NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE & ICX:Date Language

Oracle documents says profile option value for is determined by session language, the NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE is set blank on both DB & Applicaion server.
Current Profile value "ICX:Date Language" is set to "American", I want this changed to "American English". How do I change it?
Any input is highly apreciated.
Thnx

ThnxWhat is your application release?
If you are on R12, it is not recommended to use this profile option -- Globalization Guide for Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 393861.1]
If you are on 11i, please see (Internationalization Update Notes for Oracle E-Business Suite 11i [ID 222663.1]). You can set this profile option at the Site, Application, Responsibility or User level -- Dates Appears in English After Upgrading to 11.5.10 or After Applying ATG-PF.H [ID 305367.1]

Change date language

Hi guys!
Using forms 10g , my application has a radio button that gives the user the possibility to select the language (french/english). I would like to change the way date is displayed depending on the user's choice. I use :
forms_ddl('alter session set nls_date_language=''FRENCH''')
forms_ddl('alter session set nls_date_language=''AMERICAN''')
to switch from example: 12-MAI-2007 to 12-MAY-2007. But it does not work. when I tried the alter command in SQL PLUS it works.
Do you have any idea?
thank you
gbardet

Yes, Kevin you are right., Instead,this note are obsolete Note:112389.1
Forms NLS settings override the NLS settings of the server.
Using FORMS_DLL ('ALTER SESSION SET .....'); will change the NLS_... in the
server not in Client.

kindly guide where i m wrong.
THanks in Advs

Where your database server is located does not matter, AIX or Windows or other os.
And AL32UTF8 would mean a Unicode database which means it may be used to store basically any language characters.
You need to look into client side locale settings, if e.g. windows pcs are setup properly or putty terminal configuration is correct.
Please download and use Oracle SQL Developer, as it is Unicode "aware" and can be used to verify character data.
In a Windows console window (cmd prompt), you need to take care of oem code page and matching char set part of NLS_LANG to indicate what's in use.

Date language

Hi all, this is my "stack":
Centos 5 + Oracle DB 10gR2 + Apache 2.0 + PHP 5
I localized oracle db in my language, italian, by setting the environment variables (NLS_LANGUAGE, NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE and so on...) and i can insert the dates in italian without problems (for ex.: 29-GIU-07) but when i use the php oci library to query the db i have to write the dates in english (then, if i query the db using iSQL*Plus i can see the dates in italian) and php shows me the dates in english too. My colleaagues with the same code, but in Windows (which is localized in italian), can use and see the dates in italian. How can i solve the problem?
Thanks.
UPDATE: i fixed the problem! The environment variables were set for the user "oracle" but not for the apache user, so i put the env. variables ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID,
NLS_LANGUAGE, NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE in the .bash_profile of the apache user. I hope this will be helpful for someone else with the same problem.

If you don't have permission to edit the apache user's bash_profile, you can also add the variables to the apachectl script in format:
VARIABLE-VALUE
export VARIABLE
a couple of mine are:
NLS_LANG=.AL32UTF8
export NLS_LANG
# Make sure the Oracle session sets the TimeZone to BST
ORA_SDTZ='Europe/London'
export ORA_SDTZ
make sure that you kill apache and then start again, not just a restart. If apachectl stop doesnt work to kill it, you may need something similar to
killall -9 -w httpd
Signal 9 will kill the apache process dead, use with care in production servers, see
http://www.kingcomputerservices.com/unix_101/sending_signals.htm
for details on the kill signals.

Master Data Language problem

After running our InfoPackage to extract master data text (such as 0item_categ text) using the default settings for a full extraction. We notice that the double byte characters are displayed as # symbols. We verified the R/3 and our BW/BI systems do have the correct language and Unicode support installed. Also our clients have the correct settings to display the Asian character sets. We checked the rsa3 on the R/3 side and see the correct characters but not on the BW/BI side. One thing we noticed is that any of the master data that is getting loaded to a PSA first works fine (such as 0matl_group) - it displays the correct characters but if the infoObject is a direct update (the ALE inbox and infoObject checked) it displays the # symbol just for the Asian character sets all other languages are displaying correctly - (there are 11 languages setup).
Any help in understanding or troubleshooting this would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

Sandeep,
Go to transaction RZ10. Select the instance profile.
Click on languages.
There check if JA is installed (there would be a check against JA if its installed)
Cheers
Prakash

Date Language in format fmDay, fmDD fmMonth, YYYY

Hello Apex People!
I'h showing a date column in a report.
How can I let the browser language decide, which language is used with
format fmDay, fmDD fmMonth, YYYY, so that for example a "german browser user" would see something like Sonntag, 12.11.2006, but an englisch user would see Sunday, 12.11.2006?
Thank you
Johann

You just need to alter the app in Globalisation to use Browser defined language. We have done this and it works a treat.

