In regulated testing, the panel only identifies the codeine and morphine.  (The real goal is to detect opium use.)  A specially requested extended opiate panel (which would not be sanctioned for DOT testing) would also detect the Vicodin (hydrocodone) and if desired separate quantitative levels can be obtained.
