 REMEDY TICKET OVERVIEW:
 =======================
 1. HD212690 - PSO RXDL
  
    Problem:
    --------
    In the Delete a Prescription [PSO RXDL] option, if entering a
    prescription number that has previously been deleted and then pressing
    <enter> when prompted for a prescription again, an undefined error
    occurs.
  
    Resolution:
    -----------
    Modify routine PSORXDL so an error is not created when hitting return
    without entering a prescription number at the DELETE PRESCRIPTION: 
    prompt.
  
  
 2. HD210092 - PSO RXDL error
  
    Problem:
    --------
    In the Delete a Prescription [PSO RXDL] option, if the user enters a
    character like ! at the prescription prompt, 2 question marks are
    displayed because it is an invalid prescription.  Then at the next
    prompt for prescription, if an @ is entered, an undefined error 
    occurs.
  
    Resolution:
    -----------
    Modify routine PSORXDL so an error is not created when entering @ at
    the DELETE PRESCRIPTION: prompt.
  
  
 3. HD213587 - Prescription Cost Update [PSO RXCOST UPDATE] not working
  
    Problem:
    --------
    In the Prescription Cost Update [PSO RXCOST UPDATE] option, unless the 
    original fill date for the prescription is included in the requested date 
    range, the cost will not be updated in the PRESCRIPTION file (#52) for
    any of the fills.  If the user selects to update refills and partials 
    also, it updates all fills on the prescription regardless of whether 
    they were within the requested date range. 
  
    Resolution:
    -----------
    This patch makes a correction to update fills only within the requested 
    range without having to include the original fill in that range. If the
    user selects an end fill date of today or in the future, this option will 
    update the cost for all existing and suspended fills that have a fill date 
    in the future. 
  
    Note:
    -----
    While reviewing this Remedy ticket, the Outpatient Pharmacy Workgroup
    decided that, in most cases the users will want to include Refill &
    Partials, the following prompt will change.
  
    From:  Do you want to update cost on Refills and Partials too? No//
  
    To:    Do you want to exclude Refills and Partials? No//
  
    With this change, users can just accept the default of 'No' and the 
    cost of Refills and Partials will be updated.
  
  
 4. HD211759 - Bad Quantity MYHEALTHEVET error
  
    Patch PSO*7.0*29 (released 2/17/00) changed the Data Dictionary of the 
    Prescription file to not allow alpha characters in the QTY fields.  
    However, data in the system predating that patch could still exist.
  
    Resolution:
    -----------   
    This patch will add the following note,
  
    "NOTE: QTY values that were on file prior to patch PSO*7*29 (released
    2/17/00) may contain alpha characters. "
  
    to the Technical Description of the Data Dictionary for the following 
    fields:
  
    1. QTY field (#7) in the PRESCRIPTION file (#52)
    2. QTY field (#1) in the PRESCRIPTION file REFILL multiple (#52.1)
    3. QTY field (#.04) in the PRESCRIPTION file PARTIAL multiple (#52.2)
