$TXT Created by NNE at MNTVBB.DOMAIN.EXT (KIDS) on Thursday, 12/16/21 at 12:32 ============================================================================= Run Date: APR 21, 2022 Designation: PSS*1*256 Package : PSS - PHARMACY DATA MANAGEMENT Priority: Mandatory Version : 1 SEQ #222 Status: Released Compliance Date: MAY 22, 2022 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)PSS*1*242 <<= must be installed BEFORE `PSS*1*256' Subject: PSS EDIT ORDERABLE ITEMS PROMPT ISSUE WITH UP CARET AND ? Category: - Routine Description: ============ This patch will resolve the following issue: Edit Orderable Items [PSS EDIT ORDERABLE ITEMS] menu inappropriately jumps with use of an up caret "^" and a question mark "?". It was reported that the issue started occurring after the indication fields were added in PSS*1.0*204. Associated NSR(s): ================== N/A Defect Tracking System Ticket(s) & Overview: ============================================ 1. INC20326718 - Edit Orderable Items [PSS EDIT ORDERABLE ITEMS] menu inappropriately jumps several prompts with use of an up caret "^" and a question mark "?". Problem 1: ---------- It was reported by the Sacramento VA Medical Center that the Edit Orderable Items [PSS EDIT ORDERABLE ITEMS] menu inappropriately jumps several prompts with use of an up caret "^" and a question mark "?". Resolution 1: ------------- Fix the logic so it does not inappropriately jump several prompts with use of an up caret "^" and a question mark "?". Technical Resolution 1: ----------------------- Routine PSSPOIMO was updated in the DIR tag to move the 4 indication fields (14, 13, 14.1, and 14.2) added with PSO*7.0*204 and PSO*7.0*242 to the DR string variable. This will resolve the issue of the indicator fields displaying after the user enters an up caret "^" to quit out of the option. In addition, the logic was updated in the DIR tag to not skip prompts if a question mark is used for the help text.

(ex. PSS*1.0*256) B. Select the Backup a Transport Global option to create a backup message. You must use this option and specify what to backup; the entire Build or just Routines. The backup message can be used to restore the routines and components of the build to the pre-patch condition. i. At the Installation option menu, select Backup a Transport Global. ii. At the Select INSTALL NAME prompt, enter your build PSS*1.0*256. iii. When prompted for the following, enter "R" for Routines or "B" for Build.

Back-Out/Roll Back Plan: ------------------------ Back-out will be done only with the concurrence and participation of development team and appropriate VA site/region personnel. The decision to back-out or rollback software will be a joint decision between development team, VA site/region personnel and other appropriate VA personnel. Prior to installing an updated KIDS package, the site/region should have saved a backup of the routines in a mail message using the Backup a Transport Global [XPD BACKUP] menu option (this is done at time of install). The message containing the backed-up routines can be loaded with the "Xtract PackMan" function at the Message Action prompt. The Packman function "INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE" is then used to install the backed up routines onto the VistA System. If the patch was backed up for the build, from the Kernel Installation and Distribution System Menu, select the Installation Menu. Then select the Install Package(s) option and choose the patch (PSS*1.0*256b) to install. The back-out plan is to restore the routines from the backup created. No data was modified by this patch installation and, therefore, no rollback strategy is required. Validation of Back-out Procedure: --------------------------------- The Back-out Procedure can be verified by printing the first two lines of the routines contained in this patch using the First Line Routine Print [XU FIRST LINE PRINT] option. After the routines contained in this patch have been backed out, the second line of the routines will no longer contain the designation of this patch in the patch list section. Routine Information: ==================== The second line of each of these routines now looks like: ;;1.0;PHARMACY DATA MANAGEMENT;**[Patch List]**;9/30/97;Build 2 The checksums below are new checksums, and can be checked with CHECK1^XTSUMBLD.
