Kevin,
As already noted, the functionality exists pretty much as you have
described it. Below is a screen capture of a similar scenario. Assume
that all Integrated Billing options associated with a menu need to be
placed out of order while an update is being performed. The following
sequence searches the Option file for the desired options and stores
them in a Sort Template called "IB MENU OPTIONS" which is then used in
the Enter/Edit function to stuff an Out of Order message in all of them.
I have truncated the example to just 5 entries for brevity. Note the
use of the 3-slash stuff at the 'Edit Which Field' prompt, the use of
'^LOOP' at Select OPTION NAME, and the open and close brackets around
the template name at the 'EDIT ENTRIES BY:" prompt. The trick is
learning when and where you can use the [template name] functionality.
Select OPTION: SEARCH FILE ENTRIES
OUTPUT FROM WHAT FILE: OPTION//
-A- SEARCH FOR OPTION FIELD: .01 NAME
-A- CONDITION: MATCHES
-A- MATCHES: 1"IB".E
-B- SEARCH FOR OPTION FIELD: TYPE
-B- CONDITION: = EQUALS
-B- EQUALS: menu
-C- SEARCH FOR OPTION FIELD:
IF: A&B NAME MATCHES 1"IB".E and TYPE EQUALS "M" (menu)
OR:
STORE RESULTS OF SEARCH IN TEMPLATE: IB MENU OPTIONS
Are you adding 'IB MENU OPTIONS' as a new SORT TEMPLATE? No// Y (Yes)
DESCRIPTION:
1>This Sort Template contains all IB options where Type = Menu.
2>
EDIT Option:
SORT BY: NAME//
START WITH NAME: FIRST//
FIRST PRINT FIELD: .01 NAME
THEN PRINT FIELD:
Heading (S/C): OPTION SEARCH//
DEVICE: IP network
OPTION SEARCH MAR 8,2005 09:52

Subject: [Hardhats-members] Does Fileman need a SETS extension?
Hey all,
One of my transcriptionists put the wrong date in for
about 60-100 progress notes. So I need to look for
each of these and replace them with the proper date.
This has gotten me to thinking about a needed Fileman
extension: Sets. Here is how I concieve of them
working:
1. Perform a search
2. Store the resulting set of records in an array (a
"SET")
3. Allow a fileman function on each record in the set,
via the ^LOOP command.
Does this functionality already exist some other way?
Thanks
Kevin
