I would only use the FCL if your staff will NEVER use the Edit function
from within View History, and will NEVER document the CDS from the
ASSESSMENT SCREEN and will NEVER have recall set for the intervention.

Why?  Because if the query has already been answered, and the response
defaults in, the FCL statement will not be invoked, so the response will
not be put into the temporary variable to be calculated.

The best, and most foolproof method is to call a macro on entry to the
CDS to populate all of the temporary variables, and then call that macro
again from every query that could affect the score.  This way, the score
is recalculated from scratch with each entry, so it can't miss any
values.

Jeanne,

I would suggest using FCL attributes on each Y/N query to send the
desired value to a variable.  Then use either an IFE or DFT attribute
(depending on whether you want to allow them to edit) to add these
variables together.  You have several choices of how to accomplish this
but you need to consider how important it is that these totals update
appropriately if the user goes back and changes answers.  This can
become somewhat complex... but can be done!

Here is an example of an FCL attribute that would set a value of 4 if
the response is "Y":

[EMAIL PROTECTED]"Y" 4^VAR1}

To use a DFT to total:

DFT=(0+VAR1+VAR2+VAR3)

Let me know if you need more help,
Kenny Whiteside

I am again needing help with an attribute.  I have been asked to total 7
yes/no queries that have different values assigned to them and then to
take this total and add it to another answer from a group response that
also gives a value.  The queries that I have are:  NURFRSK505 (value of
4),  NURFRSK055 (value of 2), NURFRSK060 (value of 1), NURFRSK065 (value
of 1), NURFRSKK070 (value of 1) , NURFRSK075 (value of 2), and
NURFRSK080 (value of 1).  The query NURFRSK085 is the score.

And then I need to take this score and add it to NURFRSK100 to get a
total score on the query NURFRSK105.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.   Thank you.
