RE: [HAPI-devel] International Phone Numbers

Peter,

I plan to avoid this problem by using the fields at the end of the XTN data
type.

eg
PID|||MR1^^^XYZ||BEATON^KENNETH||19661121|M|||||^WPN^PH^^61^02^62016842|||S|
|ACCT1

This is the recommended usage for version 2.3 onwards.

Hi,
 
I was wondering if there was a possibility of making the exception
messages that get thrown when parsing a phone number in CommonTN.java
warning level ? Australian phone numbers don't conform to the format
specified as it is US centric. It would have been better if the
standards committee specified the international format
(+countrycode-areacode-number) but unfortunately that won't change for
HL7 2.3.1 which is what we use.
