How to Change Date Format according to the Locale/Country of Portal User

Hi,
In a webdynpro applicaiton, how to chage the Date Format according to the Locale/Country of Portal User.
Consider for INDIA: mm/dd/yyyy
Consider for UK: yyyy/mm/dd
So when i select the date from the Date Picker[input ui element bound to date context variable], the date format should be displayed accroding the portal users country/locale.
Creating a simple type for every date format in the dictionary would not be the right solution.
Please help.
Thanks,
Regards,

How to change data format from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY

HI,
How can we change data format from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY in Prompt and Report Level in obiee 11g.
Please help me ont this.
Thanks

Hi,
In Prompt:
Try using EVALUATE function.
Eg: Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'DD-MON-YYYY')
Report level:
Try this in the column formula-
Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'MM/DD/YYYY')
(or)
EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' AS CHARACTER ( 30 ), "Dim- Date".Start Date, 'MON-YY')

How to change date format in OBIEE

Hello
I have a need to change the date column to a varchar column in OBIEE..
The date column stores data in the format of 'YYYY/MM/DD', I need to change this to a varchar column with this format 'YYYYMM'..
Since I am pointing directly at the transactional database, I can't make any changes at the database level, so I will have to do it in OBIEE layer, any ideas how it could be done?
Many thanks in advance!

How to change date format in BR?

Hi all!
Does anybody know how to change date format in BR?
I created global variable with type DateAsNumber and usage type run-time promt and used it in BR
Then I launched a BR on the form and chose necessary date. Date stored in MM/DD/YYYY format, but I need DD/MM/YYYY.
I tried to change format through Planning but then I recieved uncorect result(for instance, I selected 4(April)/14/2009 but it was stored as 4/02/2010)

Hi,
the date is always stored the same in Essbase. I think it's YYYYMMDD.
You can change the format you enter the date in webforms and business rules by changing your planning application settings (Preferences->Display Options).
Cheers.

How to change Data Format

I'm using Sql Developer vers. 1.1.2. for Oracle 8.1.7 and I can't change Data Format. Even if first I run "alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD/MM/YYYY';" and after I run "select data_field from table;" in the SQL Worksheet, it goes on reporting the field in format "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS". It seems to me as if the "alter session" doesn't work.
I've got a problem with decimal separator too. I mean when I run "select salary_field from table;" and the item is for example 2300,32 the report gets null column even if I've set Decimal Separator to "," from Tools>NSL Parameters>Decimal Separator.
I need help.
Thanks in advance
Marco

Marco,
It isn't really a great help, as you need to access 8.1.7, but the current version doesn't have this problem - it uses the current NLS_DATE_FORMAT setting to format the date, regardless of the NLS preferences.
I have vague memories (1.1.2 has largely faded from my memory) that when they first introduced the NLS preferences that they took precedence over the DB NLS settings (ie date formatted in SQL Developer based on NLS preferences).
On the decimal separator, I have other vague memories of problems if you didn't set both the Decimal and Group separator, although a quick search on the forum didn't highlight something that seemed the same as your problem. After logging on (ie with the NLS preferences as the DB NLS settings), what do you get if you the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS parameter in the NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS view? This should have two characters - the first one being the decimal separator and the second being the group separator.

How to Change Date Format in the Title of the report.

Hi Everyone,
I want to change the Format of the Date in the title(Query run Date)taken by report through the variable "&Date" .
The Format available is DD-MON-YY
Desired Format is DD-MON-YYYY.
Please let me know the same as early as possible.

Hi NP,
What I try to do is to reformat the default &date inserted into the Title for Discovere Plus and Viewer. When you edit the Title for the report, you can select the date from the Insert dropdown list to display the date when the report was run. The Date (shown &Date in the Title) has a default format of DD-MON-YY. As I have other date parameters displyed in the Title that have the format of DD-MON-YYYY specified by the user, I want to have the &Data in the same format. Please advise me how to achieve this.
Thank yiou very much,
J.K.

How to change date format for FM ?

Experts !
i am trying to use FM DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT. for this FM the input date formate is mmddyyyy
but my variable returns in yyyymmdd. bcoz of that my FM doesnt understand the input date.
how do i do this? i am very poor in abap skills so will not do too much of codeing to convert.
thanks

Thanks Gharu !
I do get the correct formate using your code. but the problem if i debug my code goes till the FM and then it kicks it out. i dont know why.
The data type what you have define in your code is not what i have in my code. is it bcoz of that.
In your code..l_date type sydatum
in my code ...l_date like sydatum <-----Do you think i sould make it type ?
Also, in your code ..
l_olddate(8) type c,
l_newdate(8) type c,
while in my code..
l_olddate LIKE sy-datum
l_newdate LIKE sy-datum
Do u think i should change data type ?
If yes , then it will be big change for me. can you make it according to my DATA TYPE ?
thanks..i am waiting....

How to change date format for prentation variable

Hi experts
In my prompt the date format is MM/DD/YYYY . I have created one presentation variable for that but i want to use this in Formula as well in Title as: DD-MON-YY
So how can i achieve it..
Thanks in advance
Regards
Frnds

Hi
i think this can't be done through any code like oracle uses to_char, to_date function.
Just follow this
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/12/19/oracle-bi-ee-101332-dates-dates-and-dates/
With this, wherever you have this column, you will be getting this format dates..
if you don't want in reports you can change it by mentioning the data format for that paricular column in report, but for the same column, if you want different format at different places (for prompts), you can't do that..
