hl7 versions v 2.x

[shifting_18]

HI! does mirth treat HL7 v2.x alike? I'm having a hart time modifying my xml formed with v 2.3 to 2.3.1
Like this example:


<MSH.12> 2.3
</MSH.12>

-- I change it into something below to make it work --

<MSH.12>
<VID.1>2.3.1</VID.1>
</MSH.12>

It always says -version not recognized- whenever I enter a 2.3 version.. why is it so?
Does somebody know..? Thank you for any help!!!

Re:hl7 versions v 2.x

Versions 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 have different composite fields than 2.4, and 2.5. Like you mentioned, version 2.3.1+ required the version to be placed in a VID composite tag.

You can get around this by turning off the strict parser in all of the transformers.
