Automatic file generation using system date and time

Hi guys,
Iam trying to generate a path for file creation automatically using System date and time. I am running into errors with respect to special characters in filename. I am trying to parse the string to get date and time without the '/' and ':' but have not been successful. is there a better way to do it? Please help! I am trying to avoid a dialog box for user to enter a filename.
Thanks!
V
I may not be perfect, but I'm all I got!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

here is a little experiment .... building the path out of %m (month) %d (day) %(year) type stuff might help.

i am using DATETIME datatype in mysql.
whats a problem in my code.

You might want to use TimeStamp and not java.sql.Date which by definition does not include time.
You might also want to close PreparedStatement and Connection in your code.

Extracting Time without using the System Date and Time

Hi, can I know how to process a task at this particular time eg. 6PM everyday without using the System Date and Time..
Do I need to use a Timer to get this done or is there any other solution to do this? Can give me a few hints? Thanks in advance =D

You could use a timer...assuming you had some good reference point when you started so you would know that from your starting point it's now 6pm.
I thought I saw you asked this question once already...and you were given a similar answer....I think by Sylviae?

Name of the file (in utl_file) with date and time

Instead of the below:
vHandle1 := utl_file.fopen('/home/oracle/testdir', 'test.csv', 'W');
I want something like this:
vHandle1 := utl_file.fopen('/home/oracle/testdir', 'test19dec200611.35.csv', 'W');
i.e the name of the file should have the date and time too so that every time the original is not overwritten.
Is this possible?

OR maybe we can use this:
utl_file.frename('/home/oracle/testdir','test.csv,'/home/oracle/testdir','test'||to_char(sysdate,'DDMONYYYYHH24:MI')||'.csv',TRUE);
Will it work?
Can we download this file and open it through oracle (and not any front end like ASP etc.)

How to pass system date and time with tabular from in Update only Mode.

Dear Friends,

beacuse i have pass in default system date it's working only with add row button.
How can i pass system date and time in update mode in tabular form.
Thanks

Hi,
You just create a trigger on the table on which you build your tabular form:
e.g:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "AUDITING"
before insert or update on "MYTABLE"
for each row
begin
    if inserting then
        :new.created_on := localtimestamp;
        :new.created_by := nvl(v('APP_USER'),user);
    elsif updating then
        :new.updated_on := localtimestamp;
        :new.updated_by := nvl(v('APP_USER'),user);
    end if;
end;Regards,
Fateh

Time Stamp Error: Cannot display system date and time. My VI display "YYYY-MM-DD" instead of "2014-08-02".

Hi All,

Time Stamp error.JPG ‏68 KB

Bill,
reviewing the thread Dennis linked (thanks for that) reveals that it is the same account which opened this thread here three month later.
What bothers me is the fact, that the past thread is marked "solved" even though it obviously isn't. Or the OP is trolling us.....
Nevertheless, it seems like systematic error. Connected to specific machines.
What makes the machines where the time stamp issue occurs "unique"? If there are several, is that source really "unique"?
Most obvious reasons would be:
- Language settings (possibly the infamous "dot-comma-issue")
- Time zone settings (e.g. what happens if you switch Ulaanbaatar to Perth or maybe even some US time zone?)
- Missing hotfixes for Win and LV
- Is the system running as virtual machine vs. "native"?
Not so obvious differences:
- Specific CPU type
- Motherboard/BIOS
- LV ini settings
There are tons of other possible reasons (e.g. corrupt LV installation), but these are the ones i came up with within a couple of minutes....

How to get system date and time?

Can someone show me a code on how to get system date and time.
Thanks!

