MESSAGE

1. IF923: RX Date Other and RX Date Other Flag conflict

3. IF923: If RX Date Other is blank, RX Date Other Flag must = 10, 11, 12 or 15

specification

The purpose of this interfield 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 does not require RX Date Other because it was not required by the COC until 1996. RX Date Other and RX Date Other Flag may both be blank, indicating the date was intentionally not collected. However, if either field is populated, they must be in agreement.

1. If both fields are blank, the edit is skipped.

2. If RX Date Other is populated, then RX Date Other Flag must be blank.

3. If RX Date Other is blank and RX Date Other Flag is not blank, then RX Date Other Flag must = 10 (unknown if other therapy administered), 11 (no other treatment administered; autopsy only case), 12 (other therapy administered,but the date is unknown), or 15, other therapy is planned as part of first course therapy, but not yet started at time of most recent follow-up.

Note: Another edit [RX Date Other, Date Flag, DX Date (COC)] verifies that either the date or the flag is populated for cases diagnosed 1996 or later.
