$TXT Created by BATIE,RANDY at MNTVBB.FO-WASH.MED.VA.GOV (KIDS) on Tuesday, 10/14/03 at 11:27 ============================================================================= Run Date: NOV 20, 2003 Designation: PRC*5.1*55 Package : PRC - IFCAP Priority: Mandatory Version : 5.1 SEQ #62 Status: Released Compliance Date: DEC 21, 2003 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)PRC*5.1*59 <<= must be installed BEFORE `PRC*5.1*55' Subject: MISLEADING OPTION HELP TEXT/MISPELLED VARIABLE Category: - Routine - Other Description: ============ This patch addresses NOIS related issues on the Fiscal Pending Action report (HEH-1101-41068), and the misspelling of the PRC("PARAM") array (ISW-0603-22178). This patch addresses the following New Service Request (NSR): ------------------------------------------------------------- There is no NSR associated with this patch. This patch addresses the following NOIS message(s): --------------------------------------------------- 1. HEH-1101-41068 Fiscal Pending Action Rpt 2. ISW-0603-22178 PRCHE1 reference to PRC('PRARAM') not PRC('PARAM') Overview of NOIS Message(s): ---------------------------- 1. HEH-1101-41068 Fiscal Pending Action Rpt Problem: -------- The help text for the Fiscal Pending Action [PRCB RPT FISCAL PENDING ACTION] option states: 'This option will print all 1358, Amendment and P.O. transactions with a status of Pending Fiscal Action' During processing, the report routine, PRCB2A, pulls all POs with a Fiscal status of 10, 15, or 20, which equates to a Supply Status of 10 (Pending Fiscal Action), 28 (Partial Received but not Obligated), and 33 (Complete Order Received but not Oblig). Then, it looks at the 'AD' cross-reference of the FUND CONTROL POINT file (#420), to pull the control points marked as General Post Fund control points. It uses those control points to loop through the 'AN' cross-reference of the CONTROL POINT ACTIVITY file (#410), and find the IEN of transactions with that particular control point. Because it appears to be pulling transactions for that one control point, and no others, the above help text is misleading. Resolution: ----------- The Fiscal Pending Action [PRCB RPT FISCAL PENDING ACTION] option will contain the following help text. 'This option will print all Purchase Orders with a status of Pending Fiscal Action. It will also print all General Post Fund 2237s and 1358s with a status of Pending Fiscal Action.' 2. ISW-0603-22178 PRCHE1 reference to PRC('PRARAM') not PRC('PARAM') Problem: -------- In routine PRCHE1, the line I '$D(PRC("PRARAM")) D Q:'% at line tag VEDIT contains the typo PRARAM. The correct spelling for this PRC array variable is PARAM. PRC("PARAM") is defined by a call to the routine PRCFSITE, and is described in the IFCAP 5.1 technical manual as containing site parameters from global node ^PRC(411,Site,0). Resolution: ----------- This patch contains a modified version of routine PRCHE1 with the correctly spelled PRC array variable.
