Alan,
There is field @act.term.entered which you can reference...
Copy your output to have 2 formats.
1 to print to PAT
with an xx.print computed field as a selection EQ to "1"
Define xx.print as
DAT=FREE
LEN=1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]"MYCOWMNEMONC.1" 1;0}
(If all of your cows are named similarly, you can do some string
extractions or just add them in a list...)
Then for you're HERE copy do the exact same thing, except make the
selection xx.print EQ "0"
Hope it helps!
Thanks,
Brian

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] NUR.PC.WORK.zcus.prt... printing problems

======================================
We're Magic 5.5 and need some help with NUR.PC.WORK reports, more
specifically where the output goes.
On page 2 of the intervention dictionary, one can select from a set of
4 choices:
* a valid printer
* HERE (for the user's location)
* PAT (for the patient's location)
* PATP (for the patient's permanent location)
We can't find one that makes everyone happy -
* a valid printer: these interventions get performed all over the
place, so we don't want to go chasing after a piece of paper in a
distant location.
* HERE (for the user's location): this won't work for our COWS, as
they don't know where "HERE" is. Our COWS are set up generically, so
they can be used in any location. They get turned over (sometimes
literally) often, switched from floor to floor, borrowed by other
departments, etc., so they don't have a default printer set.
* PAT (for the patient's location): many of our outpatients don't
even have real locations, so nothing prints at all with this option.
* PATP (for the patient's permanent location): see "a valid printer"
above.
We tried to insert code into a start macro for the report that would
"hijack" the output to another printer based on the user's location. It
works OK with a regular report run manually, but not with intervention
reports (NUR.PC.WORK.zcus.prt...). Evidently the intervention process
closes down the hijack attempt before it can process and reverts back to
the output specified in the dictionary.
For now, we have set up dual output to "PAT" and also "a valid
printer". The COW pokes get their output via PAT, and the DaySurgery
folks get theirs (and everyone else's) on their local printer. There
must be a better way.... We'd appreciate any L-workarounds or
L-insights.
TIA,