Removing Application data - languages

Hi all,
am I likely to make any problems for myself by uninstalling foreign languages from my 8900?
When clicking on Applications via the DTM, loads of languages are presented that I just don't need.
Can I go ahead & uncheck them?
Many thanks in advance

Yes, I did. I left only one language that I wanted (Spanish) - apart from English of course.

Date Formats in Oracle Applications Forms and Oracle Self Service

Can someone tell me what determines the Date format that appears on Oracle Applications Forms and Oracle Self Service ?
*1.* In Oracle HRMS,all dates i see on the Forms are of the Format "MM/DD/YYYY" but my NLS Parameters are not in this format .I'm giving the results for the NLS parameters below.I thought the date formats are determined by the NLS format.Is there something else that determines the date format appearing on Oracle Applications Forms ?
NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS
NLS_DATE_FORMAT     :DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE     :AMERICAN
NLS_LANGUAGE     :AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY     :AMERICA
NLS_INSTANCE_PARAMETERS
NLS_DATE_FORMAT     :DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE     :
NLS_LANGUAGE     :american
NLS_TERRITORY     :america
NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS
NLS_DATE_FORMAT     :DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE     :
NLS_LANGUAGE     :american
NLS_TERRITORY     :america
*2* What about the profile option : ICX_DATE_FORMAT_MASK ? Does it determine the Date Format for Self Service alone or does it impact the date format appearing on Oracle Applications Forms and the actual database also ?
*3* If I use a to_date function in ,say, a pl/sql function that i code for some custom requirements,what will be the output of the date format ? Does it take the format given in NLS paramaters or is it determined by anything else?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
Thanks for your reply ,but I'm still confused ..
Here are the profile options I'm seeing for one of my instance :
ICX: Date format mask - 12/31/1999
ICX: Date language - American English
ICX: Language - American English
ICX: NLS Sort - BINARY
ICX: Territory - United States
ICX: Numeric characters - NULL
NLS parameters are given in my original email.
In Self Service applications(OAF) ,the date format is appearing in "mm/dd/yyyy" format but when i login to Forms based applications ,I see the date format as "dd-mon-yyyy".What determines this date format ?
How can i make the date format to always return one format everywhere ,be it Self Service (OAF) or Oracle Forms ?
I'm getting date format related errors for my code because of default date formats changing intermittently when i log into Self Service.I want to know if there is anyway to prevent this from happening?
Thanks in advance.

Multi Language Support Setup

Hi Gurus,
We have currently upgraded from 11i to R12.1.2 and we have decided to USE MLS & NLS(Multi Language Support) for the very 1st time.We have 4 Languages (American,Spanish,French,Portuguese) so when we query for data in tl tables(apterms_tl,ra_terms_tl,fnd_responsibility_tl) we get four records for a single term_id because we are using 4 languages so we need to keep a language join. What I am doing is
Select * from ap_terms_tl where agent_id = 5 and language = USERENV('LANG'); which returns only one row with US as the language. Here is a sceneario where I am struck I want to see data in a different language like Spanish or french or Portuguese so how can i achieve that. what i am trying to do is
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE = 'BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE'; and then querying for
Select * from ap_terms_tl where agent_id = 5 and language = USERENV('LANG'); i get data in Portuguese. How can we achieve this from user level perspective. like when we register a Canadian USER and he wants to see American and vice -verse.
here are the profile options for NLS & MLS
PROFILE_NAME USER_NAME
ICX_DATE_FORMAT_MASK ICX: Date format mask
ICX_DATE_LANGUAGE ICX: Date language
ICX_LANGUAGE ICX: Language
ICX_NLS_SORT ICX: NLS Sort
ICX_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS ICX: Numeric characters
ICX_TERRITORY ICX: Territory
I tried setting up these profile Options but didn't work. I am struck Here(like where to set these profile options to make the MLS work).Let me explain the sceneriao
Here is what we are trying to achieve When a user from Canada login into Oracle Applications and runs a request set or a concurrent Program he has to see the output in Canadian Language Responsibility this should be done dynamically(changing the Language). You have give me a scenario like changing the preferences and setting the session languages can we dot it dynamically like as soon as the user logs in from Canada his session Language should be set to Canada Language.
I am just waiting for some help from the gurus.
Help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Krishna

