SUBF$ Function

NextGen® Enterprise EHR Template Editor Help, 8.3.1

IFELSE Function

Use: Returns a true or false value based on the condition passed to the function Syntax: {IFELSE( «condition» , «true», «false»)} Arguments: «condition» Condition to determine if the function returns a true or false value«true» The true value«false» The false value Note: You can use ASSIGN, CONFIRM, INPUTBOX, and PICKARRAY function parameters for the true/false values. To ensure that these values are correctly assigned, insert the SUBF$ function. Returns: The true or false value, which can be a string or numeric value Example 1: {IFELSE( 5 > 3 , do this, do that)} Result: do this Example 2: {IFELSE( 5 > 7 , do this, do that)} Result: do that Parent topic: Functions See also SUBF$ Function

SUBF$ Function

Use: Required when ASSIGN, CONFIRM, INPUTBOX, or PICKARRAY function parameters are used for the true/false values in the IFELSE Function. The addition of this subfunction ensures that the IFELSE function is evaluated correctly and returns the valid true or false value. Syntax: {IFELSE( «condition» , {SUBF$( «function» )$}, {SUBF$( «function» )$},)} Arguments: {SUBF$( «function» )$} «function» ASSIGN, CONFIRM, INPUTBOX, or PICKARRAY function$ symbols Used internally to ensure that the subfunction is evaluated correctly within the IFELSE function Returns: The true or false value based on the condition and function type Example 1: The ASSIGN function assigns a source value to the destination field(s) or variable(s). {IFELSE( {{template_name_.inputfield}=1 , {SUBF$( {ASSIGN("value 1" , {template_name_.field1}, {template_name_.field2})} )$}, {SUBF$( {ASSIGN("value 2" , {template_name_.field3}, {template_name_.field4} )} )$} )}Result: If 1 is entered in the input field, value 1 is assigned t

ASSIGN Function

Use: Assigns the source value to a list of destination parameters (fields and/or variables). Syntax: {ASSIGN( «source» , «dest1», «dest2»,,,, )} Arguments: {source} Source value«dest1» Field or variable to be assigned the source value«dest2»,,,, (to «destn») Each additional field or variable to be assigned the source value Returns: The source value Example: Source value = ""dest1 = template_name_.field1dest2 = template_name_.field 2dest3 = @variable1{ASSIGN( "" , template_name_.field1 , template_name_.field2 , @variable1)} Result: An empty value is assigned to the destination fields and variable.

CONFIRM Function

Use: Displays a window with a user-defined confirmation message and Yes and No buttons. Syntax: CONFIRM( «string» , «caption», «icon», «condition»)} Arguments: «string» Message that prompts the user to click Yes or No«caption» Title of the window«icon» Icon to appear in front of the message: WARNING = ! (default) INFO = i QUESTION = ?«condition» (Optional) Condition that displays this window Returns: 1 = Yes 0 = No Example: Fields: txt_field, txt_input_field CONFIRM( Do you want to continue? , "Input field is empty", WARNING, {template_name_.txt_input_field} = "")} Result: Yes or No Parent topic: Functions

OREQUAL Function

Use: Compares multiple fields or variables to a specified value to determine if any of their values are equal. This function uses OR logic where any value being compared may equal the source value in order to return an equal value for the group. You can compare values with or without regard to case (case sensitive or case insensitive). For example, in a case-insensitive comparison, abc is the same as ABC or aBc. Note: The ORNOTEQUAL function compares multiple fields or variables to a specified field or variable to determine if any are not equal. Syntax: {OREQUAL( «no case» , «compare_to» , «value1» , «value2»,,,, )} Arguments: «no case» 1 = case insensitive 0 = case sensitive«compare_to» Value to compare against other values«value1» Value to be compared You can type "PICK: to display the Picklist window for selecting a picklist to determine if any of its values is equal to the source value. «value2»,,,, (to «valuen») Each additional value to be compared Returns: 1 = Equal 0 = Not equal

