Crossing References Fix Procedures
The crossing reference check and anlysis should be run to find problems and then fix by programs (auto-fix) and manually before the LEXICON is released annually. The entire processes might go through several iterative loops to complete. The procedure to fix these files are as follows:
- Run the program for the following steps:
- GenerateAcrAbbNomRecords
- CheckCrossRef
- AnaylyzeData
- Fix Procedures
- Remove duplicated records:
- Fix all lines in abbDup.data, acrDup.data, and nomDup.data
- Must complete all three files to make the data clean
- Delete/combine records if they are duplicated records
- Add to dupExceptions.data if they are not duplicated records
- The count on all these three files should be 0 before go to the next step.
- newTerm
- Ideally, allnew terms should be added to LEXICON
- It is OK if they are not
- abb
- acr
- nom