Hi Hussien,
I able to see the languages in the tables and when i alter the session and I able to see the data in that particular Language.Even i log-in into oracle applications and click on Preferences and change the session Language Other than US i can see the screens in a different Language.Is there anything we can't do dynamically instead of user signing into Oracle Applications and change his session Language.
Like when the user logs-in from Canada then he can automatically see his country language.
Thanks & Regards

Thanks a lot!

to work in French languageWhat did you mean by "work in french" ?
Is this the output like below :
SQL> select * from toto;
select * from toto
ERREUR à la ligne 1 :
ORA-00942: Table ou vue inexistante
SQL> What is your OS ?
For Windows, run regedit, go to \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0 (or you HOME)
Then edit NLS_LANG parameter, and type :
FRENCH_FRANCE.xxxx
For Unix, more simple :
export NLS_LANG=FRENCH_FRANCE.xxxx
Just replace xxxx by your character set.

Enhancement International Prferences ---Date, Time, Language etc

Pre tiger, international settings allowed one to have English dates etc set despite region/language settings.
Tiger 'simplified' these settings by assuming that if you located your computer in (eg) Spain (which you need to for the correct time) all dates spoke Spanish. Also currency was assumed to be the Euro. Those people moving down to Spain from the UK -with Sterling based keyboards have a real inconvenience.
In short, could the Region - Date Language - Times - Numbers - Currency be separated without non-changeable assumptions

Converting date in french format

Hi All,
Hi All,
Please let me know if you have any idea
I am converting the date to French /infact multi lang
select to_char(sysdate,'Fmddth Month, yyyy','NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE =FRENCH') from dual
so this is giving me "8th Septembre, 2011"
but what i want is "8er Septembre, 2011" instead of "th" i need "er"
Thanks & Regards,
Dhana

Example 3-12 NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH, Month and Day NamesAs an example of how to use NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE, set the date language to French:
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE = FRENCH;
Enter a SELECT statement:
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'Day:Dd Month yyyy') FROM DUAL;
You should see output similar to the following:
TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DAY:DDMONTHYYYY')
Vendredi:07 Décembre 2001
When numbers are spelled in words using the TO_CHAR function, the English spelling is always used. For example, enter the following SELECT statement:
SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('12-Oct.-2001'),'Day: ddspth Month') FROM DUAL;
You should see output similar to the following:
TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('12-OCT.-2001'),'DAY:DDSPTHMONTH')
Vendredi: twelfth Octobre

NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE

Hi
My NLS_LANG = RUSSIAN_CIS.CL8MSWIN1251
So when I take forms the default NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE is russian. So the month in (DD-MON-YYYY) format appears as Russian. I want the month to come in English. I tried
FORMS_DDL(' ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=''AMERICAN'' ');
:TXT_DATE := trunc(sysdate);
(TXT_DATE datatype: I tried DATE and CHAR - Oracle forms 9i)
But still the month is displayed in Russian.
Any solutions?
Thanks & Regards
Sajan

Thanks Achim
But I solved be prolem as follows:
Instead of making NLS_LANG = RUSSIAN_CIS.CL8MSWIN1251 in the OS registry do that in the *.env file of your forms application.
So if u need enlish date give the NLS_LANG as russina in the env file and not in the registry. works fine provided the DB date language is english(AMERICAN)

Previous Saturday's date

I need to write a function that will return the previous Saturday's date from a date passed into the function.
On a similar note I need to be able to get Friday's date of 4 weeks from a specific date passed into the function.
Thank you in advance for answering this post and any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Adam

"APCs solution has the drawback that you need to provide the weekday in the date language of your session"
An easy workaround if you don't know the date language for the session:
last Saturday
SQL> SELECT NEXT_DAY(sysdate-7, TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('03-jan-1970','dd-mon-yyyy', 'nls_date_language = ENGLISH'), 'DAY'))
2 FROM dual;
NEXT_DAY(
22-APR-06Friday 4 weeks off:
SQL> SELECT NEXT_DAY(sysdate+28, TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('02-jan-1970','dd-mon-yyyy', 'nls_date_language = ENGLISH'), 'DAY'))
2 FROM dual;
NEXT_DAY(
26-MAY-06Just pick a date you know is the correct day of the week.
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_language = 'FRENCH';
Session altered.
SQL> SELECT NEXT_DAY(sysdate-7, TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('03-jan-1970','dd-mon-yyyy', 'nls_date_language = ENGLISH'), 'DAY'))
2 from dual;
NEXT_DAY(
22-AVR-06Voila, language independent.
The nls_date_language parameter is required in the TO_DATE to avoid
SELECT TO_DATE('22-apr-2006','dd-mon-yyyy') from dual;
SELECT TO_DATE('22-apr-2006','dd-mon-yyyy') from dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01843: not a valid monthWhen the date language is different.
