Apple-date-format for Mail Stationary

my date for my mail stationary is not updating as it used to since i have upgraded to Mavericks
this was my code before: (works only with Mountain Lion)
<span class="AppleStationeryDynamicElement" contenteditable="true" apple-content-type="date" apple-date-format="%b %1d, %Y">xxxxx</span>
this is my code now: (works only with Mavericks)

any one have idea what shuld i use for the date format that would work both Mountain Lion and Mavericks?
Thanks!

Steve,
I think that you may have the "wrong" choice in the Systems Preferences/International preference pane. If this is set to "United Kingdom" then Mail will generate iCal events with the correct date.
However, if (like me) you customise this in any way, OS X creates a "Custom" profile. This is no longer recognised by Mail as using UK date formats and the program then seems to default to choosing US dates. So, if you are willing to lose your customisation and switch back to the standard "United Kingdom" choices this should work.
It is just a shame that you can't have a UK date format, and some customisation of (for instance) the date/time display.

Date format in Mail ToDo list

I would like to enter due dates in my ToDo list in British format. The display format is fine. Setting Preferences and restarting the computer doen't help. There is a file called ToDo.strings which might be relevant, but can anyone tell me how I force this change?

+initWithDateFormat:@"%b %1d %Y" allowNaturalLanguage:NO];+
+initWithDateFormat:@"%1m/%1d/%Y" allowNaturalLanguage:NO]
autorelease];+
As I said, I'm not that knowledgeable, but I can read - it seems to me all the examples given assume the English language (month first), so have you tried:
%1d/%1m/%Y
I am asking because you said:
+I have in my mail template the string "apple-content-type="date" apple-date-format= *"%b %1d, %Y"".*+
From what I just looked at, "b" or "m" is the month, so if that is what you have entered, it'll show "March 2, 2010"; however - at least in Germany - the date is displayed as 2. März 2010 (I know the Viennese have their own way of doing things, but..
The other thing that puzzled me is the fact that it says "allowNaturalLanguage: No" - again, I have no idea, but logic would dictate that yes, of course, you want the natural language which, in this case, would be German. Just a thought on this one.

Date format in mail

Currently the date of receipt is shown in the format YY/MM/DD. Is it possible to change it to MM/DD/YY?

Date formats for SQL statements used by recordset object

Hi,
Date formatting appears to be quite problematic for Business One. I did a forum search for date issues and I don't think I saw any of them with an "answered" status. I have an issue with formatting a date for the creation of an SQL statement that the DI sends to SQL Server 2005. I need to format a date so that the localization parameters don't matter for either the client machine or SQL Server's machine. We don't have a problem as long as our machines are localized as USA.
I have PL 22 and I have a form - ours - where I use the Today() function to fill a date field. So this is a date that is not entered by the user. The result of this function is consistent with the localization parameters on my machine. We have two other date fields on the form where the user must type in the date.
As a test, I changed my machine to the UK parameters. I then set up the language parameters of Business One for English(United Kingdom). I changed the date format specifications in Business One so that its format is dd/mm/yy. I then brought up the form and the field that is formatted by the above function arrived in the form's field as dd/mm/yy. I then typed in the two other dates in the same format and added the record to the database. The form's table is user-defined.
I dismissed the form then brought it back up loaded with the new record. The date that was entered by the function appeared in USA format (mm/dd/yy). The dates that were typed in appeared in the Business One format (dd/mm/yy). This of course is not consistent.
When I looked at what got into the database, the formats were the opposite. Weird! To make matters really confusing, I run an SQL statement within SQL Server Mgt Studio, and use the WHERE clause to filter on the date that was based on the function. It didnt matter what format I used for the WHERE clause, the record came up. Does anyone have any idea about how I can ensure that I always use the correct date format for SQL statements passed by Business One to SQL Server regardless of where in the world the application is being run?
Thanks,
Mike

Ian,
Here's what I'm concerned about: Im using the date in a WHERE clause.
Assume the date is Aug 3, 2007.
"SELECT * FROM Table WHERE StartDate > 8/3/2007"
OR
"SELECT * FROM Table WHERE StartDate > 3/8/2007"
If the client machine is set up as USA, the today function will provide the date as formatted in the first query. If the database server is setup as lets say the UK, I believe that SQL Server query parser will interpret the date as Mar 8, 2007.
If the client machine is set up as UK, the today function will provide the date as formatted in the second query. If the database server is setup as lets say USA, I believe that SQL Server query parser will also interpret the date as Mar 8, 2007.
In both cases it would be wrong.
I know I could use the DATEPART function to get the three parts and this will make the code indifferent to the localization specs of the client machine. I need to then be able to concatenate those date parts for the WHERE clause so that the localization specifications of the database server dont matter.
Thanks,
Mike

Date Format for the input Variable

Hi all,
I got an issue with Date format we enter in the input variable screen for the BEx Analyzer.
We have given a format of MM/DD/YYYY. But when the users accessed the report, it is not taking the format of the variable i.e MM/DD/YYYY but it is taking the format of the users system.
If the user's system format is DD/MM/YYYY, it is accepting the input inthe same format only.
Why this strange behaviour?
My questions are
Is the input for BEx system specific? or variable specific?
Rgrds
Kumar

Hi,
I think it is user specific... you can maintain the date format for user ....
Go to SU01 transaction or.. Go to SYSTEM -> User Profile -> Own data
Here in defaults tab you can see the date formet for user...
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

Kindly help me on this.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to change date format for ‘Created’ field in the getVersions web service.
Per my knowledge, you can get the date format for ‘Created’ field as “MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm a”.
For more information, you can refer to:
Versions.GetVersions Method (Versions)

How to change date format for prentation variable

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

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..

