Hi Michael,

Excellent question! Unfortunately, I don't have a great answer for you. We 
chose to deviate from the CDM specification in order to get the queries to run. 
Our approach is included at the bottom of #381, comment 
8<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/381#comment:8>. Let me 
know if you'd like more information on that.

On the Annotated Data Dictionary (ADD) submitted with the Data Characterization 
query output, the Technical Infrastructure tab specifically asked:

"(4)   All SAS file distribution queries will assume that fields are specified 
as noted in the CDM documentation. This is especially important for fields 
specified as SAS time or SAS date types. What technical approach have you taken 
to enable you to run SAS file distribution queries against your DataMart?"

Similar to the Data Characterization work that UNMC completed in Phase 1 with 
PCORnet CDM v1, there will be a meeting to discuss the Empirical Data 
Characterization Report. (We expect that file this week!) I anticipate that we 
will discuss the time field question then.

Prior to that meeting, James might be able to provide better guidance?

Thanks,
Laurel

Subject: Issue with time fields in PCORnet SAS Diagnosis Query results

Hi Laurel,
As you might know we're working on our i2b2 to PCORnet CDMv3 ETL here at KUMC 
(based on the SCHILS transform).  While doing so, we ran into the same issues 
you listed in the ticket 
#381<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__informatics.gpcnetwork.org_trac_Project_ticket_381-23comment-3A8&d=BQMF-g&c=KNVzINr6WAqWApikNSnyDeOu0ck0iFwcrMz92MxUhIs&r=A2PXk2ZGVGBzoEOQMwrrbqse0CnDMUgS4P3-3HOTSAwE8Vfvoc1Wm0NCYFbuU-_5&m=ykKr2fa7LSaAU_3vxkT80bMIUVSGRh1fV0OuD4zInr8&s=DiqxhnsNP4e3f-KPk1e_2-SUbr_Ijmo0uYNNamNlELc&e=>.
  Most were simple enough to correct, with the exception of the time field 
errors.  The CDMv3 specification clearly states that time fields should be 5 
character text fields (i.e. "HH:MM"), but the SAS code seems to expect numeric 
fields.  Nathan and Dan suggested I reach out to you to see you handled this at 
Marshfield, and if you ever heard back from PCORI on this.

Thanks!
