Functionality
INCLUDE NBAPI_ISH
It is used to create a patient master record. The patient master datapassed to it is stored under the patient number PATIENTID (forexternal number assignment), or an internally assigned patient number inthe institution INSTITUTION.
If you only want to create the patient master data that is valid for allinstitutions, you need not specify an institution in the parameterINSTITUTION
if you either leave the parameter in the interface blank or enter awildcard ('*'). In this case, note that no institution-specific data isstored, even if it is specified. The public list block PUBLISTBLOCK
and the parish PARISH fall into this category.

Description
The patient data as it would be saved (if TESTRUN = 'X') or wassaved is returned in this parameter.
In particular, if using internal number assignment, you can take thenew PATIENTID from the field with the same name. The associatedcheck digit is contained in the field CHKDIGITPAT. In test mode,(TESTRUN = 'X') internal number assignment does not take place.This means that no patient number or check digit is specified here intest mode with internal number assignment.
Addresses are passed to a separate table E_ADDRESSES. Onlyreferences to the corresponding address records in the tableE_ADDRESSES are specified here.

Description
Explicit specification of the patient number within the relatedinstitution.
If you wish to create the patient with a PATIENTID specifiedexternally, you must specify this number here. Note that the numbermust occur within the permitted external number range. Check beforehandthat this number has not already been specified (e.g. usingBAPI_PATIENT_SEARCH).
If you do not specify a number, the system assigns a new numberinternally.

Value range

Description
You specify the data for the patient to be created in this structure.
You pass addresses in a separate table I_ADDRESSES. You must onlyspecify references to the corresponding address data records in thetable I_ADDRESSES in this structure.
Note: You can also specify an unknown birthdate. The system supports thefollowing date formats for this purpose:
00.12.1911 => internal date 01.12.1911 day unknown
00.00.1911 => internal date 01.01.1911 month unknown
05.12.0000 => internal date 01.01.1880 year unknown *)
If you specify the date 00.00.0000, this date is not converted, since itis an invalid value (birthdate initial).
*) The year is preset with the system parameter MIN_DATE.
