Using This Run
This example illustrates how a user can build a group of diagnoses for a given line in the report. These groups of diagnoses may have single codes, ranges of codes, and/or combinations of both.
The user types the title for the codes, but the codes are selected from a list. This minimizes the work of the user and insures that only valid codes are used.
For sets of titles and codes that you may want to run multiple times, put the groups of titles and codes into an ASCII text file with a file extension of ".cla". Select the parameter FILE and the file name for the 3rd parameter. When you select the parameter FILE, the program shows you a Dialog Box of all files with a file extension of ".cla" to select from.
