Thanks Steve.  A few comments further to this ... 1) the method is
Group.addNonStandardSegment(), 2) this doesn't help for incoming =
messages,
however HAPI will automatically parse unexpected segments in incoming
messages into instances of GenericSegment, 3) you can use the code for =
the
standard messages as an example for writing a custom message class; see =
the
ca.uhn.hl7v2.parser.Parser javadocs for instructions on registering your
custom message classes with HAPI.=20

Alfredo,

In HL7, segment types beginning with "Z" are reserved for custom
segments, outside the spec.  I believe you need to add a non-standard
segment to your message or group (I think there's a method
specifically for this).

There are a couple other options, as well.  If you're message is
pretty "flat" (no repeating groups), you can probably use the Terser
class to add your Z-segments.

You can also define your own message type, complete with groups, if
you have several of these segments, include repeating groups, or want
some kind of enforcement of required Z-segments.
