Hi Ginger,
One of the problems with multiples on a download is that we can never
know how many lines are going to be found. For example there could be
three or four or more lines of dose instruction or perhaps there only
will be one line (or none). Depending on where you want to send these
data you could take a number of approaches.
1. Not use the FD footnote but manually place Field Delimiters. Place
the multiple on the report picture but use the NL=NO attribute on the
first line of the multiple so that the multiple appears on the same line
(in the same record). You may need to use the NL=NO on the second line
too if you have further fields in the record.
2. Hard code the number of fields you download so that the accepting
application is not surprised by a variable number of fields. To achieve
this in a macro you would
a. Clear the file (for example /DOSE.INSTRUCTION)
b. Loop through the dose instructions placing them in
/DOSE.INSTRUCTION file numbered sequentially.
c. Display those fields on the report
3. Place multiple comments into one field. To achieve this in a macro
you would loop through the dose instructions and place them into a
variable such as /DOSE.INSTRUCTION and be careful not to overflow the
variable.
Within MEDITECH there are always multiple ways of doing something so
hopefully you will get other ideas too.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] MULTIPLE on Download
Is there a way to get a multiple to show up correctly on a download? I
have a report written out of PHA.RX that is a comma delimited download.
The user would also like to have the dose instruction and label comment
to display on the download. Since these are multiple type fields I'm
not really sure of how to do that.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks!
