Hi Donna

        This is an error in Meditech that is addressed in C/S 5.5.  
Unforyunately
you cannot use the FD 9 footnote to create a tab deleimited file as the
print driver ends up stripping the tabs.

        You could ask Meditech if the DTS to resolve this issue could be moved 
back
to 5.4.  I know that they could not do it for 5.3, the release we are
currently using.

Hope this Helps
Ken

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] C/S 5.4, NPR Question, FD 9 Footnote

======================================

I am trying to create a download and I'm using the FD 9 footnote to
create a tab delimiter.

I have a computed field for middle initial, but when the value is nil, I
get weird characters and no delimiter in my download for that field. The
odd thing is I have other fields that have a nil value that work fine.

I have a LC on D to find the middle initial:

LC=IF{FULLNAME%L(FULLNAME,",")^FIRST,FIRST$L(FIRST,"
")}^/FIRSTNAME,LC=(FIRST%L(FIRST," "))#0^/MIDINIT,""

Then, my computed field is xx.mid.init
DAT=INT
LEN=1
VAL=/MIDINIT

Any suggestions? When I take the FD footnote out, it works fine, too.


Thanks,
