The first thing you need to do is create a global string variable and ensure it is initialized to be empty each time a new HL7 message comes in.

To get started:

• Click Chameleon > Global Inbound Script. The Editing Script window appears.
• In the Editing Script window, type the following:

CompleteResult = ""

• In the Workspace, double-click the OBX segment. The OBX Segment Definition window appears.
• Locate Field 5 - Observation Value, and click the Inbound Script ellipsis button. The Editing Script window appears.
• In the Editing Script window, type the following:

CompleteResult = CompleteResult + "\r\n" + value

This code ensures that the global string is populated with the data found in field 5 of the OBX segment. Every time field 5 of the OBX segment is encountered, its value will be concatenated with the existing value of CompleteResult (preceded by a carriage return and line feed character).

The next step is to create a new field for the ResultInformation table, called Result, and assign it the value you built up in the CompleteResult Python variable.

• Double-click the ResultInformation table in the Workspace, and add a new column called Result.
• Click the Inbound Script ellipsis button for the new Result column. The Editing Script window appears.
• In the Editing Script window, type the following:

value = CompleteResult
