Hands-On Exercise 7

Add editing capabilities to your lookup routine:

• Add code to main to call a new procedure called edit once the user has made a choice from the list of matches.

• The edit procedure should lock the record chosen for editing. Then it should call three new procedures: load, reprompt, and update. After the update, unlock the record.

• The load procedure simply loads the person's data. Update the display procedure to call this new procedure. The reprompt procedure should mimic the prompts and use the “$$valid” functions from your data entry routine, but also display the current data.

• If changes were made, the update procedure should start a transaction, and store the new data in ^PersonD. Next, it should update ^PersonI. Updating an index means using Kill on the old entry in the index and adding the new entry.
