Depending on the version of Vital Signs currently installed, some of these changes may have already been made.

Custom Extract Code

In revision 1942 (Jan 2016) a new option was added to the host MBRSHLN job to extract custom files.

The custom code is added to VSLOAD-CUSTOM (scripts) and a new macro is required to enable/disable the custom call.

Macro Definition File

• Edit the host macro definition file: /ASKPLUS/vsdata/custom/live/vsmacdef

• Near the beginning of the file, you will see these 3 lines:

(Your VS-CUSTOM-ATTR-XEQ will be set to 0 or 1 - do not change the value.)

** The following Macro should be set to 1 if custom attribute code is to be used for this client. 
** Custom code is added to /ASKPLUS/vsdata/scripts/VSCALC-CUSTOM-ATTR 
Macro VS-CUSTOM-ATTR-XEQ = 0 

• Add the following lines, after the above section, to create the VS-CUSTOM-LOAD-XEQ macro:

(Set the macro value to 0 unless you are adding a custom extract.)

** The following Macro should be set to 1 if custom extract code is to be used for this client. 
** Custom code is added to /ASKPLUS/vsdata/scripts/VSCALC-CUSTOM
Macro VS-CUSTOM-LOAD-XEQ = 0

• The file should now look like this:

** The following Macro should be set to 1 if custom attribute code is to be used for this client. 
** Custom code is added to /ASKPLUS/vsdata/scripts/VSCALC-CUSTOM-ATTR 
Macro VS-CUSTOM-ATTR-XEQ = 0 
  
** The following Macro should be set to 1 if custom extract code is to be used for this client. 
** Custom code is added to /ASKPLUS/vsdata/scripts/VSCALC-CUSTOM
Macro VS-CUSTOM-LOAD-XEQ = 0

Sample Custom Extract

• If you do not have a custom extract already in place, rename the sample file as shown below:

cd /ASKPLUS/vsdata/scripts
mv VSLOAD-CUSTOM.samp VSLOAD-CUSTOM
