Date prompt to displayed in header&Format date format in header MM/DD/YYYY

we have a date prompt. Based on the date selection on prompt, it has to be appeared on the Report header. Actually RELEASED_DATE is timestamp format. we need to format this to dispaly only MM/DD/YYYY format in Report header section.
Report Name : <?$RELEASED_DATE?>
We are displaying the same RELEASED_DATE with timestamp in Report section
<?param@begin:CRSU_RELEASED_DATE?>

can you paste the timestamp being displayed?
You can use, format-date function or other, but its all based on the data you have for DATE.

Data is not displaying though Master Infoobject data has been maintained

Hi All,
I have created a Master Infoobject and maintained data manually.
Also activated the master data.
But Iam unable to see the data I manually entered, when Im trying to Display Data at the right click of the infoobject.
Can someone plz suggest me y this is happening?
Note: I have already checked the object in RSRV and it shows no error

Hi,
1.Can you please check that you have pressed "SAVE" button after doing the necessary editting in the maintenance screen of the master data...
2.Again please rightclick---->maintain master data, and check whether your records are present there or not..if there are not present, again maintain and save
3.Check whether your info object is active
4.are there any time dependent attributes...
if there are, i guess only the records valid for the current date will be displayed when you select display data option....check this by adding the records for which the current date lies between datefrom and dateto values.
5.Is there any DTP...or transformation, you have to schedule the DTP to update ...
Thanks,

Default date should be displayed in Locale's date short format in Prompt

Dear BI Gurus,
I would like to take your attention to resolve one of date format issue which we are currently facing.
We want to display Current_Date in locale's date short format ( For US: MM/DD/YYYY and for UK: DD/MM/YYYY) in a dashboard prompt. Also we need to pass the the prompt value to the report filter through presentation variable.
For this we used logical sql to get the default value as select Times.time_id from sh when times.time_id= Current_Date. Once I click on the preview button it was showing in locale's date short format. But when we place the prmpt in dashboard, the default date was coming up in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format. But since calendar picker is giving value in locale's date short format (For US: MM/DD/YYYY and for UK: DD/MM/YYYY), there is an inconsistency in the display format. So could you please provide any workaround to make them consistent.
Thnaks,
Siva Naga Hari.

Hi Vinay,
Thanks for reply.
We are looking for default date display format in dashboard prompt. i.e For US locale, default date and calendar picker should be displayed in MM/DD/YYYY and for UK locale, default and Calendar picker should be displayed in DD/MM/YYYY.
We don't have any problem in report output for different locales. Also we don't need to create 2 seperate reports for different locales. If we set the data format to [FMT:dateShort], it will display as per the locale's date short format. Please provide workaround to display in dashboard prompt.
Thanks,
Siva Naga Hari.

Change format date for Calendar Prompt!!!

Hello there,
For a date prompt when I choose *"Calendar"* in my control, the default format shown by the calendar is d/mm/yyyy.
I want to save the value of my date prompt into a Presentation variable with the format yyyy-mm-dd. What conversion function can be used to achieve this?. In oracle the easiest way is TO_CHAR(dateHere,'YYYY-MM-DD') but when I apply this in the Edit Formula of the prompt it gives me an error.
I know the date format for a Calendar object can be changed in the configuration file, but I want to avoid this, because I might affect other users.
Please help.
Thanks

Date Prompt result in Report Header

Hi,
I am hoping someone can help, I am just getting started with BI but already thinking what I need is not possible. I hope someone can prove otherwise.
I have a dashboard with several reports that when printed goes across 3-5 pages. There is a date prompt that is used to select the business date for which I want the data to show. What I need to show is the date of the data in the report header for every page that the report runs too.
I have set the result of the date prompt to set a presentation variable and have set the report header to show @{rptDate}. This works when on the dashboard, although shows TIMESTAMP '2011-09-01' which I would like formatted as 1 September 2011, but more importantly when printed to pdf it shows @{rptDate}
I have considered setting a report which just returns this date, or putting it in a report header, but that does not meet required formatting consistency, but also I then dont know how to repeat this at the top of multiple pages.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Simon

Thanks Deepak. I am using timecreated in the footer already but that is a different date. I require the ability to run the report for historic dates, and show the date the report contains, rather than the date it was run. ie Report header shows 31/08/11 even if it was generated on 2/9/11.

Date not being displayed in the custom format

Hi ,
I have a problem wherein i am unable to change the format of the date.
I need the date to be in the format 'January 10,2010.' however the date is being displayed as '1/10/10'. I have tried all options for the date formatting. I specified the custom format as 'MMMM D,YYYY' as mentioned in the SAP Library. I am trying to use the std custom options like YYYY-MM-DD, the date is not being dispalyed in the custom format provided by SAP either.
I have binded date from the context, used the Current Date field provided by SAP. Nothing works.
Its not working on the new form. However the old forms have the same kind of formatting and are being displayed as desired.
Please suggest as to what the issue could be.
Thanks,
Soumya.

