Subject: ALLERGY EXTRACT INFINITE LOOP

Category: 
  - Routine

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

 When running the Allergy/Adverse Event extract, a list of symptoms too
 large will cause the job to fall into an infinite loop and error out,
 leaving the job information and a large amount of variables behind.

 Remedy Ticket Overview:
 =======================
  
   Problem:
   --------
   Running the Allergy/Adverse Event extract either through Automatic 
   Pharmacy Statistics [PSU PBM AUTO] or through Manual Pharmacy 
   Statistics [PSU PBM MANUAL] will send the job into an infinite loop 
   if one of logged events has a large list of symptoms.
  
   Solution:
   ---------
   Prevent the possibility of an infinite loop by adding a programatic
   limiter to one of the loops as well as preventing the corruption of 
   data by creating a new entry into the report if a multiple of a
   different observation dates exist.
