Hi Douglas, Not so hard. Start in BAR.PAT and build an index of BAR.PROC procedures along these lines: AL START ""^BAR.PROC.mnemonic,[EMAIL PROTECTED](BAR.PROC.mnemonic) 1^/PROC[BAR.PROC.mnemonic]} Run the report off the discharge or admit index using detail segment BAR.PAT.bar.acct.transactions. Add the following algorithm: AL D ""^/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Then all that remains is to report on those procedures left in /PROC. Good luck, Jerry Beals Holyoke Medical Center Holyoke, MA >>> "McGaw, Douglas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 5/24/2006 10:03:25 AM >>> All messages should be posted in plain text.

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Our accounting dept presented me with a "simple" request: List all charge procedures not used in 5 years. The idea is logical and elegant. The execution, however, looks to be difficult (as in impossible?) I considered starting in BAR.PROC to list the charge procedures, then fragmenting over to BAR.PAT transaction segment to pick up whether a particular procedure has been done in the last 5 years. But can you imagine the month of Sundays it would take to do this? Then I considered trying to scan the BAR.PAT fragment only once and set up an MV array before coming back to the BAR.PROC, but I don't see how this would work. Before I beat myself silly over this, I thought I'd send out an SOS to the "L" to see if anyone has already invented this wheel. Douglas B.
