ORNOTEQUAL Function

Use: Compares multiple fields or variables to a specified value to determine if any of their values are not equal. This function uses OR logic where any value being compared may not 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 OREQUAL function compares multiple fields or variables to a specified field or variable to determine if any are equal. Syntax: {ORNOTEQUAL( «no case» , «compare_to» , «value1» , «value2»,,,, )} Arguments: «no case» 1 = case insensitive 0 = case sensitive«compare_to» Field to compare other values to«value1» Field to be compared You can type "PICK: to display the Picklist window for selecting a picklist to determine if any of its values is not equal to the source value. «value2»,,,, (to «valuen») Each additional field to be compared Returns: 1 = Not equal 0 = Eq

INPUTBOX Function

Use: Displays a custom window to gather input from the user. The input box may include a picklist of available options. Syntax: {INPUTBOX( «string» , «caption» , «default» , «picklist» )} Arguments: «string» Message or instruction to display in the input box«caption» Title of the input box«default» Default value for the input field«picklist» (optional) Existing picklist name or array variable as an alternate. If a picklist name is supplied, it displays a text box for users to type or select a value from the list displayed. You can type "PICK: to display the Picklist window for selecting a picklist. Returns: A string value from the input box Example 1: Field = txt_field{INPUTBOX( "Please type in a color" , "Color" , "" )} Result: An input box opens. The value entered is entered into the txt_field. Text input is limited to 100 characters. Example 2: Field = txt_fieldArray = @colors{INPUTBOX( "Please type in a color" , "Color" , "" , @colors )}Array: Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Orange, Purp

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

ISVALID Function

Use: Checks a diagnosis (ICD) or procedure(CPT4) code for validity. The IFELSE function can be used to display a message to the user. For diagnoses, the ISVALID function can be used to compare ICD-9 code effective and expiration dates to the encounter date. When a diagnosis search is made for an invalid ICD-9 code, the window opens in ICD Legacy Mapping mode, showing the equivalent ICD-10 codes. If an ICD-9 or CPT code has a delete_ind = Y, the function returns an invalid result. Syntax: {ISVALID( «table» , «code1», «code2»,,,, )} Arguments: «table» DIAG or PROC«code» Field(s) that contain the diagnosis code or procedure code Returns: 1 = Valid 0 = Invalid Example 1: Data entry field for procedure code = template_name_.Proc_code}{ISVALID( PROC , {template_name_.Proc_code})} Result: 1 for a valid code Example 2: Data entry field for diagnosis code = template_name_.Diag_code}{ISVALID( DIAG , {template_name_.Diag_code})} Result: 0 for an invalid code Parent topic: Functions

NUMPAD Function

Use: Displays a simple or normal number pad for the user to select a numeric value. The simple number pad contains only the numbers 0-9, plus and minus signs, a decimal point, and a Clear button. The normal number pad contains the same options plus percentages and additional numbers in increments of 5, 10, and 100. Syntax: {NUMPAD( «calling field» , «do listpick» , «default» , «caption» , «simple_or_normal» )} Arguments: «calling field» For a list pick event, the template field that the pick is made from«do listpick» (optional) 1 = true 0 = false«default» (optional) Default value displayed in the number pad when it opens«caption» (optional) Title of the number pad«simple_or_normal» (optional) 1 = simple 0 = normal If no parameters are entered, the function uses the simple number pad. Returns: A numeric value that can be stored in a text, numeric, or decimal field Example 1: Field = txt_field{NUMPAD( {template_name_.txt_field}, 0, 0, Please select a number, 0 )} Result: The normal numbe

NOTEQUAL Function

Use: Compares multiple fields or variables to a specified value to determine if all of their values are not equal. This function uses AND logic where each value being compared must not equal the source value in order to return a no 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 EQUAL function compares multiple fields or variables to a specified field or variable to determine if they are equal. Syntax: {NOTEQUAL( «no case» , «compare_to» , «value1» , «value2»,,,, )} Arguments: «no case» 1 = case insensitive 0 = case sensitive«compare_to» Field to compare other values to«value1» Field to be compared «value2»,,,, (to «valuen») Each additional field to be compared Returns: 1 = Not equal 0 = Equal Example 1: Case insensitiveFields: txt_field = Testtxt_other_field1 = texttxt_other_field2 = Tests{NOTEQUAL( 1 , {template_name_.txt_field

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
Example 1:	`Case insensitive Fields: txt_field = Test txt_other_field1 = test txt_other_field2 = text {OREQUAL( 1 , {template_name_.txt_field} , {template_name_.txt_other_field1} , {template_name_.txt_other_field2} )}` Result: 1
Example 2:	`Case insensitive Fields: txt_field = Test txt_other_field1 = tests txt_other_field2 = text {OREQUAL( 1 , {template_name_.txt_field} , {template_name_.txt_other_field1} , {template_name_.txt_other_field2} )}` Result: 0
Example 3	`Case sensitive Fields: txt_field = Test txt_other_field1 = Test txt_other_field2 = text {OREQUAL( 0 , {template_name_.txt_field} , {template_name_.txt_other_field1} , {template_name_.txt_other_field2} )}` Result: 1
Example 4	`Case sensitive Field: condition_field = Cardiomyopathy Picklist: Holter_Indications = Palpitations, Syncope, Near Syncope, A-Fib, A-Flutter, Arrhythmia, Tachycardia, Bradycardia, Cardiomyopathy {OREQUAL( 0 , {condition_field} , "Pick: Holter Indications" )}` Result: 1
