While it is true that your IFE statement will work without including the
IF portion, it is not the best practice to write it leaving that portion
out as a general rule.  Keeping the proper syntax of the IF Statement in
full view makes it easier to understand what you are doing.  I would
recommend actually completing the IF Statement logic by including the
"then" and "else" in it.  It also makes it easier to change the logic
around.  For instance, if your IF Statement is written as follows, you
can simply swap the 1 and "" to change how the statement works.

 

IFE=IF{([ANS,"ADM.INS.HM"]|0="N")!([ANS,"ADM.INS.WK"]|0="N") 1;""}

 

Of course, none of this answers your question.  The attribute coding on
each query is evaluated individually so the normal course would be to
duplicate that IFE on every query you want to stop or skip based on the
same criteria.  I know that some folks have developed logic that can pop
you around to different spots, but that is advanced logic that probably
isn't best implemented by everyone.

First thing that I see is that the IF statement is redundant.

 

The IFE statement functions as an IF when the statement returnes a
value, i.e. "true", so there is no need for the IF.

 

Try... 

IFE=([ANS,"ADM.INS.HM"]|0="N")!([ANS,"ADM.INS.WK"]|0="N")

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Attribute help

Hello,

I am building a CDS screen for Admissions and I am stuck on an
attribute.  I want to be able to skip multiple queries if the answer is
Yes to the question above it.  I am able to skip one question but how do
I skip multiple questions on the same attribute?  This is not working
and I haven't been able to find any "Or" examples on the attribute pages
out there.

Thanks in advance.

 

IFE=IF{([ANS,"ADM.INS.HM"]|0="N")!([ANS,"ADM.INS.WK"]|0="N")}
