[HAPI-devel] HL7 v2.3 PV1 segment repetition problem

[Evan S. <ev...@in...>]

I am wondering if you could provide me with some assistance with a =
problem I am having with your HAPI api.  In working with your HAPI HL7 =
api to parse some messages, I encountered a parsing problem with the PV1 =
segment of an HL7 v2.3 message which contained repeating values (two XCN =
values seperated by a ~) in the PV1.7 and PV1.17 segments.  In looking =
at the HL7 2.3 standard documentation I see some mention of these fields =
allowing for repetitions, although it seems to be a bit of a grey area =
as I have found some contradicting information as well. =20

I am currently using version 3 of your HAPI api. In looking at the =
source for the PV1 segment for HL7 v2.3 it looks to be coded to not =
allow repetitions for these segments, although in the 2.3.1 code (and =
2.4) it does allow for them.  In the latest version (4.3) of your HAPI =
API this is still the case.

I am unsure whether this is a bug, or whether the HL7 v2.3 should in =
fact not allow for repetitions in these fields.

If you could provide me with some assistance/clarification on this, it =
would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
