My IPeople

I recently attended a couple of MUSE webcasts put on by IPeople and have been trying the techniques presented but I have a followup question.  How do you properly use the Z.link to get both .data and .dic linked up properly.

I am trying to get positive culture results using the following macro to build an array of organisms.  I can see in the debugger that I get the organism ID but I don't get the name (/ORG in the example).  Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

When you look at the data definitions for LAB.M.ORG it uses the & prefix. Your statement, %Z.link(":","LAB","%.LAB.dic","LAB.SHS"),
looks correct but this will open : and point to the dictionaries. When NPR translates the statement, @LAB.M.ORG.name[/ID]^/ORG, it will still translate this using & but & is not open to the dictionaries. As a result, when you use the Chg.prefix statement you will want to change & to : instead of ? to :.

GET.ORGS
@Chg.prefix(LAB.M.ORG,&,:),
%Z.link(":","LAB","%.LAB.dic","LAB.SHS"),

This statement will tell the NPR report writer to use : for the prefix when it translates instead of & and since : is open to the dictionaries it should now successfully get the name. Give this a try and if this does not work for you then please let me know and I will be happy to try to reproduce this.
