Calculations with date fields

I'm trying to do a basic calculation with a CRM date form in BC.
I have a form field 'dateJoined' (though this could easily be the standard DOB field for the sake of this exercies) and I need to use javascript to calculate how many days have passed between today's date and the date in 'dateJoined'.
The {module_customerfield} outputs a string, not a date object, which would be fine but the format of the string is not compatible with the .date object.
I started down the path of lengthy substrings > variables, then linked variables > date object but after lines and lines of code, wondered if there was a simpler way that I was overlooking??

Problem with date fields in where clause after changing driver

Hi,
We have changed the oracle driver we use to version 10
and now we have some trouble with date-fields.
When we run this SQL query from our Java program:
select *
from LA_TRANS
where LA_TRANS.FROM_DATE>='20040101' AND LA_TRANS.FROM_DATE<='20041231'
We get this error code:
ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
The query worked fine whit the previous driver.
Is there some way I can run a SQL query with date fields
as strings in the where clause?
Thanks!

Keeping the argument of standard SQL or not aside, comparing DATE columns to a constant string (which looks like a date in one of the thousands of the formats available, but not in others) is NOT one of the best programming practices and leads to heartburn and runtime errors (as you have seen yourself).
I would rather compare a DATE to a DATE.
Also, constants like that would be another issue to fix in your code:

Did anyone face this issue..

HI John,
Date field in MDM is 18 characters long and has date as well as time component to it.
You can use assignment to trim this and transfer its value to another field and make that field as DF,so that it is displayed in the mail as date.
Otherwise you can also create a calculated field for this purpose.
Please go through this very useful link to create expressions/validations with dates:

Help with Date Field Value

I have only used livecycle for a few months, so sorry if this questions seems basic, just beyond my knowledge at the moment.
I need a little assistance with a date issue I am having on one of my forms.
I have the display pattern of a date field set to -- date{MM/DD/YYYY}
The issue I am having is some users are entering the date using the " - "symbol instead.
Example 01-01-2000
and other are using the correct 01/01/00 format with the " / " as the divider.
This is causing calculations in the next field to fail because the date it formatted incorrectly.
How can I make the field convert the " - " to the the correct symbol of " / " and still allow others to use the " / " as they are now.
Thanks

I was able to figure it out using the edit pattern page

Problem with Date fields in Search panel

Hi all,
I use TP2 and in my jspx page I have a search panel with two date fields and table where the results is displayed. But there is a problem with these date fields, because when I search dates the results is nothing even I retype the date from table. Also I have other pages where this problem exist with same structure.
Could somebody help me with some advice?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the answer.
I use the standart method to make search panel with drag and drop the data control to the page. The other search panel fileds work fine, only the date fileds are problem. Maybe something in view object doesn't work properly.
Here I post the code from my page.

Problem with Date-Field

Hi,
I have a problem with a date-field. Maybe I must describe the problem more detailled, but first I just want to ask you, if you know the following error-message: "21.10.2010 kommt nicht in der Menge der erlaubten Werte vor". I don't know the correct translation but it must be something like this: "21.10.2010 does not occur in the quantity of the permitted values". I don't find the position in the sourcecode of this message. And I know, that this message isn't thrown by a functionblock from SAP. So what is the describtion of this message?

Yes I have a date field in my form. Ok I must describe it more detailled. I have an employee searchfield. After select an employee you see a form. After filling the form you click on "Send". It creates a ticket and sends the data to the Backend and jumps back to the employee search field. Untill this point everything works fine. There is no problem with the datefield. Now I want to create the form. I choose an employee and fill the form. But now it comes this message. But not after clicking the "send" button. The message comes after changing some data (e.g. change a radio button). So it looks like a validationproblem, but only at the second creationprocess. Maybe the first date is in some cache? I don't know...

Writing query to Oracle DB with DATE field in it.

