Auto populating the Date/Time Field in a Column

I'm having an issue with the a Date and Time Column type auto populating the current date and time correctly. I've put the =Now() function in the calculated value box. I get the correct date and I get a time but the time is wrong, its
on Pacific Time and my regional settings on the site are Central Time. I can't find any way to specify use central time. is this a bug on microsoft's end or mine? It was working yesterday and not today.

check what time zone is your central admin is set to
using
http://<CentralAdminUrl>/_layouts/regionalsetng.aspxand if its pointing to pst you will get pst result .you will see the options wil time zone selected and also some other like calender etc
if you want to change reginaol time for your site so to site settings ==> under site adminstration
you will see regional settings where you can set the time zone it will look like this :

After Add Instance occurs the date/time field data is removed.

I have multiple dropdown options that adds or deletes a row from a table. Trouble is after I have placed a date or time in fields elsewhere on the form, that data is deleted after I make a selection on the dropdown. The dropdown has the options of In, Out, N/A, or N/O and when Out is selected the AddInstance is invoked adding a row to the table and when any of the others are selected the RemoveInstance removes the row. This part works fine but the values in the date and time fields are removed as a result of the selection. I have multiple dropdowns, and the code below will keep my data in the fields on the first selection but on subsequent selections the data for the data/time fileds are removed. Any recommendataions on what is going on and how I can stop this?
My codes appear below.
if (this.rawValue == 1) // If the value selected is "Out" of compliance then ...
     School.ItemListPage.ObsRec._Rows.insertInstance(0); // Add an item to the table
     xfa.form.recalculate(false);
else // If the value selected is "In", "N/A", or "N/O" then ...
     School.ItemListPage.ObsRec._Rows.removeInstance(0); // Remove this item from the table
endif

Populating the data tab field for the FM IDOC_INPUT_CREDITOR

HI
I need to use the function module IDOC_INPUT_CREDITOR .
When i am populating the idoc data table i need to update the field sdata for the segment E1LFA1M.
What is the best way to populate the field .
Is there a function module which will get the import structure of the table LFA1into the the sdata field.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Check for the user exit of the idoc function module. You can check for - EXIT_SAPLKD02_001 & include - zxvsvu04.

Auto population of data to fields based on other input field.

In overview screen, I have one input field "Business Partner" which contain search help. As soon as business partner selected from dropdown, the other input fields like Name, Address, City, state should automatically populated without hit of 'ENTER' key.
I verified with method DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT, but it is triggering only by hitting ENTER key. Is there any event or method which will trigger after business partner selected from dropdown? or any other option to achieve to auto populate the fields.
Please find attached screen.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Narayana,
You can use the get p method for setting up the values without pressing the enter.
CASE iv_property.
    WHEN if_bsp_wd_model_setter_getter=>fp_fieldtype.
      rv_value = cl_bsp_dlc_view_descriptor=>field_type_picklist.
    WHEN if_bsp_wd_model_setter_getter=>fp_server_event.
      rv_value = 'AI_SELECT'.( you can give here the event name)
    WHEN OTHERS.
ENDCASE.
Define event with the same name above( AI_SELECT),
You can set the value of fields based on the first field value within this event.
Thanks,
Dharmakasi.

CDHDR date/time fields vs. changenr field - what's the proper order ?

I have an application where I need to keep track of all the changes on sales orders. Got it working pretty well, but in production it has the nasty habit of missing some changes ( it runs every 15 minutes and keeps track of the last date/time of an item it picked up ). What's worse is that if I do a full run from scratch, the missing stuff appears.
I think my algolrithim is flawed because of the missing things plus I found two entries who's entries look like the following (all in VERKBELEG) - yes, this is REAL data from my production system:
changenr          udate     utime
0004520883     2/27/2007     19:20:24
0004522894     2/27/2007     19:16:31
Apologies for the formatting - anyways, as you can see - which entry happened first? Is the changenr field the authority on that or is the date/time fields ? I have to think it's changenr because of the following:
1 - changenr is part of the primary key - date and/or time is not
2 - my program is missing changes
What's even wierder is that the above two changes were made by the same person - and I have no idea which one they did first.
bottom line - what determines order of changes ? - field changenr or date/time fields (which are udate and utime respectively). I thought when I designed this the first time that it would been entry #2 above, but now I'm thinking it's entry #1.

Tom;
Thank you very much for the information - I did run transaction SNRO and I see on my dev box that it's buffered ( 10 numbers ). This then leads to my next set of questions:
1 - If you have multiple app servers and it's bufferered, where does it buffer ?
2 - Are the change numbers still in order of the changes ( see #4 below ) ?
3 - When a change number is buffered - does that mean the entire change is buffered or does that mean that only the number is buffered ?
4 - If you have multiple app servers with multiple changes - do the changes appear in the database in order of the change numbers or out of order ? Here's a simple example:
    change 1 - done by app server 1
    change 2 - done by app server 2
    change 3 - done by app server 1
    change 4 - done by app server 1
    change 5 - done by app server 2
At any point, would I see any change number in the database which has a higher change number than one that doesn't yet exist in a commited form in the database ? In order words, if I did the read just right, would I see changes 1,3,4 on one read and then 15 minutes later 1,2,3,4,5 ? The reason I'm asking is because if you want to remember where you last left off, if a change number "appears" later and not in order, tracking the change numbers won't help either.

