GK, try this...
decode(instr(packagename.functionname(param1 ,param2),'2400'), 0, to_date(to_char(to_date(rtrim(packagename.functionname(param1 ,param2),'(PT)'), 'Month dd, yyyy "at" hh24mi'),'mm/dd/yyyy hh24mi'),'mm/dd/yyyy hh24mi'),

  • 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.

  • Problem with date format mask 'D'

    I am experiencing an extremely thorny problem with the date format mask ‘D’. I am trying to use it to check whether today is a Monday. The variable v_temp_day is set to sysdate. For the last 4 weeks the code has behaved erratically – giving a different result at 02:00 than at 10:30 even though it is only taking account of the date. In desperation I inserted a debug statement formatting the date in a variety of ways – with interesting results. Oracle is somehow managing to tell us that today is simultaneously Monday and Tuesday depending on which format mask you choose. Anyone got any thoughts or suggestions?

  • Problem With Date Format Mask

    Hi everyone,
    when i set the date format mask in any field..
    if i enter any wrong date format messages are coming in to loop
    is this is bug of format mask?
    how can i avoid this..
    thanks in advance
    anand mohan

    It should not take you into a loop. If the "validation" against the format mask fails, a message is displayed, and the focus is returned to the field which caused the problem. Do you maybe have some method or event associated with the field which could be causing the circular behavior?

  • Problem with  date format "dd-MM-yyyy"

    hi all,
    i am using jdev 10.1.3.2
    My application ADF Swing app.
    in my database i have a table employee which contains "birthday".
    my problem is that i must use date format"dd-MM-yyyy".
    i added this format into "formatinfo.xml" file.
    than i choose it in my EO.
    i create a form which contains employees.
    for example i have an employee with a birthday=25-10-1970
    in my text field if user puts "1970-10-25"'which is not the best format) he will have a correct result "25-10-1970"
    but if user puts "25-10-1970" he will have as result "21-02-0031" which is not the real value.
    please help me.
    thanks.
    PS: i did some research before posting but i didn't find yet

    Rouz,
    Did you try what i said before?
    * Open you EntityObject
    * Expand the attribute tree
    * Choose your DOB attribute
    * Choose the Control hints pane on the right
    * Choose Formater: Simple date format
    * Choose Format mask dd-MM-yyyy
    Run your application and try it.
    This is how i change the format and it works perfectly.
    I uses the correct format to show the date and it enables me to edit the date using the format mask dd-MM-yyyy
    Edit: I just tried it myself. I can only reproduce it by removing my mask. Ergo, the application expects the default american format yyyy-MM-dd. By entering a date in the format dd-MM-yyyy the framework will convert it to yyyy-MM-dd and you'll end up with 0031-02-21.
    CONCLUSION follow the steps i discribed above to set your mask and you'll be fine.

  • Problem with Date formatting

    Hi Tim,
    I am facing some issues with formatting the date using XMLP. The following is the sample XML data file i am using:
    <LIST_G_HEADER>
    <G_HEADER>
    <QUOTE_HEADER_ID>1455</QUOTE_HEADER_ID>
    <QUOTE_NUMBER>2027</QUOTE_NUMBER>
    <QUOTE_VERSION>1</QUOTE_VERSION>
    <QUOTE_NAME>Test GM Report - Rabindra</QUOTE_NAME>
    <SOURCE_NAME>Fletcher, MR. Paul</SOURCE_NAME>
    <QUOTE_DATE>27-OCT-2005</QUOTE_DATE>
    <CURRENCY_CODE>GBP</CURRENCY_CODE>
    </G_HEADER>
    </LIST_G_HEADER>
    The formatting i use for my date field i.e <QUOTE_DATE>, ends up either with NO formatting or giving me an error "[010906_114656657][][ERROR] Invalid XSD string: 27-OCT-2005 (XMLP Template Viewer)". The default formatting available with the form field dialog box (MS-Word) feature also doesn't work.
    I have the following formatting for this field in the form field:
    <?format-date:QUOTE_DATE; 'MEDIUM' ?>
    When i read the user guide, it reads that the date should be in the canonical format i.e: YYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+HH:MM
    However i am not getting the date from the base table's in this format. Is the error happening due to incorrect format or is there some other reason behind this? Please let me know, how can i overcome this issue.
    Thx,
    Nitin

    As i mentioned in another thread
    substring function and date format
    Please use this standards
    <?xdofx:expression?>
    for extended SQL functions or
    <?xdoxslt:expression?>
    for extended XSL functions.
    Use like
    <?xdofx:rpad(LAST_NAME),30, ’x’)?>
    <?xdofx:Instr(’abcabcabc’,’a’,2))?>
    <?xdofx:upper(char)?>

