Business One date format question

Hi,
Business One formats dates coming out of the database as specified by the user. But it looks like, when you set a date variable in your program code to the value coming out of the database and you set an edit text value to that variable, Business One doesn't format it. Am I right? I have a solution but I just want to make sure that there isn't something I'm missing. I'm using VB .NET 2005.
Thanks,
Mike

Vasu,
Thanks for your suggestion. I followed it but it doesn't seem to work. The format appears to be more consistent with the machine's data format instead of what was specified in the general settings. Here is my code:
oDetailForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add("dsDueDate", SAPbouiCOM.BoDataType.dt_DATE)
oEditText.DataBind.SetBound(True, , "dsDueDate")
If Year(DueDate) > 1901 Then
oEditText.Value = DueDate 'Format(DueDate, SystemDateFormat)
Else
oEditText.Value = "N/A"
End If
Is my code correct?
Thanks again,
Mike

SQL Date Format question

Hello,
The date format in an Access database is "Date Time" (
1/8/2008 6:14:34
AM ). It's a required format for some functions.
I need to group product orders by date for a simple revenue
summary page.
As the time part of the date is different for all orders,
trying to group
all orders by one date ( 1/8/2008 for example ) won't work.
It results in:
1/8/2008 6:14:34 AM $30.00
1/8/2008 7:50:23 AM $20.00
I need it to be:
1/8/2008 $50.00
I've tried convert and datetime but am having some kind of
brain cramp I
think and can't get it to work.
The base SQL is:
SELECT order_Date, Sum(order_Total) as TotalAmt FROM
OrderDetails
GROUP BY order_Date
Usage:
<% While ((Repeat1__numRows <> 0) AND (NOT
Recordset1.EOF)) %>
<td><%= Recordset1("order_Date") %></td>
<td><%= Recordset1("TotalAmt") %></td>
Repeat1__index=Repeat1__index+1
Repeat1__numRows=Repeat1__numRows-1
Recordset1.MoveNext()
Wend
%>
Any ideas are appreciated.
Take care,
Tim

Hi Baxter,
I will be summing the totals, but I haven't added that yet.
The date format was the big hurdle.
I just have to figure out how to format the date back to
mm/dd/yyy in the
repeat region on the page now.
It's coming out of the rs as yyyy/mm/dd
<%=Recordset1("orderDate")%>
I'm thinking I'll need to set up a function to format the way
orderDate
displays.
<%=FriendlyDate(Recordset1("orderDate"))%>
But, time for a break. Thanks again for the ideas.
Take care,
Tim

How to display the date from callender for more than one date format items

i have one form which contains many date format items. i want to show the calendar and take the date from calendar.
i am successfully show the calendar and take the date from calendar for one date item.
my problem is i want to do same for all date format items in the form
can any one help me?
thanks

Maybe you could provide more information.
What calendar ? what item works ? what other don't ?
is the issue in the different format masks ?
Please elaborate more your situation.
Francoisit is not the issue of different format masks.
i created a block which name is jbeanblock. in this block item is bean. bean has one trigger when_custom_item_event.
the code of this trigger is :
DECLARE
eventName varchar2(30) := :system.custom_item_event;
eventValues ParamList;
eventValueType number;
LC$Date varchar2(256);
LC$Day varchar2(256);
LC$Month varchar2(256);
LC$Year varchar2(256);
v_date date;
BEGIN
IF (eventName='CALENDAR_EVENT') THEN
eventValues := get_parameter_list(:system.custom_item_event_parameters);
get_parameter_attr(eventValues,'CALENDAR_EVENT_DATE',eventValueType, LC$Date);
get_parameter_attr(eventValues,'CALENDAR_EVENT_DAY',eventValueType, LC$Day);
get_parameter_attr(eventValues,'CALENDAR_EVENT_MONTH',eventValueType, LC$Month);
get_parameter_attr(eventValues,'CALENDAR_EVENT_YEAR',eventValueType, LC$Year);
Clear_Message;
select to_date(LC$Day||'/'||LC$Month||'/'||LC$Year,'dd/mm/yyyy') into v_date from dual;
:ds_employee.hiredate:=v_date;
synchronize ;
END IF;
END;
hiredate is the item of the ds_employee table. hiredate has trigger when_new_item_instance. The code is
Set_Custom_Property('JBEANBLOK.BEAN',1, 'SHOW_CALENDAR','50,50');
ds_employee is my table name. which has 2 date items. one is hiredate and another is date_of_birth.
for hiredate it is working. if i want to do same thing for date_of_birth also then how can we do?

