 Problem:
 ========
 The ZTA segment builder, VAFHLZTA, was modified.  A new parameter was 
 added to the call at the EN tag to allow Outpatient Pharmacy routines to 
 pass an array to be used other than the standard HL array for the 
 variables needed to build the HL7 segment.  An <UNDEFINED>EN+13^VAFHLZTA 
 error is occurring when this is called by some Outpatient Pharmacy 
 routines that are not passing the array.
  
 Solution:
 =========
 A change has been made to VAFHLZTA to not expect the HL variables to be 
 passed in a parameter.

 Suggested Testing Scenario:
 ---------------------------
 The test sites have already installed this patch successfully and the 
 issue has been resolved.  We have been requested to include a test 
 scenario to assist sites in confirming that the patch has fixed the 
 reported issue.
  
 The error occurred during the Outpatient Pharmacy option Patient 
 Prescription Processing (PSO LM BACKDOOR ORDERS) when sending a 
 prescription to a dispensing device (e.g. Optifill, ScriptPro).  This 
 should be executed in a test account first, if these devices are 
 available in your test environment.
  
 To reproduce the error, before installing DG*5.3*806:
  
 Select the option:  Patient Prescription Processing  (PSO LM BACKDOOR 
 ORDERS)
 Select a prescription.
 Use the Reprint (RP) action.
 At the prompt: Do you want to resend to Dispensing System Device?  Enter 
 YES
 At LABEL DEVICE: enter the Label Printer
  
 Prior to the installation of DG*5.3*806, the following error message will 
 appear in the error trap:  <UNDEFINED>EN+13^VAFHLZTA
  
 After installing patch DG*5.3*806:
  
 Select the option:  Patient Prescription Processing  (PSO LM BACKDOOR 
 ORDERS)
 Select a prescription.
 Use the Reprint (RP) action.
 At the prompt: Do you want to resend to Dispensing System Device?  Enter 
 YES
 At LABEL DEVICE: enter the Label Printer
  
 There should be no error in the error trap..
 Labels will print, the prescription will be sent to the device and 
 dispensed.
  
  
 If errors are still occurring, please report them via VA Help desk (enter
