2. The following defects were identified during the software review as
part of patch development.
a. When a user enters a partial accession and is prompted for an
accession date the software was not defaulting to past dates. Defect
corrected by including "P" in the variable %DT when calling FileMan's
controlled by VHA DIRECTIVE 99-053, titled VISTA BLOOD BANK SOFTWARE.
%DT date processing routine.
b. Routine LRFASTS called by option Fast Bypass Data Entry/Verify
[LRFASTS] does not handle non-daily accession areas correctly. The routine
was using the order date as the accession date which is only correct when
the accession area associated with a test is daily. LRFASTS has been
corrected to retrieve the accession area, date and number for a test from
LAB ORDER ENTRY file (#69). It will now function correctly when processing
acccessions from non-daily acession areas, i.e. monthly, quarterly and
yearly.
c. Routine LRVERA was handling accession selection similiar to LRWU4.
This routine has been changed to call LRWU4.
d. The entry for Quarterly accession transform in the EXECUTE CODE file
(#62.07) contains code that creates an invalid FileMan date for the
accession date. The post install for this patch will check the EXECUTE
CODE file (#62.07) and ACCESSION file (#68) for entries using the
Quarterly accession transform and correct the code.
