Based on the list of unique dateTime formats provided by @jon-ide (unique_formats.txt), I recommend following a more conservative pattern that extends commonly found non-preferred formats with the following criteria:
With these criteria (and as a first pass), the additions I would recommend (but may be subject to removal for technical reasons) are:
*DeX likely has other constraints since they must be loaded into a data frame and made available for filtering.
In the 2024-10-09 ETSC meeting, we discussed the proposal to create a library for handling all date and time congruence checks across applications in the EDI ecosystem (e.g. ECC, ezEML, and DEX). The goal of this library is to reduce redundant code, simplify maintenance, and ensure consistency in handling date and time operations.
While we will eventually want a library to cover all types of congruence checks, the architecture for such a comprehensive solution is beyond the scope of this proposal. However, the library should be designed in a way that allows for future integration into a larger library if needed.
@rogerdahl , @jon-ide - what are your thoughts? How could DEX and ezEML benefit from this library? Are there any specific date and time processing requirements we should consider in the design?
