Description

    This flag explains why no appropriate value is in the field, RX Date DX/Stg Proc [1280]. This data item was first available in Volume II Version 12.
     
    Formerly RX Date--Dx/Stg Proc Flag.

Rationale
Before Version 12 (through 2009 diagnosis), date fields included codes that provided information other than dates. As part of an initiative to standardize date fields, new fields were introduced to accommodate non-date information that had previously been transmitted in date fields.
Codes (See Appendix H for the complete Flavors of Null table, which includes the NAACCR codes, HL7 codes and definitions.) 

    
        
            10
            No information whatsoever can be inferred from this exceptional value (e.g, unknown if any diagnostic or staging procedure performed).
        
        
            11
            No proper value is applicable in this context (e.g., no diagnostic or staging procedure performed; autopsy only case).
        
        
            12
            A proper value is applicable but not known. This event occurred, but the date is unknown (e.g., diagnostic or staging procedure performed but date is unknown).
        
        
            Blank
            A valid date value is provided in item RX Date DX/Stg Proc [1280], or the date was not expected to have been transmitted.
