Hi Community,

Can anyone explain how to apply early binding and late binding to a transformation.

Example:

I have DOB value as 12/12/2000

In transformation i need to format DOB value to 20001212-->this value i can achieve by using $E(DOB,7,10)_$E(DOB,4,5)_$E(DOB,1,2)

But how can i apply early binding and late binding to the above Data tranformation?

If you need to change date format within a transformation I would create a custom utility function and then use it in the transformation.

To build custom utility function see:

Hi Enrico,

I have tried using the class Ens.Rule.FunctionSet for changing the DOB format which is late binding

In my scenario i need to use early binding

Can anyone please give me an example how to use early binding in a data transformation?

Thanks,

Smythe

It's not clear to me what "early binding" means in the context of a data transformation. Do you mean something that happens at the time the DTL is compiled rather than at runtime?

If you can clarify what you mean by "early binding" that will help us get you an answer.

Hi ,

Let me explain in the scenario i need to apply early binding in the data transformation

Example: In the below transformation i need to normalize the value of administrative sex in the HL7 Message by using early Binding
<assign value='source.{PID:8}' property='target.{PID:8}' action='set' />
