Description:
============

  This patch will address the following issues:
   
  1. There is a problem with the CLRS (Clinical Logistics Report Server)
     data transmission to FMS (Financial Management System - Austin, TX)
     when there is a large amount of text in some of the fields on a
     requisition.
   
  2. The contract number is displayed on an original 1358 but is dropped
     on Adjustments. 
   
  3. The option '1358 Request (Enter)' [PRCSR1358] references a line label
     that no longer exists in routine ^PRCSED.

  Remedy Overview:
  ================ 
  1. HD0000000353850 No CLRS data feed
   
  Problem:
  --------
  The CLRS data was not being properly transmitted from a number of stations.
  The problem was determined to be caused by a <MAXSTRING> error which started
  occurring after installation of PRC*5.1*130.  When running the tasked
  option 'CLO Procurement Reports (CLRS)' [PRCHLO CLO PROCUREMENT], the
  data extract step encounters the <MAXSTRING> error when it tries to
  process a large piece of text in the JUSTIFICATION, COMMENTS, or
  SPECIAL REMARKS fields on a requisition.  There is a system limitation of
  32,767 characters for transmitted records and some sites were cutting and
  pasting large documents into the above named fields that exceeded that limit.
   
  Field reference:
    File:  CONTROL POINT ACTIVITY [#410]
      Field:  JUSTIFICATION [#45]
      Field:  COMMENTS [#60]
      Field:  SPECIAL REMARKS [#9]
  
  Resolution:
  -----------
  Routine PRCHLO6 is modified to truncate the data extraction at 200
  characters when getting text from the three Word Processing type fields
  listed above.  This will ensure that the SAC* maximum allowable string length
  of 256 characters is not exceeded and is considerably less than the system
  imposed MAXSTRING limit of 32,767 characters.
     
  * SAC = VHA programming Standards And Conventions
  
  Routines: PRCHLO6
   
    
  2. HD0000000350506 Contract Number on original 1358 but dropped on 
                     Adjustments
   
  Problem:
  -------
  When running the option 'Increase/Decrease Adjustment' [PRCEC ADJUST] for
  a 1358 entry where a contract number was assigned originally, the contract
  number is not brought forward on the new adjustment 1358 entry. Also, the
  vendor address and the internal pointer to the VENDOR file [#440] are not
  carried over to the new adjustment 1358 entry.
    
   
  Resolution:
  ----------                    
  The IFCAP routine PRCEADJ is modified to ensure that all vendor and
  contract information from the original 1358 entry is copied to the new
  1358 adjustment entry.
   
   
  Routines: PRCEADJ 
   
   
  3. HD0000000373619 Option PRCSR1358 has wrong line label in routine
   
  Problem:
  -------
  Users receive the error <NOLINE>R+2^XQ1 when selecting the option
  '1358 Request (Enter)' [PRCSR1358].  The error is caused because that
  option in the OPTION file [#19] was set to call the entry point R1358
  in routine PRCSED.  This was a valid option prior to July 1999 but the
  functionality it provided was replaced and the code in routine PRCSED
  was removed in patch PRC*5.0*182.  Unfortunately, the option itself was
  not deleted and it fails with the <NOLINE> error if someone tries to use
  it.
  
   
  Resolution:
  ----------                    
  The obsolete option '1358 Request (Enter)' [PRCSR1358] will be deleted. 
  The same functionality can still be found using options:
    'New 1358 request' [PRCEC NEW]
  and
    'New 1358 Request (Section)' [PRCS1358]
