Calling From Automatic Pricing


If you want to call a protocol file from within an Automatic pricing procedure you can use ^37=filename on the extras line.

You should not specify the suffix .pro as this will be assumed. If the protocol file does not exist it will silently be ignored.

If no argument is given e.g. just enter ^37= either a pop-up box or the Index with all the protocols will be displayed.

If you are specifying a specific file and are wanting to include the title in the clinical records you should specifically use the [clinical] option.

When called like this you can 'pass back' information to the animal card. See the [passback] option.

Tip: Another usefull option is the ^33=1 metacharacter. This tells the system NOT to add the AP details to the clinical card. Really good if you are checking Mobile phone, transaction set etc. you want it to just exit and only do something if you tell it to.


One word of caution, if you are using a macro to call the procedure them you should make sure you have a dummy AP card setup that the protocol is attached to. You cannot use ^37=xxxx without a AP card.

FIV
Items for drips
0ivf? : 0civ? : gsb : 0gsce? : 0kr? :^37=xyz

If FIV is credited any items 'sold' via the script xyz.pro will not be credited, however, if you add a dummy card 'hp' and use that to call the script it will work e.g.

If macro is changed to 0ivf? : 0civ? : gsb : 0gsce? : 0kr? : hp

Where the AP card hp calls xyz.pro then they system will work as expected.
