Good point, this is what I told BWS to do... I know this could probably
be on step, but I copied it from another script like this. The thing
is, it doesn't format everything to 20XX all the 1950 and up worked
fine. The screen is MM/DD/YYYY.
F("DOB")=TRIM(View(Row:=11, Col:=4, Length:=8))
D("DOB") = FORMAT(F("DOB"),"MMDDYYYY")

Greetings,
How exactly did <we> format it? If it's read from the screen, we just
pick up characters - unless those characters are being stored in a
variable that is defined as a date type we wouldn't do anything with
them.
or
Was this data that was keyed in from an Excel spreadsheet by chance?
Regards,
Thom

Subject: [Talk] Format Date
I have a script that pulls information from the insurance screen in STAR
to allow us to run batch eligibility checks for our series patients. I
came across an eligibility rejection that said "Date of Birth cannot be
in the future". It turns out the date in star is 08/14/25... meaning
1925 (Medicare, obviously), but BWS formatted it to 2025. How I make
sure that any Date of Birth before today never gets formatted as a
future date. I guess if we had a patient with a DOB of 1908 they would
be an exception, but the chances of that are probably pretty slim.
Thanks in advance,
Reese
