Thurman, Thanks for the info. Is |PRN| a cache' specific designator? It seems that I have read somewhere that |xxx| is expanded into something else in Fileman. I don't think I have seen this kind of printer designation in linux. Thanks for the input. Kevin --- Thurman Pedigo [EMAIL

Under Cache for Linux the print queue name can be specified in the DEVICE file $I field and nothing special is required to make printing work. However, under GT.M I think that steps similar to those you outline below are needed. You can use the PRE-OPEN EXECUTE field to set the

That's correct. The VistA device handler sets the variable IO equal to whatever you have in DEVICE file $I field unless you override or reset this value in the pre-open. Note that in M, $I means the current device. However, we are talking about the $I field in the VistA DEVICE file. Possibly

I would suggest using a namespaced local variable rather than a global variable to save a copy of the file name. If you use a global variable the subscript would need to be process-specific. Also the file name itself should include the process ID number in case two or more users invoke the

If the goal is measuring production, character count is the most equitable way to assess transcription. Line counts, though commonly used, are fraught with irregularities that make it hard to get a good production measure. We started character counts in the early 70's when IBM began (for a price)

Thurman, I think we are doing about the same thing. I say line counts, because most transcription services that we have contacted have given us a price per line. But a line is really just a set number of characters (i.e. 60 I think). It sounds like VistA is not giving this value automatically?
