Roster details will be collected on EVNT:
EVNT key = EVNT.EVNTBASE + EVNT.EVNTNUM
EVNT.EVNTNUM = Number of PM event selected.
The purpose of PMS4 is to delete a specific round’s purchases of a medicine, not the entire
medicine. For each PM selected, set "PMRO DELETED" flag on the previous round
PMRO. See detailed instructions below.
However, if there are no other purchases reported for this PM in any other round, set the
“PM EVENT DELETED” flag on the PM EVNT record. Since not all PMROs linked to an
EVNT are sent out with the case, a flag is set on EVNT that indicates if there are PMROs
linked to the EVNT that are not with the case at this time. See detailed instructions below.
PMRODFLG	

If PM selected, set PMRO.PMRODFLG=1/Yes on
previous round PMRO.

EVNTDFLG	

If PM selected, and (there are no other PMROs
linked to this PM EVNT where PMRO.PMRODFLG =
empty) and (EVNT.PREVPMRO=empty), set
