[HAPI-devel] Parse Issue: Want PID from SIU packet

[<twh...@th...>]

Hi, 

HL7 2.3
HAPI 0.4.3 

Have been HAPIly consuming and processing ADTs successfully for 6 months.  
Great package. 

Am now adding SIUs (S12, S14, etc) to the mix. 

Was suprised when a simple call to terser.get("PID-3") blew up with the 
infamous "Can't find PID as direct child" exception. 

I debug and find that the terser has childNames such as MSH, SCH, NTE and... 

SIU_S12_PIDPV1PV2OBXDG1 

What is this?  What HAPI class does it map to? 

Do I need to use the SIU_S12.... string somehow in the terser.get() call? 

 From a quick review of the messages on this list, it appears so.  What I 
haven't been able to find is a document describing this notation and the 
reason for it. 

Is there a description doc available? 

Also, why when I get a SIU^S14 packet, does the same SIU_S12... childName 
show up. 

Thanks in advance for any insight or doc,
