IGeneralNotificationRequest::SetPatient method
Sets the primary parameters and structured address of the patient if a patient is involved in the notification thread. This is in principle true as soon as a dependent object reference is defined. In reverse this means that a dependent object reference must be defined as soon as a patient is defined. The address is defined via a IAddress interface pointer and the address data must be defined prior to call this method. Note that the patient as well as the dependent object reference data must stem from that dependent request infoset!

C/C++ calling syntax
HRESULT SetPatient(	SexType DATE BSTR IAddress VARIANT_BOOL	eSexType, dBirthdate, bstrSSN, pIAddress, pbStatus);

Calling argument description
[in] SexType	eSexType	The patient's gender.
[in] DATE	dBirthdate	The patient's birthdate.
[in] BSTR	bstrSSN	Defines the social security number (SSN) of the patient whereupon 3 distinguished types are allowed: the old 11 digit Swiss SSN ("AHV-Nummer") as defined by Federal Social Insurance Office the new 13 digit Swiss SSN ("SV-Nummer") beginning with 756 as defined by Federal Social Insurance Office the new 4-10 digit SSN of Liechtenstein ("AHV-Nummer") as defined by Liechtensteinische AHV-IV-FAK The SSN can be supplied in its printed (with dots) or electronic (only digits) form.
[in] IAddress	*pIAddress	Pointer to an IAddress interface instance that holds the structured address parts.
[out, retval] VARIANT_BOOL	*pbStatus	Return status of the method. If pbStatus is VARIANT_FALSE then an error occurred and GetAbortInfo should be called to retrieve the error string.

C/C++ return value
S_OK	This value is returned if the function call was successful or if the return value of a boolean method signalling a true value. In this case the VARIANT_BOOL is set to VARIANT_TRUE.
S_FALSE	This is the return value of a boolean method signalling a false return value. In this case the VARIANT_BOOL is set to VARIANT_FALSE.
E_name	This value is returned if the function call was unsuccessful and an error exception was generated. Note that if you are using SmartPointers an exception is thrown under these conditions.
