Message -- logged as '-' number - @' set target.SetValueAt("PID:3(k1).1)") = mrn' I tried both target.SetValueAt("PID:3(k1).1)") and target.GetValueAt("PID:3(k1).1)"). That didn’t make a difference. The code still error out.

I'm required to do a transformation around patient physical addresses. If (for whatever reason) a patient has multiple addresses, I want to move the home address to the first iteration of PID:11 and remove all other iterations. I've accomplished the first bit using DTL, but for patients who have multiple addresses they are left with empty trailing iterations. Here is an example I mocked up:

How can I remove those trailing iterations?

I have a standard text file that is coming out of a system new line delimited. Each document will have the same field structure each time.

So, I think this can be done but cannot remember how.

Inbound message goes:

MSH

PID

PV1

ZIF

OBX

We want outgoing message to be

MSH

PID

PV1

OBX

ZIF

Do I need to create a new schema to make that happen?

Thanks,

I just need to know if I can test a Virtual Document to a flat file transformation using the Test facility in the Tools tab of the Data Transformation Builder.

There is an example in Ensemble(ENSDEMO namespace), but that is for a Virtual Document to Virtual Document. I need to know the syntax in the Input box.

Would this replace a carriage return linefeed with a spacein a DTL? $REPLACE(string,"\X0D0A\",$CHAR(32))

I want to set the value in the second field of OBX-5, or OBX-5-2. My schema is not broken down to that granular level, so I can't just click OBX-5-2 to populate it. I tried a few variations without success.

target.{PIDgrpgrp().ORCgrp().OBXgrp(1).OBX:ObservationValue(1).2}

target.{PIDgrpgrp().ORCgrp().OBXgrp(1).OBX:ObservationValue(1)(2)}

target.{PIDgrpgrp().ORCgrp().OBXgrp(1).OBX:ObservationValue(1.2)}

Any ideas?

Hello.

I have a delimited flat file that I need to read and then generate an HL7 A08 message from the fields in the file. I used the Management Portal's Record Mapper to generate the Map.Record class, then used drag & drop to map fields in the delimited flat-file to an A08 message.

But when I try testing this in the test tool, I'm getting an ERROR #6254: Tag expected . XML input. ... is not in proper format as child of Record (ending at line 2 character 11).

Hi,

I have a PV1 repeating field that can contain multiple or a single value. I'd like to always pull the last value in the field but am not sure how to configure this in my DTL.

The repeating field is in PV1:50().1

Could somebody shed some light on this?

Examples:

|15081942~15081951~15108961~15280550|

|15081947|

|15081939~15081940|

Thanks

Hello community,

I want to iterate through a defined collection/list of numbers for example 1,3,4,5 in my DTL.

Something like

Hello Community,

I need advice converting a comma delimited string container with multiple records into some type of recordmap that iterates through all the records.

My string container has several records and I would like to loop through the number of records in the string container and transform each record in the container individually. Number of records will vary but the number of fields per record is static (28 fields). Meaning after every 28 fields, a new record begins. The goal is to convert to individual delimited flat file records.
