      Returns a specific repetition of NTE (NOTES AND COMMENTS) - creates it if necessary
      Parameters:
      rep - The repetition index (0-indexed, i.e. the first repetition is at index 0)

    • getNTEReps

      public int getNTEReps()
      Returns the number of existing repetitions of NTE
    • getNTEAll

      public List<NTE> getNTEAll() throws HL7Exception

      Returns a non-modifiable List containing all current existing repetitions of NTE.

      Note that unlike getNTE(), this method will not create any reps if none are already present, so an empty list may be returned.