Where does one manage date formats for display and input

the user specification is that dates be displayed as YYYY-MON-DD. Is there a config or properties file which contains the date format for display? Is there a calendar drop-down that can be positioned next to a date input field for a question on a screen?
Thanks,
Allan

Hi Allan,
Curious why the rule project wasn't created with "English (Canada)" initially? If your project is English (UK) with the default configurations for that locale, then I assume your currency values are appearing in OWD with the GBP symbol (£) instead of a dollar sign ($)?
As for the impact of switching… I highly recommend getting confirmation from the OPA Dev team before doing it, but in the meantime, if you wanted to experiment on your own with a separate test rulebase (as opposed to whatever formal rulebase you're working on), here are my observations from an initial look… (FYI, I'm an experienced OPA rulie, but I'm non-technical and not in the Dev team, so best to check with them!)
I poked around the language parser files and saw that English (UK) has an English (UK) verb list, whereas English (Canada) uses the English (US) verb list. The vast majority of verbs are identical in all the variations of English, however, there are a couple which differ. So if you've used any verbs which have a different spelling between the 2 lists, there may be some attribute text to tweak, e.g.
- English (UK): the person travelled to Australia
- English (US): the person traveled to Australia
- English (UK): the person cancelled the reservation
- English (US): the person canceled the reservation
I saw some other different files between English (Canada) vs English (UK), but didn't notice anything in them which I'd expect to impact the rulebase.
As for how it might impact other components:
* screens file and the properties file – May be some tweaking depending on how you addressed the verb spelling issue above.
* regression test files – May be some tweaking depending on how you addressed the verb spelling issue above.
* messages.(locale).properties – The default messages.(locale).properties file appears to be based on the Language setting of the Project. I just tested this and OWD used a different messages.(locale).properties file when I changed the Project Language (OPM | File menu | Project Properties | Common Properties | General | Language).
* Siebel Connector – don't know what the impact would be.
OPA Dev team – Can you review what I've said here? And add any relevant further detail?
Cheers,
Jasmine

Supported date formats for sorting

Can someone point me to a document describing the supported
date formats for sorting? I mean, how should I format a date column
in an XML dataset in order to have this column correctly sorted
using the Spry framework?
Thank you and sorry if the question is trivial.

Thanks, what I have done for the moment as a temporary
solution is to use the two date formats and have them both inside
the one cell in the table (the column for the sortable date
yyyy-mm-dd). In my CSS I have created a style for the first date
that has it's visibility as hidden. That way it's sorting the Date1
but only Date2 is being shown to the users as the other cells have
more than one line of text it doesn't look too off centre.
<div spry:region="ds2">
<table width="662">
<tr>
<th width="127" class="eventhead"
spry:sort="Date1">Date</th>
<th width="151" class="eventhead"
spry:sort="Type">Type</th>
<th width="146" class="eventhead"
spry:sort="Title">Title</th>
<th width="189" class="eventhead"
spry:sort="Venue">Venue</th>
</tr>
<tr spry:repeat="ds2" spry:setrow="ds2">
<td height="53" class="event">{Date2}<span
class="eventhide">{Date1}</span></td>
<td class="event">{Type}</td>
<td class="event">{Title}</td>
<td class="event">{Venue}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
It seems to be working for the moment...

CalendarUI element showing different date format for different locations

Hi,
I have an input field with date calendar in my webdynpro Java form . User can select date from this calendar and fill the input field. For this I have used input field in my layout and have binded this with one context attribute of type date. Say name of this field is requiredByDate
Now when I build and deploy my code, I can see the the required By date field and user is able to select date values from the calendar button next to the input field. The format of the date selected is mm/dd/yyyy.
However , when a user tests this application from other location say Malaysia, for him the format is coming as dd/mm/yyyy after selecting the date from the calendar.
Just want to know ,is there is difference in date format for differnt locations ? For India, when you select the date its showing mm/dd/yyyy and for Malayisa its showing dd/mm/yyyy.
Is there anything we can do by changing our system settings like timezone or dateformat in system settings.
I am using standard UI element and binding it with context element of type date.
Need your advice or help on this..
Thanks and regards,
Sai

Changing date format for some of the date columns in a subject area

Hi,
I have a requirement to change the date format for some of the date columns to dd-mon-yyy for only a particular subject area. Is there a feature available in the RPD which can help me do this?
In Answers - Column Properties for a Particular column of a report, we can save the style and formatting as system wide default for the particular column or the data type, but that applies across subject areas.
I tried with the config files too , but that too applies to all suject areas.
Thanks in Advance,
Gaurav

Why don't you create 2 logical column derived from same date physical col and then change the format for one logical column and use it in Subject Area ?

The language setting is related to the database user.
BOL: "DEFAULT_LANGUAGE = { NONE | <lcid> | <language name> | <language alias> }
Specifies the default language for the new user. If a default language is specified for the user and the default language of the database is later changed, the users default language remains as specified.
If no default language is specified, the default language for the user will be the default language of the database. If the default language for the user is not specified and the default language of the database is later changed, the default
language of the user will change to the new default language for the database."
LINK: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173463.aspx
The default language setting can be overridden by SET LANGUAGE for the session:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174398.aspx

SET LANGUAGE british; -- dmy
SELECT CAST ('12/13/2014' as DATE);
