Kernel APIs: $$TEMP^XLFMSMT

Reference Type: Supported, Category: Measurement Functions, ICR#: 3175 & 10143

The $$TEMP^XLFMSMT extrinsic function converts U.S. temperature to Metric temperature and vice versa. It returns the equivalent value with units.

  $$TEMP^XLFMSMT(value,from,to)

value:

(required) A positive numeric value.

from:

(required) Unit of measure of the value input parameter (see table under the to input parameter).

to:

(required) Unit of measure to which the value input parameter is converted (see table below):

Valid units in either uppercase or lowercase are:

Metric	US
C—Celsius	F—Fahrenheit

returns:

Returns the temperature measurement.

Converting Fahrenheit to Celsius:

>S X=$$TEMP^XLFMSMT(72,"F","C")

>W X
22.222 C

Converting Celsius to Fahrenheit:

>S X=$$TEMP^XLFMSMT(0,"c","f")

>W X
32 F
