SAVEMERG^XDRMERGB(): Save Image of Existing and Merged Data

Reference Type: Controlled Subscription, Category: Toolkit—Duplicate Record Merge, ICR#: 2338

Description

During special processing related to the Patient Merge, the IBAXDR routine needs to call the SAVEMERG^XDRMERGB API. The SAVEMERG^XDRMERGB API saves the file image of an entry involved in the merge process when only one of the entries (the entry being merged or the entry being merged into) is present in the filenum input parameter. Normally, the merge process would handle when it can identify a FROM or a TO entry that is not present based on the DINUMed values. For filenum, however, the internal entry numbers are determined from the “B”-cross-reference, and missing entries need to be handled separately.

The SAVEMERG^XDRMERGB API acts to save an image of the currently existing data for the merge entry and merged into entry in the MERGE IMAGE (#15.4) file.

Format
