Bermuda Short (Date Format)

I live in Bermuda. We use a D/M/Y date format as in the UK, but we use (123) 456-7890 for telephone numbers as in North America. I used to use Canada as my region setting to satisfy this combination. In iOS 5, selecting Canada now gives me YYYY-MM-DD dates. I was happy to then find that Bermuda is actually now an option in the Region Format list (take that, Bahamas and Barbuda!), but selecting Bermuda erroneously gives me the U.S. M/D/Y format. It seems the only way way to get my desired D/M/Y is to choose a European, African, or Asian country, but then my Address Book phone numbers are nearly unrecognizable.
Is there a d/m/y, (123) 456-7890 option in the Region Format list (I haven't tried them all)?
or
is there a way to customize these settings?
or
how do I let Apple know they are using the wrong date format for Bermuda?

well you could do something like this.
String year = "02";// you said you are parsing this out...
year = "20"+year;
int yearAsInt = Integer.parseInt(year);but most likely the better way is to use date from string formatting tool already available http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

How can I get the OS short date format?

I want to get the format of OS computer in java.
somthing that return to me:
yyyy/MM/dd
or
MM/dd/yyyy
og
dd/MM/yyyy
Thanks and have a nice weekend!

DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
               Date date = new Date();
               System.out.println("The short date is : " + df.format(date));OR you can specify which format you want
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
               Date date = new Date();
               System.out.println("The short date is : " + df.format(date));Message was edited by:

Forcing YYYY in locale SHORT date format

Does anyone know how to force Java 1.2.2 to display the year in SHORT format as 4 digits without destroying the locale sensitivity of the application. Take the following line of code..
DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT).format(value);
That snippet returns a string formatted for the default locale. In the USA this means the year will be displayed as 'YY'. The question is how to force SHORT to 'YYYY'.
I know I can switch to SimpleDateFormat and supply my own pattern. but then locale sensitivity is lost. For example, I can specify that the pattern is MM/dd/YYYY but this means all locales will use this format. Is that correct? Or does applyLocalizedPattern() in Java somehow translate my hardcoded pattern in a localized pattern.

I would imagine that the idea is that the locale defines its own SHORT format, and if you want the locale's SHORT format, you don't get to customize it--the SHORT format is what it is.
I don't know of a good answer to your problem, but if nobody comes up with anything better, I have a suggestion for a kludgey workaround.
Get the format for SHORT, do a regexp replace of "YYYY" for "YY" (making sure you don't already have "YYYY"), then create a new SimpleDateFormat from that.
Not pretty I know, but if nothing more elegant comes up, then it may at least get you the behavior you want.

Short date format option not working?

I have a date inserted dynamically in an ASP page, and have the DW8 behavior set to 1/17/00 format, which edits the variable to be this:
<%= DoDateTime((Recordset1.Fields.Item("EventDate").Value), 2, 1033) %>
but when I view it on the page, it still shows 10/10/2010 instead of 10/10/10 ... anyone able to tell me why?

How to show date with format conforming to system date format ?

Hi all,
I write Java program running on Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
I want to show date in a status bar with the format the same as that in system date format where the program resides, so when I change the date format through the regional setting, I expect that the date format in the status bar will adjust accordingly.
But it seems that program fails to do so, the program keeps showing short date format MM/dd/yy. I've tried to use SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance() method, but the result is the same.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Formscentral - how do I change required date format to long date (e.g. January 2, 2014) in a form field?

Formscentral - how do I change required date format to long date (e.g. January 2, 2014) in a form field? I can't seem to change it from the short date format.

Hi,
I would suggest you to change the form language to English (UK), Here are the steps:-
1. Open your form in FormsCentral
2. Clik on Options tab
3. Click on Language and Formatting and check out the selection for Form Language and make sure English (U.K.) is selected and the default date format should be day/month/year.

Date format in Finder

Swedish Leopard 10.5.2
In the Finder's list view, is it possible to alter the date format shown? In the system settings, there are 4 different date strings available to alter (I don't want to start by altering them if I don't need to). Loosely translated from Swedish, they are called "Short", "Normal", "Long" and "Full".
Finder displays the "Full" date format, followed by the time. I would like to change this to display the "Short" date format instead. Is this possible somehow? I know I can turn off showing dates as "Yesterday" and such, but that is NOT what I'm after. I want to display the date as set by the "Short" date format in the system settings.
Is this possible to somehow achieve with some "defaults write" command in the terminal? I am new to OS X, but not afraid to fiddle with things like this.
Thanks for any response on this.

