optional

Count the pipes to find a field, and count the empty ones too: an empty field still holds its place. Leave out the separator before PDA-2 and its value arrives as PDA-1, so the receiver stores Death Location as Death Cause Code.

This page carries the PDA field table as published and nothing beyond it. The field notes, vendor behaviour, FHIR mapping and parsing guidance that thePID page has are still to be written for PDA.
