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,

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.
