Subject: HL7 MESSAGE PARSING UTILITIES

Category: 
  - Routine
  - Enhancement (Mandatory)

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

  This patch provides a new set of API's for application developers,
  enhancing support for parsing HL7 messages.  Existing applications are
  not affected.  A complete description of the API's is provided in a
  supplemental document, available online from the VistA Documentation 
  Library.
 
  Initially, the new parsing API's will be utilized only by the PFSS project
  via controlled subscriptions to DBIA's #4742 and #4744. Other application
  projects may utilize the parsing API's, but only after negotiating new DBIA's
  with the HL7 team.
  
  No NOIS addressed.
  
  Test sites:
  ===========
  ** None. This requirement was waived. **

  Installation Instructions (takes fewer than 5 minutes):
  =========================
    1.  Users are allowed to be on the system during the installation.
  
 
    2.  Use the 'INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE' option on the PackMan menu. This
        option will load the KIDS package onto your system.
  
    3.  This patch is now loaded into a transport global on your
        system. The next step is to use KIDS to install the Transport
        global. To do this, use the 'Installation [XPD INSTALLATION 
        MENU]' menu.  You should use each of the following
       'Installation' menu options in the order shown below:
  
          Verify Checksums in Transport Global
          Print Transport Global
          Compare Transport Global to Current System
          Backup a Transport Global
          Install Package(s)
  
        When using the 'Install Package(s)' menu option to install 
        the patch build, you will be asked several questions.  The 
        questions asked, and the answers you should supply, are 
        shown below.
