[MEDITECH-L] Group response as select lookup

[Berube, Sandra]

Hi,

Is it possible to get a F9 lookup to a Group Response for a select on
Page 2 of an NPR Report?

The only thing I could find on the Knowledge base was how to select
based on a computed field that assigns the response you want to a value
of 1, but I want the user to be able to select at run time.

Any help is always appreciated.

I wrote an NPR report for pharmacy manual dispenses. The prompt is for
disp.man.date. The only related segment I can find is
pha.rx.dispensed.manual.index. The only related index is
pha.rx.disp.manual.admin.index. In both cases, disp.man.urn is the
first field. So the report takes about 10 minutes to run. Does anyone
know of a way to make this faster?

We have Magic 5.61.

If you are only looking for current inpatients, you could start with the PHA room bed index to get to the @patient field, then go thru one of the patient indexes in PHA and over to the pha.rx.dispensed.manual.index on those urns.

Alternatively you could use the start date index to go forward thru orders from the beginning disp.man.date, since you can't dispense a med prior to the start date of the order. If they keep to a fairly recent date range, the start date index might be faster than processing the entire segment.

I though I'd share this little trick I thought up regarding the use of
the debuggers. I used to put something simple - usually numbers, e.g.
$DDC(0), $DDC(1), etc. When I had NPR reports that were big and or
called a lot of fragments, I couldn't keep track of where the DDC's
were, especially if I wasn't focused on that portion of the code any
more. Then it got difficult to find them and take them out. My solution
is to put the location, or name of the macro, or the name of the
fragment, etc. For example:

In a custom field xx.name:
VAL=@name,$DDC("xx.name")

In the footnotes section
AL START $DDC("AL START footnote")

In a fragment:
$DDC("ADM.PAT.zcus.wmk.frag.M.start")

Hope this is of use.

Good tip that will come in handy with more complex reports. A couple of
other tricks I have found useful are:

1. Put the call to the debugger in an If statement to only invoke it for
your user.
IF{@.user="IS.SRS" %Z.ddc()} This way if you are troubleshooting a
production report, it will only call the debugger for you and not other
staff. They usually freak out and think the world has come to an end when
they see the debugger pop up.

2. Put the call to the debugger in a loop. For reports that will be
looping through a detail segment hundreds or thousands of times, you can put
it an incremental loop that will only execute a few times. Then you don't
have to hit the debugger hundreds of times to get back to your report.

Hope this helps.

For #2 I usually just check a few iterations as such:

IF{/DEBUG+1^/DEBUG<4 $DDC(0)}

As it goes through lots and lots of records this will only call the debugger for the first 3 records ...

Sort of along those lines, you can turn the debugger off at some point.

At the top of your macro, have the code 1^/DEBUG

Conditionalize your DDC as such : IF{/DEBUG %Z.ddc("blah")}

If you want to turn off the debugger, enter a semi colon followed by a
Magic statement to execute (ie ;""^/DEBUG)

This would turn off the debugger and the report would continue to run
normally.

All that is gonna be sorely missed in 6.0 !

If you do this:

IF{'/DONE $DDC("HI MOM")}

When the DDC pops up for each record (for example), you can just do ;1^/DONE at the DDC prompt to set the flag and suppress the DDC for the remainder of the report run.

I also do this sometimes:

IF{@.user="IATRIC"&'/DONE&(/.PRT="S") $DDC("HI THERE")}

This way the DDC only pops up for my user ID, only if you are printing to Scope, and only if you are not "Done".

Usually at the point of the trap, I have to do ;$G("") followed by the variables I wish to see. Sometimes, a lazier approach for me to just do:
$DDC(urn) or $DDC(urn_" "_ATname) or whatever variable I always want to see, and I can dig deeper based on what I see.

Subject: [MT-L] NPR reports - tip on $DDC and $DDT locations in code

[Kern, Wayne]

In Blood Bank, in the LIS Internal Reports dictionary, there is an entry
"BTRNS" - Transfusion report. I need to create a custom report that
displays the issue locations. I can't use the BBK Specimen Header for a
custom fragment because you can issue several units from one specimen.
My understanding is that I need to write the entire report from scratch:
the patient header, the specimen header, and the issue detail. So I plan
to create a report and enter that as a "Custom Report" at the bottom of
the Internal Reports dictionary screen. I'm having trouble with the
fragment. I don't know what the DPM should be or what the linking field
on the select section should be.

Wayne, don't want to put a damper on your efforts, but I've discovered that what seems to be the data fields we most need for a custom report in the BBK module, are not available via NPR. If you look on the Meditech website, you can view the NPR DPM's and search down through BBK, probably LAB.B.SPEC is where the information you want is, if you can get to it.