How to prevent an automatic fill in of the current date into a Date/Time Field

hi,
maybe i checked out a strange behaviour of the adobe designer. when i put a "normal" data/time field (with no data pattern, display pattern, etc.) on a form and then change (on the pdf preview tab) to the newly designed date field,i have to stay about 2 minutes on this field not filling it out.
after these minutes the current date is filled in automatically in the date/time field.
what can i do preventing that? any hints?
thanks in advance.

I don't have any info on timelines, all I can say is check back in future versions of Acrobat :(

Problem with Date/Time field in Adobe LiveCycle

I am trying to create a form that has a check-in and check-out dates. I want the user to enter those dates and then have the form automatically compute how many nights the user intends on staying.
I have two fields, CHECKIN and CHECKOUT, set up as text fields. My third field, NIGHTS, has the following script to do the calculation:
var strStart = CHECKIN.rawValue
var strEnd = CHECKOUT.rawValue
if(strStart.length && strEnd.length)
var dateStart = util.scand("mmm d, yyyy",strStart);
var dateEnd = util.scand("mmm d, yyyy",strEnd);
var diff = dateEnd.getTime() - dateStart.getTime();
var oneDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
var days = Math.floor(diff/oneDay);
this.rawValue = days;
else
this.rawValue = 0;
NOW...this is fine if the user inputs a four-digit year. If not, it's trouble. SO, what I want to do is change the CHECKIN and CHECKOUT fields to the date/time field so they select the date off the pop-up calendar.
When I make the changes, I can't get the script to work for the NIGHTS field.
CAN ANYONE HELP THIS NEWBIE?

Make sure the format of the date strings provided by the calendar is what you are expecting. Or use the "formattedValue" for the input strings.

How to get calendar icon to show again when entering data in date/time field.

Hello,
First time posting on this site. I am fairly new to using SQL Server Express. I created a split-database in MS Access 2010 and have successfully migrated over the backend database to SQL Server Express. When I was using the FE forms in
Access, I use to be able to see a calendar icon where I could select the month and day in the date/time field.
I compiled the FE forms to binary format .accde so that I could distribute this to the users and they couldn't change my forms. After migrating the tables to SQL Server express for the BE, I am no longer able to see the calendar icon when I try to enter
in data in the date/time field. Same for the original .accdb file before the binary conversion to .accde.
How do I get the calendar icon back to show on the form when a user is entering in data? I appreciate any assistance I can get. Thank you!
Thai

Hello Cheer,
I don't believe the table changed when migrating from Access. I had two tables before the migration, one was for the SwitchBoard Manager and the other table was for the database table. I used the Switchboard to navigate to different menus, such
as the Main Form, Power Form, Server Form, etc. Let me know if I can provide any other information to help you narrow this down for me.
Thank you for your assistance.

How to prevent user to enter data in "Date/Time Field"?

Hi folks,
     Back after long time to the forums, where I get answers which are helpful in making me good at utilizing designer.
     I am trying to validate the "Date/Time Field" using JavaScript but couldn't get a proper RegEx expression for various invalid user input formats. If anyone can help me out in finding a proper script that would Great.
     My script grown bigger and bigger to accepting invalid dates, but felt like hardcoding. So, instead I decided why can't we prevent a user to enter data into "Date/Time Field" and use only calendar dropdown. Is there is a way to do this?
find my sample testing docment
https://acrobat.com/#d=mYXkrhO2txuEesCfmvxNXg
Thanks in Advance,

Hi Rajesh,
I don't think there is a way of stopping the user from using the keyboard to enter a date. You can use the following script in the change event to stop them typing a date but they will still be able to paste a date in.
if (xfa.event.change.length === 1)
xfa.event.change = "";
This code works because if the date is selected from the calendar dropdown then the date xfa.event.change value will be the whole date and therefore longer than one character.
I couldn't access your sample but if you were to set an display picture for the date field to something other than date{YYYY-MM-DD} then a valid date will have a formattedValue that is different than the rawValue.

Date/Time field format not wysiwyg

I have a date field in my form that I formatted as m/d/yyyy hh:mm. I thought that because it formats that field in that way my script would get passed down that way however it is not. I want to manipulate it so the value is in the format I want it to be....
I enter this in the date/time field: April 1, 2011 1:40PM
When I click out of the field and I see: 4/1/2011 13:40
Then I have a script that uses this field to make the file name but because I have a comma in there it will not save, if I take the comma out it will save. So the main question is how do I format my field to pass down the value that I am seeing not the value that I am typing in. You will notice I have a replace in there but I can't account for the comma because it reads it as part of the syntax.
// Get the field value
var dtentered = getField("datetime").value;
//replace any odd characters that will not allow the file to save
var fdt = dtentered.replace(/[!@#$%^&*()+=|\:;"'<>?/{}]/g,"_");
// Specify the folder
var fldr = "/c/WO Completed/";
// Determine the full name and path
var fp = fldr + fdt + ".pdf";

