      I am taking the OBR 22 (which is time and date) and making an NTE segment and putting that in the in a different format. All is well, except i cannot figure out how to get semicolon’s in the time. Everything i have seen wants you to pull the current system date/time and i do not need that. thanks

          How are you doing your configuration for the date/time in the NTE?

            we are using a tcl proc. the date/time is stored as 200807020800.

            we would like it to say 07/02/2008  08:00.

            we have it like we want with the exception of the semicolon in the time.

              I would do it like:

              set dt 200807020800

              # Make it scanable

              regsub — {(d{8})(d+)} $dt {1 2} dt

              # Then smply format it

              set newdt [clock format [clock scan $dt] -format

                  “%m/%d/%Y %H:%M”]
