I am hoping to create an alert on a form to prompt users to update a value. The duration for the alert needs to be based on a fiscal year. In other words, if the value has not been updated starting 7/1/2015, then it needs to be updated, even if it was last updated on 6/30/2015. Can someone please tell me how to code this in MEL?

I can probably help you with that, but let me confirm what you are after with an example.

It appears you are wanting to alert the user as follows:

From 7/1/2015 until 6/30/2016, you want to prompt the user to enter a value when no value exists with a date later than 6/30/2015.

Once 7/1/2016 occurs, you then want to prompt the user to enter a value when no value exists with a date later than 6/30/2016.

and so on...

Am I understanding you correctly?

I adjusted something I had, you will need to adjust where it says "userok(..." for your needs, I entered "Height" as the observation term as an example.

//use this to run the code every time the document is opened {!global RunOnce}{!if RunOnce == "" then CheckValue("height") RunOnce = "done" endif}


//use this to run the code once the first time the document is opened

{!global RunEvery}{!if DOCUMENT.RunEvery == "" then CheckValue("height") DOCUMENT.RunEvery = "done" endif}
//include this

{!fn CheckValue(obsterm){
	local last = last_signed_Obs_date(obsterm)

	local year = sub(str(document.clinicaldate),7,4)
	local try = "07/01/" + year
	if durationdays(str(document.clinicaldate),try)>0 then

		//fiscal year is previous year

		year = str(val(year) -1)

		try = "07/01/" + year

	endif
	if durationdays(last,try)>0 then

		userok("enter another value")

	else

		userok("value ok")

	endif
	return ""

} }
