General information on the inter-field editing of date and date flag fields:
The purpose of this inter-field edit is to verify that a date field and the corresponding date flag field are in agreement. A blank flag field indicates that the date was either filled in or intentionally not collected. Otherwise the date flag should include a 2-digit code indicating the reason the date field is blank.
This edit requires Date of Diagnosis must be a valid date OR its corresponding flag must indicate that the date is unknown.
If Date of Diagnosis is populated (not blank), then Date of Diagnosis Flag must be blank.
If Date of Diagnosis is blank, the Date of Diagnosis Flag must = 12, indicating the date of diagnosis is unknown.
2010 Data Changes: Created and added this Edit for 2010.
