I tried to generate a X12 document and gave that command in the billing screen.

I tried to install the freeb server and it is successful as you can see in this message.

C:\EMR\openemr-latest-from_cvs\freeb\bin>FreeB_Server.pl
before server setup

But when I run formatbin\x12.pl I got this error message.

can someone help what need to change in the include/config.php file? For instance,
the pathnames ?

Somehow without documentation of the installation procedures, Freeb installtion is definitely a mess for me.

For documentation try this:

http://www.openemr.net/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=63

However the problem you are describing seems likely to be Windows-specific. I don’t know anyone who has FreeB and OpenEMR working together under Windows; absent that, I would expect multiple issues need to be resolved, which will surely require a developer to put some significant effort into it.

I would recommend a Linux server as the best approach, both short and long term.

The fix is some path problems related to unix and windows style perl programming . I changed the paths, I came upto this which seems to be similar to the error message posted in the openemr.net.
Error is

But I couldn’t fix it though the answer is fixing the superbill.

How do I remove all entries in the super bill and start from fresh? Somehow, the CPT codes seems to be missing in the billing though I enter them along with ICD9 code.

But the good thing is : Freeb is running under windows too after almost two weeks on war footing with this …

ANy help is appreciated with the superbill. I can pass the IP address of my machine if someone can spend 5-10 minutes to fix this.

Thanks

update codes
set superbill=0;

That will reset the superbill to nothing. You could also set the fee and modifier to NULL or zero too if you’d like to remove everything.

I did that also in the Database last night. But didn’t work. I am not sure what the problem is. I am providing all the information. But still getting the same error.

I checked the manual. The manual says DOB shuold be in yyyy-mm-dd format. When I changed the patient data to this format, it somehow reverts back to mm/dd/yyyy.

However, the problem persists.

FreeB is working (but not tested with clearinghouses) after I found that the Date function is making it hang. I commented it out and it started generating files.
