Message:

IF 742:  Multiplicity Counter, Date of Mult Tumors and Date of Mult Tumors Flag conflict

Specification:

This edit is skipped if either of the following condition are true:

1. Multiplicity Counter is blank.

2. Both Date of Mult Tumors and Date of Mult Tumors Flag are blank, indicating the date was intentionally not collected.

Note:  Another edit, "Date of Mult Tumors, Date Flag (NAACCR)", verifies that the date and flag fields are in agreement. If Multiplicity Counter = 01 (one tumor only), then Date of Mult Tumors Flag must = 15 (single tumor); if Date of Mult Tumors Flag = 15, then Multiplicity Counter must = 01. If Multiplicity Counter = 88 (information on multiple tumors not collected/not applicable for this site), then Date of Mult Tumors Flag must = 11 (information on multiple tumors not collected/not applicable for this site); if Date of Mult Tumors Flag = 11, then Multiplicity Counter must = 88.
