IDENTIFIERS

CCR ID

NAACCR ID

None

None

This is a state requestor item and appears in Eureka only. Therefore, it is not in the exchange record and does not have either a CCR ID nor a NAACCR ID.

DESCRIPTION

On the Tumors file, it is the date this tumor was added to the regional registry's Main database. On the Admissions file, it is the date that this case report was added to the Main database. In both cases the date must be no earlier than the date that the registry determined that the case report was ready for transmittal to the CCR (all visual editing and inconsistencies resolved). The difference between DATE-ADDED and Date_Case_Load will allow analysis of time spent in processing at the registry. (This date may be on other files than those specified, but is not required on those other files.)

LEVELS

LENGTH

ALLOWABLE VALUES

A valid, complete date in YYYYMMDD, after the registry began and no later than current date. (Computer generated date)

General Date Editing Rules:

Date fields are recorded in the D1 date format of year, month, day (CCYYMMDD). Month and day must have leading zeros for values 01...09.

The following date format is allowed:

CCYYMMDD Century+Year, Month and Day are provided.

Dates are checked first to ensure they conform to one of these formats, then for errors in the components. Checking stops on the first non-valid situation.

Range checking:

Lowest allowed value:  January 1, 1850 (or in D1 format: 18500101)

Highest allowed value: current system date

The month is checked to ensure it falls within range 01...12.

The day is checked to ensure it falls within range for that specific month. Accommodation is made for leap years.
