This file contains implementation-specific information about the installation and use of the BCMA Backup system on the client workstation. This file is distributed with a pre-defined entry labelled "ONE". Further, the .01 field for this entry is marked uneditable. This pre-defined entry should not be deleted. No additional PARAMETERS entries should be made as they will be ignored by the BCMA Backup System. There are five fields that can be edited in this file: DEFAULT DAYS FOR MAR (field #1), DEFAULT MAR PRINTER (field #2), PURGE ORDER DAYS (field 5), PURGE PATIENT (field 6) and MED-LOG NUMBER (field 7). The option BCMA Backup System Parameters Edit (ALPB PARAMS EDIT) is provided for editing of these fields.
