WorldVistA KIDS Guidelines

These Guidelines document the current practice of WorldVistA as of November 2019.

When changing Routines, the following actions must be done:

  1. Changing the second line of the routine to include the words "WVEHR,LOCAL"
  2. Commenting out the old code with the prefix " ;was;" in front of the line. Note that this means the second semicolon is usually followed by a space (" ") unless it had a label, and in the case of a label on the line, the beginning of the text of the label starts immediately after the second semicolon. The new line will never have a label, so any change to a line with a label must re-introduce a line with the label. The single semicolon is used at the beginning of the line because these comments don't need to be copied over to the run-time representation of the code, which some people call the "object" code.
