Step 1. Create an XPath Function Expression

Add a mapping statement that provides the current date as the date when claims are submitted. Use an XPath function to provide the date.

In the

XMap

view, add a Map statement to the Patient_Claim
XMap, nested under the Doctor to Claims
Repeating Group. To add a Map statement, in the XMap editor grid select the Doctor to Claims
Repeating Group, then right-click and select

New

Map

The Map statement is indented signifying that it is within the context of the Doctor to Claims
Repeating Group statement. The statement iterates for each doctor with a set of details in the input.

To name the Map statement, double-click the Name
field and type the name ProcessingDate
.

To define the Output
field in the ProcessingDate
statement, drag the mouse from the Date
output schema node to the Output
field.

The following image shows the mapping statement grid with the Date
element in the Output
field of the ProcessingDate
statement:

"The mapping statement grid contains the ProcessingDate statement that you created. When you create a mapping statement, if the mapping statement is missing input or output information, the name of the statement is displayed in red and a red check box to the left of the name indicates that information is missing."

The ProcessingDate
statement name is highlighted in red because the statement is missing an input expression.

To assign the current date as the input to the statement, use the XPath Expression editor to create an XPath expression in the Input
field of the statement. To open the XPath Expression editor, click the arrow to the right of the Input
field.

In the following image, on the left the XPath Expression editor displays the schema and function tabs, and on the right the Expressions
pane:

"The XPath Expression editor has three tabs, an XPath tab, and Input Schema tab, and an Output schema tab. Use the XPath tab to access all the XPath functions that you can add to an XPath expression. Use the Input Schema tab to add input nodes to an expression. Use the Output Schema tab to add output nodes to an expression."

Use tabs on the left to choose XPath functions, input schema nodes, or output schema nodes. Drag functions or nodes from the tabs into the Expression
pane on the right, or type an expression directly into the pane.

To select a function, open the XPath
tab and select

Functions

All Functions
