Mindray Datetime Format

[alberk8]

Hi,

I am getting HL7 data from the Mindray V9 device and the dateTime looks like 20230211140114.0000+0800. The HL7 version is 2.6 latest nuget. When trying to parse oru.MSH.DateTimeOfMessage.GetAsDate() and error is thrown. Is this a non standard HL7 date time?

Seems like correct date time.

I think I had similar problems with it too.

Yeah I was fixing similar problem in 2020:
https://github.com/nHapiNET/nHapi/pull/118/files
#104

But that only fixed the fraction, but not the offset, which is in the H7 standard.

Yeah, the TsComponentOne.cs has problem with this.
And I don't see any parsing on CommonTM.cs and CommonTS.cs

=> So I am positive that this is a bug.

Thank you for confirming that it is a bug. I am a bit surprise that nobody has stumbled upon the bug. It was the first thing that hit me when trying to parse the HL7.
