Hi All
We do have some strange history to deal with here that includes reals in HL7 with no units PQ. So we need the ability to have a blank unit. This is a reality and I don?t think the solution is to make that impossible unless there is a clear way forward to deal with labs that do not have units.

Which archetype did you find this on? - thomas beale Tony Fran?a wrote: Hi all. I?m working in the archetype validation alghoritm of the zilics models (more on this thread --> http://www.openehr.org/mailarchives/ref_impl_java/msg00975.html). I ran into a little problem, and I?d like to hear your thoughts. The specification for the C_QUANTITY_ITEM class states that the "units" field is valid when: units_valid: units /= Void and not units.is_empty, in other (java) words: units != null && units.size() > 0 Ocean?s Archetype editor lets you create a Quantity Item as a Qualified real, without any units. The ADL it generates for such an item is like: ELEMENT[at0005] occurrences matches {0..1} matches { -- INR value matches { C_DV_QUANTITY < property = <[openehr::380]> list = < ["1"] = < units = <""> magnitude = <|>=0.0|> precision = <|0|> > > > } } For such an archetype, validation fails because the parsed Archetype object will have a CQuantityItem object having units = [empty list] So, which one is wrong? The archetype or the validation alghorithm? Should I just avoid creating archetypes with Quantity items with no units? If so, should Archetype editor prevent the user from creating such an item?
