Cannot change date format in delimited output
Hi,
I am launching a series of Reports from a Forms environment in pdf format without any problem.
However, we're finding trouble when setting the format to excel (desformat=delimiteddata in set_report_object_property). Date fields which include hour and minute are being truncated ('18/05/2007 12:10:00' to '18/05/2007'). This is a highly undesirable behavior and we would like to fix it.
We have been following online help and found out that dateformatmask parameter is the key to achieve this. We have included it in the report launch string that is used inside the web.show_document built. This is the way it looks:
/rwservlet/getjobid2574?server=rep_cspas&mimetype=application/vnd.ms-excel&dateformatmask='DD/MM/RRRR HH24:MI:SS'
However, report date fields format keeps being wrong. Any clue about this?
Thanks and regards,
Fernando Gorostiza.
Thanks, but that's a kind of solution I had already thought of but which I wanted to avoid. We have over 60 reports, and although I can make one developer change every date field inside each of them, I believe it's quite a big waste of time considering the existence of dateformatmask parameter.
Any other idea?

EA1 - Cannot Change Date Format in SQL Results
In version 1.2, I used to go to Tools > Preferences > Database > NLS Paramters and change the date format there. The change would then be reflected in the SQL results for date columns.
When I try to do the same thing in 1.5 EA1, the date format is always the same, DD-MON-RR, no matter what I put in the date format setting under NLS Paramters.
Am I missing something?
Thanks.Just a quick post to make sure that the bug you logged takes into account all NLS parameters :), as this does not concern only dates but also timestamp formats, decimal and group separators as well, and probably all of the NLS parameters I assume.

Please help me ont this.
ThanksHi,
In Prompt:
Try using EVALUATE function.
Eg: Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'DD-MON-YYYY')
Report level:
Try this in the column formula-
Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'MM/DD/YYYY')
(or)
EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' AS CHARACTER ( 30 ), "Dim- Date".Start Date, 'MON-YY')

Change date format in reporting (query)
I need to change date format from dd.mm.yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy in reporting (query)
Hi Suresh,
Go to transaction su01d in that enter your user.
Now go to defaults and change the date format.
Ya but this format will be user specific, so if you want everyone to see that format you have to change it for all.

I would like to change Date Format when printing MSDS in different languages. For example, print date in MM.DD.YYYY format when printing MSDS in English, but print date in YYYY. MM. DD format when printing MSDS in Chinese.The Generation Variant setting is MM.DD.YYYY because most of time we print that MSDS in English.
Does any one know how to do it?
Thanks
Tina Wuhi,
create a new generation variant for the Report template and select the date format that you want in the new GV. While printing the report template select the generation varient created for the required date format.

I'm using Sql Developer vers. 1.1.2. for Oracle 8.1.7 and I can't change Data Format. Even if first I run "alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD/MM/YYYY';" and after I run "select data_field from table;" in the SQL Worksheet, it goes on reporting the field in format "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS". It seems to me as if the "alter session" doesn't work.
I've got a problem with decimal separator too. I mean when I run "select salary_field from table;" and the item is for example 2300,32 the report gets null column even if I've set Decimal Separator to "," from Tools>NSL Parameters>Decimal Separator.
I need help.
Thanks in advance
MarcoMarco,
It isn't really a great help, as you need to access 8.1.7, but the current version doesn't have this problem - it uses the current NLS_DATE_FORMAT setting to format the date, regardless of the NLS preferences.
I have vague memories (1.1.2 has largely faded from my memory) that when they first introduced the NLS preferences that they took precedence over the DB NLS settings (ie date formatted in SQL Developer based on NLS preferences).
On the decimal separator, I have other vague memories of problems if you didn't set both the Decimal and Group separator, although a quick search on the forum didn't highlight something that seemed the same as your problem. After logging on (ie with the NLS preferences as the DB NLS settings), what do you get if you the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS parameter in the NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS view? This should have two characters - the first one being the decimal separator and the second being the group separator.

How to change date format in OBIEE
Hello
I have a need to change the date column to a varchar column in OBIEE..
The date column stores data in the format of 'YYYY/MM/DD', I need to change this to a varchar column with this format 'YYYYMM'..
Since I am pointing directly at the transactional database, I can't make any changes at the database level, so I will have to do it in OBIEE layer, any ideas how it could be done?
