[MEDITECH-L] NPR footnote help.

[Rober...@ncmc-hospital.com]

Can anyone please help me understand what the following footnote does?
I know it runs at start of NPR report and moves a temp variable to ADM,
but do not understand what it is doing and specifically what the last
part is about.

AL START @Move(c.urn,/LI),%Z.link.db({"ADM.NCY"},`O,B,1,,,1')

The @Move command is copying the data in c.urn (/c.urn) to /LI

So if you have:

c.urn[1]
c.urn[2] and you do @Move(c.urn,/LI), you get a copy of c.urn in /LI

/LI[1]
/LI[2]

Note that c.urn translates to /c.urn

The Z.link.db command is opening prefixes to the ADM database, bypassing database access checks.

The arguments show you two different ways to queue strings
{"ADM.NCY"} makes the A argument be A|0 = ADM.NCY
The `O,B,1,,,1' does the same thing as:

{"O","B","1","","","1"} or

Q("O","B","1","","","1")

So the B argument is

B|0="O"
B|1="B"
B|2="1"
B|3=""
B|4=""
B|5=1

Z.link.db is a Client server program. The queuing syntax can be used on either Magic or C/S systems.
