Attributes

NameTypeDefaultDescription
fileCDATANoneA relative or absolute pathname. For relative pathnames, the base directory is the $STUDY_DIR/drf directory of the study. The pathname must be specified using UNIX file and directory naming semantics. If the pathname is not given, the processing system will create a pathname from:
  1. the base directory of $STUDY_DIR/drfof the study followed by

  2. the name of the batch, and terminated with

  3. the fixed suffix, .drf

The pathname specification can also include a sub-folder, the basic rule is, /STUDY_DIR/drf/sub-folder/xx_out.drf, which starts from absolute path, or sub-folder/xx_out.drf, which is a relative path. In both ways, the output file should be found in /STUDY_DIR/drf/sub-folder/xx_out.drf. The filename cannot contain ../ or /.. to alter the file path. Doing this will lead to error.

Description

Records can be selected by a previously created DRF. Each record in the DRF is retrieved and processed with the exception of any secondary records which are omitted. Secondary records are only used to link images to data records and can not be processed in batch.

Example 6.39. Select records from the DRF named /opt/studies/val254/drf/needcoding.drf

<IDRF file="/opt/studies/val254/drf/needcoding.drf" />

If the study drf directory is /opt/studies/val254/drf, the following statement has equivalent meaning.

<IDRF file="needcoding.drf" />
