Calculating years between 2 date fields

I am trying to build a form in LiveCycle Designer 7 to report missing persons. I would like to populate a text field with the number of years between two dates entered in date/time fields; specifically using a missing person's DOB and the date they were last seen to calculate their age when last seen.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Drew

Greetings,
I need an age in months and years.
On my LiveCycyle form I have two date fields 'dob' and 'rdtestdate'. I am in Australia so we use dd/mm/yyyy as the format.
The field designated to display the calculated result -- 'rdage' -- is set as a calculated-read only text field.
What javascript/formcalc code would I use to calculate the age in years and months, please?
I've been studying and testing the various solutions but don't understand well enough, sorry! When I paste in a sample and change the field names to match mine, my result remains empty. Sometimes I get a failed script message as I try to save the form. I've tried quite a few different scripts to no avail.
Thanks for any assistance.

Rip of year from date field

I have a question. I want to rip of the year from date field. For e.g if date is 01/02/2006 I want just the 01/02 which month and date. I tried to use substr function but it;s giving weird result. I used substr(date, 0,5) but not working. Please suggest.

If it is a DATE column/variable it is conventional to use TO_CHAR with an appropriate date format, in your case TO_CHAR (date_column, 'MM/YY').

Simpler ways of calculating years between

Hi again,
I would appreciate numerous versions of calculating years between in years of age
i think there should be simpler ones than this below:
SQL> select floor(months_between(hire_date,dob)/12) age from employee;
AGE
38
32
30
46
39
25
32
46
39
33
10 rows selected.
many thanks

The EXTRACT approach will return wrong age counts for persons having their birthday in this current month, on a given day in this current month but after today.
Age by minus is also not always accurate.
E.g:
SELECT nr
, birthdate
, trunc( months_between(sysdate,birthdate) / 12 ) age_by_months_between
, trunc((SYSDATE - birthdate)/365.25) age_by_minus
, EXTRACT(YEAR FROM((trunc(SYSDATE)- birthdate)YEAR TO MONTH)) AS age_by_extract
, floor(months_between(trunc(sysdate),birthdate )/12) age_by_floor
FROM <table>
Results:
BIRTHDATE     AGE_BY_MONTHS_BETWEEN     AGE_BY_MINUS     AGE_BY_EXTRACT     AGE_BY_EXTRACT2

Year from date field

hi
in cdhdr table udate field is there. i want to retrieve the records belong to 2007
only. when i am using offset on udate field as udate+0(4) in the select statement it is showing error. plz tell me how to retrieve only year form udate field in select stament.
regards
sami

Hi...
You can use the LIKE Operator in this Case for checking the conditions.
Eg
Select * from CDHDR into table itab where Udate LIKE '2007%'.
To access the Year field only use...
SELECT udate(4) FROM cdhdr.....

To filter data acording to year of date field of a table

Hi i have a table
TABLE T1(ID NUMBER, SET_DATE DATE)I want to select id values from this table by comparing year present in set_date field.
For that i wrote
select id from t1 where set_date like '%2010%' ;It's returning no rows.
But the following code is working
select id from t1 where set_date like '%10%' ;Though second code is working there is a demerit in both these code because i am not specifying to match year.It's quite possible that 10 may be present any where else, and this query will return all those rows.So how to filter rows according to year?

You should be careful that applying a function to your date column will bypass any indexes - unless it is an appropriate function based index. It is often better to convert your criteria to a match your data rather than convert your data once for every row in the table. The following example will allow the optimizer to use an index if appropriate;
with t1 as(
   select 1 id, sysdate set_date from dual union all
   select 2, add_months(sysdate,-12) from dual)
select id
from t1
where set_date between to_date('01-jan-2010', 'dd-mon-yyyy') and
      to_date('31-dec-2010 23:59:59', 'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss');
        ID
         1

Calculating Year to Date Totals

Develper advises they have no solution in Crystal for the following. Report requires display of monthly expenditure totals and a YTD total that represents the cummulative total of each month. The report displays a YTD total for the end of each month. Problem is that when a given month has a zero value for the monthly expenditure, the report is displaying a zero value for the YTD total and failing to pick up the YTD from the previous month end....
Does anyone understand the developer's issue and/or have a solution?

You should be able to group off year, month, put the field in detail section, then create a summary from
that field. Right click the field, select insert summary, and select the groups, or footers as needed.
If that does not work, you may need to try running totals.

Performing calculation on text data fields - for Master Data infoobjects

Z_Attr5 -      N                     <Blank>
Without making use of any ABAP routine , What are the possible ways we can achieve this in Output.
Remember I want the validation of the fields at report level not at the ODS/DSO/MD InfoObject level.
Please do help me about the various possibilites.
Thanks in advance <removed by moderator>

Edited by: Siegfried Szameitat on Nov 7, 2008 9:15 AM

This can be done :
Create 3 formula variables of type replacement path.
While creating :
In the general tab, choose reference characteristic as Z_Obj.
In Replacement Path tab,
Replace variable with : Infoobject
Replace with            : Attribute value
In below drop down choose your attribute appropriately.
Now you can use this formula variables to create formula or CKF.
Hope this helps.

