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 formats are allowed:

     CCYYMMDD Century+Year, Month and Day are provided.

     CCYYMM__ Century+Year and Month. Day consists of two blank spaces.

     CCYY____ Century+Year. Month and Day consist of four blank spaces.

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

     When month is known, it is checked to ensure it falls within range 01...12.

     When month and day are known, day is checked to ensure it falls within range for that specific month. Accommodation is made for leap years.

SOURCE

After all the input dates and flags have been loaded or converted and loaded (depending on the record version), perform steps 1 – 4 in the UPDATE section, Tumor Level, New Case Consolidation to generate this date and it’s associated date flag, rather than loading vendor values which may or may not be generated in the same way.  

UPDATE

Tumor Level

New Case Consolidation

(Perform after chemo, hormone, BRM, and Transp Endo consolidations)

If RX Date Chemo, RX Date Chemo Flag, RX Date Hormone, RX Date Hormone Flag, RX Date BRM, RX Date BRM Flag, RX Date--Transplnt Endocr, RX Date--Transplnt Endocr Flag, or Type of Reporting Source are changed, then compare them to generate RX Date Systemic and RX Date Systemic Flag values according to these consolidation rules, executed in order and stopped when one of the numbered conditions is true:

If Type of Reporting Source is 7 (DC only), then set RX Date Systemic to blank and RX Date Systemic Flag to 10.

If Type of Reporting Source is 6 (Autopsy only), then set RX Date Systemic to blank and RX Date Systemic Flag to 11.

If all four dates are blank, then set RX Date Systemic to blank and consolidate RX Date Systemic Flag by comparing all the individual input date flags and determine the best value according to this hierarchy: 12, 15, 10, 11, blank.   

Otherwise, set RX Date Systemic Flag to blank and compare all fully known or partially known dates and set RX Date Systemic to the earliest* one.

Manual Change to RX Date Chemo, RX Date Chemo Flag, RX Date Hormone, RX Date Hormone Flag, RX Date BRM, RX Date BRM Flag, RX Date--Transplnt Endocr, RX Date--Transplnt Endocr Flag, or Type of Reporting Source:

Regenerate according to above New Case Consolidation rules.

Admission Level

Manual change or correction/update applied to RX Date Chemo, RX Date Chemo Flag, RX Date Hormone, RX Date Hormone Flag, RX Date BRM, RX Date BRM Flag, RX Date--Transplnt Endocr, RX Date--Transplnt Endocr Flag, or Type of Reporting Source:

Regenerate according to above New Case Consolidation rules.

* With year, month and/or day potentially blank, a date with a partial but later date could appear to be earlier because it is a smaller  number than a full earlier date. Thus, to test for the earliest among known dates, use these tests in this order:
