| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
This patch contains Application Program Interface's (API's) that will

These are the files that are affected. If any application is making
direct global reads or writes to any of these files, they must be
replaced by using the API's exported with this patch.

writes to the National Drug File (NDF) files. Since the VA GENERIC file

product, any direct M-based global reads or writes to these files must be
replaced by calling the API's provided in this patch.
When the new data source is in place, the calling applications will not
be required to make any changes, because these API's will be flexible
