Hi Pat, 
 
If you want to move data from message A to message B, you have to copy it.
This is easiest if you use ca.uhn.hl7v2.util.DeepCopy, which copies Types.
I also just added a method for copying whole Segments (I'm surprised no one
asked for this sooner).  You can get the latest version from the CVS, or
just recycle the source for now.  Here it is: 
 
    public static void copy(Segment from, Segment to) throws HL7Exception {
        int n = from.numFields();
        for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
            Type[] reps = from.getField(i);
            for (int j = 0; j < reps.length; j++) {
                ca.uhn.hl7v2.util.DeepCopy.copy(reps[j], to.getField(i, j));
            }
        }
    }

Hi,

 

I am working with version .3 of the parser, using version 2.3.1 messages
with 'VB' encoding and I am trying to do a couple of things.  Is there a
method that I can use to pull out one whole segment from an instantiated
Message class?  What I am trying to do is execute an ADT import and if the
import of some of the required data (required for our system) fails, I want
to pull out that segment to use in rebuilding a new message.  I cannot
figure out how to do it.  Please any help would be appreciated.  

 

Thanks

Pat Stadler