Thanks for the response...I'm not sure that I understand what you mean back-slash...I went ahead and did this but now it is giving me an odd file name
// Get the field value
var dt = getField("datetime").value;
var mydt = escape(dt);
//replace any odd characters that will not allow the file to save
var fdt = mydt.replace(/[!@#$%^&*()+=|\:;"'<>?/{}]/g,"_");
// Specify the folder
var fldr = "/c/WO Completed/";
// Determine the full name and path
var fp = fldr + fdt + ".pdf";
Returns a file name as
April_201_2C_202011_201_3A40PM.pdf
I was looking more for
4_1_2011_13_40.pdf
or

Date time field problem

Hello there
This maybe a simple problem but on the Date time field object i have input a display pattern and put the error message in. When I preview the PDF and populate the object with random text the pop up box will display my error message.
What it does not do is clear the text I have input so the date can be re-entered correctly, which is what I was expecting. Therefore the user can continue on without addressing the date correctly.
Can anyone advise what I should do to get this to work?
Thanks
Darren

Hi
The first time I thinkanyone has answered their own post. So for the benefit of anyone else I added the folowing script to the exit event
of the date field object
if (page.subform.dateobject.rawValue == page.subform.dateobject.formattedValue) {
xfa.host.resetData("xfa.form.Formtitle.Page.subform.datefieldobject")
Not sure why it works but just played around with it.

Add 1 hour to date/time field in list

I need some help understanding the Date/Time fields in SharePoint Online. I've created a list with 2 date/time fields... StartDate and EndDate. I want the StartDate field to default to the current date/time. I want the EndDate field to default to the current
date/time + 1 hour. I've tried numerous formulas in the default calculated value for these fields, and couldn't get it right. I finally got it, but I don't understand why. Here is the scenario:
***Note: Time Zone is set to UTC+5 (EST). Current Time is 8:45am
Attempt 1:
StartDate - Selected "Today's Date" for the Default Value
EndDate - Selected "Calculated Value" for the Default Value. Entered the formula
=now()+TIME(1,0,0)
Actual Results - StartDate: 5/28/2014 9:00am EndDate: 5/28/2014 6:45am
Attempt 2:
StartDate - Selected "Calculated Value" for the Default Value. Entered the formula
=now()
EndDate - Selected "Calculated Value" for the Default Value. Entered the formula =now()+TIME(4,0,0)
Actual Results - StartDate: 5/28/2014 5:45am EndDate: 5/28/2014 9:45am
Attempt 3:
StartDate - Selected "Calculated Value" for the Default Value. Entered the formula =now()+TIME(3,0,0)
EndDate - Selected "Calculated Value" for the Default Value. Entered the formula =now()+TIME(4,0,0)
Actual Results - StartDate: 5/28/2014 8:45am EndDate: 5/28/2014 9:45am
So on attempt 3, I finally got the results that I was looking for. However, I don't understand a couple things:
1. Why does selecting "Today's Date" for the default value, not select the current time?
2. Why do I needed to offset the hours by 3 to get the current time?
Thanks in advance,

The now function in my environment gives me the time in which the server is housed. If I change the regional settings it does not have an effect on the time. I'm guessing this means that your server is hosted in the UK or somewhere near there and the regional
settings don't have an effect.

How can I set a date range for a Date/Time Field in LiveCycle ES2?

I need to set a specific date range for a form set up in LiveCycle ES2. Cannot see where i allows me to do that without a code entered.

Hi,
You can't set a start and end date for the date/time field, the best you can do is validate the range after the user has selected it.
An alternate is to make your own date / time field, like this sample http://adobelivecycledesignercookbookbybr001.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/an-alternative-date-p icker-for.html

Issue: format / "language" of current Date (in date/time field), javascript only

Hi,
I have 2 date fields in my form, which should display the date in differnt format. (yyyy.mm.dd / dd-mm-yyyy)
To get the current date I use java script only
Formular1.p1.date_YYYYmmDD::initialize - (JavaScript, client)
var date = new Date();
this.rawValue = date.toLocaleDateString();
My first problem is (red): I get date in English, but I want it in a different language. As it was set in form settings
My second issue is: how can I format a date/time-filed (not a text field) in javascript with a specific pattern on init-event?
It seems my code in init-event overrides the pattern configuration of the date/time-field
Here is my form, if anyone want to check it:
https://acrobat.com/#d=zeOMyj9MhBdYbVWk8S1pHw

Hi,
I think both problems are the same, when setting a date/time field using the rawValue the format always has to be yyyy-mm-dd, if you use any other format the value is just treated as text and displayed without formatting.
var date = new Date();
this.rawValue = util.printd("yyyy-mm-dd", date);
You can also set the formattedValue if you have a date in the correct format.
var date = new Date();
var currentLocale = xfa.resolveNode("#localeSet.#locale").name;
var dateFormat = "date("+currentLocale+"){DD MMM, YYYY}"
this.formattedValue = util.printd(dateFormat, date, true)
This code assumes the display pattern is date{DD MMM, YYYY}
The date format specification is in the XFA Spec http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/xml/index_arch.html
