Hi All,
Does VistA has a formal set of file/data descriptions for the globals
defined?
If so, where is the document set(s), or better the definitions in global(s)?
I remember the Sanchez/Profile products have their proper file/data
definitions
in global. I have rearranged their definitions so that a programmer can take
a
single data item and at a glance see what files (in Profile's case the
products
i.e. RRSP, Saving accounts) are involved. Similarly, look at a file and all
data
items involved. During the system conversion, the programming/QA teams
don't have to be an expert in banking business, but able to isolate each
issue
and tackle it one by one without being swamped by the 'big' picture. The DBA
will step in to have the kick here and there!
My thought on GUI'ing the registration:
If formal definitions are out there, I probably can arrange it by setting
the
global nodes to cross-referring each other, say by screen_no,
registration_type,
VA/non_VA, etc., therefore, we can essentially build some sort of decision
tables.
I should be able to tell which items should go to which screen. Based on
the entries from the previous screen, some items have to be enabled and
some disabled. Having the data requirements sort out, I can then do routine
search, global node referencing, or whatever to build the GUI screens.
To extend the idea, I can probably see if a data item (global piece) is
identified
in DG registration, MAS, ADT, or CPRS, so I can maintained the data
integrity
without missed filing any required flags, triggers, etc. Isn't this perfect,
or what ;-)?
Regards
Kin

identify the data fields used and any special logic that
could be separated from the roll-and-scoll.
The current patient registration application is rather obscurely written
and much more
complex than expected (by me at least) so it took most of the weekend
before the fields
from screens 1, 1.1, and 2 were mostly identified.
For anyone interested in viewing the source code as it is (experimental,
under
construction), the URL for the main routine is

Jim,
The pages look good. I probably will try to download M2WEB to play with the
VistA/Registration. WebLink won't be an option due to the direction taken by
IS.
VB seems to add complications to the CPRS component. Delphi, I have (to buy)
to learn to start. Lots to consider, even just to start with VistA.
