Hi Brenda,
You could wrap the date in a %Z.date.out(/DTE)
IFE=IF{[ANS,"NURBLOOD2"]|0^/DTE,
IFE=/DTE^/[ANS%0,"NURBLOO134"]|0,P(R,S,%Z.date.out(/DTE))^#,""}
Or
You could use the DFT attribute to default in the date and thus avoid
the complicated code you have.
DFT=[ANS,"NURBL00D2"]|0
Would also do the trick. It would mean the cursor would staop and they
have to hit {ENTER} to continue. Sometimes simple is better.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Attribute help to convert date to "normal"
MM/DD/YYYY

======================================
Hi folks,
I have the following attribute on a query that is set up as a DATE field
in the query dictionary:
IFE=IF{[ANS,"NURBLOOD2"]|0^/DTE,
IFE=/DTE^/[ANS%0,"NURBLOO134"]|0,P(R,S,/DTE)^#,""}
The query's name that this attribute is on is "NURBLOO134". It is
pulling the info from the date field "NURBLOOD2" earlier on the same
CDS.
Trouble is, when it fills in the date field, it fills it in in the
internal date format (YYYYMMDD ....
20060817 for today for example).
After the CDS is filled in and saved, viewing it under View History
properly shows the 08/17/2006 format, but while the users are in the
screen for the first time, all they will see is the internal format.
How do I get it to fill in initially with the MM/DD/YYYY format? I'm
assuming I need to use the z.date.out z function, but do not know how to
insert it into my attribute above.
Thanks as always for the indispensible L-List help!!
