This is my code:

{if OBSNOW("WEIGHT (KG)") > "0" then OBSNOW("EPINEPH DOSE")=(OBSNOW("WEIGHT (KG)")*.01)
if OBSNOW("EPINEPH DOSE") > "0.5" then OBSNOW("EPINEPH DOSE")="0.5" else OBSNOW("EPINEPH DOSE") endif else "" endif}

It works great as a data display however I want EPINEPH DOSE to translate to the text portion of the note but the value isn't being written to that obs term. What am I doing wrong? I know I can probably make this all work with a button but I'd rather have it just do it automatically. Possible?

To assign values to OBS, you cannot use =

Do this

.

OBSNOW(“EPINEPH DOSE”, ( OBSNOW(“WEIGHT (KG)”)*.01) )

Doesn't work.

"Error: 32783 Invalid operation or bad symbol types: obsnow"

The problem is probably with the calculation...try this...

local thisdose=""

if val(OBSNOW("WEIGHT (KG)"))>0 then

thisdose = str(val(OBSNOW("WEIGHT (KG)")) * 0.01)

OBSNOW(“EPINEPH DOSE”, thisdose )

else

""

endif

Now it says invalid symbol of VAL. I have the box set as a data display with a MEL expression. I'm assuming what you posted should be in the whiteboard?

Maybe the Data display is trying to run the calculation before OBSNOW("...") has been set to a value. ...try this...

if OK(OBSNOW("WEIGHT (KG)"))
and OBSNOW("WEIGHT (KG)")<>"" then
if val(OBSNOW("WEIGHT (KG)"))>0 then
local thisdose = str(val(OBSNOW("WEIGHT (KG)")) * 0.01)
OBSNOW(“EPINEPH DOSE”, thisdose )
else
""
endif
endif
