HELP-PROMPT: Enter the event code screen for this entry.
DESCRIPTION: This field contains the information that makes up the event code screen.
This information is grouped in the following order: Location # - DSS Unit # - Category # -
Procedure #
TECHNICAL DESCR: The event code screen is defined as: Location # - DSS Unit # - Category # - Procedure #
Location is a pointer to the INSTITUTION file (#4).
DSS Unit is a pointer the DSS Unit file (#724).
Category is optionally used within each DSS Unit to group procedures. When utilized, category is a
pointer to the EVENT CAPTURE CATEGORY file (#726). Otherwise it is a zero (0). When category is
not used and stored as a zero (0), it is shown with the name "None" on all display screens and
reports.
Procedure is a variable pointer to A. CPT file (#81) or B. EC NATIONAL PROCEDURE file (#725).
