Change Date Format in MSDS report

SAP EHS expert:
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 Wu

hi,
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.

Change date format in BEx report

There is a date field in report which is character type.
ZCOMDAT - compensation date (CHAR 8)
The output of this file in report is YYYYMMDD (20110422) format which is char
This should be converted to 22-APR-2011 in BEx report.
This object is used in many reports but only in this report it should be converted.
How can this be achieved?

Hi akshara,
Apart from the above mentioned approaches i have one strange solution . You might want to consider this .
You said you have an infoobject ZCOMDAT of type char(8) .
Proceed like this :
1) In the infoobject maintain medium text for this . Insert this characteristic as an infoprovider .
2) Now since this infoobject will have the dates in the master data and hence in /BIC/PZCOMDAT table .
Create a generic datasource on this table : /BIC/PZCOMDAT .
Now create a transformation between this generic datasource & the text master data of ZCOMDAT.
map date and objvers to the text in the transformation .
And write the following routine at the field level :
If SOURCE_FIELDS-OBJVERS = 'A'.
year = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/PZCOMDAT+0(4).
mon = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/PZCOMDAT+4(2).
dd = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/PZCOMDAT+6(2).
if mon = '01'.
mth = 'JAN'.
ELSEIF mon = '02'.
mth = 'FEB'.
ELSEIF mon = '03'.
mth = 'MAR'.
ELSEIF mon = '04'.
mth = 'APR'.
ELSEIF mon = '05'.
mth = 'MAY'.
ELSEIF mon = '06'.
mth = 'JUN'.
ELSEIF mon = '07'.
mth = 'JUL'.
ELSEIF mon = '08'.
mth = 'AUG'.
ELSEIF mon = '09'.
mth = 'SEP'.
ELSEIF mon = '10'.
mth = 'OCT'.
ELSEIF mon = '11'.
mth = 'NOV'.
ELSEIF mon = '12'.
mth = 'DEC'.
ENDIF.
CONCATENATE DD '-' MTH '-' YEAR INTO RESULT.
CLEAR:DD,MTH,YEAR.
endif.
After this load the the data . Now your text of this object will be having the date required in your format.
3) In the query level display text for this infoobject .The date will appear in the format as you desired .
You have to include the above flow in a process chain .
Using the above method will not effect your query performance also as the calculation are happening during loading .
Hope the above reply was helpful.
Kind Regards,

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.

HI Kishore
Thanks for your reply i checked all the things but with no success. do think there could be any other place where i should check .
1. nqsconfig date format
its same for both the two installations
DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mi:ss" ;
DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd" ;
TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "hh:mi:ss" ;
2. make sure that you didn't save date format in column properties from front-end
Just checked and we havan't saved anything in column properties .. even i created new report as well but still format was same ..
3. Did you mention anything in connection pool settings to set date format.
no we havan't mention anything in connection pool
4. Make sure that you are connecting to same database, and date format set for date is same here and there
yahh both the two installatiosn are connected to same database .. but not sure about "date format set for date is same here and there
" hw i can check this
finally, check this: http://108obiee.blogspot.com/2009/04/changing-date-format-mask-in-javascript.html

Date format in Discovere Reports

We have created a workbook with a parameter which is supposed to show up an LOV for a parameter in the MON-RR format. Now this LOV shows up
correctly in the Discoverer Desktop edition as MON-RR format, but when we view
the same in Discoverer Viewer it shows up as DD-MON-RRRR.
Earlier we had got a partial resolution on this issue (TAR 3891425.996), wherein by changing the ICX
profile value in Oracle Applications, we are able to set the date mask to MON-R
R.
But now the above profile applies to all the reports and all the dates show up as MON-RR, whereas we want to continue showing the date in DD-MON-RRRR forma
t in some of the reports.
How can this be achieved ?

How to change data format from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY

HI,
How can we change data format from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY in Prompt and Report Level in obiee 11g.
Please help me ont this.
Thanks

Hi,
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')

How to change Data 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
Marco

Marco,
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.

Changing Date Format in ALV List for VKM1 transaction

Hi All,
I have to change date format to MM/DD/YY in the ALV list display of VKM1 transaction. There are user exits available.
I am trying to use EDIT_MASK option of the field catalog.. Without changing the code, I give value as __:__:__ or MM/DD/YY in the EDIT_MASK field of the fieldcatalog during DEBUG. Just before the RESUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY is called.. but it is NOT showing any change in the display.
Please advice any alternate way to do the same.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
If u`ve access to User parameters, try tcode SU01 and give ur user name in the first parameter. Navigate to the defaults tab and you can find options for Date display and decimals display. Now identify the date format to your liking and change the same. From the next logon in ur user name, changes are reflected on your reports.
Reward points if my answer is worthfull.

Date format in ALV report

Hi all,
I want to change date format in ALV list that is displayed in wrong format.
I use this piece of code:
CALL METHOD r_alv_grid->set_table_for_first_display
    EXPORTING
      i_structure_name = 'ZSTANJEKOMISIONARA'
      is_layout        = gs_layout
    CHANGING
      it_outtab        = it_stanja
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS           = 4.
Problematic field of structure ZSTANJEKOMISIONARA is defined like this:
VRIJEDI_DO     ZEVO_VRIJEDI_DO     DATS     8
Now, date is displayed like this: 09.20.3009 insted it should be like this: 30.09.2009.
How can I change this? Thanks.

The data is internally stored in an external format. Go back to the program that filled this field, there is something missing there.
Look at FM like
- CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERN_FORMAT
- CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_INPUT
You only keep date in external format when filling a BDC, for most other input mode (BAPI and the like) data must be converted to internal format.

Raymond
