Printing the Most Recent Visit Reason

Recently, a hospital inquired as to how to print the most recent visit reason.  They wrote the report in the DPM MRI.PAT and the detail segment mri.patient.file.

Please see Knowledge Base Article 17239 for an explanation on how data is stored in the mri.pat.visits.

Using information from the KB article, it is possible to print the most recent visit.  The computed field would look like:

xx.visit.reason
DAT=FREE
JFY=L
LEN=20
VAL=@visit.reason[@First(visit.subscript)]
