Message:

RX Date Surgery and RX Date Surgery Flag conflict

If date is present, corresponding date flag must be blank

If RX Date Surgery is blank, corresponding RX Date Surgery Flag must = 10, 11, or 12

Specification:

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 RX Date Surgery must always be populated OR its corresponding flag must indicate the reason the field is blank.

  1. If RX Date Surgery is populated, then RX Date Surgery Flag must be blank.

  2. If RX Date Surgery is blank, then RX Date Surgery Flag must = 10 (unknown if any surgery was performed), 11 (no surgical procedure was performed;autopsy only case), or 12 (surgery was performed but the date is unknown).
