A question about date and number formats

Hi,
I have to change date and number formats from USA to UK format. Is the only place I must do that in user settings (SU01) ? I mean, is this enough or are there any other customizing settings, in FI for example ?
Thanks in advance,
Paulo

I tested very much and the only place we should set it is on user settings

Date and number format with JDEV 10 g

Are there some known bugs in JDEV 10g regarding dates and currency format? I am using bc4j, struts and jsp. I have tried setting the format on the entity and view objects but it works sometimes and sometimes not.

More info please.

Applying date and number format mask

I have specified a date format for an attribute and a number format for another attribute of an entity object using Entity Object Editor - Control hints for the attributes.
The date format is:
Format type: Simple Date
Format: dd.MM.yyyy
The number format is:
Format type: Currency
Format: 0,000.00 km
When using <c:out value="${bindings.MyDate}"></c:out> the format mask for the date is applied and it looks good, but when using
<c:forEach var="Row" items="...">
<c:out value="${Row.MyDate}"></c:out>
</c:forEach>
the format mask is not applied.
When it comes to the number format it is not applied no matter what I use.
I have tried setting the format for the view object attributes as well but the result is the same. How do I make this work?

Can it have something to do with <html:form> ? Since it works using <c:out value="${bindings.MyDate}"></c:out> inside a html:form.

Custom Date and Number Formats

Is there a way in disco admin to set the date format based on values from the database?
For example, we have a function that we use in Oracle Reports (p_indicator passed in):
CASE p_indicator WHEN '1'
THEN v_format := 'MM/DD/YYYY'; -- US Date format
ELSE v_format := 'DD-Mon-YYYY'; -- Foreign Date format
END CASE;
return v_format;
In the Oracle Report field Format Trigger we use (iss_date_field_display is the database field indicator from the report SQL):
SRW.SET_FORMAT_MASK(format_mask(:iss_date_field_display));
So, any way to dynamically change the format mask for date and/or number fields in Discoverer based on data in the schema and/or a function?
Thanks!

Thank you,
What would be the best way to call this function in a workbook?
i created a function in the schema, and tied it to a calculation in the workbook, but the dbms lines fail. if i comment them out, i get a return, otherwise, the return is not getting set. here is the work...
BEGIN
dbms_session.set_nls('nls_currency', '''£''');
CASE p_indicator WHEN '1'
THEN
dbms_session.set_nls('nls_date_format', '''MM/DD/YYYY'''); -- US Date format
v_format := 'MM/DD/YYYY';
ELSE
dbms_session.set_nls('nls_date_format', '''DD-Mon-YYYY'''); -- Foreign Date format
v_format := 'DD-Mon-YYYY';
END CASE;
RETURN v_format;

Date and Number formatting

Hi All
I am getting data from RFC and able to bind it into table. Now I want to format date and numbers into user logged in format. i.e. If user enters country as Germany while registration,date format should be European in table displayed otherwise it should be US format.
Can any one suggest me how to do it?

Thanks for your your Help Abhilash. I slightly changed code and now its working. I think this is almost same thing that you discussed.You can see code below.
Can you help in working with Number format also? I am getting number format exception. String returned when RFC executed is in 10,000,00. I need to change according to user locale format. I tried doing it in java also. When I remove commas in above string its working fine.
public java.lang.String DisplayingDateFormat( java.lang.String date )
    //@@begin DisplayingDateFormat()
                    // Current date Format in BW
                         SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM.dd.yyyy");
                         String ChangedDateFormat=null;
try{
//     sdf.setLenient(false);
//Parsing String to Date
     Date sqlDate =sdf.parse(date);
//     wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess(" Source date"+ ele.getSched_Date());
//     wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess(" Date converted "+sqlDate);
//       Getting User Locale
//Getting Locale Information form Current Session
     Locale userLocale= WDResourceHandler.getCurrentSessionLocale();
     //wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess(" User Current Locale "+userLocale );
//Setting date format ie Short,default etc
     DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, userLocale);
     //wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess(" Formatting to user locale ");
     //Converting Date to String
     String newDateString = dateFormat.format(sqlDate);
     //wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess(" Changed Date Format "+newDateString);
     //binding to Table UI element
     ChangedDateFormat=newDateString;
catch(Exception e)
     wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager()
                         .reportException(
                         e.toString(),
                         false);

