2)= I $D(X),X S XDR("APDTI")=X
This cross reference is set whenever the Potential Duplicate Threshold is increased. This Xref is
utilized by the Duplicate Resolution software to let it know to go through the existing
Non-verified Potential Duplicates and see if the duplicate record pair meet the increased Potential
Duplicate Threshold. If not, the duplicate record pair entry is deleted from the file.
The variable XDR("APDTI") is left around if somebody deletes the entry from the Duplicate
Resolution file. This is due to Fileman never allowing you to know if a person is just editing,
adding, or deleting an entry.

Verified Duplicate Mail Group about verified duplicates. If nothing is entered the Kernel
Duplicate Resolution software will send a brief bulletin to the members of the mail group. This
bulletin will only provide the .01 value and the DFN numbers of the two records. The duplicate
resolution software will pass the routine XDRMFR and XDRMTO and it will be up to this routine to
gather any other information it wants to send in the bulletin and also to send the bulletin to the
Verified Duplicate Mail Group. A label entry point is allowed but you must use a '-' instead of
the normal '^', ex. ENTRY POINT- ROUTINE. This entry point will be executed by the duplicate

Duplicate Record file as a Verified Potential Duplicate pair.
TECHNICAL DESCR: There is a input transform that does not allow the user to edit this field if the Duplicate Search
Status is set to 'Running'.
It is unknown in the early phases of the Duplicate Resolution software whether there will be a
percentage which no user interaction will be required to look at a potential duplicate and make the
determination that the pair truly are duplicates.
However if someone does enter a percentage in this field and the Duplicate Checker score exceeds
this percentage, the duplicate resolution software will enter the pair as verified non-duplicates
and will send the message to the Verified Duplicate Mail Group.
The merge will not occur at this time, it will either be started up via the automatic merge option
or be done at the completion of the duplicate checker.

'0' FOR No;
LAST EDITED: SEP 19, 2008
HELP-PROMPT: Enter 1 to suppress email sent when a new entry is added to the DUPLICATE RECORD file. Enter 0 to
send email.
DESCRIPTION: When a PATIENT pair entry is added to the DUPLICATE RECORD file by PSIM, an email is sent to the
mail group specified in the DUPLICATE MANAGER MAIL GROUP field, notifying them that the patient
pair has been added to the file with POTENTIAL DUPLICATE, UNVERIFIED status.
If this field is set to 1 (YES), the email will be suppressed (NOT sent). If this field is set to
0 (NO), the email will be sent.
TECHNICAL DESCR: This field is initialized to 1 for the PATIENT file record in patch XT*7.3*113, to suppress sending
the email messages while IMDQ processes a potentially large number of duplicate patients generated
by the Initiate search engine when its database is initially loaded.
IMDQ will later use a new option to set the field back to 0, so that email messages will be
generated when new entries are added to the DUPLICATE RECORD file.
If set to null, it will behave as if the field were set to 0.
The value in this field does not affect the DUPLICATE RECORD MERGE options.

DESCRIPTION:
This is the value given towards determing if a pair of records are potential duplicates.
TECHNICAL DESCR:This is the value given towards determing if a pair of records are potential duplicates. This
should be the maximum number of points awarded if the field from both records exactly matched.
In the Duplicate Test routine fractions of this value will be awarded based on whether there was an
exact match or some partial match.
15.111,.07 UNSUCCESSFUL MATCH WEIGHT 0;7 NUMBER (Required)

DESCRIPTION: This is the value that should be subtracted from the total number of points awarded in determining
if a pair of records are potential duplicates.
TECHNICAL DESCR:This is the value that should be subtracted from the total number of points awarded in determing if
a pair of records are potential duplicates.
In other words, when there is no type of match that can be made on the field in the two records
this negative score will be assigned to the checking algorithm.
15.1,1200 DINUM FILES FOR MERGE 12;0 POINTER Multiple #15.112 (Add New Entry without Asking)
DESCRIPTION: This multiple contains files that you want an operator to be able to compare and merge specific
fields from prior to the merging and deletion of the duplicate record From entry. You may only
enter files that point to and are dinum with the file you specified in the File to Be Checked field
(#.01).
You should only place entries in this multiple if you have chosen 'Interactive' for the type of
merge in the Merge Style field (#.25).
It uses Fileman's Compare and Merge option to display the duplicate record pair side by side
allowing the operator to merge specific fields from the From entry to the To entry.
