How convert date/time from xml in xdp(Designer)?

Hi, i want to convert date/time format from xml in Designer, date/time value in xml is NOT in common format YYYY-MM-DD (if is in a common format i can do this with pattern)
I have a "DateTime" Field in Xdp can get from Xml date and time:
In XML <DateTime>DD-MM-YYYY</DateTime> i want to convert in XDP in DateTime Field in "DD-April-YYYY"
Can i do this?

You can do this way..
Bind the date field to your XML tag.
Set the display pattern for the date field.
In the initialize event of the date field place the following code.
Set JavaScript as language.
var dtStr = this.rawValue;
var pos1=dtStr.indexOf("-");
var pos2=dtStr.indexOf("-",pos1+1);
var strMonth=dtStr.substring(0,pos1);
var strDay=dtStr.substring(pos1+1,pos2);
var strYear=dtStr.substring(pos2+1);
//Assign the formatted value to the Date field.
this.rawValue = strYear + "-" + strMonth + "-" + strDay;
Thanks

hi shanu,
the pbm is solved, now i m able to access XXX no. in action class & i m able to validate it. The only thing which i want to know is it ok to declare static ArrayList as i have done in this code. i mean will it affect the performance or functionality of the system.
pls have a look at the following code snippet.
public class XMLValidator {
static ArrayList strXXX = new ArrayList();
public void validate(){
factory.setValidating(true);
parser = factory.newSAXParser();
//all factory code is here only
parser.parse(xmlURI, new XMLErrorHandler());
public void setXXX(String pstrXXX){
strUpn.add(pstrXXX);
public ArrayList getXXX(){
return strXXX;
class XMLErrorHandler extends DefaultHandler {
String tagName = "";
String tagValue = "";
String applicationRefNo = "";
String XXXValue ="";
String XXXNo = "";
XMLValidator objXmlValidator = new XMLValidator();
public void startElement(String uri, String name, String qName, Attributes atts) {

public void characters(char ch[], int start, int length) {
if ("Reference".equals(tagName)) {

How to remove Unicode from XML file

I get following error when unmarshal xml:
[java] org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x15) was found in the element content of the document.
Anyone know how to remove Unicode from xml file? Can I remove the unicode by rebuild the file?
Thanks

These sort of error usually occur when you're using a different character encoding to read the file than the one you wrote it with. Perhaps if you were to post the problem section of the file and/or the code that created it in the first place.

How to subtract time from dateTime in xquery?

How to subtract time from dateTime in xquery??
In ALDSP i tried to use the function xf:add-days but it is showing an error saying invalid function name. I think this namespace is not valid for ALDSP. Is there is any way to add this function in ALDSP???

xquery functions and operators documentation is here :
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/
It sounds like you want to ..
op:subtract-dayTimeDuration-from-dateTime
this is not an xquery function that you can call, it is an xquery operation defined by the specification
I believe you can simply use the '-' operator to use that operation.
<newDateTime>
{ $myDateTime - $myTime }
</newDateTime>

Converting date format from in mapping

hi xi friends.
in my scenario i just want to convert date format from 12022007 which is file to 12.02.2007 which is in target bapi.
waiting for u.
bye.
regards.
seeta ram.

Hi,
if I understood you correctly you want to transform from ddMMyyyy (your format in the external file) to yyyyMMdd (format of ABAP datatype DATS):
Then all you need to do is to use the standard function TransformDate (as already described above).
Enter in the field "Format of source Date": ddMMyyyy
Enter in the field "Target Format": yyyyMMdd
That's it.

Helmut

Convert Date to Calendar week in Query Designer

Hi experts,
Is it possible to convert date to week in the query designer?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best Regards,
Rose

Hi,
Can you please explain more about virtual char you mentioned?
What i am actually doing is i am using a formula variable (getting the value from customer exit) and i based the calculation of other keyfigures basing on this value. The input value.. (data type date ) does not filter my query output.. it is only purely used for calculating other keyfigure values. The data types (Dimension Settings ) available in formula variable are only quantity, amount, pice and number, date and time.. there is no week there. So currently I am using the date. If I can convert date to week then.. I can make my query a lot simpler.
Thanks for your reply...

I have attached the xml.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for the reply. You must have seen the xml which i have attached.Here is the .mxml code which i have written:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="accountData.send()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.*;
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
[Bindable]
private var AccountInformation:ArrayCollection;
private function AccountHandler(evt:ResultEvent):void
    AccountInformation = evt.result.xml.AccInfo;
private function faultHandler(evt:FaultEvent):void
    var faultMessage:String = "Could not connect with XML file";
    Alert.show(faultMessage, "Error opening file");
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HTTPService id="accountData" url="pgm1.xml" result="AccountHandler(event)" fault="faultHandler(event)" />
<mx:DataGrid x="20" y="24" width="950" dataProvider="{AccountInformation}" />
</mx:Application>
This reads and displays all the rows. But I want to display single row at a time with sometime time gap between the display of two consecutive rows.I am new to flex and this is my first code, so need your help on this.
I hope i have made myself clear. If there is anything else please let me know.
Looking forward to some solution.
Thanks in advance.

Convert Data type from Oracle Data time string to SQL Date time data type

I have a time stamp column pulled from oracle into a SQL server db table varchar datatype column.
Now i want to change that column to date time.
Following is the data present in the table:
01-APR-11 02.15.00.026000 AM -08:00
01-APR-11 04.15.00.399000 AM -08:00
01-APR-11 06.15.00.039000 AM -08:00
I want to convert this data into sql server datetime data type.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Sam.
I am unable to find the solution in other sites which is why I have posted it in Oracle forum for seeking solution.
Thanks in Advance.
Sam.

Sam,
How are you actually loading the data into SQL*Server - are you using something like an Oracle gateway, BCP or another Microsoft utility of some sort ?
If you are using an Oracle problem then we may be able to help but if using a Microsoft utility then you should really follow up with Microsoft to know what format the data should be in to use a Microsoft utility.

How to convert date-time according to the Time Zone the client

Urgent! Help wanted!
I extract a date-time field (which is GMT time) from the central database but I need to convert it accordding to the TimeZone of the user and also the so-called winter time and summer time in the local. Any one has any good solution?
Thanks.

Use a Calendar, Timezone and Locale objects like this,
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("Germany/Berlin");
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(tz, Locale.GERMAN);
long date = 0; // assign your central database value to this variable
cal.setTime(new Date(date));
Now you can use the Calendar object 'cal' to retrieve the time according to the set locale and timezone.
These objects provide tonnes of features for finding out timezones and day light savings times. So check out the APIs as well.
I hope this helps you out.