Time Zone Offset - Date Format question

I'm wondering if any one knows how to display the time zone offset of a date in the following format "[+-]HH:mm." More so... I need the date/time in the ISO 8601 format "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss[+-]HH:mm", where the last [+-]HH:mm is the hour representation of the offset. Here's some sample code...
SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");
Calendar rightnow= Calendar.getInstance();
// So if system date/time is February 14, 2002 at 1:15:00 PM EST, this would produce "2002-02-14T13:15:00"
System.out.println("Current Datetime" + sdf1.format rightnow.getTime());
How can I get the timezone offset appended to my output in a [+-]HH:mm format. So, the above date needs to look like "2002-02-14T13:15:00-05:00". I can get the offset in milliseconds by doing the following:
int offset1 = rightnow.get(rightnow.ZONE_OFFSET) + rightnow.get(rightnow.DST_OFFSET);
But how can you get this representation into the [+-]HH:mm format?
thanks in advance,
stophman

Try something like this:import java.text.* ;
import java.util.* ;
static public String formatISO8601(Calendar cal) {
     * create ISO 8601 formatter for Calendar objects
    MessageFormat iso8601 = new MessageFormat("{0,time}{1,number,+00;-00}:{2,number,00}") ;
    // need to shove a date formatter that is cognizant of the
    // calendar's time zone into the message formatter
    DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss") ;
    df.setTimeZone(cal.getTimeZone()) ;
    iso8601.setFormat(0, df) ;
     * calculate the time zone offset from UTC in hours and minutes at the current time
    long zoneOff = cal.get(Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET) + cal.get(Calendar.DST_OFFSET) ;
    zoneOff /= 60000L ; // in minutes
    int zoneHrs = (int) (zoneOff / 60L) ;
    int zoneMins = (int) (zoneOff % 60L) ;
    if (zoneMins < 0) zoneMins = -zoneMins ;
    return (iso8601.format(new Object[] {
                                cal.getTime(),
                                new Integer(zoneHrs),
                                new Integer(zoneMins)
}

JFileChooser and date format questions

I have a JFileChooser that currently works - I set the default directory and allow the user to select a file or enter a file name.
I have been asked to modify this to prepopulate the file name field on the JFileChooser.
How do I do that? It is not obvious which method to call to set the filename field.
Also, the file name needs to be a timestamp "*yyyyMMddHHmmss*.dat"
I tried creating the timestamp part with the following code, but it does not format as expected.
        String s = "";
        SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddddHHmmss");
        try
            java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date();
            java.util.Date dat = dateFormat.parse( now.toString() );
            s = dat.toString();
        }What is wrong with this?
Thanks.

Xquery date formatting question

We are experiencing strange behavior of some xquery functions. I am wondering we are doing something wrong or that there is a bug in the xquery functions.
When we execute the following xquery:
fn:current-dateTime()
it returns:
2007-01-30T[b]09:51:24.843+01:00
and when we execute the below xquery
fn-bea:dateTime-to-string-with-format("yyyyMMddkkmmssSSS",fn:current-dateTime())
it returns:
20070130[b]085053645In this example the shocking part is the underlinded/bold part, ie the hour of the day. When we use the first query it returns the correct time and when we use the xquery to also format the current-dateTime it returns the current time minus one hour.
Does anyone have an idea whether we are doing something wrong?

You should use getDate() to retrieve your date value from the ResultSet as a java.sql.Date object.
Then use a SimpleDateFormat in the JSP to format your date.

Conversion of one date format to another format..

Hi all..
Please help me out in this...
I want to convert the following ...
Fri May 25 17:49:34 2007 to[b] 2007-05-25 17:49:34
Help me out of this ...
Thanks in Advance .....

