Inpatient Medications requests permission to $O through
the OPTION file (#19), "B" cross reference.  We also request Write access by
VA FileMan to the OUT OF ORDER MESSAGE field (#2).  In version 5.0, this code
is used to disable options during the pre install routine and enable them in
the post install routine.  The group of options that deal with Pick Lists are
inactivated during the pre install routine.  The options cannot be enabled
until the end of the Pick List conversion, which is hours after the KIDS
install finishes. The last task of the Pick List conversion routine is to
enable the Pick List options again.   This is needed to keep the users from
processing any Pick Lists until the conversion is completely finished.  Making
the edit to the OUT OF ORDER MESSAGE FIELD seems to be the only way to
accomplish this job.
