Can someone duplicate a variant test for me?

[Jason Alexander]

I am having a problem that we’ve been able to reproduce locally but cannot explain.  I’m looking for someone to reproduce the test for us to see if this is something unique to us or what.

We’re on CL 5.8.5 running on AIX 6.1.

We built a Z-segment for an Epic source that assigned field 90170 as a DT with length 14.  We then did a simple bulkcopy with the same variant as source and destination and got a panic.

Any date format caused a panic.  Changing it to a string format like ST or TX worked fine.  Changing the field number (and nothing else) made it work as a DT, TS or DTM.

So the question is if you make 90170 a DT can you use it in a bulkcopy?

Try TS or DTM not DT.

Field length of 8 still results in a panic.  Sorry for not being more explicit about that in the original post.

Stab in the dark, but have you checked that there is no other field that has the same id?

ie:

Code:

find $HCIROOT/formats/hl7 $HCIMASTERSITEDIR/formats/hl7 $HCISITEDIR/formats/hl7 | xargs grep 90170

Yup, verified unique as part of the initial build.  We’ve run into that before so we have that step as part of our build process.
