MEDITRAIN NPR Report Writer - Intermediate training CD is an excellent training and reference resource. It covers all of the concepts covered in MEDITECH's own intermediate training program plus more. It is designed for the user who has a working knowledge of NPR and who has mastered the beginner level.

The CD begins with a review of sort fields, multiples and possessives, followed by an explanation of data storage concepts covering the relationships between index, select and sort fields. An understanding of this relationship ensures that the student will be able to design fast efficient reports.

The CD goes on to cover Computed Fields. Attributes and functions are covered first with examples of each. Magic math is then explained. The available relational, boolean, string and format operators are described, with examples of how they work. How the NPR Report Writer evaluates computed fields and placement consideration is discussed. An outline of what run time variables are available and how to reference them in a computed field follows. Magic control structures are then explored, concentrating on the IF control structure. Examples of how to use these in a computed field are then shown. Computed sorts and selects are covered. Methods of accessing data that is not in the current data path are covered, including data in other segments. Uses for index files other than sorting and selecting data are then explored. An entire section on making expressions more concise and efficient follows.

The presentation concludes with the report writers graphic capabilities, including highlighting, shading, drawing boxes, manipulating fonts, etc.; tools you need to make reports more presentable.
