DESCRIPTION
Data element relies on the data previously extracted in array
IBXSAVE("BOX24") from HCFA 1500 SERVICES PRINT.  Returns the array of
service from dates for each procedure being billed in IBXDATA(n).  Since
each procedure has 2 lines of data, if there is a text line present for a
procedure (IBXSAVE("BOX24",n,"TEXT") is defined), the data is returned on
the upper line and the characters 1-9 of the text are returned on the
bottom line.  If there is no text, the upper line is returned as null and
the data extracted is returned on the second line.
