We're working on a history view that will contain all of the patient's upcoming appointments. Below is the MEL language I'm working with. It doesn't seem to work consistently. Does anyone have any suggestions?
{if SEARCH_APPTS("LIST","NEXT")<>"" then SEARCH_APPTS("LIST","NEXT") else "<none>" endif}
After we get upcoming, then I'm going to try all other past appointments. I was thinking of working with Appt Status for that but haven't gotten there yet.
Thank you, Vicky

I'm not familiar with the SEARCH_APPTS function - it doesn't exist in EMR 9.5 as far as I can tell. Is that a custom function your site has written possibly? Or new function for CPS 12/EMR 9.8?

Its something i took from CHUG a few years ago and renamed to the above, you need to include the function as well, which you must have done if it works sometimes at least. I just went from CPS10.1.3 to CPS 12.0.0 and the below version worked unaltered in both -
{fn SEARCH_APPTS(returnMethod,type){
//Valid types are NEXT, PREV, and CANC
if (toUpper(returnMethod) <> "DELIMITED" AND toUpper(returnMethod) <> "LIST" AND toUpper(returnMethod) <> "COMMA" AND toUpper(returnMethod) <> "FORMATTEDLONG") then
// Default Return Method if no value passed edit this if you want to change the default
returnMethod = "LIST"
endif
// initialize local variables
local retVal = ""
local z = getRowCount("_MELCurPatientAppt")
// loop through rows in _MELCurPatientAppt data object
for iq=1, iq<=z, iq=iq+1 do
local a = (getRow("_MELCurPatientAppt",iq,"AppointmentsId","ApptStart","ApptTypeId","FacilityId","DoctorID","ResourceId","Status","Canceled"))
if (val(durationdays(datestamp(),a[2]))>0 and a[8]=="" and toupper(type) == "NEXT") or (val(durationdays(datestamp(),a[2]))<0 and a[8]=="" and toupper(type) = "PREV") or (a[8]<>"" and toupper(type) == "CANC") then
// Appointment type lookup in _MELApptType data object
if (find("_MELApptType","Name","ApptTypeID",a[3]) <> "") then
a[3] = find("_MELApptType","Name","ApptTypeID",a[3])
endif
// Facility lookup in _MELLocation data object
if (find("_MELLocation","ListName","DoctorFacilityID",a[4]) <> "") then
a[4] = find("_MELLocation","ListName","DoctorFacilityID",a[4])
endif
// Doctor lookup in _DoctorFacilityForPatAppt data object
if (find("_DoctorFacilityForPatAppt","ListName","DoctorFacilityID",a[5]) <> "") then
a[5] = find("_DoctorFacilityForPatAppt","ListName","DoctorFacilityID",a[5])
endif
// Resource lookup in _DoctorFacilityForPatAppt data object
if (find("_DoctorFacilityForPatAppt","ListName","DoctorFacilityID",a[6]) <> "") then
a[6] = find("_DoctorFacilityForPatAppt","ListName","DoctorFacilityID",a[6])
endif
// ApptStatus is actually a combination of two fields, Canceled or ApptStatus. If Canceled <> "" then write Canceled, else write contents of ApptStatus
if (a[8] <> "") then
a[7] = "Canceled"
endif
cond
case toUpper(returnMethod) == "DELIMITED"
// Don't add pipe before first element
if (retVal <> "") then
retVal = "|" + retVal
endif
retVal = str(a[2],"^",a[3],"^",a[4],"^",a[6]) + retVal
case toUpper(returnMethod) == "LIST"
// Don't add HRET before first element
if (retVal <> "") then
retVal = retVal + HRET
endif
retVal = retVal + str(a[2],", ",a[3],", ",a[4],", ",a[6])
case toUpper(returnMethod) == "COMMA"
// Don't add comma before first element
if (retVal <> "") then
retVal = "," + retVal
endif
// Need to replace commas in elements with semicolon to prevent errors in comma separated list
retVal = str(ReplaceStr(a[2], ",",";")," ",ReplaceStr(a[3], ",",";")," ",ReplaceStr(a[4], ",",";")," ",ReplaceStr(a[6], ",",";")) + retVal
case toUpper(returnMethod) == "FORMATTEDLONG"
// Don't add new lines before first element
if (retVal <> "") then
retVal = HRET + HRET + retVal
endif
// Need to replace commas in elements with semicolon to prevent errors in comma separated list
retVal = str("ApptTime: ",ReplaceStr(a[2], ",",";"),HRET,"ApptType: ",ReplaceStr(a[3], ",",";"),HRET,"FacilityID: ",ReplaceStr(a[4], ",",";"),HRET,"ResourceID: ",ReplaceStr(a[6], ",",";")) + retVal
endcond
endif
endfor
return retVal
}}

Thank you so much! I will give that a try!
