Data Flux??? Data Step program?? <BR /> <BR /> At any rate, you might search the forums, there have been previous postings about HL7 data. It depends on whether you have XML tags or just data that looks like what's contained in this previous posting (this is the previous post that I remembered):<BR /> <A href="http://support.sas.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=15762㶒" target="_blank">http://support.sas.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=15762㶒</A><BR /> <BR /> If your HL7 data is in XML format, then you might be able to use the XML Libname Engine to read the data. It really depends on what the data looks like.<BR /> <BR /> cynthia Wed, 10 Nov 2010 15:17:49 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Health-and-Life-Sciences/Any-experience-reading-HL7-data-with-SAS/m-p/31145#M1149 Cynthia_sas 2010-11-10T15:17:49Z
