I am very new at this so I'm not sure what you mean by building the entries incrementally. Do you mean inserting the data straight into the globals? I was hoping to use UPDATE^DIE since it does all of the indexing...(at least that's what the documentation says).
Anyway, can you provide me with a starting point and maybe a short summary of what would be involved.
What I am trying to do is populate file 200 with data from our Doctor Master file. Since I work for a large university with several hospitals, we have a few thousand doctors that would need to be entered.

Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] UPDATE^DIE
There are a few files like 2 and 200 that have so much logic built into
the DD (try looking at a standard listing) that doing bulk updates like
this is all but a lost cause. You can try tracking it down, but most
likely you'll have to build your entries incrementally, following the
logic in the Registration module, or something similar.
(Editorial aside: I don't think things have to be that way, they just
are.)
