Extract a Value from Default Values Table in DTL

[Charles_b]

OK, so I've written a nice DTL which takes HL7 and wraps a custom XML wrapper around it for a text based interface.  One piece of the code maps a destination ID, but this may change, and rather than

create multiple versions of the DTL, I was hoping to use the Default Values table to 'lookup' the Destination ID.

Here's my code (the last 2 lines of the Code section), and the relevant global entry:

<code>
<![CDATA[ Set temp=$ZDATETIME($ZTIMESTAMP,3,1)
  Set target.header.appTs=temp
  Set DID=$G(^Ens.Config.DefaultSettingsD("QDIB.Production","destID","*","destID"))
  Set target.header.destId=$LG(DID,1)
]]>
</code>

Global: 

^Ens.Config.DefaultSettingsD("QDIB.Production","destID","*","destID")

=

$lb("LIS.SJC.UAT.MSG","")

The Global value is a List?  So, I set a local variable to hold the data then $LG to pull the 1st item in the list, but it's not working

I need to do this in DTL, as it's data not coming from within the body of the HL7 message, and I have to 

transform anyway, so a custom Business Process seems unnecessary

I don't get any error with the code, it just merrily performs the rest of the DTL and seems to ignore this section

Thanks

You should never directly access the global structure underneath a persistent class. Apart from making life difficult for yourself, InterSystems reserve the right to change the way data is stored. I suggest you look at the documentation for Ens.Config.DefaultSettings.

 

I don’t know what you are trying to do exactly, so I don’t know what you mean when you say it ignores your code
