RE: [HAPI-devel] ADT^A13 bad parse

[Tripp, B. <Bry...@uh...>]

Hi Archie,=20

HAPI indeed won't give you what you want if the message doesn't have the
core structure that it declares in MSH-9, which is fine (and I think
unavoidable), but I agree that it should try to fail in that case.  It's
hard to tell legal local additions from a structural problem ... the =
only
way I can think to do this is to fail if the resulting message is =
missing
required segments.  If you can think of a better way please let me know.


But are you saying that a PV1 got parsed into an NK1?  That would be a =
bug
that I don't know about. =20

Thanks,=20
