Hi Bert,

Could you tell me where you found that restriction? AFAIK any ISO8601 compliant format is allowed.

Thanks,
Tim

Hi,

As I read in the ADL document, the notation for dates has always dashes in between.
Like yyyy-MM-dd

I wonder why this is, and if other date-notations will be permitted in the future. I ask this because HL7 often only allows this yyyyMMdd.
    

In ADL, you can write a date in any ISO8601 form, with or without dashes. In cADL there is additionally an ISO8601-like literal constraint form in which patterns like "yyyy-mm-??" are used to constrain kinds of dates, e.g. that example allows for dates with optional days. That syntax (using literal "ymdThms" letters) is not ISO8601 - it is something we invented based on ISO8601.

Hope this clarifies.
