historical changes

In CANDIS, the Global edit logic was written like this:

 

IF (TU-DATE-DX < 19730000)

    OR

    ((TU-DATE-DX   >= 99990000) AND

     (TU-DATE-ADDED < 19870000))                           

    OR                                                    

    ((TU-DATE-DX >= 19730000 AND <= 19869999) AND

    (TU-INCIDENCE-CODE < 1))

      Then DO NOT perform edits

Bugs fixed to allow programmed rules to function according to documented specifications. Specifications clarified by replacing Eureka element name with NAACCR data item name and separating Interrecord from Patient edit specs.
