NAME ALERT CRITICAL TEXT LOOKUP AND EDIT
GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

Kernel Alerts do not have any APIs that enable a package to edit its own
Alert Critical text.  Therefore, for the purpose of adding/editing alert
critical text, permission is granted to:

1. Look up alert critical text using VA FileMan APIs, such as ^DIC or
$$FIND1^DIC.

2. Add/edit data in the ALERT CRITICAL TEXT (#8992.3) file using VA
FileMan APIs such as ^DIE, UPDATE^DIE or FILE^DIE.


NOTICE:  Adding an entry with Critical Text will report any Alert
containing that text as critical.  Careful analysis is necessary to
confirm changes will not cause malfunction of any VistA alerts.  When
creating a new entry in the ALERT CRITICAL TEXT (#8992.3) file, it is
recommended the associated package be indicated in the CREATING PACKAGE
(#.03) field.  Inquiries regarding the critical alert text can be
directed to the development team for the respective VistA application,
if a package development team exists for the application.  Finally, the
description included in the ALERT CRITICAL TEXT (#8992.3) file
PACKAGE-ID (#.02) field VA FileMan Data Dictionary should be observed
to determine if it must be defined.  That field's description indicates
that data in this field can further screen alerts from being reported
as critical.  Its use should be understood when adding entries to the
ALERT CRITICAL TEXT (#8992.3) file.

This is a string of text, which if present in the message
text for an alert, should be identified as text identifying a critical alert
and the alert emphasized in whatever manner available.
CRITICAL TEXT 0;1
.02 Both R/W w/Fileman 
This field is used to specify, if desired, a specific
package ID to be associated with the CRITICAL TEXT entered in field #.01.  The
value entered should be the textual part of the value used for XQAID when
creating the alert(s) (e.g., OR for OrdeR Entry or TIU for Text Integration
Utility).  If a non-null value is in this field, alerts containing the
CRITICAL TEXT string will only be indicated as critical alerts if they also
have text matching the PACKAGE-ID as a part of the ALERTID field.  Matching of
this value will not be case sensitive.
PACKAGE-ID 0;2

This is the package which is responsible for creating
this CRITICAL TEXT entry.
