Calendar not showing time

Question

Although the datatype of the item calling the calendar is DATETIME, the calendar is not showing the time part. I do notice that the size of the window has been enlarged and buttons been moved in order to show the calendar_time canvas, but it doesn't.
Has anyone out there faced the same problem?!

Answer 1

It could be you are running into bug #2497339.
For an item with datatype 'DATETIME' the calendar-LOV contains the following
errors:
- if the item contains no value the current time should be displayed. For the
hours is this always '1:' instead of the current hour. If the item contains a
date and time the right time is displayed.
- the radio group 'AM-PM' contains 4 buttons. Only the radio buttons 'AM' and
'PM' should be displayed (i can't figure out what the purpose is of the others
two). The others radio buttons are displayed too. If your running on the web
just in front of the hours the radion button is displayed, the label is
covered by the hours. But if your running client/server the hours is covered
by the label. I think that only the radio buttons 'AM' and 'PM' should be
displayed.
Workaround:
I've created the following workaround:
I've changed in the object-library the trigger 'KEY-LISTVAL' for the items
'CGSO$datetime' and 'CGSO$datetime_do' in the following:
declare
l_cursor_item VARCHAR2(200) := :system.cursor_item;
l_null_value BOOLEAN := false;
begin
set_radio_button_property('CALENDAR.AM_PM','CGSO$RADIO_BUTTON',visible,property
_false);
set_radio_button_property('CALENDAR.AM_PM','CGSO$RADIO_BUTTON_DO',visible,prope
rty_false);
if :system.cursor_value is null
then
copy(sysdate,l_cursor_item);
l_null_value := true;
end if;
qms$calendar.key_listval;
if l_null_value
then
copy(null,l_cursor_item);
end if;
end;
