Medication Collection Dates

Note that the dates in the MEDICATIONS collection is a string by default (easier to format in a subject report).  However, must convert to date value if used in comparison (or use StartDateDate or EndDateDate).  An example comparing dates is below, uses the string conversion method.

var medicationList = MEDICATIONS;

for(var index = 0; index < medicationList.Count; index++) {
   var medication = medicationList.GetMedication(index);
   var medName = medication.TradeName;
   var medStartString = medication.StartDate;       '// note this is a formatted string, the same as using    #VariableName.toString()

                                                                               '// thus for date comparisons e.g., >, <, >=, etc., must use the string to create at date variable  (see below), which would be the same as #VariableName.value

   var medStart = new Date(medication.StartDate)
   var medEnd = new Date(medication.EndDate);

   if (!isNull(medStart)) {
      if (encDate >= medStart) {
         if (encDate <= medEnd || isNull(medEnd)) {
            do something...
         }
       }
   }
