What is the best way to format date in each RXA-16 element?

Question

If RXA-16 is not blank and contains a date, format it as YYYYMMDD for each RXA-16 element.

Answer 1

This code will format the date as YYYYMMDD in each  RXA-16 field if the field is not blank. 

 

var values = message.getAllNodes("RXA-16");

for (var i=0 ; i < values.length ; i++) {

   var value=values[i]+'';

   if (value !== ''){

message.setNode('RXA['+(i+1)+']-16', qie.formatDate("yyyyMMdd", qie.deduceDate(value)));

}

}
