When the Medsphere OpenVista Kernel inits are run, they create a FileMan file named “File” and it is given file number 1. This is the file of files which means that any file that is created within FileMan stuffs it’s file attributes here. This is a read only file and is not to be modified by human hands.

This file (#1) creates the globals ^DIC(, which is called the “lookup” global, and the ^DD(, which is called the Data Dictionary global. So, any file that is created will have these same globals created under the file’s internal entry number (IEN). The following is an example of File #1 and it’s globals:

DIC(1,
^DIC(1,0)=”FILE^1″
^DIC(1,0,”DD”)=”^”
^DIC(1,0,”GL”)=”^DIC(”
^DIC(1,0,”LAYGO”)=”^”
^DIC(1,0,”RD”)=”^”
^DIC(1,0,”WR”)=”^”
^DIC(1,”%D”,0)=”^^2^2^2940908^”
^DIC(1,”%D”,1,0)=”This file stores the descriptive information for all files in the FileMan”
^DIC(1,”%D”,2,0)=”managed database.”
Note that this file’s access codes are set to the “^”, which means that no one but the system installs can change this file.
When a file is created the system not only creates the ^DIC( and ^DD( globals, but a global that the actual data is stored. The default name for this global is ^DIZ(filenumber,. This global has already been placed within the operating system (OS) by the Kernel inits and given it’s system security attributes for security. You may want to create a global with a specific name other than ^DIZ. Prior to creating the file, this global must be placed on a specific volume set or disk, be given it’s security attributes and translated so that the production or test accounts can see it. This is normally done by the systems manager or a programmer that has permission to place globals. The attributes to set at the system level are normally:
(S)ystem
(W)orld
(G)roup
(U)ser
Each one of these would be set to any of four security levels:
(R)ead
(W)rite
(E)xecute
(D)elete
When you create a file or a field through FileMan, the system assigns the File Access Code equal to yours, so if you create the file or field in programmer mode or if you hold the “@” in your FileMan Access Code, the system will assign an “@” to the Data Dictionary (DD), Audit, Delete, LAYGO, Read and Write access of the file and it’s fields. In order to allow non-programmers access to the file or fields, you must either change the File Access Code or, if File Access Security (Part III of the Kernel) is running, assign access to the individual users.
File access security codes are set according to the group of applications:
Ex:
@ – Programmers access
# – IT specialists access
D – ADT users access
d – ADT supervisors access
S – Scheduling users access
s – Scheduling supervisors access
P – Pharmacy users access
p – Pharmacy supervisors access
F – Dietetics users access
f – Dietetics supervisors access
and so on…
Let’s look at how the New Person file (^VA,200) is set up:
Select FILE: 200 NEW PERSON

WR ACCESS (c): # DEL ACCESS (c): #
LAYGO ACCESS (c): # VERSION (c): 8.0
DISTRIBUTION PACKAGE (c): XU COMPILED CROSS-REFERENCES (c): NO
Note that only a programmer (someone who has been assigned the “@” can change the data dictionary of this file, however, someone with the “#” can read, write, delete or add to this file.
To look at the data dictionary of a file, follow these procedures using your filename or filenumber:

Note that the system gives you the name of the global, where all of the information is stored and the input, print, sort and forms templates.

 

Also, note that there are fields that are restricted to certain applications.
The Cross-references or X-refs are used for easier lookups of certain fields.
We will now break this structure down:
Globals are made up of nodes and pieces. The global node is everything to the left of the equal sign and the pieces are everything to the right and are separated by the delimiter “^”.
So if I said I wanted to look at the zeroth node, I would look at ^VA(200,D0,0).
If I wanted to look at the 3rd piece of the zeroth node, I would be looking at the Access Code.
Take the first node or line:
Piece 1                        Piece 2                                Piece 3
|                                       |                                       |
^VA(200,D0,0)= (#.01) NAME [1F] ^ (#1) INITIAL [2F] ^ (#2) ACCESS CODE [3F] ^
==>(#3) FILE MANAGER ACCESS CODE [4F] ^ (#9.21) DELETE ALL MAIL

==>DISUSER [7S] ^ (#7.2) VERIFY CODE never expires [8S] ^ (#8)
==>TITLE [9P:3.1] ^ ^ (#9.2) TERMINATION DATE [11D] ^ (#15)
==>PROHIBITED TIMES FOR SIGN-ON [12F] ^ (#9.4) Termination Reason
==>[13F] ^ ^ ^ (#8980.16) PERSON FILE POINTER [16P:16] ^
D0 is the internal entry number (IEN) of the .01 field or the person’s name. So, if I was looking up my user information, I would first have to know my IEN:
GTM>D Q^DI
VA FileMan 22.0
Select OPTION: INQUIRE TO FILE ENTRIES
OUTPUT FROM WHAT FILE: NEW PERSON//
Select NEW PERSON NAME: CRAFT,ADAM S CSK
ANOTHER ONE:

THEN PRINT FIELD:
Heading (S/C): NEW PERSON LIST//
DEVICE: TELNET
NEW PERSON LIST OCT 13,2004 10:23 PAGE 1
NUMBER
——————————————————————————–
91
I can then go and look at the global:
GTM>D ^%G
Output device: <terminal>:
List ^VA(200,91,0)
P1                         P2            P3
|                            |                |
^VA(200,91,0)=”CRAFT,ADAM S^CSK^ACCESSCODE^@”

When a new file is created, the default global is set to ^DIZ(filenumber,. If the creator wishes to, they can change the name to whatever is applicable (ex. ^VA(200,.