there is one really easy way to get system time, the api gives a great example of code on this. use gregorian calendar, which you'll find in the api under GregorianCalendar. You only need to create one instance of GC, ie Calendar time = new GregorianCalendar();
you save seconds, minute and hours into int values, so you don't have to access the system time every second, you can create a thread which adds one to the int second value, if oyu see what i mean, for example, i have saved the hours, minutes and seconds as int values;
int hour, minute, second;
i can then create a thread (Thread thread = new Thread(this) and run it like:
Calendar time;
int hour, minute, second;
Thread thread = null;
public MyTime() {
hour= time.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
minute = time.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
second = time.get(Calendar.SECOND);
if(thread == null) {
thread = new Thread(this);
thread.start();
public void run() {
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
while(thread == t) {
thread.sleep(1000);
second++;
if(second > 59)
minute++;
if(minute>59)
hour++;
formatTime();
public void formatTime() {
second = (second > 59? 0 : second);
minute = (minute > 59? 0 : minute);
hour = (hour > 23? 0 : hour);
System.out.println(hour+":"+minute+":"+second);
public static void main(String[] args) {
new MyTime();
I know this looks like gibberish but it should work. If not, try to fix the problem, i have written from memory really but i guarantee you, this gets the time then every second, simply adds one to the second and then formats time. You can also access the day, month and year then format them using the above code. I don't like giving code since you should really do these things yourself but it is 2:04am, i have nothing better to do and i am not tired so i did you a favour - i have become what i always did not want to, someone ho stays upall night writing code.

I need to get the Current System Date and time in the format

I need to get the Current System Date and time in the format
*6/24/2009 11:30:29 AM*
How do i do it ?

I seem to be saying this a lot lately.
Google is your friend.
I googled "java current date format" and SimpleDateFormat featured prominently in the results.

In the numbers app, using the "date and time" function, is it possible to remove the time? I need to put together a list of dates, but I don't need or want times.

When formatting your column to date/time, pick Date & time, and then pick the letter i in the circle to the right. Then scroll down and pick "No time"

Date selection will not print properly when using Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control 6.0 in Excel 2010

I have created a field input worksheet in which the user identifies start and end dates for training sessions, using the Date and Time Picker Active X Control. It works fine on-screen, but when the worksheets are printed, the dates that were selected
using the date picker calendar print out in an unreadable, huge font. The large font also appears in the print preview mode. I've tried modifying various properties in design mode, but nothing that I have tried will correct the problem.
Any ideas?

The DTPicker seems to have some bugs in it when used on a worksheet. I have overcome the above by setting the size properties to the same size as a cell and the Linked cell property to the
cell under the DTPicker. (Even setting the Linked cell had problems with an error message referring to the Check box property to be set to true so I just set it to true and inserted the linked cell and set the checkbox property back to
false.)
Then the VBA code below that Hides the DTPicker after a date is selected and unhides the DTPicker when the linked cell with the date is selected. The code is for 2 DTPickers so you will need to edit to suit your requirements.
Caveat: If the DTPicker is visible then you can't hide it by selecting the same date again. If this occurs then it is a multi step operation. First select another date and the DTPicker will hide, then click on another cell then back on the cell with
the date to unhide the DTPicker and then select the correct date.
Hope it helps and feel free to get back to me with any questions etc.
Private Sub DTPicker1_Change()
    Me.DTPicker1.Visible = False
End Sub
Private Sub DTPicker2_Change()
    Me.DTPicker2.Visible = False
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    Select Case Target.Address
        Case "$E$5"     'This is the linked cell for DTPicker1
            Me.DTPicker1.Visible = True
        Case "$E$13"    'This is the linked cell for DTPicker2
            Me.DTPicker2.Visible = True
    End Select
End Sub

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var d = new Date();
var curr_hour = d.getHours();
var curr_min = d.getMinutes();
document.write(curr_hour + " : " + curr_min);

How to set the system date and time in LabVIEW 6i?

Hi,
How can I set the time of the computer from Labview 6i? Is there any function to do this?
Thanks.

Not natively that I know of. You could use a LabVIEW DLL call to link
to a Win32 API call which sets the date and time. You would need to
have privileges to do it.

Automatic changing of activity start date and time of planned orders in SAP

Hello experts,
I have a requirement that in the transaction /SAPAPO/SEQ1 for the list of planned orders what ever we get in the sap we have to swap the activity start date and time for two planned orders which we select automatically. For this I have found the BADI "/SAPAPO/SEQ_VISUAL01".
Now i am able to identify the two selected planned orders inside the BADI method SEQGRID_TOOLBAR_OKCODE_HANDLE.
Now my requirement is i have to swap the start date and time for these two planned orders automatically i.e. through BAPI or any FM.
Any idea of any BAPI or FM to change the details of the planned order.
Thanks,
Sanath.

Hi Sanath,
Please check this BAPI BAPI_MOSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI3. This Bapi has the provision of chaning Planned Order & Production Order Data. Also, you can explore more info on available bapis in the T-code 'BAPI'.
Thank you,
