Undefined in OBX Segment

[bobbie]

I finally got my OUTbound to create multiple OBX segments.

Lets say that my result set will return 5 rows of OBX data.
If my HL7 message templet does not have 5 rows of OBX in it it will give me the Cannot set property OBX.1 of undefined to 6.

So I have to go into my templet and add another OBX row and it works.

I am not going to know how many rows are going to be generated.

Is there a way around this or is this a bug?

Perhaps this could help you:

Re: Undefined in OBX Segment

This will give you an OBX element to work with:

var obx = tmp['ORU_R01.RESPONSE']['ORU_R01.ORDER_OBSERVATION']['ORU_R01.OBSERVATION'][0]

Now for each OBX.5 you read from the db, you would do:

tmp['ORU_R01.RESPONSE']['ORU_R01.ORDER_OBSERVATION']['ORU_R01.OBSERVATION'][OBRi] = obx;

This would come before actually setting the db values. This sets the specific OBRi field to the previous OBX element (essentially creating a new OBX element).

Chris,

Thanks for that info it helped a lot.
And that did solve the error.

What I need now is multiple OBR's with Multiple OBX's.
OBR|1|
OBX|1|
OBX|2|
OBR|2|
OBX|1|
OBX|2|

I have tried different variations of what you posted but can not seem to get it.

Re: Undefined in OBX Segment

Do the same thing as my previous message - store the OBR value in a var and then store the OBX value in a var. Iterate through the data. Sorry, my description probably isn't too helpful!

Chris....

I must be the biggest idiot because I am not able to get it to produce multiple OBR's with multiple OBX's.

Do you have some sort of example that might help?
