I want a list of all record instances (i.e. actual records contianing a pointer) of a pointer to a given IEN, that I can then act upon progromatically. VPE just lists files that could potentially point to given file. Plus, I could not act programatically upon the list. Kevin On 11/15/05,

Here's some information from the VistA HL7 developer who wrote the new Vista HL7 software I referred to earlier... The HLO software has already been released as patch HL*1.6*126. Though it was released as a patch to the HL7 1.6 package, it is really a separate independent HL7 messaging system.

Well, you know how to identiffy the files pointing to a given file (obviously), and so you need to scan these files for records having the given pointer value. But it sounds like you're already well into coding a solution.Kevin Toppenberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I mean being able to find all

Are the ^DD(50,0,PT, nodes not a complete list of the files and fields pointing to file 50? Isn't this a fairly modest project in Mumps to $Order through these nodes and then through each of the files. Of course you need a complete list of all of the bad entries/IENs that are in file 50. Jim

You need to be a bit careful using the PT xref as it can be inaccurate. Try this: 1) Create a pointer type field in a file 2) Look at the PT xref in the target (pointed to) file for a reference to the source (pointed from) file. It should be there. 3) Change the field datatype to

Thats an interesting bug. FM should remove the PT node. Using the Check/Fix DD Structure option does clean it up if you select the file(s) previously pointed to. I wonder if the Duplicate Resolution and Merge processes could be used to advantage to address the mass correction of bad

The Check/Fix DD option does work nicely. We run this against the entire range of files to ensure things are clean. Probably not a bad idea to do this to the FOIA database. Im not aware of any untoward side effects of doing so. Repointing entries is even more complex than depicted here
