Date format in Oracle reports

Hello everyone,
I need my report ro show dates with HH:MM:SS. But the report only shows dates as DD-MON-RR. I think I chose all the correct format masks in the report builder (DD-MON-RR HH24:MI:SS), and in the rtf tags.
Another point is that all the date fields in the report , if I look at the Property inspector, have Width 9, and I can not change it because the column type is Database-Scalar.
Any ideas?
Thank you

Hi Olga,
If the Date in the database is date (not datetime) means you cannot use a DD-MON-RR HH:MI:SS in your reports.
If you want to show date with time means, change the properties in Oracle Forms of that date field and assign datetime as datatype.
So that the value inserted to the field will become datetime. and automatically if you use this column in your report you will get date along with time.
Hope this clears...

Printing Chinese Date format using Oracle Reports

Hi ,
I need to print the date as for e.g, 2006 4 12 (Year Month and Day) with a chinese character after each of the three components, representing the year, Month and Day.
When running the report with the format mask as RRRR Mon DD, I get the chinese character for the Month component and not for the year and day. I tried with different format masks available and also tried with somehting which is not in list as well. But, I couldn't get the intended format.
Is there anyone who has done this before? If so, pl. let me know the way to get this done.

Getting a report in excel format from oracle report builder 10gDS release2

I want to get a report in excel format from oracle report builder 10gDS release2.
Is there ne method by which minimum effort is required for changing already made reports .
I have searched for it on internet :-
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/state/content/navId.3/navSetId._/vtTopicFile.htmlhelp_rwbuild_hs%7Crwwhthow%7Cwhatare%7Coutput%7Coutput_a_simpleexcel~htm/
Example, given in the last of the page opened from the above url, is not working.
Can neone plz explain the example and how to use it
Thanks & Regards
JD

Ok, for the release 2 its quite straightfoward, in your calling form you would have something like this code:
declare
     pl_id ParamList;
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
v_rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
v_repsrv     VARCHAR2(100):= 'yourreportserver';
v_serv varchar2(50) := 'yourservername' ;
begin
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
if not id_null(pl_id) then
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
end if;
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESTYPE' ,TEXT_PARAMETER,'Screen' );
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM' ,TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO' );
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('yourreport');     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,RUNTIME);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER, v_repsrv);
set_report_object_property(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE );
set_report_object_property(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'SPREADSHEET' );
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid,pl_id);
v_rep := substr(v_rep,length(v_repsrv)+2,10 ) ;
end;
I have plenty of reports being formated to excel with this same method so it should work for you, the only diference with my previous code is this line.
set_report_object_property(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'SPREADSHEET' );
The rest remains untouched.
Hope it helps.

Need guidline to attach Date picker in Oracle report

I need to take the input from the date picker in oracle report (in runtime parameter form). Pls. help me if any one can

Do not use the built in parameter form, but create your own. If you are calling Reports from Forms, create a Form where you can enter the parameters. For the date parameter, you can create the Forms field with a date picker.

Configuring date format in Oracle 8.1.7

I have just unloaded records from tables into an sql script file with insert statements. However, the date format for the records that I have unloaded is MM/DD/YYYY. When I try to run this sql script, oracle gives an error, saying it's not a valid month.
Oracle date format is DD-MMM-YY. How can I change the date format in oracle, so that I could insert these records in?

If your script does not have explicit TO_DATE conversions (which it should, by the way), like:
insert into t values (to_date('11/21/2002', 'mm/dd/yyyy'));then you can set the default date format to match the format in your script. So, if your script looks like:
insert into t values ('11/21/2002');then:
alter session set nls_date_format = 'mm/dd/yyyy';prior to running the script.

Date Format Display on report

Is there a way to set a custom date format on a report column? I am trying to use a format mask and it doesn't appear to be working. Maybe someone can spot my mistake:
Query: Hours Worked = Clock_IN - Clock_OUT
Format mask for Clock In/Clock Out - DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI (from list)
Format mask for Hours Worked column: HH:MI (hand typed)
actual display (Timecard ID is edit link):
Timecard     Employee     Vehicle     Clock IN     Clock OUT     Hours Worked
6     20044     26045     30-JUN-2006 13:28     30-JUN-2006 13:31     +000000000 00:03:43.000000

Date format in Discovere Reports

We have created a workbook with a parameter which is supposed to show up an LOV for a parameter in the MON-RR format. Now this LOV shows up
correctly in the Discoverer Desktop edition as MON-RR format, but when we view
the same in Discoverer Viewer it shows up as DD-MON-RRRR.
Earlier we had got a partial resolution on this issue (TAR 3891425.996), wherein by changing the ICX
profile value in Oracle Applications, we are able to set the date mask to MON-R
R.
But now the above profile applies to all the reports and all the dates show up as MON-RR, whereas we want to continue showing the date in DD-MON-RRRR forma
t in some of the reports.
How can this be achieved ?

