Just wondering if this is an option. I have a provider who is looking to see previous values from opposing listboxes.

Thank you!

Should be able to do it as long as you are saving them as observation terms

I have a form but I am not sure that it will work. Maybe I set it up wrong?

The opposing listboxes are being combined via a function and are both document variables, so once I add a INSERT PREVIOUS button it only fills out one box. (EVEN IF SELECTIONS WERE MADE FROM THE OPPOSITE LISTBOX)

Below is my function.

{fn fnCommaCombine(){

local rslt =

for i = 1, i <= getnargs(), i = i + 1 do

rslt = fncombineutility(rslt,getarg(i))

endfor

return rslt

}}

{fn fnCombineutility(one,two){

if (one <>

"") and (two <> "") then

return (one +

", " + two)

else

return (one + two)

endif

}}

{OBSNOW(

"ROS:GENERAL",fncommacombine(DOCUMENT.GENERAL,DOCUMENT.LISTBOX))}

{OBSNOW(

"ROS EYES",fncommacombine(DOCUMENT.GENERAL1,DOCUMENT.LISTBOX1))}

{OBSNOW(

"ROS ENT",fncommacombine(DOCUMENT.GENERAL111,DOCUMENT.LISTBOX111))}

{OBSNOW(

"ROS: CARDIAC",fncommacombine(DOCUMENT.GENERAL112,DOCUMENT.LISTBOX112))}

{OBSNOW(

"ROS:PULMON",fncommacombine(DOCUMENT.GENERAL1121,DOCUMENT.LISTBOX1121))}

{OBSNOW(

"ROS: GI",fncommacombine(DOCUMENT.GENERAL112111,DOCUMENT.LISTBOX112111))}

{OBSNOW(

"ROS: GU",fncommacombine(DOCUMENT.GENERAL88,DOCUMENT.LISTBOX88))}

{OBSNOW(

"ROS ENDO",fncommacombine(DOCUMENT.GENERAL112113,DOCUMENT.LISTBOX112113))}

{OBSNOW(

"ROS:MUSCSKEL",fncommacombine(DOCUMENT.GENERAL8,DOCUMENT.LISTBOX8))}

{OBSNOW(

"ROS SKIN",fncommacombine(DOCUMENT.GENERAL9,DOCUMENT.LISTBOX9))}

{OBSNOW(

"ROS: NEURO",fncommacombine(DOCUMENT.GENERAL91,DOCUMENT.LISTBOX91))}

{OBSNOW(

"ROS: PSYCH",fncommacombine(DOCUMENT.GENERAL911,DOCUMENT.LISTBOX911))}

{OBSNOW(

"ROS HEME",fncommacombine(DOCUMENT.GENERAL9111,DOCUMENT.LISTBOX9111))}

{OBSNOW(

"ROS BREAST",fncommacombine(DOCUMENT.GENERAL91111,DOCUMENT.LISTBOX91111))}

Most ROS forms have a function similar to below, in a case such as this you could insert the "Complains" sentence in one listbox and the "Denies" sentence in the other. In your example above I dont see anything that differentiates between the two fields, is the general variable a list box also?

{fn ListBoxResult(cstr,dstr,ostr) {
    local fullStr = ""
    if (size(cstr) > 0) then
      fullStr = "Complains of " + cstr + ". "
   endif

    if (size(dstr) > 0) then
      fullStr = fullstr + "Denies " + dstr + ". "
   endif

if (size(ostr) > 0) then
fullStr = fullstr + ostr
endif

return fullStr

}
}

Yes, that is correct. The general variable is part of an opposing listbox. Do I set both opposing boxes to the same OBS Term? Do you have any form examples of this? I just can't seem to make it work. Maybe I am overthinking it.

I'm bumping this post. Sorry, I am hoping for some help here.

