- OPTION
- PARAMETER TYPE: LITERAL
- MAXIMUM DATA LENGTH: 10
- REQUIRED: YES
- SEQUENCE NUMBER: 1
- DESCRIPTION:

SETLST ENT,PAR,,.VAL (Uses instance 0-n)
SETWP ENT,PAR,INST,.VAL
DELPAR ENT,PAR,INST
DELLST ENT,PAR

-
- ENTITY
- PARAMETER TYPE: LITERAL
- MAXIMUM DATA LENGTH: 20
- REQUIRED: NO
- SEQUENCE NUMBER: 2
- DESCRIPTION:
An entity is a level at which you can define a parameter. The entities
LOC Location Hospital Location (44)
TEA Team Team (404.51)
CLS Class Usr Class (8930)
USR User New Person (200)
BED Room-Bed Room-Bed (405.4)
OTL Team (OE/RR) OE/RR List (101.21)
The entity may be referenced as follows:
1) The internal variable pointer (nnn;GLO(123,)
2) The external format of the variable pointer using the 3 character
allowed are stored in the Parameter Entity file (#8989.518). The list of
prefix (prefix.entryname)
3) The prefix alone to set the parameter based on current entity selected.
(prefix)
Method 3 uses the following values for the following entities:
USR Current value of DUZ
DIV Current value of DUZ(2)
SYS System (domain)
PKG Package to which the parameter belongs
allowable entities at the time this utility was released were:
Prefix Message Points to File
PKG Package Package (9.4)
SYS System Domain (4.2)
DIV Division Institution (4)
SRV Service Service/Section (49)

- PAR
- PARAMETER TYPE: LITERAL
- MAXIMUM DATA LENGTH: 30
- REQUIRED: NO
- SEQUENCE NUMBER: 3
- DESCRIPTION:
A parameter is the actual name which values are stored under. The name of
NOTE: This utility restricts the parameter name to those in the Clinical
Procedures namespace (MD*).
the parameter must be namespaced and it must be unique. Parameters can be
defined to store the typical package parameter data (e.g. the default add
order screen), but they can also be used to store GUI application screen
settings a user has selected (e.g. font or window width). When a
parameter is defined, the entities, which may set that parameter, are also
defined. The definition of parameters is stored in the PARAMETER
DEFINITION file (#8989.51).
-
- INST
- PARAMETER TYPE: LITERAL
- MAXIMUM DATA LENGTH: 30
- REQUIRED: NO
- SEQUENCE NUMBER: 4
- DESCRIPTION:
Most parameters will set instance to 1. Instances are used when more than
one value may be assigned to a given entity/parameter combination. An
example of this would be lab collection times at a division. A single
division may have multiple collection times. Each collection time would
be assigned a unique instance.
-
- VAL
- PARAMETER TYPE: LITERAL
- MAXIMUM DATA LENGTH: 80
- REQUIRED: NO
- SEQUENCE NUMBER: 5
- DESCRIPTION:
A value may be assigned to every parameter for the entities allowed in the
parameter definition. Values are stored in the PARAMETERS file (#8989.5).
VAL may be passed in external or internal format. If using internal
format for a pointer type parameter, VAL must be preceded with the grave
(`) character. If VAL is being assigned to a word processing parameter,
the text is passed in the subordinate nodes of VAL (e.g. VAL(0-n)=Text).
