public class ADD
extends Segment

ADD - Addendum Segment.

The ADD segment is used to define the continuation of the prior segment in a continuation message.

validate

public boolean validate()
                 throws InvalidSegmentException

Validates HL7 Message objects . Validate method checks for validation each and every segments in side the Message object against specified message Structure. Validation chcecks include optionality of segment or group. It also verifies the number of times segment or group is repeated in message. e.g {PSH} while parsing PSH segment validate method will check for its mandatory presence. [PSH] in this case validate will throw exception if one tries to enter more than one PSH segment.

Specified by:

validate in interface ISegment

Overrides:

validate in class Segment

Returns:

boolean - true or false.

Throws:

InvalidSegmentException - Thrown when Segment Validation Fails.
