Associated patches: (v)XT*7.3*63   <<= must be installed BEFORE `XT*7.3*69'

Subject: Undef EXTPTR~XPARDD fix.

Category: 
  - Routine

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

 Patch Tracking #: 35663630
 Test Sites: CLARKSBURG, WV 
 Blood Bank Clearance:
  
 NOIS: CLA-0402-22316
 Patch OR*3.0*141 deletes bad values from the Parameters file but for 
 sites that have turned on auditing, the audit requires the current 
 external value,  the DD has an output transform with a call to 
 $$OUT^XPARDD(Y,"I"). This calls the EXTPTR sub-routine that doesn't 
 handle bad data and causes the error.
 Fix: The $$EXTPTR^XPARDD function will now handle invalid input data.
 Example:
 KDE>W $$EXTPTR^XPARDD("A",8989.3) = > A
 KDE>W $$EXTPTR^XPARDD(2,8989.3)   = > 2
 KDE>W $$EXTPTR^XPARDD(1,8989.3)   = > NXT.KERNEL.FO-OAKLAND.MED.VA.GOV
 KDE>W $$EXTPTR^XPARDD(3,100.9)   = > LAB RESULTS
 KDE>W $$EXTPTR^XPARDD(3,100.93)  = > 3
  
 If the input doesn't get a valid entry, the input value is returned.
