NAME OR VBECS AVAIL UNITS FORMAT
DISPLAY TEXT Display/Print Format for Available Units
VALUE TERM Display/Print Format for Available Units
VALUE DATA TYPE set of codes
VALUE DOMAIN 0:HORIZONTAL;1:VERTICAL;2:SPLIT HORIZONTAL
VALUE HELP 0=Horizontal, 1=Vertical, 2=Split Horizontal
DESCRIPTION
This parameter determines the format that Available Units is displayed
   Report - Splits line in 2 if longer than 79 characters.
   Printed Report - Splits line in 2 if longer than 79 characters.
 
This parameter was created to address issues found when printing
the Blood Bank report in the horizontal format. The option of 
displaying/printing Available units vertically has been created.
 
As more fields are added to this portion of the report with
variable lengths, the length of the line may go beyond the 80
character limit for printing. This is not as big of an issue in
on the Blood Bank Report and the Patient Information screen on the
the Windows display. The Patient Information Screen cannot be 
printed, so no attempt has been made to split the line when it
goes beyond 79 characters. It functions the same when either
HORIZONTAL or SPLIT HORIZONTAL is selected.
 
For both HORIZONTAL display formats the length of the line 
expands or contracts depending on the column width of each field
and the length of the longest line. Because of this it is
possible, though not likely, that the line will not split even
if SPLIT HORIZONTAL is selected.
