Finishing my previous example for multiple IRIS instances, I tried to compose a local single instance version. The step from the external Python app to a version using embedded Python seemed to be obvious. This was a wrong assumption, as some Python libraries just refused installation into my local Windows-based environment.
I’m working on a data transformation in IRIS where I need to calculate the difference in hours between two timestamps stored as %TimeStamp.
Example:
Set startTime = "2024-07-12 08:30:00" Set endTime = "2024-07-12 15:15:00"
I’d like to calculate the number of hours (with decimals, like 6.75) between them. What's the recommended way to do this in ObjectScript? I’ve seen examples using $ZDATETIME, but I’m not sure if that’s the cleanest approach.
Profiling CCD Documents with LEAD North’s CCD Data Profiler Ever opened a CCD and been greeted by a wall of tangled XML? You’re not alone. Despite being a core format for clinical data exchange, CCD's are notoriously dense, verbose, and unfriendly to the human eye. For developers and analysts trying to validate their structure or extract meaningful insights, navigating these documents can feel more like archaeology than engineering.
