Question

I was writing HL7 Acknowledgement mechanism on my own.

From the online documentation I followed, they state that a Hl7 acknowledgement message has following segments

MSH
MSA
ERR [ optional ]

And I am wondering - if there are multiple errors exists in HL7 file, can I put multiple ERR segments to describe each error? Is there any standard for this?

No correct solution

OTHER TIPS

It depends.

As of HL7 v2.5, you would put each error into its own ERR segment, populating field ERR-2-x (cf. ch 2.15.5 of the standard) Before 2.5 you would have a single ERR segment and describe each error into its own repetition of the (repeatable) field ERR-1.
