Also, KB article 20200: Sites have reported that their RADRW.EXAM reports are no longer selecting records after their 5.4 updates. This has been due to using the field exam.date.ext as a select field to define a date range. RADRW DTS 111 introduces a change to how the field exam.date.ext works. Prior to the DTS, the field utilized the following attribute to calculate a date: VAL=%Z.date.in.magic(@RADRW.EXAM.exam.dates) Consequently, the date that was displayed in the field was in an internal format of YEARMODA. For example: 20040701 After the DTS, the attribute has been removed from the field and the length has increased from 8 to 10 characters. Since the attribute has been removed, the date is now stored as: 07/01/2004 To get around this change, we recommend that you use Knowledge Base Article 6603 "Writing an efficient RADRW report that selects by exam date" to allow users to select by date.

Suddenly, the report didn't work. The issue is a change that Meditech made in the encdoing of exam dates in RAD. Meditech pointed me to KB article 6603, which documented a change in the method for using exam dates in RADRW. I'm also attaching the report that I modified per that article, and per the instructions from Phillip Pham at Meditech (he's in the NPR RW area). If you want the specific info that he gave to me, I'll send it along, but between the KB article and this report, you should be able to get your RADRW report working again. Good luck!
