Converting strings to dates in Integration Manager

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Richard Wheeler 75,854 Moderator

I have a csv file with a datetime string. The format is MMDDYYHHMMSS. I need to extract the date and import it into the SOP date field. An example is:

10152020040828

sDateValue = SourceFields(MID("SOP Header.F10",1,2))+ "/" + SourceFields(MID("SOP Header.F10",3,2))+ "/" +SourceFields(MID("SOP Header.F10",5,4))

I keep getting invalid date format.

    This does not work either. All I get are blank dates

    'Now build the date from the full date string

    sDay = SourceFields(MID("SOP Header.F10",3,2))

    sMonth = SourceFields(MID("SOP Header.F10",1,2))

    sYear = SourceFields(MID("SOP Header.F10",5,4))

    sDate = sMonth + "/" + sDay + "/" + sYear

    'Set the value to return to date

    CurrentField.Value = sDate
