I need to include a drug's RxCUI (RxNorm) code in a report, I cannot
find the field. Anyone know where to locate it?

Thank You,

The rxcui field is a subscript of a child segment of PHA.DRUG
So a drug can have more than 1 of these codes (based on the data structure, not sure if this is true in real life).

This would build an MV array of the codes. Assuming you put the field number into FLD.

DO{@Next(PHA.DRUG.rxcui) PHA.DRUG.rxcui^/MV["D",CNT+1^CNT,FLD]}
