Setting Variables in OID.xsl file
-------------------------------------
1. Option to use the reclassified XEVMPD medicinal product name when available

The R3 files may contain the medicinal products reclassified against the XEVMPD as well as the original verbatim term. Organisations wish to use the XEVMPD term rather than the verbatim term in the converted R2 file can so by setting the variable [XEVMPD] to the value 1 by entering the digit between the tags:

XEVMPD term will not be used:
	   <xsl:variable name="XEVMPD"></xsl:variable>

XEVMPD term will be used if available:
	<xsl:variable name="XEVMPD">1</xsl:variable>
 
2. NCA Rerouted R3 files

In order to preserve the original sender of an R3 ICSR when converting to an R2 file the variable [NCAREROUTE] has been added. If this is set to the value 1, the original sender organisation provided in N.2.r.2 will be used to populate A.3.2.1.

N.2.r.2 will not be used to populate A.3.2.1
	<xsl:variable name="NCAREROUTE"></xsl:variable>

N.2.r.2 will not be used to populate A.3.2.1
	<xsl:variable name="NCAREROUTE">1</xsl:variable>

3.Set default text for missing patient initials, set the text you want to appear in the oids.xsl file by providing a value for the variable called MissingInitials:

<xsl:variable name="MissingInitials"></xsl:variable>  -- Leave patient initials blank

<xsl:variable name="MissingInitials">Privacy</xsl:variable> -- Will enter the text Privacy when no data is available

<xsl:variable name="MissingInitials">Unknown</xsl:variable> -- Will enter the text Unknown when no data is available

R2 --> R3 conversions
-----------
For R2 to R3 conversions (not recommended) the variable [testResMedDRAver] is used to capture the MedDRA version number to be used in the MedDRA coded R3 Lab test name.

MedDRA version 20.0 will be used for lab test names
	<xsl:variable name="testResMedDRAver">20.0</xsl:variable>
