TESTS(.i,d,[t],[m],[.n],[c],[d1],[d2])


Returns lab items on a patient. In the case of Chemistry this would be the
tests, with Micro or AP it could be various items. Obtains only the tests a
patient has results for; therefore, useful to screen for only those tests on
selection. Results are not returned, just the tests (items).

arguments

[t]   type of data [C M A] chem, micro, or AP
default: C
[m]   max number of tests returned per call
default: 100
[.n]  next: returns 0 unless more tests available
[c]   condition expression: use V, F, and S as variables
for value, flag and specimen

where date is collection date, test is pointer value in
file 60, comment is 1 if it exists   else 0, data is
result node (value^flag^...etc...) Micro and AP data
return (-date_" "_item)=date^item^node^data
d     DFN
[i]   item or type [C M A] Chem, Micro, or AP
may also be an item or item or type [C M A]
may also be an item or partial type ("M;S;360",

VPR*1*2, released fall of 2013, uses routine LRPXAPI.
VPR is already using the Clinical Reminders indices to pull data from other
VistA applications, and wouldd like to use the index to pull some microbiology
data; LRPXAPI seems the cleanest way to resolve the values in the index and
get the supporting data.
