| DD |
Used |
It is mandatory that you KILL the DD variable prior
to calling FILE^DICN.
|
DO |
Used |
If DO does not contain the characteristics of the
file you are adding to, then you should KILL DO so that FILE^DICN can call
DO^DIC1 to retrieve those characteristics. NOTE: This variable is D with the
letter O, not zero.
|
DIC |
Input |
The global root of the file.
|
DIC(0) |
Input |
(Required) A string of alphabetic characters which
alter how DIC responds. At a minimum this string must be set to null. The
characters you can include are:
E = Echo back information. F = Prevents saving the entry number of the
matched entry in the ^DISV global. Z = Zero node returned in Y(0) and
external form in Y(0,0).
|
DIC("P") |
Input |
Used when adding subentries in multiples (see DBIA
#10006).
|
DA |
Input |
Array of entry numbers (see DBIA #10006).
|
X |
Input |
(Optional) Identifies the subscript at which the data
is to be stored; that is, the internal entry number of the new record, shown
as follows (This means that DINUM must be a canonic number and that no data
exists in the global at that subscript location.):
$D(@(DIC_DINUM_")"))=0 If a record already exists at the DINUM internal
entry number, no new entry is made. The variable Y is returned equal -1.
|
DIC("DR") |
Input |
(Optional) Used to input other data elements at the
time of adding the entry. If the user does not enter these elements, the entry
will not be added. The format of DIC("DR") is the same as the variable DR
described under the discussion of DIE (see DBIA #10018).
|
Y |
Output |
DIC always returns the variable Y, which can be in
one of the two following values:
Y=-1 Indicates the lookup was unsuccessful; no new entry was added.
Y=N^S^1 N is the internal number of the entry in the file, S is the value of
the .01 field for that entry, and the 1 indicates that this entry has just
been added to the file.
|
Y(0) |
Output |
This variable is only set if DIC(0) contains a Z.
When it is set, it is equal to the entire zero node of the entry that was
selected.
|
Y(0,0) |
Output |
This variable is also only set if DIC(0) contains a
Z. When it is set, it is equal to the external form of the .01 field of the
entry.
|
DTOUT |
Output |
This is only defined if DIC has timed-out waiting for
input from the user.
|
DUOUT |
Output |
This is only defined if the user entered an up-arrow.
