Does anyone know how to strip the time from this data symbol?

{LIST_OBS('FOLLOW-UP','update','list','valuedate')}.

use 'delimited' instead of 'list' and then use the first 2 fields.

Thanks I had actually found that in help and was able to replicate it but it doesnt say how to pull just the first two fields anywhere? For example like in Java someone may use charAt or other programs may use [1,2].

here's an example:

{fn FillArraysWithObs(ObsTerm, aTypes, aVals, aDates, aDatesConverted)
   {
   local count
   local length

   if LIST_OBS(ObsTerm, 'Pencil', 'list', 'valuedate')<>"" then
      local obs_array1 = GETFIELD(LIST_OBS(ObsTerm, 'Pencil', 'list', 'valuedate'), hret, "")
      length = SIZE(obs_array1)
      for count = 1, count <= length, count = count + 1 do
         if SIZE(obs_array1[count])>0
          and MATCH(obs_array1[count], 1, "(")>0 then
            local obs_array2 = GETFIELD(obs_array1[count], "(", "")
            if SIZE(obs_array2)>2 then
               obs_array2[1] = obs_array2[1] + "(" + obs_array2[2]
               obs_array2[2] = obs_array2[3]
            endif
            INSERT(aTypes, 1, ObsTerm)
            INSERT(aVals, 1, Trim(obs_array2[1]))
            INSERT(aDates, 1, SUB(obs_array2[2], 1, 10))
            INSERT(aDatesConverted, 1, ConvertDate(obs_array2[2]))
         endif
      endfor
   endif
   }
}

How are you trying to use/display it? This should get you a simple list of observations and dates

{fn listobsdateonly(obsname){
local obsarray1
local obsarray2
local obsreturn

obsarray1 = getfield(LISTOBS(obsname,'signed','delimited','value'),"|","")

for i = 1, i < size(obsarray1), i=i+1 do
  obsarray2 = getfield(obsarray1[i],"^","")
  if obsreturn <> "" then
   obsreturn = obsreturn + hret
  endif
  obsreturn = obsreturn + obsarray2[1] + " " + obsarray2[2]
endfor

return obsreturn
}}

In a handout, this was the orginal data symbol that works great in there but I was trying to strip the time from:

{LIST_OBS('FOLLOW-UP','update','list','valuedate')}

Maybe I am not adding the function right to the handout.

Try:

{fn listobsdateonly(obsname){
local obsarray1
local obsarray2
local obsreturn

obsarray1 = getfield(LISTOBS(obsname,'update','delimited','value'),"|","")

for i = 1, i < size(obsarray1), i=i+1 do
  obsarray2 = getfield(obsarray1[i],"^","")
  if obsreturn <> "" then
   obsreturn = obsreturn + hret
  endif
  obsreturn = obsreturn + obsarray2[1] + " (" + obsarray2[2] + ")"
endfor

return obsreturn
}}

Copy and paste the following into notepad, and then into the handout -

{fn listobsdateonly(obsname){
local obsarray1
local obsarray2
local obsreturn

return obsreturn
}}{listobsdateonly('FOLLOW-UP')}

I was using almost the same as this {listobsdateonly('FOLLOW-UP')} but with " instead of ' and both work with another function I pasted in there. I can't get this new function to work though for some reason. If it is working for you both maybe I should retype the whole thing. It keeps saying function definition is not executable.

have to copy from here and paste into Notepad to remove any funky characters and then copy from Notepad and paste into your handout. make sure word wrap is not checked in Notepad under Format.

I messed up, it should be LIST_OBS, not LISTOBS, my bad

And also the parameter 'update' will only work in an active chart update, otherwise there is nothing to find and you get a void error, maybe we should replace 'update' with 'pencil' ? That would capture everything...
