Does mirth has ability to send X number of the OBX

[julia1231]

Does mirth has ability to send X number of the OBX3.1 into one OBX3.1 field without mapping each single field in the transformer? How can we display as many repeating segment as we want into a field automatically?

For example, my inbound message can have 2 OBX and can have 10 OBX

OBX|1|ST|HCT^HCT||
OBX|2|ST|PLT^PLT||
OBX|3|ST|AST^AST||

And I want to send X number of OBX into one field to outbound message.
so it will look like
OBX|1|ST|HCT^PLT^AST||

How does that work?

Thanks!

Hi Julia,

Yes, you could create a javascript transformer step to perform what you need. You could do something like the following:

while(msg['OBX'].length() > 1) {
msg['OBX'][0]['OBX.3']['OBX.3.1'] = msg['OBX'][0]['OBX.3']['OBX.3.1'] + "^" + msg['OBX'][1]['OBX.3']['OBX.3.1'].toString();
delete msg['OBX'][1];
}

Let me know if it works or not.

Thank you, Dans. I tried it and this is not the solution I am looking for.
I modified it to
while(msg['OBX'].length() > 1) {
tmp['OBX'][0]['OBX.3']['OBX.3.1']= msg['OBX'][0]['OBX.3']['OBX.3.1'] + "^" + msg['OBX'][1]['OBX.3']['OBX.3.1'].toString();
delete msg['OBX'][1];
}

and I was hoping we do not have to manually put the OBX 1st essage and 2nd message. we should be able to handle X number of the messages into a field. No matter how many OBX are.

Here is my real question:
Without using javascript, is there any way we can send X number of the OBX into a field by using the message builder?