Question about Date and Time formulas

Hi, I am new to Numbers, former Excel user. I have been able to use Numbers fine until I got stuck in trying to calculate paces. I am a triathlon coach and use pace for running. In Excel I could type pace in as a product of time. So if I want it to show 7:45, I would use date and time and punch in 12:07:45 and it would show up as 7:45. Then in the cells below, I could take that 7:45 cell and divide "/" by .8, etc and it would produce another pace (7:34 for example).
When I try the same thing in Numbers, it will produce the 7:45 by punching in 12:07:45, but it will not let me divide of multiply. It gives me the triangle and says "the operator / expects a number, but found 7:45. And will not divide or multiply. Anyone know a way around this?

kource,
Go to the Inspector and set the cell format to "Duration", with the units set to "Minutes".
Now, the cell value will appear "7:45", and when you set an adjacent cell and set it to .8 of this one, its value will be "6:12" (that is, 7:45 = 465 seconds; .8 of 465 is 372 seconds, or 6:12).
This is what you're looking for, correct?
Cheers,
Larry

Date and Number format

Two questions:
I want to enter "3/24" (without the quotes) but Numbers shows "March 24, 2009". I really want it to show 3/21. How do I do this?
Second, to show a number as "Currency" Help says to select the cell then choose "Currency" from the Format Bar. "Currency" doesn't show up in the Format Bar.
Thanks for your help.

pee,
First question. Format your cell as Text before entering the data.
Second question. The Currency symbol in the Format Bar is a "$", without the quotes. The word is spelled out in the Cells Inspector Cell Format drop-down list, the other place where you can set the format.

Jerry

Date and number representation...

Hi all,
There is something I don't understand in my application, or maybe in Web Dynpro concept...
We have the following configuration:
- users authenticates on my application by using their SAP username / password
- authentification is done in UME by retrieving data from R3 (so, no users are defined in UME)
What I don't understand is why date and number formats are not the ones configured in R3.
For example, when running transaction su01, I can see my user is having the following formats:
- jj.mm.aaaa
- 1,234,567.89
However, when running my application, I have the following formats:
- mm/jj/aaaa
- 1,234,567.89
Do anyone know why ? What can I do to have my web dynpro retrieving the correct format ?
Thanks

Hello,
Quote from UME documentation (http://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/60_sp2_javadocs/ume/com/sap/security/api/IUser.html#getLocale())
<i>Gets the user's Locale; this determines e.g. the language in which text is displayed to the user's and the style that numbers are formated.</i>
So, we can guess that data specified for formats in su01 doesn`t replicated to WAS`s UME and locale is used to determine formats instead.

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,

Form Letter Report - How To Format Date and Number Hidden Fields

Hi
Is it possible to format date and number fields in a form letter report. This case were Paper Design shows fields as $<hire_date>. The examples in reference book only print character values which do not require formatting. I cannot determine how to achieve this. Cannot select fields from Paper Design view as per other report styles where can apply formatting. Do I have to perform formatting in the query to return date as string in format I wish for? This is not case for other report styles.
Thanks

you could add a field, set the source of the field to hire_date (assuming hire_date is a column in the data model), and put a format mask of whatever format you want. then set visible to No.
then instead of &<hire_date> you can instead type &<name of your new field>.

A few questions about MacBooks and Parallels Desktop.

