Registry Plus™ Utility Programs Features and Future Plans
Features
Northcon12
This program is written to convert a file of records to the standard data layout of the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) version 12. The input file should consist of records conforming to the NAACCR record layout standards for versions 11, 11.1, 11.2, and 11.3. (For a program to produce NAACCR 11.x output records from the obsolete versions 10, 9, 8, and 7, please contact your program consultant.)
Recnizer
This utility identifies files of cancer registry abstracts in formats prescribed by NAACCR. It is useful in quickly determining the characteristics of files that are received from an outside source. Recnizer can test for validity files that may have caused unexplained problems for other software. The DLL that accompanies Recnizer, rpnaaccr.dll, can be used in other software to verify that a file consists of standard NAACCR records to prevent processing of damaged or ill-formated files.
Dynamic Link Library (DLL) nconv12.dll
This function library contains several functions to perform file conversion or record-by-record conversion when accessed by a program. This is the same DLL used by Northcon12, above, and other Registry Plus software.
Future Plans
The Utility Program Development Priority List is a list of development tasks prioritized by the NPCR Registry Plus development team. Each task is the direct result of meetings with the Registry Plus User Group (RPUG) as well as requests from individual cancer registries and leaders in the cancer registry field.
