Global Map

The Global Map format shows the actual structure of the global (file) that contains the data for the file and its templates. This information is of primary interest to programmers who can control how data is stored.

Here is a sample Global Map:

GLOBAL MAP DATA DICTIONARY #16026 -- PATIENT FILE            05/31/91  PAGE 1

INPUT TEMPLATE(S):
^DIE(30)= ZZUPDATE    

PRINT TEMPLATE(S):
^DIPT(.01)= CAPTIONED    
^DIPT(60)= ZZDIAGPRINT    

SORT TEMPLATE(S):

An understanding of these data dictionary listings is the key to displaying, changing, and deleting the data in individual file entries.
