CQL-to-ELM Translator - STDOUT Option

[joelmontavon]

I'm trying to use the --stdout option for the CQL-to-ELM Translator but am getting an error that stdout is not a recognized option.

The CqlTranslator does not currently define a stdout option in is options parser definition. You can either use the output option to define a target file or folder or, if not present, the translator will automatically determine a target relative to the CQL source that is being translated.

I do see that the Overview.MD mentions it, so maybe this is a documentation issue? It would be pretty trivial to add support if there was a need for this feature.

I am looking at the documentation here: https://github.com/cqframework/clinical_quality_language/blob/f6e4542e7bfa57db776ae61570444d5a13239df6/Src/java/cql-to-elm/OVERVIEW.md.

@joelmontavon , what do you need the stdout option to do? Is it just to route the message output or are you trying to capture the actual translated ELM output?

[joelmontavon]

I am trying to capture the message output. There are probably other ways to accomplish this and have started a thread in FHIR chat.
