1. Do you have the test set up with an accession area in File 60? 2. Are you working with more than one institution?   My experience is that if you try to accession a test that has not been assigned correctly to the UCI that you are assigned to, then the test will not accession correctly. ---

Kevin;     In some implementations multiple spaces can cause a problem when substituted for a single space or tab.  Most of these are older implementations and you are not likely to encounter them.  Usually a single tab or space will work either place. - Original Message - From:

As I look at VistA code, I see a fair percentage of the code having the [TAB] character starting non-label lines.  So it is not always replaced.  In my code, I typically have 8 spaces instead of a [TAB] character, and that works well too. Kevin On 12/4/05, Nancy Anthracite <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrot

As best I can tell there are a number of formats that these can come out in with tabs or spaces and Cache will take them in. When I have imported files for GTM I have used ANSI and DMS both and to me the guts of the RSA file do not look the same yet they will both Import into GTM and I am sure

I have what I hope is a simple question. When entering MUMPS code, I'm in the habit of typing a before every non-label line, and that works fine. When I look at the saved routines, it appears that the tabs are replaced with a (single) space. Is this correct? Is there a more complicated rul
