NAME Delete PACKAGE file entry
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Allergy package is changing its name to ADVERSE
REACTION TRACKING with version 4. The package's namespace is GMRA. Some sites
have two entries in their PACKAGE file that have GMRA as the namespace. They
are ALLERGY TRACKING SYSTEM and GEN. MED. REC. - ALLERGIES. The former is
version 2.2 and the latter is version 3. Both are previous versions of the
ADVERSE REACTION TRACKING package. The GEN. MED. REC. - ALLERGIES entry will
be changed to ADVERSE REACTION TRACKING in the PACKAGE file (DBIA #1449).
This DBIA allows the version 4 environment check routine to delete any other
PACKAGE file entries that have the GMRA namespace.

When the unwanted entry has a lower internal entry number in the PACKAGE file
it confuses the $$VERSION^XPDUTL utility which looks at the namespace
cross-reference.

For example: W $$VERSION^XPDUTL("GMRA") can return the value 2.2 when it
should return 4.
