Changing date and time format

Hi all,
I got date and time value as 20051219 and 235959 resp.
I want to convert it into standard format that is 19.12.2005 and 23:59:59.
How should i dothis,or which function module should i used.
Thanks and Regards,
Sugeet.

Using the WRITE statement
data: gd_date(10). "field to store output date
* Converts date from 20020901 to 01.09.2002
write sy-datum to gd_date dd/mm/yyyy.
* Converts date from 20020901 to 01.09.02
write sy-datum to gd_date dd/mm/yy.
DATA time TYPE t VALUE '154633'.
WRITE: time,
/(8) time USING EDIT MASK '__:__:__'.
Using Function modules
data: gd_date(8). "field to store output date
* Converts date from 20010901 to 01SEP2001
gd_date   = sy-datum.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_OUTPUT'
    EXPORTING
      input         = gd_date
    IMPORTING
      OUTPUT        = gd_date.
Hope this helps.

How to change date and time format

Hi experts,
Can i know how to change the date and time format?
I want the date format to be dd-mmm-yyyy and time format to be hh:mm:ss
These date and time is in my sapscript form.
I make use of PERFORM function in sapscript.
This is the code in my print program.

Loop at lt_jcds into wa_jcds.
      qaname = wa_jcds-USNAM.
      qadate = wa_jcds-UDATE.
      qatime = wa_jcds-UTIME.
   READ TABLE out_tab INDEX 1.
   MOVE qaname TO out_tab-value.
   MODIFY out_tab INDEX sy-tabix.
   READ TABLE out_tab INDEX 2.
   MOVE qadate TO out_tab-value.
   MODIFY out_tab INDEX sy-tabix.
   READ TABLE out_tab INDEX 3.

   MODIFY out_tab INDEX sy-tabix.
endloop.
clear wa_jcds.

I want to change the date format to 12-MAR-2008
and the time format to 11:55:36
Can anyone please suggest on how to solve this?
Thank you.

Hi,
Before assigning the QADATE value you can write the logic to display 20080312   as 12-MAR-2008 taking the offset values .
Like
qadate = wa_jcds-UDATE.
qatime = wa_jcds-UTIME.
lw_year    = qadate(4).
lw_month = qadate+4(2).
lw_date    = qadate+6(2).
case lw_month.
when 1.
when 2.
        concatenate lw_date '-FEB-' lw_year into qadate.
when 3.
      concatenate lw_date '-MAR-' lw_year into qadate.
endcase.
READ TABLE out_tab INDEX 2.
MOVE qadate TO out_tab-value.
MODIFY out_tab INDEX sy-tabix.
And you can also change the timeformat also .
then assign that value to qatime .Then
READ TABLE out_tab INDEX 3.
MOVE qatime TO out_tab-value.
MODIFY out_tab INDEX sy-tabix.
I think this helps you.

Rajitha.

How do you change the date and time format in Pages

I've tried changing the date and time format a number of times for Pages but it does not change. I'm going to the System Preferences/Language and Text and Formats. I make the changes click on OK and go back to Pages. NO change.

Hi Uncle,
Page 116 of the Pages'09 User Guide: Control Click the date, Edit Date and Time.
Date and time can also be in a table. Format the table cell.
The User Guide is well worth a read. Download it from the Help menu in Pages.

Date and Time formats change in transfer rules

Hello Experts,
Could someone please help me to fix the following issue with DATE AND TIME format.
I have two info objects zdate with data type DATS (length 8) and ztime with data types TIMS (length 6).
The data in the data source (alalertdb table) is in the format of date dd.mm.yyyy and time in hh:mm:ss.
Now when i am trying to extract the data, the load is failing because the system is taking dd.mm.yyyy length as 10 and hh:mm:ss length as 8. My infoobject
only alows 8 for date and 6 for time.
Do I need to write any routines in the transfer rules? If yes please share the code.
All the inputs are much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Harish

Hello ALL,
Thanks for your inputs.
Adios, I will try your routine if I am not tru with the formula. Thank you very much for your reply.
Bjorn, Your formula sounds quite simple. can you please eloberate the information.
When I used the formula for the date field its giving me an error with message FORMULA ELEMENT IS NOT ALLOWED HERE.
Formula I used is:
LEFT( 2, < /BIC/ZOOH_DATE> ) & SUBSTRING( < /BIC/ZOOH_DATE>, 3, 2 ) & RIGHT( 4, < /BIC/ZOOH_DATE> )
can you also please let me know what results the formula brings.
Thanks and Regards,

Menu bar date and time format in Lion

Is there a way to change the formatting of the date and time shown in the menu bar in Lion? I've been googling for a while, but can't find a solution. At the moment the time has a very unusual format of <hh:mm.ss>. Note the '.' before seconds. What I want to achieve is to change that dot to a colon as it normally is (and was in Leopard and earlier, don't know about Snow Leopard), ie. <hh:mm:ss>. I've checked the date and time formats in system settings several times, but those have no effect on the menu bar. When I set the clock to display an analogue icon and click on it, the date and time in the popup menu are shown correctly using the full format.

johankytt wrote:
Well ofcourse I am. And no, I am not using a third party utility. This functionality has been available in OSX for ages.
I never noticed that option!
It works ok for me (with a colon, not a dot).
Is it possible you have a dead pixel where the top dot of the colon should be?

