I beg to differ.

I don't believe so. There is no need for the .01 field to be
overwritten. If the value used for the .01 is accepted by the input
transform, that value is also used to create the IEN.
In fact, it's just the opposite. As long as you have the "E" in the
first parameter in your UPDATE^DIE (your call does), the value that
comes out the input transform will be the new record's IEN. If you
seed the IEN array before the call (to try to specify the new
record's IEN), it's ignored. For example, if you set:
TMGFDA(50.67,"+1,",.01)=9999
TMGIEN(1)=600
when you make that call (successfully), TNGIEN(1) will come back as
9999.
Yes, except that I'm not sure that DINUM applies to DBS calls. An
input
transform works by setting X to the value that should be used (or
killing it to reject the value entirely). However, you need to be
careful and not supply input as an internal value, because then the
input transform will not be applied.
I've been kind of busy (working on a Java project) so I haven't had
time to check the documentation for a more elegant solution, but you
can also use a a "dummy" value and then make a second call to set
it to
the IEN. But you shouldn't need to do that,
