converting HL7 date to MS SQL date in a BPL

#Ensemble

I"m doing a SQL insert in my BPL, one of the fields in my SQL table is an MSSQL TimeStamp. How do I get the date/time from my HL7 message and format it so that I can then insert it into my TimeStamp column in my SQL table? I've tried lots of different combinations.

I used CONVERT(DATETIME, substring(:request.GetValueAt("EVN:RecordedDateTime"),1,8)) to get just the date portion and it works, but I'd like the whole DateTime inserted into my TimeStamp field. This is an a BPL.

Thanks

In a lot of places I use...

ConvertDateTime (val,in,out,file)

 

..ConvertDateTime(source.{Z01(1):DateOfBirth},"%Y%m%d","%q(1)")

%q(1) is the format.

We had a consultant write this for us as well...

 

ClassMethod FormatStringToSQLDate(InDate As %String) As %String [ Final ]
{
If InDate=""
{
set OutDate="1900-01-01 00:00:00"
}
else
{
set DateLength=..Length(InDate)
if (DateLength > 7) && (DateLength < 15)
{
set YYYY=..SubString(InDate,1,4)
set mm=..SubString(InDate,5,6)
set dd=..SubString(InDate,7,8)
set OutDate=YYYY_"-"_mm_"-"_dd
if DateLength=8
{
set OutDate=OutDate_" 00:00:00"
}
if DateLength=10
{
set HH=..SubString(InDate,9,10)
set OutDate=OutDate_" "_HH_":00:00"
}
if DateLength=12
{
set HH=..SubString(InDate,9,10)
set MM=..SubString(InDate,11,12)
set OutDate=OutDate_" "_HH_":"_MM_":00"
}
if DateLength=14
{
set HH=..SubString(InDate,9,10)
set MM=..SubString(InDate,11,12)
set SS=..SubString(InDate,13,14)
set OutDate=OutDate_" "_HH_":"_MM_":"_SS
}
}
else
{
set OutDate="1900-01-01 00:00:00"
}
}
Quit OutDate
}

}
