You may elect to DELETE or PRESERVE these obsolete codes. If you elect to DELETE them (recommended), any obsolete code(s) that are NOT attached to resident data will be REMOVED from the list. If you elect to PRESERVE them, the obsolete codes will remain in the list; however, they will be marked as "non-current." All valid codes will be marked as "Library."
