Hi,
I am getting the following error but not sure if the CQL-to-ELM translator I am using is outdated. Can you please advise? Thank you very much for your help.
Regards,
Tien Thai

It says there is an invalid version format on line 4. What is line 4 in your CQL?
Tien Thai (Feb 15 2022 at 20:14):
Yes, it is the line that includes the external CQL library (i.e. Recommendations-for-Osteoporosis) which is also present in the same folder. I am sure why it says "Could not resolve identifier Recommendations-for-Osteoporosis in the current library" when this library does exist in the same package.

It failed CQL-to-ELM for me too. I experimented with it and found that if I changed the name of the library "Recommendations-for-Osteoporosis" to "RecommendationsForOsteoporosis", then it worked correctly. @Bryn Rhodes -- is there possibly a bug in the CQL-to-ELM translator related to using include with a quoted library name containing the - character?
Tien Thai (Feb 16 2022 at 17:43):
It is working now. Thanks Chris!
Chris Moesel (Feb 16 2022 at 17:54):
You're welcome. I think that quoted library names with - are technically allowed, but not encouraged (and apparently not fully supported by CQL-to-ELM right now). The FHIR Clinical Guidelines IG contains some guidance for authoring CQL libraries, and says:
The library identifier SHALL be a valid un-quoted identifier and SHALL NOT contain underscores
Since - only works in a quoted identifier, then according to that guidance, - should not be used in a library identifier.
Tien Thai (Feb 16 2022 at 19:06):
Yes, I forgot the naming convention for CQL library. However, the "Invalid Version Format" error message seems to be a bit confusing. Thank you very much for your help.
Bryn Rhodes (Feb 16 2022 at 20:48):
Yes, it sounds like the translator might be doing something wrong there. I've submitted an issue to follow up on this: https://github.com/cqframework/clinical_quality_language/issues/726
