Hello Everyone, I’m trying to populated in my Xlate 240 days from the date listed in MSH-7. So if MSH-7 is 202006121154; how can I add 240 days to this date and populated in another field in the message? I’m doing something like this inline code:
regsub — {(\d{8})(\d+)} [lindex $xlateInVals 0] {\1 \2} dt
set xlateOutVals] -format %Y%m%d%H%M%S]]

Command to add 240 days from a terminal session:
set date_time_seconds [clock add [clock scan “202006121154” -format %Y%m%d%H%M] 240 days]
After the above command, if you run the command: clock format $date_time_seconds
It should display Sun Feb 07 11:54:00 CST 2021 (depending on your locale)
To do this in a xlate:
Mind you the command expects a time value in the format YYYYMMDDHHMM or else it may fail or convert the time incorrectly. I’m assuming 24 hour format for the hours.
set time_in [lindex $xlateInVals 0]
lset xlateOutVals 0 [clock format [clock add [clock scan $time_in -format %Y%m%d%H%M] 240 days] -format %Y%m%d%H%M]
You can combine the above commands into a single command if you’d want like so:
lset xlateOutVals 0 [clock format [clock add [clock scan [lindex $xlateInVals 0] -format %Y%m%d%H%M] 240 days] -format %Y%m%d%H%M]
