REMOTE ORDER/ENTRY SYSTEM (147)    PACKAGE (9.4)

This patch changes ^RMPFET10 so that RMPFSTAP is only set if not defined.

This patch adds a .E to a patern match used in the server option that
reads in file updates.

This patch gets the patient sensitivity information and sends it with the
ROES order.

PROBLEM WITH REMOVING AN ORDER FROM A TRANSMISSION BATCH AND RE-APPROVING

This patch fixes problems with screen displays and printouts.

This patch addresses three issues.
API's will be incorporated into the routines. These changes will fix the
errors some sites reported when resequencing the Postmaster's inbox.
3.  Finally, the print request is ignored when a user enters a lowercase
"p" when queueing the "List Orders by Patient or Status" Report.  This has
been fixed so the user may use either case.
 
ROES V2.0 patches 1,2,7,8 and 15 are required to be installed prior to
this patch.  Since RMPF*2.0*1 was not a KIDS Build, KIDS will not look for
it during the installation process.
1.  When a facility name is changed in the Institution File (^DIC(4)),
ROES users have a problem bringing up their existing ROES orders because
ROES uses the facility name as an identifier.  This patch will change the
facility lookup routines to look at the facility number instead of the
name.  This becomes a major issue with the release of the Institution Gold
File which will standardize facility names across the VA.
2.  Secondly, this patch will fix some MailMan message addressing
problems. Sections of obsolete code will be removed and some new MailMan

This patch addresses 2 issues regarding the ROES 2.0 package:
        o  The ability to print the report has been added for partial
           screen displays.
 
        o  The error occurring when print to a slave printer has been
           corrected.  This was a problem in the code not returning back
           to the proper line tag.
 
2.  Enhancements for Bundled Pricing
 
        o  2nd year warrenty is the only extra component available on new
 
           Custom Hearing Aid Orders.  This patch will add a new field,
           "AVAILABLE W/BUNDLED PRICING", to the 791811.2 file.  This
           field will be the 4th piece of the zero node.  This patch
           will set this field for 2nd year warranty to "yes", and all
           other extra components will be set to "no", or left blank.
 
        o  This patch will add the field "AVAIL WITH EXTRA COMP ORDER"
           field in 791811.2 file.  This field will be the 5th piece
           of the zero node.  The only extra component that is not
           available after the initial Custom Hearing Aid Purchase is
1.  DAY-0201-40031 <ENDOFILE>READ+1^RMPFDE Error
           the 2nd year warranty.  This field for the 2nd year warranty
           will be set to 1, for "NO".
 
        o  The Product file, and Component file will be updated with the
           new contract items.
 
        o  The end of file error has been corrected.  This was happening
           because of the extra print that was printing on the bottom of
           the report.  This should have been printing on the screen.
           This text has been removed from the report.
 

This patch will fix a looping error with was transmitted with patch
RMPF*2*17.  When processing elgibility determinations, if the use would
select an order and process, they are returned to the eligibility screen
and stuck in a loop.  This has been corrected, a kill was added at the
start of the routine.

This patch is for the addition of a new vendor for the Remote Order
Entry Contract that went into place on July 1st.  It will add new
entries into the REMOTE INVENTORY PRODUCT (791811) and to the HEARING
AID COMPONENTS (791811.2) files.  This contract addition starts on
September 1st, 2001.  This patch must be installed between COB August
31st, 2001 and the morning of September 2nd, 2001.

This patch is for the inactivation of Custom Hearing Aids that are
under the old contract.  It will inactivate them, and remove all the
components.  It will also disable the ability to do adjustments on
previous CHA orders under the old contract.

This patch includes the new hearing aid contract items that can be ordered
through ROES.  The new contract period begins 2-1-98.

This patch ensures all dates are Y2K compliant and corrects formatting of
reports and displays for Y2K compliant dates.

PATCH TO FIX A PROBLEM WITH THE DISPLAY A BATCH OPTION

This patch fixes a typo that makes required fields mandatory and changes
the order code in the Component File to be a required field.

This patch addresses several issues that have come up at VAMC stations
  calculated ROES eligibility of SC or COM.
1. RMPFDE2 - This routine was modified to allow Prosthetics and
   Sensory Aids Service(PSAS) users to exit the 'Display ROES 3
   Eligibility Requests[RMPFDE2]' option by entering '^' as well as the
   <Q>uit. The print of the eligibility request list to a slave printer
   was not working and has now been fixed.
 
