Hi Brian,
I got this code to work. The only difference is that I didn't pull the date
from meditech, I just set it equal to the current date.
These were the dates in my file:
11/28/08
03/09/08
10/09/08
The first time through it went to step "Check Anyhow", the second it made it to
"Bad Date" and the third "correct date". Maybe try formatting "mm/dd/yy" with
those "/" in there.
F("OrgDate") = Format(Left$(D("1"), 8), "MM/DD/YY")
F("Date") = Format(Now, "MM/DD/YY")
If F("Date") = F("OrgDate") Then
Step = "CORRECT DATE"
Exit Sub
ElseIf F("Date") < F("OrgDate") Then
Step = "CHECK ANYHOW"
Exit Sub
Else
'current date is greater than date in file
Step = "BADDATE"
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub

Subject: [talkbws] Comparing Dates
Morning all,
I'm have a bit of an dilemma this morning. I'm comparing Dates (equal or less
than) and thought I had it working last night. I have a pre-defined date in my
datastation and want to check it against the viewed date from Meditech.
This is my latest coding modification
F("OrgDate") =Left$(D("6"),8) '03/22/08
F("Date") =Trim$(View(Row:=Row, Col:=22, Length:=8) ) '10/24/06
If F("Date")= F("OrgDate") then
Step = "Correct Date"
End if ' no problems here, works just fine
If F("Date")< F("OrgDate") then
Step = "Check Anyhow"
End ' I thought this was working, but it turns out it is
only checking DD for the condition.
If I change the code to this;
F("OrgDate") =Format(Left$(D("6"),8),"MMDDYY") '032208
F("Date") =Format(Trim$(View(Row:=Row, Col:=22, Length:=8) ),"MMDDYY") '102406
If F("Date")= F("OrgDate") then
Step = "Correct Date"
End if
If F("Date")< F("OrgDate") then
Step = "Check Anyhow"
End
I don't think the MMDDYY actually converts the data to a date, if it did, the
less than statement would be true, but it remains false.
Any thoughts for a solution?
p.s. each of these are in different steps, I don't have them all crammed into
one rule. :)
p.p.s Thom, any chance one of the next BWS releases will have an "auto-save"
function?
Thanks.
