The MIS screen program runs your line as a line of code, so I am
guessing that the P(R,S,) expression has a value so the cursor stops
even though you have a nil as the second expression.
To fix this, wrap the whole thing in an "IF" so that you can be sure the
expression will evaluate to nil
Like so:
IFE=IF{P(R,S,"Given to all pts."^/[ANS%0,"NUR010561E"]|0)^#,""}
In a report an LC expression becomes the condition of an IF statement
wrapped around the line printing code, so that
LC=1^oper.seq.no, @oper.proc would be sufficient to cause a line to
print only if @oper.proc has a value
In a CDS, the screen program does a V() of the attribute so that if you
do this:
IFE=1^oper.seq.no,@oper.proc the cursor will stop at the prompt every
time because the first expression in the string evaluates to a 1
Wrapping an IF around the whole thing in the IFE changes this:
IFE=IF{1^oper.seq.no,@oper.proc}
Because the value of an IF statement is either the final expression of
the condition (if no statement) or the value of the statement
If you like to write extra code you can do something like this, but I
take points off for extra keystrokes:
IFE=IF{1^oper.seq.no,@oper.proc<space>"Y"}

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Help with a simple Default Attribute
Hey from NC- I am trying to put a simple default attribute on a query
that will not allow the user to edit it and should skip to the next
query. I have tried several which default the answer but then hangs and
also this one which still allows the user to edit it...
IFE=P(R,S,"Given to all pts."^/[ANS%0,"NUR010561E"]|0)^#,""
Any suggestions??? Thanks for any help you can give me.
