APPENDIX F SPELLING WORDS FOR SuperMICAR DATA ENTRY

CHAPTER VII PROMPTS
The external cause information relevant to the MICAR system is that
a car hit an object on the highway and that the victim was a
passenger. This information combines the entry reported in Section I
on line (c) and the data reported in “How Injury Occurred” block. This
entry will be made on the AI screen using {F9}. Prompts can only be
entered on the AI screen.
The “>” (greater than) symbol is used to indicate the beginning of the
prompt. If the data entry operator is using the SuperMICAR Data
Entry System, entering “>>” will call the prompts to the screen. After
all questions pertinent to the specific prompt have been entered, the
PC will return to the original screen. If the prompts are being used
manually, the data entry operator will turn to the first page of
Appendix H in this manual after entering the “>” and follow the
instructions given there. The word “STOP” will indicate that all
pertinent information has been entered.
In the above illustration, the external cause information is first
reported on line (c) (or line 3) in Part I; therefore, “>” or “>>” is
entered at this position of the MICAR input record. The first
information to be determined is the type of external cause involved,
which is “TRANSPORTS” based upon the information “car hit bridge.”
If the prompts are being used manually, the data entry operator is
instructed to refer to Appendix H.
