Additionally, we were tasked with modifying the user prompt related to specifying the time duration in the Schedule Process to Merge Verified Duplicates [XDR MERGE READY DUPLICATES] option. Resolution: ----------- Modified the View Duplicate Record Entries [XDR VIEW DUPLICATE RECORD] option to display the IDENTIFYING SERVICE (#2) fields and the computed fields for the DUPLICATE RECORD (#15) file. Modified the XDRMERGB routine to reflect the requested verbiage in the queuing process for merging records.
