The output is delivered in an email message as I understand it, so you probably have to figure out how to parse that, not Mumps code.

The hard part of Mumps is not really the language, but learning to read some of the older styles of programming in Mumps. But if you do not learn Mumps you surely will not be able to read the VistA Mumps code.