When I try to execute the following query on Oracle DB I get an exception. I know that the problem is with Date representation on the query string. Please, if anyone knows how to make it work help me.
query = "INSERT INTO MYTABLE (NAME , BIRTHDAY ) VALUES ('" + person.getName() +" ' , " + person.getBirthday() + " )";
statment.executeUpdate(query);
getBirthday() returns java.sql.Date object.
Please, please, help to work it out!

Thank you, very much.
I've put the record into DB!!!! Hurray!
But now I have another problem. I've got a ResultSet & I'd like to extract the DATE from it. But how?
The Exception text states that the name of the field (Birthday) is incorrect.
My code:
Date birthday = resultSet.getDate("Birthday");
All other fields are perfectly well extracted, but they are Strings.

Materialized view fast refresh with date field

I have a situation where I need to create a materialized view worth of 6 months of data with fast refresh option from the master table. Somehow whenever I have the where clause added with the date field then it craps out with "ORA-12015: cannot create a fast refresh materialized view from a complex query".
Here is what I am trying to do. Please let me know if there is any other way to accomplish this.
create table test (id number, date_time DATE);
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG ON test WITH ROWID;
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW cms.scoreboard_statistics_mv
BUILD IMMEDIATE
REFRESH FAST
WITH ROWID
AS
SELECT * from test
WHERE date_time >= sysdate - 180;
ORA-12015: cannot create a fast refresh materialized view from a complex query
Thanks,
Raj

It's crazy but a new time Metalink help us into the Note:179466.1
The restrictions that prevent snapshots from being fast refreshed depend on
the version of Oracle being used, a full list of these by version is included
in section 3. In all cases the snapshot defining query should:
- refer to fully qualified table names rather than to partial table names.
- refer to remote tables only, not to remote master views or synonyms.
- not generate context sensitive data. For example, do not create a simple
snapshot with a query that uses the SQL functions :SYSDATE, UID or USER.

Problem with date field (truncation)

Hi guys!
I have an interface between Oracle and Oracle. My LKM is SQL to SQL and my IKM is SQL Control Append.
In the source table i have a date with a hour but after executing the interface in the target date field I receive only date without hour...
Do you know where it can be truncated ?

This an Oracle JDBC Driver error...
Try this to fix the issue:
Go to Topology Manager and from the Physical Architecture > Technologies > Oracle > your Data Server > Properties tab, add the oracle.jdbc.V8Compatible property and set its value to true.
Doing that you can loose the millisecond precision for timestamps format.
You can also have a try with the Oracle JDBC Driver version 11.1

Working with Data Field (XMLTYTPE)

XMLTYPE is a new type of data element I have yet to work with and I am seeking some guidance as how best to approach
this in order to display the contents of these fields.
I have the XSD available to me which I believe I will have to query the contents withing this field and within a outter query.
This may not be an easy task to explain, but if some one is willing to take a stab at it, i'd greatly appreciate any advice given.
Enjoy your Day,

Can i Use a time stamp vale in where condition with date field?

HI,
In a where condition the table field vale is of type timestamp and select options value is of type date.
How do i select data?

Define a range for r_dt for timestamp field.
Initailize the range with the below values.
r_dt-sign = 'I'.
r_dt-option = 'CP'.
concatenate r_date-low '*' into r_dt-low.
concatenate r_date-high '*' into r_dt-high.
append r_dt.
Use r_dt in your select query where clause.
Note - r_date is the select-option for your date field.

Trouble to use COOIS with date fields

Hi,
Some trouble to use Tcode COOIS, which could provide a lot of information on Production Workflow. When
indicating a date in one of the date fields, datas pulled do not fit with the criteria. For example, if the 08082011
is entered, the report provides informations on postings created the 08082011 and lateru2026 Is there any idea to
fix the problem or to understand why.

Hi,
Please note that In COOIS, yes you donot have creation date / confirmation posting date.
You can sort the production orders wrt basic start dates / finish dates.
Select the basic start date column, rt click and click sort in ascending or descending order
Refer the OSS note Note 434123 and 615206 - Filling and displaying own fields in information system