Anyone, is there a way to do a opposing that listboxes that are attached to the same obs term...that I can add a button to insert previous values?

we typically combine values with a tilde "~" into an obsterm,

{fn Combine()
   {
   local nargs = GETNARGS()
   local delim
   local result = ""
   local index
   local arg

   if nargs>0 then
      delim = GETARG(1)
      for index = 2, index <= nargs, index = index + 1 do
         arg = GETARG(index)
         if arg<>"" then
            if result<>"" then
               result = result + STR(delim) + STR(arg)
            else
               result = STR(arg)
            endif
         endif
      endfor
   endif
   return STR(result)
   }
}

OBSNOW("...", Combine("~", variable1, variable2, etc))

and then when we want to use the previous value, we split it out by calling this function:

{fn SplitTildes(value, retval)
   {
   local obs_array = GETFIELD(value, "~", "")
   local sizearray = SIZE(obs_array)

   if sizearray==0
    or sizearray<retval then
      return ""
   else
      return obs_array[retval]
   endif
   }
}

like variable1 = SplitTildes(OBSPREV("..."), 1)

returns the first part of the value

variable2 = SplitTildes(OBSPREV("..."), 2)

returns the second part of the value, and so on...

I am not sure if we are answering your question…

Opposing listboxes must be defined by their OWN variable or obsterm.

opposing listbox for complains of = document.positive

opposing listbox for denies = document.negative

so if

document.positive = "fevers,fatigue"

document.negative = "sweats,appetite loss"

document.other = "some comment…"

So conceptually, you could do this…

OBSNOW("General",document.positive + "^" + document.negative + "^" + document.other)

OBSNOW("General") ends up = "fevers,fatigue^sweats,appetite loss^some comment")

then next visit, if you get obsprev("General")

you would need to split the value using (for example)

local anAry = getfield(OBSPREV("General"),"^","")

document.positive = anAry[1]

document.negative = anAry[2]

document.other = anAry[3]

is this what you were looking for ?

You may have to modify the above if you want to include "complains of" and "denies" in the correct places.

Your function

{OBSNOW(

"ROS:GENERAL",fncommacombine(DOCUMENT.GENERAL,DOCUMENT.LISTBOX))}

is storing both "complains of" and "denies" into the single obsterm, and completely losing the context of which part belongs to "complains of" and which belongs to "denies", because it is just appending them together with commas…

My sample above uses the caret "^" so you know which part belongs to complains of, denies, or comment…

I think you could use Jerrolls Combine function, which uses tilde "~" instead...

OBSNOW("General", Combine("~", document.positive, document.negative, document.comment) )

Then to get OBSPREV, use his other function SplitTildes

document.positive = SplitTildes( OBSPREV("General"), 1)

document.negative = SplitTildes( OBSPREV("General"), 2)

document.other = SplitTildes( OBSPREV("General"), 3)

Does that look correct Jerroll ?

That's correct. The Combine function can use any character as a separator, but the SplitTildes function only works with a tilde.

Or you could use our other function below, which will pull data from an obs term, either previous for all users, or what you entered previously. You specify 2 listboxes, with their corresponding values, and an MLEF. If data matches a listbox's values, it populates the corresponding listbox, if it doesn't match, it populates the MLEF.

NOTE: this will NOT work if both lists have the same values (opposing), unless your listboxes are setup like some of ours...'value' and 'no value'. In this scenario, you don't need to combine fields with tildes, just commas.

