Question

The "Frequency" fields (R0020/C0010 and R0020/C0020) is an "Integer" field per the annotated templates. Because the entry is to be presented to zero decimal places (it is not a monetary item), the only expected entries can be 0 or 1. Is this correct: would a "Percentage" field not make more sense in this instance?

Answer

Your assessment is correct. There is a mistake in DPM.The following steps should be adopted:1. Report integer under the current taxonomy, i.e. “60” for 60%.2. Issue will be documented in the list of know issues.3. It will be corrected in the next taxonomy for Metric: Pure (that we use for percentage).