ESS services date and time format?

Hi,
How can we change the date and time format displayed on some of the ESS services like addresses, LR screen? Currently I see US format date MM/DD/YYYY and time is in european format 12,50 instead of dot(.).
I tried changing the browser setting to UK but it didn't work. Any other suggestion please?
Thanks
Praveen

I tried to create a simple WD application with just date control UI element, I can see the date format is displayed based on my browser setting. If I change it to US in my browser locale, it date format changes to US date format, if I change it to UK locale the date format is UK based.
Only my ESS/MSS applications are always displayed as US format. I checked at the iView level and I can only see ForcedRequestLanguage but I cannot see ForcedRequestCountry property so I'm unable to set any country specific details here. When I look at the JCo connection language tab, I see the
Current locale: en
Default VM locale: en_US
I think this is where change is required. However I changed following JCo languages from en to en_UK but still no luck
SAP_R3_HumanResources
SAP_R3_HumanResources_MetaData
Backend is checked as posted above.
I checked below which is the second precendence in determining locale
Portal mandatory locale -- open file prtDefault.properties on server under
/usr/sap/<SID>/JC#/j2ee/cluster/server#/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/web-inf/portal/system/properties/
I cannot find below mandatory parameters in the prtDefault.properties file
request.mandatorylanguage
request.mandatorycountry
However, I found this
request.defaultlanguage=en
request.defaultcountry=us
Is this something I can change? Or should I replace or should I add mandatoryLanguage/country?
Can this file be edited through NWA or should this file be edited manually at the file system level?
Please advice.
Thanks
Praveen

Not allowed to change date and time for some photos; why?

I have some images that I scanned in of old photos. I'm trying to change the date and time and location to reflect the time the original photo was taken. I know how to do it in the menu system, but when I try to change the original data it tells me they are of a file type that won't allow this metadata to be changed. They are simple JPEG's so I'm not sure what the problem is. Do I need to convert it to some other format first to be able to do this? Any ideas would be helpful...

Hello Toran,
are trying to change the date and time of the versions only, or are you trying to change the date and time of the masters too? If you are using
Meta Data -> change date and time
deselect "also change master file", this causes the problem, the new Aperture version seems not to allow to change the date and time of masters.
There have been long discussions on this problem, see e.g. this thread; I do not know if somebody has found a solution by now,
Regards, Léonie

Hi,
I didnot under stand your first question coulf you be more specfic.
2. Ans : In general , we will follow the below steps
--First we we check for the file is picked or no, if not see the Sender side CC parameters like mode and path details
--If file was picked then we need to check whether we are using the File content conversion parameters or not if yes we need to check the FCC parameters ,
Goto RWB-Channelmonitoring by the following link
http://host:port/mdt/channelmonitorservlet
select the sender side CC name and check for errors
If no errors in above, goto SXMB_MONI for Integration Engine xml processing , check for successful or error occured black or red color
--if success in SXMB_MONI then we need to check in RWB as above channel monitor now select the receiver side CC
If no errors then check for output file is placed intarget or not
Please reward points if it helps

Please advise whether there is a FM which check on the format on the time stamp also.
Note: the input of the data and time is done by the user.

Hi,
       use the new OOPs concept,
PARAMETERS dateTYPE c LENGTH 10.
DATA matcher TYPE REF TO cl_abap_matcher.
* For date
matcher = cl_abap_matcher=>create( pattern = `[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{2,4}`
                                   ignore_case = 'X'
                                   text = date ).
IF matcher->match( ) IS INITIAL.
MESSAGE 'Wrong Format' TYPE 'I'.
ELSE.
MESSAGE 'Format OK' TYPE 'I'.
ENDIF.
like dis pattern for time :
[0-9]{1,2}:[0-9]{2}
pattern for timestamp:
[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{2,4} [0-9]{1,2}:[0-9]{2}

Changing Date and Time

I have selected both photos and event separately in several attempts to change date and time in Photos/Adjust Date and Time without success. Each time I have attempted to do so another date and time has replaced the previous one but each has been incorrect. Some dates have been inserted dating back several centuries!! The time as well as the date has been incorrect.
I would appreciate suggestions and help in making the change correct.
Thanks.
Vernon

I also have this problem. One folder in particular is affected; within it after a few times to get it into the 2000's from 1900's, it is currently showing 1539.
I am at a loss since the batch change roller lets me select the correct year in iphoto.
I thought it might be a glitch in the older software so upgraded to the '11 iphoto. This made no difference at all.
This is still an issue unless the original poster got an answer or worked it out him/her self.
I also use Picasa on the same system but since it gets the photos from iphoto, it gets its errors there too.

Why does calendar keep changing dates and times on icloud

My calendar keeps randomly changing dates and times when using icloud and it is doing my head in.
Is there a simple way of rectifying this or do I have to get rid of icloud altogether (to save my sanity?)

If this is an iCloud calendar, you might want to check your time zone and time zone support settings. Go to icloud.com, sign into your iCloud account, click your name at the top and choose Account Settings, click Time Zone and be sure it shows the correct time zone and that you have selected a city near you. Then open your calendar on icloud.com, click the gear-shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, click the Advanced tab and make sure you have not checked time zone support at the top.
On your iOS devices, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Time Zone Support (in the Calendars section) and make sure this is set to Off.
