======================================
I have never been able to get Carolyn's suggestion to work. The reason
is the way Meditech checks a field.
In the example of: IFE=[ANS,"QUERY1"]|0=""
Meditech compares the [ANS,"QUERY1"]|0 to "" to see if they are equal.
If they are, the value of [ANS,"QUERY1"]|0 is placed in the value of
IFE. If IFE equals nil (""), the cursor does not stop.
In the above example, if [ANS,"QUERY1"]|0 is nil (no answer) than it
does equal "", so IFE is true, BUT... Meditech places the value of
[ANS,"QUERY1"]|0 into IFE, so it is now nil again, and the cursor
doesn't stop.
One way of getting around this is to check the length of the response.
The length of (no response) is 0 (zero). So, this works:
IFE=L([ANS,"NUNS03502"]|0)=0
REQI=L([ANS,"NUNS03502"]|0)=0
How?
If there isn't a response to NUNS03502, than the length is 0. 0 = 0, so
Meditech puts the value of L([ANS,"NUNS03502"]|0) into IFE (and REQI).
0 is a value greater than nil, so the cursor will stop at that field.

Hi Suzannah, this works for me. We're Magic 5.4:
(attach to Query#2)
IFE=[ANS,"QUERY1"]|0=""
REQI=[ANS,"QUERY1"]|0=""
We prefer to use REQI instead of REQ so the user knows they have to
answer before going on instead of getting all the way to the end and
trying to file and THEN find out. I hope this helps, Carolyn

Hello All-
I need some attribute help for a CDS screen. I need to have the second
query skipped if there is an answer in the first query and required if
there is NOT an answer in the first query. Any help you can provide is
greatly appreciated.