Fri May 25 17:49:34 2007 to[b] 2007-05-25 17:49:34 If what you have already is of type java.util.Date, then just use formatting:
new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").format(yourDate)If it's a String only, then you need to do conversion:
SimpleDateFormat from = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss yyyy");
SimpleDateFormat to = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
to.format(from.parse(yourString))

SAP Business One Partner Certification Question

We are going for SAP B1 partner certification. I wanted to check if it is must to DI API calls only. or Can I make queries to db. If anybody has any experience, please let me know.
I am trying to build a general ledger report for B1 by writing plugin to B1. I am using C#.
The question I have is that can I use db queries directly or I need to call DI API's only for the partner certification to clear.

Hi Sachin,
Usually you should try to use the API. But it's ok to use db queries as long as they don't change the data (e.g.: SELECT statements).
Best regards,

Data format question

I am using the following code to convert today to a string.
java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
     String currDate;

     DateFormat dateFormatter = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, currentLocale);
currDate = dateFormatter.format(today);
     System.out.println(" --     the sys date = " + currDate);
It gives me 6/25/03. But what I need is 06/25/2003. Does anyone know how I can get 06/25/2003 format?
Thanks,

java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();

you can pass a pattern in this way..

Yet another string to date format question

I have searched the forums and cannot find the exact answer I am looking for so here goes.
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("M/d/y");
String strDate = "02/25/04";
Date myDate = sdf.parse(strDate);
gives me : Wed Feb 25 00:00:00 EST 2004
but I need the output of myDate to stay 02/25/04 in order to add the date object to a sql query.
strDate will come from request.getParameter variable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

>
This will only work if I return the value as a string,
which puts me back right where I started. I simply
cannot get the formatted value Wed Feb 25 00:00:00 EST
2004 to return as a Date object 02/25/04. Is this
possible? When using SQL, as stated above use a PreparedStatement.
Use the setDate/setTimestamp/setTime methods to put it into the database.
Use getDate/getTimestamp/getTime to get it out.
The 'Date' classes do NOT store anything as "02/25/04". They store milliseconds since the epoch in UMT (Universal Mean Time = Greenwich Mean Time.) That is all they store.
When you display a 'Date' instance it is converted to a display format. You can use SimpleDateFormat to create any display format that you want.

Date formatting question

I'm trying to achieve something like the following:
<c:forEach items="${INCIDENTS}" var="incident">
Message Received: <fmt:formatDate value="${incident.timeStamp}" type="both" timeStyle="long" dateStyle="long" /></p>
</c:forEach>The problem is I get an error message saying "According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute value does not accept any expressions"
Can anyone help and tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm guessing that it can't resolve incident.timeStamp and that this needs to be supplied in some other way to the function, but I can't find out how!
Thanks

Ok, I've found the problem. I was using
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>
instead of
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>
Apparently using the JSTL1.0 taglib in a JSP2.0 container.

Date Format Question - calling a store procedure from java side

What is the best approach to handle a DATE as an IN parameter to a procedure?
1) emp table has a column called hire_date and its data type is DATE;
2) the procedure tried to retrieve all employees hired on a specific date, so there will be an IN parameter called p_hire_date, what data type should it use? Something like p_hire_date IN emp.HIRE_Date%TYPE? <== is this correct?
3) so inside the procedure body, when retrieving the record,
SELECT first_name, last_name
FROM EMP
Where hire_date = p_hire_date <==is this correct? or when do I use to_date()?
4) On the Java side, when calling this procedure, what data type should the hire_date use?
Thanks,
new2Oracle

new2Oracle wrote:
it seems our java team passed the hire_date as a string, so in this case, i should make the following change
1) p_hire_date IN varchar2
2) in the SELECT statement, it will be like
select fname, lname
from emp
where hire_date = to_date(p_hire_date, 'MM/DD/YYYY') <== the hire date is stored in the table as 1/1/2005
Would the change above work?
Thanks,Yes it would , but:
if it was 01/03 is this jan 3rd, or mar 1st
Bets way is to pass in to parameters
p_hire_date=>1/1/2005
p_date_format=>'mm/dd/yyyy';
then your code can say in initialisation section
v_hire_date varchar2(30) := to_date(p_hire-date,p_date_format);and no more conversions in your code.
select fname, lname
from emp
where hire_date = v_hire_date;Much clearer this way, I think.

Date format question....

Hi,
How can i convert string '2008-02-11' to string '11-Feb-2008'?
Thanks,

Using pl/sql in this will be most straight forward.
