FYI...

 

On our EDM Scripts report and our Med Reconcile reports written in the DPM of RXM.RX, we had issues after converting last week from 5.64 to 5.66.

 

In 5.64 I wrote the Med Rec reports with this VAL statement and they worked fine for a year:

 

xx.dosage.sig

DAT=FREE

LEN=40

JFY=L

VAL=@dose_" "_@units_" "_
VAL=@route's.name_" "mailto:_IF%7...@MIS.DIR.description[@sig];
VAL=@MIS.DIR.description[@sig.disp];@sig.out},
mailto:VAL=IF%7...@sig.prn "AS NEEDED"}

 

5.64

 

DPM.element   RXM.RX.sig.out

Physical
Data Type  FREE                             Length    24               Local
Segment    rxm.rx.additional.info.3         Pointer

Attributes

VAL=@sig_" "mailto:_IF%7...@sig.prn "PRN"}

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now in 5.66 this same field has thes attributes in this standard RXM.RX field:

 

DPM.element   RXM.RX.sig.out

Physical
Data Type  FREE                             Length    24
Segment    rxm.rx.additional.info.3         Pointer

Attributes
 VAL=@sig_" "_IF{"Y"=@sig.prn "PRN"}

 

 

So, here is the new VAL statement I am using in 5.66 LIVE:

 

VAL=@dose_" "_@units_" "_
VAL=@route's.name_" "mailto:_IF%7...@MIS.DIR.description[@sig];
VAL=@MIS.DIR.description[@sig.disp];@sig.out},
mailto:VAL=IF%7...@sig.prn=%20%22Y" "AS NEEDED"}

 

 

What was happening to our reports was when they used the sig of DAILY for example,

 

This printed out as DAILY AS NEEDED for non-prn sigs...
