DtmSegment¶

DtmSegment models the X12 DTM date/time reference segment, a generic single-date carrier used throughout 837/835/277 transactions to attach a qualified date (e.g. service date, statement date) to a claim or loop, delegating all date/time string conversion to DateMaker.

Purpose¶

Represents the DTM segment identity via SegmentId returning the literal "DTM" (BR-020).
Carries DateTimeQualifier identifying what the date represents, paired with DateValue holding the actual date.
Delegates date/time string formatting and parsing to DateMaker.EdiFileDateString/DateMaker.MakeDateTime.

Context¶

Namespace: SAIF.Common.Files.Edi.Segments
Assembly/package: SAIF.Framework.Common.Files

Public members¶

Member	Signature	Purpose
SegmentId	`string SegmentId { get; }`	Returns the literal X12 segment identifier `"DTM"`.
DateTimeQualifier	`string DateTimeQualifier { get; set; }`	The code qualifying what `DateValue` represents (DTM01), element 1.
DateValue	`DateTime DateValue { get; set; }`	The qualified date/time value (DTM02), formatted via `DateMaker.EdiFileDateString` on `Build()` and parsed via `DateMaker.MakeDateTime` on `Fill()`.
Build	`IEdiSegment Build()`	Creates a `SegmentBuilder("DTM")`, adds `DateTimeQualifier` at element 1 and `DateMaker.EdiFileDateString(DateValue, null)` at element 2, returning the built segment.
Fill	`void Fill(IEdiSegment segment)`	Reads elements 1-2 via `GetChildValue`, parsing element 2 via `DateMaker.MakeDateTime`, into `DateTimeQualifier` and `DateValue`.
Parse	`static DtmSegment Parse(IEdiSegment segment)`	Instantiates a new `DtmSegment`, calls `Fill(segment)` on it, and returns it.