2. RMPFDE3 - 'Eligibility' was added to the VistA message text.
   Catastrophically disabled veterans in Priority Group 4 have
   been added to the selectable eligibilities.
 
- The "Date of Death" was not being transmitted consistently.
3. RMPFRPC0 - In the original release priority groups 1 and 2 were
   omitted from the message transmission because the priority group
   was not obtained before the determination of SC or COM eligibility.
   This oversight has been corrected.  Also, in the pop-up message
   from PSAS, the eligibility request date, the requesting user and the
   date action was taken were added.
 
4. RMPFRPC1 - A section was added to remove special characters
   (@#%?&/\) from the values that are used in the URL. Also, the
   failure of the 'Date of Death' to be transmitted to the DDC has
- The inability to exit the "Display ROES3 Eligibility Requests[RMPFDE2]"
   been corrected.
 
5. The ROES 3 CPRS Tools option executable(ROES3.exe) was modified
   to:
   -Correct the spelling of 'priority'.
   -The title of the selection box was changed to 'You must select a
    Proposed Eligibility', and a selection was made mandatory.
   -A splash screen was added to the executable to help alleviate the
    problem of the application not getting focus in front of the CPRS
    screens. Circumstances may still exist where the CPRS screen has
  option by entering a circumflex(^).
    priority. In those situations the user can <Alt><Tab> to view the
    Audiogram screen.
   -The portion of the module that was used by developers to lookup a
    patient was removed. That section was not meant to be used by
    field stations.

Functional Change
=================
The Black Hills Health Care System reported a problem with the ROES3.exe
application causing excessive CPU usage on the desktop systems. The
problem was isolated to the part of the application that waited for
Internet Explorer to exit and then automatically pulled information from
the clipboard and formatted it as text for CPRS Notes.  This
functionality is removed by this patch. By removing this 'listener', the
runs from the CPRS Tools menu, as opposed to the ROES3DeskTop.exe
user will no longer be able to paste the 'formatted' order information
into a note in CPRS. Users will continue to have the ability to highlight
the order information and copy and paste the unformatted information.  The
DDC is looking into more efficient ways to restore this functionality in a
future enhancement if it is still desired by the user community.

application.
problem:
When a '#' sign was returned by the ADD^VADPT call in the patient's phone
number, it created a break in the URL that was used in establishing a
browser session to the ROES 3.0 web application from CPRS Tools. This
usually showed up as an eligibility error at the DDC.
 
resolution:
Routine RMPFRPC1 was modified to screen out any special characters from
the values used by the URL in ROES3.exe. The executable also has an added
function that verifies the removal of those characters.

 This patch contains the following enhancements and problem resolutions:
 ==========================================================
 
 The ROES application requires that the user's browser have JAVA
 available and enabled in order to function.  Sun has not developed a
 64-bit version of JAVA, so on 64-bit terminal server installations the
 
 browser is not JAVA capable. This may prevent some ROES features from
 working properly. 64-bit installations also have a 32-bit browser
 which resides at a location different from the normal 32-bit location.
 That new location is:
        C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE.
 
 The ROES executables that connect to the internet application have been
 modified to check for the 32-bit Internet Explorer at that location.
 This change will not affect any current 32-bit installations because, if 
 Internet Explorer is not found at that location, ROES will look in the
 Issues addressed in this patch are:
 usual installation directories:
        C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE or
        C:\Program Files\PLUS!\Microsoft Internet\IEXPLORE.EXE
 
 On a 64-Bit installation, if the ROES application still does not work
 properly after installing the new executable, please ensure the path
 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" does exist on
 the workstation.
 
 All workstations accessing the ROES application from either CPRS or the
 
 desktop need to have the RPCBroker Listener running, as in the previous
 releases of ROES. Refer to the RPCBroker Installation Guide for further
 direction, if needed. It can be retrieved from http://www.domain.ext/vdl.
 
 The following VistA routines have been modified to address new standards
 guidelines.
 
 1. RMPFRPC0 - Eligibility calculations were modified for new rules and
    categories and is now called directly from RMPFRPC1 instead of from
    remote procedure call RMPFELIG.
