Data Transform - If OBX 5 contains text Abnormal Flag populates

To implement data transformation where OBX 5.1 contains certain text (e.g., "DETECTED") and then sets the Abnormal Flag field accordingly while handling case sensitivity:

1. Create a Custom Function: Consider creating a utility class function like SetAbnormalFlag() to check the ObservationValue (OBX 5) and set the flag based on a conditional logic. This can handle both uppercase and lowercase occurrences by normalizing the text using $ZCONVERT or equivalent functions with case-insensitive checks [1][2].

2. Setup Data Transformation Logic:

   • Use a foreach loop on all the repeating OBX segments within the message structure.
   • Within the loop, retrieve the value from OBX 5 using GetValueAt.
   • Check if this value contains "DETECTED" (you can use $FIND or $ZCONVERT for case-insensitivity).
   • If detected, set the Abnormal Flag in OBX 8 using SetValueAt[1].

3. Example Structure:

   Set segmentCount = source.GetValueAt("PIDgrpgrp(1).ORCgrp(1).OBXgrp(*)")
   For segmentIndex = 1:1:segmentCount {
       Set observationValue = source.GetValueAt("PIDgrpgrp(1).ORCgrp(1).OBXgrp("_segmentIndex_").OBX:5")
       If ($FIND($ZCONVERT(observationValue, "U"), "DETECTED")) {
           Do source.SetValueAt("ABNORMAL", "PIDgrpgrp(1).ORCgrp(1).OBXgrp("_segmentIndex_").OBX:8", "set")
       }
   }
   

This process ensures that the text comparison is conducted without being affected by its case, and the Abnormal Flag is appropriately set for each relevant OBX segment [1][2][3].

Let me know if additional assistance is needed!
