Re: [Hardhats-members] How to obtain a write access of "^" ?

[Greg Kreis]

Has this been changed?  It used to be that you could set DUZ(0)="^" and it would permit the edit.  As mentioned here, it was a want to 'write protect' a field so that only a trigger could enter the data (a trigger asks if you want to write protect a field). Holloway, Thomas (EDS) wrote: The use of "^" as a lock is a neat programmer trick to enforce security on a field. It can't be stored in #200 because it will alter the number of pieces in the node (since it is the delimiter, as Kevin noted). It can't even be entered as a lock character through the normal FM field edit functions because it is the "abort" character when entered at a prompt. And even if you set it into your own DUZ(0), FileMan doesn't honor it. The only way to create it is for a programmer to Set it. Of course a programmer could Kill it or change it but that might have unintended consequences. I suspect that there is a considerable amount of processing associated with entering a provider that is hard coded into the routines and a decision was made that it should not be bypassed no matter what the security level of the user. If that is the case, altering ^DD(2,.104,9) would let you use the field through FM but might cause data integrity issues down the road. It would be nice if the Input Transform, the Triggers and all of the other cross references in the DD covered every business rule associated with a field but that is not the case. Some of the rules are so complex and so dependant on the data entry situation that whole sets of routines are required to carry out the appropriate data updates and linkages. tjh -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Chris Richardson Sent: Monday, February 14, 2005 2:34 AM To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] How to obtain a write access of "^" ? Stephen; Then that sounds like the loading of this field is programatic (data loaded at the time of the action being recorded) and doesn't use Fileman to Fill the field. That would keep most users (except for programmers) from changing the data. Interesting business rule. I see the value of it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "steven mcphelan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2005 7:50 PM Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] How to obtain a write access of "^" ?

Maybe it is because you don't have a patient who has been admitted! Note that it says inpatient below.

In other words, you should not have any difficulty doing anything in any file. Are you having difficulty or are you just anticipating having difficult, in which case go ahead and try it first. You should not even have to change DUZ(0).

Off the top of my head, I'm not sure if Fileman will complain if you set DUZ(0) programmatically to "^" before attempting an update, but I believe this will work. --- Kevin Toppenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello all, I want to edit fields .104 (PROVIDER) and .1041 (ATTENDING PHYSICIAN) in file 2 (PATIENT file). I have a fileman code of "@" In the data dictionary, these two fields have a code of ^ required. I assume this means that my DUZ(0) must contain a ^. This is normally loaded (I believe) from field 3 FILE MANAGER ACCESS CODE in file 200 (NEW PERSON file). This is stored in piece 4 of node 0. But how would a ^ character be stored, when the ^ character is used as the pieces divider? Perhaps I am coming at this the wrong way. All I want it do is have the attending physician be properly displayed in CPRS for a given physician. Thanks Kevin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