{fn Split2ListMulti(obs, mp, list1, list1_vals, list2, list2_vals, mlef)
   {// splits mine/prev obs value into up to 2 listboxes and 1 MLEF if not already populated
   local list1_val = EVAL(list1)
   local list2_val = EVAL(list2)
   local mlef_val = EVAL(mlef)
   local arr1 = array()
   local A = ""
   local B = ""
   local C = ""
   local sizearray
   local x
   local testvalue

   if list1_val==""
    and list2_val==""
    and mlef_val==""
    and (mp=="mine"
            or mp=="prev") then
      if mp=="mine" then
         arr1 = GETFIELD(SignMine(obs), ",", "")
      else
         if mp=="prev" then
            arr1 = GETFIELD(OBSPREV(obs), ",", "")
         endif
      endif
      sizearray = SIZE(arr1)
      for x = 1, x<=sizearray, x = x + 1 do
         testvalue = Trim(arr1[x])
         if MATCH(list1_vals, 1, testvalue)>0 then
            if A == "" then
               A = testvalue
            else
               A = A + ", " + testvalue
            endif
         else
            if MATCH(list2_vals, 1, testvalue)>0 then
               if B == "" then
                  B = testvalue
               else
                  B = B + ", " + testvalue
               endif
            else
               if C == "" then
                  C = testvalue
               else
                  C = C + ", " + testvalue
               endif
            endif
         endif
      endfor
      if list1<>"" then
         EVAL(list1 + ' = "' + A + '"')
      endif
      if list2<>"" then
         EVAL(list2 + ' = "' + B + '"')
      endif
      if mlef<>"" then
         EVAL(mlef + ' = "' + C + '"')
      endif
   endif
   return ""
   }
}

Thank you. This is helpful.

One last question.

Can I combine three values with the below function?

{fn fnCommaCombine(){
?
local rslt = ""
?
for i = 1, i <= getnargs(), i = i + 1 do
rslt = fncombineutility(rslt,getarg(i))
endfor
?
return rslt
}}
{fn fnCombineutility(one,two){
if (one <> "") and (two <> "") then
return (one + ", " + two)
else
return (one + two)
endif
}}

That looks familiar Cool

Yes, you can add as many or as few as you want to.

{fncommacombine(document.var1,document.var2,document.var3)}

Yes, it should look familiar. Laugh thank you for that.

The only thing I am confused about is when I use that function and then during the subsequent visit bring in previous values it's not bringing in the "complains of" or "denies" heading. ?

Sorry, I think I am making this much harder than it needs to be.

arr1 = GETFIELD(SignMine(obs), ",", "")

Jerroll, what is SignMine ? Is that a custom function ?

Or would you instead be using LASTOBSVALUEBYUSER(obs) ?

The problem I have with LASTOBSVALUEBYUSER(...) is that it does not return the "date" of signature.

Rebecca,

Maybe if you post a few lines of the code, the lines where you "save" the listboxes into one of the obsterms, then the lines where you try to pull obsprev data back and assign it to the listboxes...

Sorry...here are the missing functions. Our Combine function will take up to 254 arguments, with the first being the separator character.

{fn SignMine(obs)
   {
   local c
   local l
   local r = ""
   if LIST_OBS(obs,'Signed','delimited','value')<>"" then
      local a1 = GETFIELD(LIST_OBS(obs,'Signed','delimited','value'), "|", "")
      l = SIZE(a1)
      for c = 1, c <= l, c = c + 1 do
         if SIZE(a1[c])>0 then
            local a2 = GETFIELD(a1[c], "^", "")
            if a2[4]==USER.REALNAME then
               r = a2[1]
               c = l
            endif
         endif
      endfor
   endif
   if r<>"" then
      return r
   else
      return LASTOBSVALUEBYUSER(obs)
   endif
   }
}

{fn Trim(string)
   {
   local result = string
   local dowhile = true
   local sizeresult

   while dowhile do
      if SIZE(result)==0 then
         dowhile = false
      else
         if result[1]<>" " then
            dowhile = false
         else
            result = REMOVE(result, 1, 1)
         endif
      endif
   endwhile
   dowhile = true
   sizeresult = SIZE(result)
   while dowhile do
      if sizeresult==0 then
         dowhile = false
      else
         if result[sizeresult]<>" " then
            dowhile = false
         else
            result = REMOVE(result, sizeresult, 1)
            sizeresult = SIZE(result)
         endif
      endif
   endwhile
   return result
   }
}
