update the LINK TO FILE #2 field (#3.4) in the 1010EZ HOLDING File 
(#712).  Since this field is a pointer to the PATIENT File, when it's 
updated, FileMan calls the patient lookup, DPTLK, to validate the patient 
DFN being passed in.  The patient lookup checks a series of 
cross-references on the patient file, one of which is the "SSN" 
cross-reference.  When the DFN being checked matches the initial portion 
of a SSN uniquely, the IEN of this matching SSN is returned and stored as 
the pointer to the PATIENT File instead of the correct IEN.

      This patch corrects a <STORE> error inadverdently introduced by an IB
patch with the collection of eIV Eligibility/Benefit data from third
parties.  A call in the 10-10 Print option can potentially trigger the
<STORE> error if there are an inordinate number of these eIV Eligibility/
Benefit entries.  This patch adjusts the original call to reduce the 
data collection and size of the local parameter being created.
