MEDSPHERE FILEMAN
All enhancements are designed to be backwards-compatible with VA FileMan.
Run ^DINIT to install. Install questions are unchanged. All new
DIALOGs are installed by ^DINIT.
Principal enhancements:
1. SCREENMAN ENHANCEMENTS:
-Mouse is now usable when running ScreenMan forms.
To use mouse with ScreenMan forms, your terminal emulator needs to
be able to receive ANSI standard control sequences to turn mouse on
and off. Set up PuTTY so that KEYBOARD is in "VT100+ mode". Once you
are in a ScreenMan FORM, click mouse at COMMAND LINE.
-ScreenMan RECORD SELECTION PAGE can now be a full ScreenMan page
using a COMPUTED MULTIPLE, so that user selects entry by scrolling up or
down.
INITIAL POSITION can be set to be USER's last selection, rather than FIRST,
LAST,
or NEW.
-Multiples within a single ScreenMan page can now be more than one line deep.
-CUSTOMIZE COLORS suboption within ScreenMan allows selection of ANSI colors
for all ScreenMan presentations, on a Parameterized basis (USER, INSTITUTION,
etc)
-Editing a ScreenMan word-processing page ends with two empty lines, so that
"F1-E" is not required to leave the page.
-"F1-P" allows printing of Screen (including all multiples).
2. INTERNATIONALIZATION:
-Many new DIALOGs handle all end-user interactions
-FILE NAMES, FIELD LABELS, SET VALUES, and
HELP MESSAGES can be entered into the ^DD schema for any of the languages
listed in File .85. To enter Spanish,
DO SPANISH^DIALOGZ
-Formatting of date output is now consistently done throughout
all the end-user routines. Changing the global node ^DD("DD") will
change the way all FileMan dates are output. Re-running ^DINIT will not
change this node.
-Upper/lowercase translations is consistently handled
3. OTHER ENHANCEMENTS:
Third "TRANSFER" sub-option allows comparing Data and data dictionaries
across namespaces (UCIs).
Sixth AUDITING sub-option shows all Data Dictionary changes since a certain
date.
FileMan output consistently obeys the value of IOSL, to allow for
terminal emulators that are deeper than 24 lines.
Word-Processing Fields are AUDITABLE and can be made UNEDITABLE.
VERIFY FIELDS Utility is improved to check cross-references better.
DIVRPTR utility routine checks pointers better.
Patch 127 (not yet released by DVA) allows developer to store explicit
max length of FREE-TEXT field, even if 'uneditable'
Patch 142 (not yet released by DVA) allows editing an Input Template so that
different
paths down to the same multiple (or relational jump) can lead to different
edit fields.
Patch 144 (not yet released by DVA) improves SEARCH logic, allows
SORT BY: -NUMBER
to get highest internal number first.