Hi All,
Even I'm encountering the same issue. I'm trying to control the outputted date format programmatically.Please have a look.
data: v_int_date like sy-datum,
v_ext_date(10).
v_int_date = '20110201'
write v_int_date to v_ext_date MM/DD/YYYY.
Here I've tried to convert the date to external format using a fixed format(MM/DD/YYYY). But still it's getting outputted in the format DD/MM/YYYY only as that's the way its defined in the User Master!
Is there any solution for this? How can I 'override' defaults in the SAP User Master?
Thanks,
Mahesh

Display date prompt in crystal report output

Hi There,
In my report output the values entered in date prompt(range) is not displayed.
I've prompt that is created on document created on field. The properties of prompt are
Posting date...... date.........static values
value field : ERDAT.....
value options:
optional prompt: false
allow custom values: true
allow multiple values : false
allow discrete values: false
allow range values: true

Hi Raj,
I believe you're trying to display the start date and the end date of the date range parameter.
Create a formula called 'start':
Minimum(?Postingdate) //This formula extracts the start date from the date parameter
Similarly, create another formula called 'end':
Maximum(?Postingdate) //This extracts the end date
Place these formulae on the desired report section.
P.S: You may even do this in a single formula.
Hope this helps!

Date and number display format

Hello all,
I am new to Adobe Form, and I am quite unimpressed with how difficult it is to do the most simple things.
I have managed one way or another to solve all my problems until now, but this one got me stuck.
I have date and number fields in my form, and here is what I want to do but cannot:
- I need these fields to be displayed using the defaults date and number settings of the SAP user who is generating the form. This one is really hard for me to figure out.
- I need some other fields to be displayed in a specific format depending on a variable in the context of my form. I imagine this could be done using scripting, but how to change the display format of a field via scripting?
Anyone has an idea of how that can be achieved?
Thank you.

Hi Thomas,
For these kind of issues you will get many answers if you search the forum.
If your requirement is to display the current date in the form, just drag and drop the "Current date" UI element from the Library palette -> Custom.
If it is to get the date from SAP and display, pass date to the context node and just drag and drop the field into the form from the data view.
Check the following wiki by Chintan. It explains some common scenarios in javascript.
[JavaScript Part 1|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/JavaScriptforCommonScenarios-PartI]
[JavaScript Part 2|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/JavaScriptforCommonScenarios-PartII]
Use an 'if' condition, check the value and based on the value you can make the field hide/visible in the form.
Hope this will help.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanoosh

OBIEE date prompt format yyyy-mm-dd

Dear All,
We did migration from obi 10g to 11g (version 11.1.1.7.0) .
I have troubles with conversion of date prompt:
My date format is dd.MM.yyyy, but when I pass date prompt into sql it is in format YYYY-MM-DD.
How can I change that my date prompt will always stay in format dd.mm.yyyy?

Hi,
There are couple of ways we can do the date format.
Please refer my blog.I have provided step by step implementation with screenshots.
http://satyaobieesolutions.blogspot.in/2013/06/dateformat-converting-using-evaluate.html
http://satyaobieesolutions.blogspot.in/2013/06/date-format-change.html
1. Using evaluate function we can modify the format.
ex:
USING EVALUATE
cast(Evaluate('to_char(%1,%2)',"Inventory"."Catalog"."dbo"."Dim_W_DAY_D_Inv_Unallocated_Run_Month"."CALENDAR_DATE",'YYYYMon') as varchar(10))
or,
cast(Evaluate('to_char(%1,%2)',<<COLUMN HERE>>,'YYYY-Mon') as varchar(10))
2. Open your report then click column properties then select Data format then select custom then here you can put which format you want.
Hope this help's
Thanks,

Date Prompt Format issue in OBIEE

Hi,
I am using a Date column in a Dashboard prompt. When i select a date in Calendar its showing up the Date in a correct format *'D/M/YYYY'*. But as soon as i click on GO button the format changes to *'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'*.
This format is passed to report and report throw an error *'A date value was expected (received "2010-01-26 00:00:00")'*.
I searched metalink and blogs and got a patch to resolve this issue. But still after running that patch i am getting the same error. None of the workarounds given are working.
Please respond if you have any solution for this.
Thanks
Swami

Hi,
What is the data format for the colum, you are comparing with the dashboard prompt, in the Answers request? Specify it to custom and use [FMT:dateShort] for Custom Date Format.
Thanks

How to format report date prompt as MM/DD/YY instead of MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS

Hi,
In a report I have opportunity close dates as prompts. When using the calendar picklist in responding to the date range prompts it displays the date with the full timestamp such as 12/31/2009 12:00:00 AM.
Some users don't want to see the full timestamp in the date picker, just 12/31/2009 for example. Is there a way to truncate that full timestamp?
Thanks,
Dan

change the column formula to
cast(opportunity close date as date)
This is going to give the users Default calender control.

Displaying header with data binded to the R/3 system

hi
I have developed an application which uses Interactive form to generate the Invoice PDF by getting data from back end system R/3.
Now my problem is that the Header which I need to display contains some data binded with the back end system and that the Header needs to be displayed on each and every page of the Invoice.
I need to know how can we set the header so that the header is displayed on each page with the data binded to the back end system.
Immediate help would be appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
kris

Hi Gopi,
There is a limitation for your requirement.The runtime data will not change in each page or it will be blank in case of header.
I have used an alternative for the forms designed from SFP .I have called the PDF in a loop in the driver program. Then a new pdf will generated for each case.
May be the alternative is assign the values through scripting.