HI Kishore
Thanks for your reply i checked all the things but with no success. do think there could be any other place where i should check .
1. nqsconfig date format
its same for both the two installations
DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mi:ss" ;
DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd" ;
TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "hh:mi:ss" ;
2. make sure that you didn't save date format in column properties from front-end
Just checked and we havan't saved anything in column properties .. even i created new report as well but still format was same ..
3. Did you mention anything in connection pool settings to set date format.
no we havan't mention anything in connection pool
4. Make sure that you are connecting to same database, and date format set for date is same here and there
yahh both the two installatiosn are connected to same database .. but not sure about "date format set for date is same here and there
" hw i can check this
finally, check this: http://108obiee.blogspot.com/2009/04/changing-date-format-mask-in-javascript.html
no its not on one column .. its to all the date format columns on all the reports .. so i think its not case with me .
please let me know if you need more info

Date format in Oracle 10g XE

I'm using Oracle 10g XE on Windows Vista and I'm curious as to what determines the date format.
According to the globalization section in the Oracle installation guide the NLS_DATE format is dependent on the NLS_LANGUAGE setting. In my database the NLS_LANGUAGE is American, the NLS_TERITORY is America and all other NLS_* parameters are blank (default).
From that I would expect the default date format to be mon-dd-yyyy.
However when I run SELECT sysdate FROM dual the date is reported as dd/mm/yyyy and this was the default format when I used SQL Developer and when I used the command line SQL*Plus. Obviously something else is determining the date format, but what?

Your settings are dependent on NLS_LANG on the client.
They are derived from (assuming Windows) the regional settings of the O/S.
This means in Western Europe the default 'American_America.WE8MSWIN1252'.
This makes the default NLS_DATE_FORMAT dd-mm-yy.
You can override this in the registry, or set up an after logon trigger.

Problem with date format from Oracle DB

Hi,
I am facing a problem with date fields from Oracle DB sources. The date format of the field in DB table is 'Date base type is DATE and DDIC type is DATS'.
I mapped the date fields to Date characters in BI. Now the data that comes to PSA is in weird format. It shows like -0.PR.09-A
I have changing the field settings in DataSource to internal and external and also i have tried mapping these date fields to text fields with out luck. All delivers the same format.
I have also tried using conversion routines like, CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_INPUT to change format. It also delivers me the same old result.
If anybody of you have any suggestions or if anybody have you experienced such probelms, Please share your experience with me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Varada

Thanks for all your reply. I can only the solutions creating view in database. I want some solution to be done in BI. I appreciate if some of you have idea in it.
The issue again in detail
I am facing an issue with date fields from oracle data. The data that is sent from Oracle is in the format is -0.AR.04-M. I am able to convert this date in BI with conversion routine in BI into format 04-MAR-0.
The problem is, I am getting data of length 10 (Output format) in the format -0.AR.04-M where the month is not in numericals. Since it is in text it is taking one character spacing more.
I have tried in different ways to convert and increased the length in BI, the result is same. I am wondering if we can change the date format in database.
I am in puzzle with the this date format. I have checked other Oracle DB connections data for date fields in BI, they get data in the format 20.081.031 which will allow to convert this in BI. Only from the system i am trying creating a problem.

Using Web Service as Data source (Pluggable Data Source) in Oracle Reports

Anyone using Webservice as a pluggable data source in oracle 10g reports.(Report builder version:10.1.2.0.2)? We need to be able to use web service as one of the data source to create reports.Tried the following and ran into issues:
Imported the wspds.jar fle from oracle plugin exchage. When tried using it received the following error in oracle reports trace file.
04/26 22:27:22 java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.xml.parser.schema.XSDBuilder.build([Loracle/xml/parser/v2/XMLDocument;Ljava/net/URL;)Ljava/lang/Object;
By troubleshooting issue found out that xmlparserv2.jar in 10g is newer than xmlparserv2.jar in 9i. wspds.jar is using xmlparserv2.jar in 9i as it was developed and tested for 9i only. Believe there is no newer wspds.jar file developed specifically for 10g?
Is there a better/standard solution to use webservice as data source in oracle 10g reports? Does later version of oracle reports supports webservice as a data source without any additional plugins? Any suggestion would be helpful.

Please provide support for the above request.
It appears that Oracle 10g reports doesn't support Web Service as pluggable data source. Is this option is available in Oracle 11g Reports or Oracle Discoverer Or OBIEE?
