Subject: Allocation Error in XQ82

Category: 
  - Routine

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

  
 Patch Tracking #: 36613760
 Test Sites: BRONX, NY; SALISBURY, NC; VA GREATER LOS ANGELES HCS,
             Louisville, KY
 Blood Bank Clearance: 8/26/2003
  
 NOIS: BRX-0503-11680, SBY-0503-31955, LAH-0603-61298
 Problem: The background routine XQ82 could get an ALLOC error if the record 
 that it is cleaning up has been deleted.  The FileMan documentation fails 
 to note that the FDA array is not killed if there is an error. This can 
 cause the array to grow because every following DBS call will fail.
 Fix: Kill the FDA array after every call to UPDATE^DIE.
  
 NOIS: HEH-0403-42011
 Notes by Rob Whelan of NVS raised the issue that XUSPURGE may be leaving
 the "CUR" X-ref in the sign-on log.
 Fix: Added code to see that it is removed.
