Thanks, Jim.

BTW, this is on Cloverleaf 5.5MultiByte.

I get the best results when DATECOPYOPT is after PATHCOPY.

My problem is: the timezone gets copied ONLY if precision is on. And with precision ON, I get “20090115120600.   0+0400″ . We do not want the portion in bold. I will try this with a tclproc.

If you have any other ideas, do throw them my way.

Thanks,

Anu

Hi Jim,

I have tested this more:

Even with PATHCOPY, I am able to copy/modify individual fields for other types:

PATHCOPY MSH segment

COPY =GE –< MSH#3(0) .. etc.,

I think there may be an issue with DATECOPYOPT or atleast it does not behave as expected.

Tests run:

1. PATHCOPY, DATECOPYOPT;Add Precision off; UseCustomTime (with timezone specified)

Result: Date is copied as is, does not show timezone; In my example: 20081027141230

Expected Result: 20081027141230+0330  —-> this is what we need for this situation

2. PATHCOPY, DATECOPYOPT;Add Precision On; UseCustomTime..(same as above)

Result: 20081027141230.   0+0330

Expected Result: 20081027141230+0330 (since seconds were specified)

Also, if DATECOPYOPT was placed before PATHCOPY, I guess the latter overwrote DATECOPY settings, so add precision did not help at all.