  • URGENT !!!!   Problem with Date format MM/DD/YYYY in oracle database to BW

    Hi
    I am wondering if somebody can help me urgently.
    I have oracle database where date is of the format MM/DD/YYYY and I am loading data into BW. DATE data type
    Date in oracle database: 3/30/2007
    First when I used InfoObject ZDATE (with 0DATE) reference (DATS data type) data load failed saying that
    'Value '30-MAR-0 ' of characteristic 0DATE is not a number with 000008 spaces'
    Then I created ZDATE InfoObject as CHAR Type (Length 10) with PDATE Conversion Routine.
    when I created datasource using DB Connect and checked the contents using 'Display Table Contents' after creating data source the data field distorted as
    AR/-0/30-M
    After data load. when I checked PSA
    The Date records look same as AR/-0/30-M
    In cube the field appeared as  30-MAR-0  (last digit of year disappearing)
    In BEx report also it looks like 'AR/-0/30-M'
    Can somebody help me as quickly as possible.
    What should I do if i want to still use DATS data type for ZDATE?
    should I change date format in database if so to what?
    If I should use CHAR type with PDATE or any other routine can somebody give me the routine to have the date in the report exactly as it appears in database?
    I also tried changing date format in user profile...settings. But still its the same.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Snrella,
    You can solve this by converting the date format from oracle to the SAP internal date format  using an ABAP routine in the transfer rules.
    Assuming the oracle data field name is ZODATE then here's the ABAP you can use in the transfer rules. Create an ABAP routine transfer rule from ZODATE to your ZDATE infoobject, and then put this ABAP code there. (this code assumes that the format of the date from oracle is MM/DD/YYYY).
    concatenate tran_structure-/BIC/ZODATE+6(4) tran_structure-/BIC/ZODATE(2) tran_structure-/BIC/ZODATE+3(2) into result.
    Hope this helps.

    thanksA java.util.Date is just a long. So when you said "System.out.println("Current date and time is: "+date);" you called the "toString()" method of java.util.Date, which formats it to a String the way you see. You have the date formatted the way you want in the "rdate" String, so try "System.out.println("Current date and time is: " + rdate);" and see if that works out for you.

  • Problem with date format using TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP

    I'm using fm TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP to upload an xls file.
    I've the following problem the date in the spreadsheet is 01.01.2010 the result in the internal table after using the fm is 01.jan.2010. What must i do to get 01.01.2010 in the internal table?
    My setting in sap for the date format is DD.MM.YYYY

    Hi,
    What is type and size of your internal table field? Covert your excel column to text field. Now it is of type date i hope.
    Best option is, always have the value in excel in YYYYMMDD (SAP standard format) and internal table field as of type sy-datum.
    After uploading use WRITE TO statement to a character variable to convert the date as per user settings. Your current logic may not work if the date setting is different.
    Thanks,
    Vinod.

  • Problem with date format conversion

    Hi All,
    I was trying to load from a flat-file to an ods through psa. the file has a date format which is mm/dd/yyyy. i want to convert that to yyyymmdd. i created a custom object ZDAT for this field of type char with length 10. i wrote a code in transfer routine for the conversion as follows:
    DATA : ZT1 LIKE SYST-DATUM,
    STR1 TYPE STRING,
    STR2 TYPE STRING,
    STR3 TYPE STRING.
    SPLIT TRAN_STRUCTURE-/BIC/ZDAT AT '/'
    INTO STR1 STR2 STR3.
    CONCATENATE STR3 STR1 STR2 INTO ZT1.
    RESULT = ZT1.
    it reported error in PSA records while loading aS " Infoobject /BIC/ZDAT does not contain alpa-conforming value 20050321.
    P.s: for this record i was abt to load 03/21/2005 to zdat.
    thanks,
    anitha.

    hi anitha!
       ok!
      in the transferrules you use the ZDAT as an field for date in transferstructure. but in info source use the 0calday.
    so now
        you need to write your routine in the transfer rules for 0calday which can be derived from zdat which can be derived from the zdat.
    so your Transfer structure will be same as
       zmid, zmatgrp, zdat, zcid, zloc, zqty
    But your Info source must be like
       zmid, zmatgrp, 0calday, zcid, zloc, zqty
    and in transfer rule i suggest you to use the following code for the 0calday.
        DATA : ZT1 LIKE SYST-DATUM,
         STR1 TYPE char(2),
         STR2 TYPE char(2),
         STR3 TYPE char(4).
         SPLIT TRAN_STRUCTURE-/BIC/ZDAT AT '/'
         INTO STR1 STR2 STR3.
         CONCATENATE STR3 STR1 STR2 INTO ZT1.
         RESULT = ZT1.
    hope it makes things clear....

    I tried changing the regional settings in my IE and it worked but that can't be a solution... it is still working on my Windows 2008 server... unless there is a statement from Microsoft that it explains that now it works only like this but I would be surprised... is it ?
    I also saw that changing a directive in the web page can help but, why did it stopped working, is it the handling of a default value for regional settings that changed in SSRS ?
    I would need help to understand this, thank you for any help you can provide.

    Hi Claude,
    Based on my research, SQL Server doesn’t supports DD/MM/YYYY date format. When we insert “17/09/2014” value in a date type column, it pops up an error message that “String was not recognized as a valid DateTime”. It means that the value “17/09/2014” is acted
    as “2014/17/09” string. So in your scenario, we cannot get the expect results.
    To work around this issue, we should change it to “09/17/2014”.

    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
    Thanks,

  • Problem with Date Format in a Table.

    Hi, I have several views, in each views I have two tables with two fields of date.
    This data are from an adaptive RFC function exported in Date ABAP format.
    The webdynpro is showing me the date in mm/dd/yyyy format, and I want to change that to dd/mm/yyyy. Which is the easiest way to accomplish this.
    Thx

    Rodrigo,
    Before you start to alter default behavior, take on acount that it was created with certain reason, namely support for internationalization(I18N) and localization (I10N). So WD application displays date, times, currencies in locale-specific manner.
    Altering just date display leads to inconsistences with other formatting.
    The locale is choosen by sevearl criterias, you may search WD forum to find out more. Briefly, WD consider settings in UME for logged-in user, browser headers and application url parameters.
    For example, try to add the following sap-locale parameter with settings for Spanish/Argentina:
    sap-locale=es_AR
    <b>Notice, that unlike other options suggested here, this will affect all formating in your application. Moreover, if back-end is localized as well (R/3 for example) you will get localized data from back-end</b>