I have a few questions about MacBooks and Parallels Desktop.
1) I understand I need at least 1GB of RAM to run Parallels Desktop but what about the hard drive, is the stock 60GB drive big enough?
2) Related to question 1, even if it was big enough to allow me to install and run Windows would the 60GB drive be enough if I wanted to install a Linux distribution as well?
3) This has nothing to do with Parallels Desktop but thought I'd ask it here anyway, do Apple Stores carry just the stock MacBooks, or do they carry other configurations?
Thanks
Keith

1. Depend on how intensive you use that HD for saving data on both Mac OS and XP. For standard installation on both OS X and XP, the space of 60 Gb is enough.
2. Same answer as no 1. You can install all three on that HD space, but the extra spacce available will be less and less for your data. You can save your data on external or back up on cd/dvd and erase it from the HD to keep the free space.
Remember to leave at least 2 or 3 Gb for virtual memory usage.
3. Just call them, maybe they don't have it in store stock, but by appointment they might configure one for you before your pick-up date.
Good Luck

One question about Pricing and Conditions puzzle me for a long time!

One question about Pricing and Conditions puzzle me for a long time.I take one example to explain my question:
1-First,my sale order use pricing procedure RVAA01.
2-Next,the pricing procedure RVAA01 have some condition type,such as EK01(Actual Costs),PR00(Price)....,and so on.
3-Next,the condition type PR00 define the Access Sequences PR00 as it's Access Sequences.
4-Next,the Access Sequences PR00 have some Condition tables,such as:
     table 118 : "Empties" Prices (Material-Dependent)
     table 5 : Customer/Material
     table 6 : Price List Type/Currency/Material
     table 4 : Material
5-Next,I need to maintain Condition tables's Records.Such as the table 5(Customer/Material).I guess the sap would supply one screen for me to input the data of table 5.At this screen,the sap would ask me to select one table,such as table 5.When I select the table 5,the sap would go to the screen to let me input the data of table 5.But when I use the T-CODE VK31 or VK32 to maintain Condition tables's Record,I found it's total different from my guess:
A-First,I can not found one place for me to open the table,such as table 5,to let me input the data?
B-Second,For example,when I select the VK31->Discounts/Surcharges->By Customer/Material,the sap show the grid view at the right side.At the each line of the grid view,you need to select the Condition Type at the first field.And this make me confused very much.Why the sap need me to select one Condition Type but not the Condition table?To the normal logic,it ought not to select Condition table but not the Condition Type!
Dear all,I'm a new one in sd.May be this is a very stupid question.But it did puzzle me for a long time.If any one can explain this question in detail and let me understand the concept,I will appreciate him/her very much.Thank you.

Hi,
You said that you are using the T.codes VK31 or VK32.
These transaction codes are used to enter condition records for standard condition types. As you can see a grid left side having all the standard condition types like price, discounts, taxes, frieghts.
Pl check using T.code VK11 OR VK12 (change mode)
Here you can enter the required condition type, in the intial screen. (like PR00, MWST, K004, K005 .....etc)
After giving the condition type, press enter or click on Combinations icon on top of the screen. Then you can see all the condition tables which you maintained for that condition type. Like as you said table 118, table 5, table 6 and table 4.
You can select any table and press enter, then you can go into the screen in which you have all the field cataglogues you maintained for that table. For example you selected combination of Customer/Material (table 5) then after you press enter then you can see customer field on top, and material fields.
You can give all the required values and save the conditon record.
Hope this is clear.
REWARD IF HELPFUL.

Date and Cost formats in export toward Excel (2013)

Hi,
I'm trying to export Start date and Cost of my project tasks to Excel:
File/Save as/ Excel Workbook...
but all these date and cost data arrive in Excel with Text format. With the 2003 version, date and cost formats were well recognized.
I'm using Project 2013 English and Excel 2013 English on a French Win 7.
What are the settings (decimal separator...) which are needed to allow this feature ?
Thanks

Hi Julie,
Thanks for your help.
The "Convert to Number" feature works fine for the Cost.
But the dates arrive as text with a long format such as "03 August 2015 08:00" and the =DateValue(Cell
reference) function returns an error : #VALUE!
Any idea to retrieve the dates?
Thanks again

--If file was picked then we need to check whether we are using the File content conversion parameters or not if yes we need to check the FCC parameters ,
Goto RWB-Channelmonitoring by the following link
http://host:port/mdt/channelmonitorservlet
select the sender side CC name and check for errors
If no errors in above, goto SXMB_MONI for Integration Engine xml processing , check for successful or error occured black or red color