There are four different date formats in International, System preferences.
The Finder seems to use all of these depending on the width of the time column.
I myself don't like the appearance of the date and time changing with the width of a column.
In particular I don't like the date with names for months; it's annoying for comparison.
The only way to always get the same date/time in list view of the Finder is to make all date formats
(short,medium,long,full) the same. That's what I have done and now I have what I want.
It won't win a beauty contest.

Change Date Format in VC from Mon Feb 20 00:00:00 GMT 2010

Hi Gurus,
Could someone please offer advice on how I'd change the following field, Mon Feb 20 00:00:00 GMT 2010 to a simple MON 20 FEB 2010?
Thanks,
Bim.

Hi Bim,
You can use the dynamic expression editor to get a short date format.
for example, set the value of a field to =DATE(2010,02,20).
I'm not sure this is what you've asked, if it doesn't help you can you please elaborate some more ?

Change date format in query

Hi gurus
I need to execute a query with date in International format (AAAAMMDD). In SU01 this format doesn't exist. The solution of change PC parameters before execution is not simple because queries are executed in background and broadcasted.
Is there a way to change the format of the date in workbook?
Thanks

Hi,
The Screen display for the Bex Analyzer is closely linked to the default date settings on the PC. These settings can be changed by the user to match the settings you desire. In Windows XP this setting can be changed by selecting:Start ->Settings -> Control Panel ->Regional & Language Options In this window select the customize button which will open a new window In the new window select the date tab, Go to the short date format field There will not be a standard with the option you desire you will need to enter the format manually. Select the apply button and then the Okay button. This will change your default date format in Bex and in excel spreadsheets.

Change Date Format in Calendar prompt

Hi All,
I am on 11.1.1.5 and the calendar prompt on selection of date/typing of date defaults to MM/dd/yyyy but, the requirement is to make it to default to MM/dd/yy. I have made 3 changes to the localedefinitions.xml file (dateSeparator,dateShortFormat,dateOrder) and they look like below
<property name="dateSeparator">/</property> // separator to use between fields in short date formats
<property name="dateShortFormat">MM/dd/yy</property> // default short date format for locale
<property name="dateOrder">mdy</property> // preferred order of date fields for input
But I still dont see a change in the format of the Calendar prompt. Do I need to change something else too?

I checked under the My Account the locale is set to English and I have the following in the file but still when I select in the prompt the date format is MM/dd/yyyy instead of MM/dd/yy
<localeDefinition name="en"> 
<property name="localeDisplayMessage">kmsgLanguageName_en</property>
<property name="defaultLanguage">en</property>
<property name="characterSetList">locale:en</property>
<property name="listSeparator">,</property>
<property name="decimalSeparator">.</property>
<property name="thousandsSeparator">,</property>
<property name="dateSeparator">/</property>
<property name="timeSeparator">:</property>
<property name="am">AM</property>
<property name="pm">PM</property>
<property name="timeFormat">h:mm:ss tt</property>
<property name="dateShortFormat">MM/dd/yy</property>
<property name="dateLongFormat">dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy</property>
<property name="negativeNumberTemplate">-#</property>

Hi Babu,
If the format is required in the Bex analyser then its system dependent setting .
Control panel - > Regional & language options -> Regional options -> Customize -> Date -> Short Date format -> DD-MMM-YYYY(Change) .
Do not forget to log off and re-login into bex,execute queries and see the output.
Hope that helps.

How do i change the date format on an email?

When my emails load the date shows as mm/dd/yyyy as this is not a format i use how do i change it to dd/mm/yyyy ?
I had to reinstall Thunderbird and the date problem has just started from the reinstall.
Thank you for your help.

TB uses the short date format as set in your OS control panel, e.g. in Windows, Region and Language. There is also an add-on:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/configdate/
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Date_display_format

In Thunderbird, how do I change the date format for the column display?

I want the date to show as DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM AM/PM. Although this should be really obvious (and I know I've done it in the past), I can't find where to do this and can't find anything in Thunderbird Help on this, not even when I search "Thunderbird, change date format".

Thunderbird usually uses the computer date and time and settings.
I'm using Windows and notice that TB is using the short date format which I set up under Regional & Language Options.
Are you using the International settings or Date/Time settings?
It should pick up the settings from the 'International' or maybe its called now called 'Language & Text' setting.
not sure which of these suits your macbook:
