 mllpclient.setOutputFilename( outputFilename, [callback])

Default Value

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getOutputFilename([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setOutputFilename([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property is used to specify a path to a file in which to store HL7 data received from the MLLP server.

Note that the class will store output data in one of the following places, choosing the first one that is valid:

• A file whose path has been set to the OutputFilename property.
• The OutputData property.

This property is not available at design time.