IFELSE Function

Use: Returns a true or false value based on the condition passed to the function Syntax: {IFELSE( «condition» , «true», «false»)} Arguments: «condition» Condition to determine if the function returns a true or false value«true» The true value«false» The false value Note: You can use ASSIGN, CONFIRM, INPUTBOX, and PICKARRAY function parameters for the true/false values. To ensure that these values are correctly assigned, insert the SUBF$ function. Returns: The true or false value, which can be a string or numeric value Example 1: {IFELSE( 5 > 3 , do this, do that)} Result: do this Example 2: {IFELSE( 5 > 7 , do this, do that)} Result: do that Parent topic: Functions

Use:	Required when ASSIGN, CONFIRM, INPUTBOX, or PICKARRAY function parameters are used for the true/false values in the IFELSE Function. The addition of this subfunction ensures that the IFELSE function is evaluated correctly and returns the valid true or false value.
Syntax:	`{IFELSE( «condition» , {SUBF$( «function» )$}, {SUBF$( «function» )$},)}`
Arguments:	`{SUBF$( «function» )$} «function» ASSIGN, CONFIRM, INPUTBOX, or PICKARRAY function $ symbols Used internally to ensure that the subfunction is evaluated correctly within the IFELSE function`
Returns:	The true or false value based on the condition and function type
Example 1:	The ASSIGN function assigns a source value to the destination field(s) or variable(s). `{IFELSE( {{template_name_.inputfield}=1 , {SUBF$( {ASSIGN("value 1" , {template_name_.field1}, {template_name_.field2})} )$}, {SUBF$( {ASSIGN("value 2" , {template_name_.field3}, {template_name_.field4} )} )$} )}` Result: If 1 is entered in the input field, value 1 is assigned to template fields 1 and 2. If a value other than 1 is entered in the input field, value 2 is assigned to template fields 3 and 4.
Example 2:	The CONFIRM function displays a window with a user-defined confirmation message and Yes and No buttons. `{IFELSE( {template_name_.check box} = 1, {SUBF$({CONFIRM( {"Overwrite the existing value?", "Previous Entry", WARNING, template_name_.inputfield != ""})$}, {SUBF$({CONFIRM( {"Do you want to add a value?", "New Entry", QUESTION, template_name_.inputfield = "")})$})}` Note: Condition parameter is optional in the CONFIRM function. Result: If a checkbox with a value of 1 is selected, and a value is changed in the input field, a window opens a warning message that the existing value will be overwritten. If a different checkbox or no checkbox is selected, and the input field is empty, a window opens a message questioning whether a value should be added. In either case, the user must respond by selecting the Yes or No button.
Example 3:	The INPUTBOX function displays a custom window to gather input from the user. The input box may include a picklist of available options. `{IFELSE( {template_name_.inputfield} = 0, {SUBF$({INPUTBOX( "What is your marital status?", "Marital Status", "Single", @maritalstatus)})$}, {SUBF$({INPUTBOX( "What is your employment status", "Employment Status", "Working full-time", @employmentstatus)})$})}` Result: If 0 is entered in the input field, an input box displays with picklist values from the @maritalstatus array. If a value other than 0 is entered in the input field, an input box displays with picklist values from the @employmentstatus array.
Example 4:	The PICKARRAY function displays the values of an existing Array variable in a picklist for user selection. `{IFELSE( {template_name_.inputfield} = 0, {SUBF$({PICKARRAY( @vitamins, "Vitamin Use", 1, "None")})$}, {SUBF$({PICKARRAY( @drugs, "Prescription Drug Use", 1, "None")})$})}` Result: If 0 is entered in the input field, a picklist displays with sorted values from the @vitamins array. If a value other than 0 is entered in the input field, a picklist displays with sorted values from the @drugs array. If no selection is made, the default value of None is used.
