Problem adding ZZZ segment

[rutledj]

I have some code where I'm creating new ADT messages from an original message. All seems to work correctly except when I send the new message to another channel and try to remove the ZZZ segment, I get an error that Name() is not found on that segment.

I'm creating the segment like this:

var zzz = <ZZZ/>;
if(escoCode != '')
	zzz["ZZZ.2"] = escoCode; 

outMsg.appendChild(zzz);

The message will look like this at the end:

...
IN2|||||Payer Plan||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||CQJ845061768||(972)215-9844^^^^^972^2159844
ZIN|||||||DOE^JOHN^M^||||||
ZZZ|1|

In the next channel, I need to remove all but certain Segments. My code is this:

//Only keep MSH,PID, MRG segments
var name = '';
for(var i = msg.children().length()-1;i>0;i--)
{
	name = msg.children()[i].Name();
	if(name != "MSH" && name != "PID" && name != "MRG" && name != "ZZZ")
	{
		delete msg.children()[i];
	}
}

I get this error:

if(name != "MSH" && name != "PID" && name != "MRG" && name != "ZZZ")
169: 	{
170: 		delete msg.children()[i];
LINE NUMBER:	166
DETAILS:	TypeError: Cannot find function Name in object <ZZZ><ZZZ.1><ZZZ.1.1>1</ZZZ.1.1></ZZZ.1><ZZZ.2/></ZZZ>.

It is like ZZZ isn't a real segment so the Name() function can't be used.

What am I doing wrong here. Everything else works fine and the delete code works if there isn't a ZZZ segment.

Also tried using createSegment('ZZZ',msg) and got the same problem.

I think you may see people starting to not answer here since Nextgen privatized Mirth Connect. There are two active forks now. I am working with https://openintegrationengine.org. If you go over there, you'll see a link to join Discord. I will be answering questions over there.

I doubt that it works when you don't include the ZZZ segment. The function is name() (lowercase,) and that's why it can't find it.

Just needed another set of eyes :). What is strange is that it worked when there wasn't a ZZZ segment in the message.