Hi Zabina,
Try this function module 'DURATION_DETERMINE'.
Give the factory calendar and unit as DAY

Are Cube organized materialized view with Year to Date calculated measure eligible for Query Rewrite

Hi,
Will appreciate if someone can help me with a question regarding Cube organized MV (OLAP).
Does cube organized materialized view with calculated measures based on time series Year to date, inception to date eg.
SUM(FCT_POSITION.BASE_REALIZED_PNL) OVER (HIERARCHY DIM_CALENDAR.CALENDAR BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT MEMBER WITHIN ANCESTOR AT DIMENSION LEVEL DIM_CALENDAR."YEAR")
are eligible for query rewrites or these are considered advanced for query rewrite purposes.
I was hoping to find an example with YTD window function on physical fact dim tables with optimizer rewriting it to Cube Org. MV but not much success.
Thanks in advance

I dont think this is possible.
(My own reasoning)
Part of the reason query rewrite works for base measures only (not calc measures in olap like ytd would be) is due to the fact that the data is staged in olap but its lineage is understandable via the olap cube mappings. That dependency/source identification is lost when we build calculated measures in olap and i think its almost impossible for optimizer to understand the finer points relating to an olap calculation defined via olap calculation (olap dml or olap expression) and also match it with the equivalent calculation using relational sql expression. The difficulty may be because both the olap ytd as well as relational ytd defined via sum() over (partition by ... order by ...) have many non-standard variations of the same calculation/definition. E.g: You can choose to use or choose not to use the option relating to IGNORE NULLs within the sql analytic function. OLAP defn may use NASKIP or NASKIP2.
I tried to search for query rewrite solutions for Inventory stock based calculations (aggregation along time=last value along time) and see if olap cube with cube aggregation option set to "Last non-na hierarchical value" works as an alternative to relational calculation. My experience has been that its not possible. You can do it relationally or you can do it via olap but your application needs to be aware of each and make the appropriate backend sql/call. In such cases, you cannot make olap (aw/cubes/dimensions) appear magically behind the scenes to fulfill the query execution while appearing to work relationally.

Date field difference calculation

Hi all,
I am new to Adobe and Java scripting so apologies if this has already been answered elsewhere - I have not been able to find it if it has.
I want to calculate the difference between two dates fields in hours and mins on a form.
I have two fields, both Date format (dd/mm/yyy HH:MM), a Start and End date and I want the difference between them in the Time format HH:MM.
Can anyone help me with the script for this? What I have so far is:
var strStart = this.getField("StartTime").value;
var strEnd = this.getField("EndTime").value;
if(strStart.length || strEnd.length)
var dateStart = util.scand("dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM",strStart);
var dateEnd = util.scand("dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM",strEnd);
var diff = dateEnd.getTime() - dateStart.getTime();
// One Day = (24 hours) x (60 minutes/hour) x
// (60 seconds/minute) x (1000 milliseconds/second)
var oneMin = 60 * 60 * 1000;
var mins = Math.floor(diff/oneMin);
event.value = util.printd("HH:MM",mins);
But this is not working...
Mary

The result can be formatted using:
// format result using "h:MM" format
event.value = util.printf("%,0 0.0f" + ":" + "%,002.0f", nHours, nMinutes);
One cannot use the date or time formats since the time values will be limited to the hours and minutes values for 1 day, so any time value that is over 23 hours 59 minutes is not possible.
A full script solution including document level functions for conversion of date strings to minutes and converting minutes to a time string:
// reusable document level functions;
function Time2Num(cFormat, cDate) {
// convert date value with format to number of minutes form Epoch date;
var oDate = util.scand(cFormat, cDate);
var nMins = null;
if(oDate == null) app.alert("Error converting " + cString + " using " + cForamt);
else nMins = oDate.getTime() / (1000 * 60);
return Math.floor(nMins);
} // end Time2Num format
function Num2Time(cFormat, nMins) {
// convert number of muniutes to h:MM or HH:MM format;
// return formatted string for valid formats;
// return null for invalid formats;
var cElapsed = null;
// test for nMins being a number;
if(isNaN(nMins)) {
app.alert("Minutes must be number",0, 0);
} else {
var nHours = Math.floor(nMins / 60);
var nMinutes = Math.floor(nMins % 60);
switch(cFormat) {
case "h:MM":
cElapsed = util.printf("%,0 0.0f" + ":" + "%,002.0f", nHours, nMinutes);
break;
case "HH:MM":
cElapsed = util.printf("%,002.0f" + ":" + "%,002.0f", nHours, nMinutes);
break;
default:
app.alert("Invalid format " + cFormat + "\nMust be \"HH:MM\" or \"h:MM", 0, 0);
break;
return cElapsed;
} // end Num2Time function
// end document level funcitons;
// custom calculation script;
event.value = ''; // clear result;
var strStart = this.getField("StartTime").value;
var strEnd = this.getField("EndTime").value;
if(strStart.length || strEnd.length) {
var nDateStart = Time2Num("dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM",strStart);
var nDateEnd = Time2Num("dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM",strEnd);
var nMins = nDateEnd - nDateStart;
// format result using "h:MM" format
event.value = Num2Time("h:MM", nMins);
// end custom calculation script;
