Check the date format

Hi,
Can anybody tell me how to check the date format in BDC while updating.
The system date format is like mm/dd/yyyy. Check the dates format, in case of error return the following message The date format should be YYYYMMDD.
Thanks......

Dear Anil,
This is a common problem, when carrying out BDC.
For example, while recording you met with the field --> MKPF-BUDAT.
Go to SE11 --> MKPF --> Search for BUDAT --> Double click on the Data Element i.e. BUDAT --> Double Click on the domain DATUM --> You can see under the block Output Characteristics : Output Length = 10.
While declaring the TYPES Structure, make it CHAR(10).
Consider this technique as the Rule-of-Thumb while doing BDC.

How do you add a CONSTRAINT for a VARCHAR(10) column to checks the Date format as yyyy/mm/dd

I have tried:
ALTER TABLE dbo.tablename
ADD CONSTRAINT DF_Date_format
check (SDate LIKE '%[1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9]/[0-1][0-9]/[0-3][0-9]%')
******But this does not work for VARCHAR data type ********
and
I also tried creating a function as shown below but I got an error when trying to add a constraint with this function.
(error is:
'The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the CHECK constraint "DF_Date_format". The conflict occurred in database " databasename ", table "dbo.tablename", column 'Date'.)
Create FUNCTION [dbo].[CheckDateFormat]
(@Date varchar(10))
Returns BIT
AS
BEGIN
Declare @RETURN BIT
SELECT @Return =
Case when (substring (@Date, 5, 1) + substring (@Date, 8, 1)) = '//'
then 0
else 1
end
Return @Return
END
ALTER TABLE dbo.tablename
ADD CONSTRAINT DF_Date_format
check
( dbo.CheckDateFormat(SDate) = 0 )

As noted above, be mindful of the performance implications of UDF CHECK constraints:
http://www.sqlusa.com/bestpractices/udf-check-constraint/
The following logic works:
Create FUNCTION [dbo].[CheckDateFormat]
(@Date varchar(10))
Returns BIT
AS
BEGIN
Declare @RETURN BIT
SELECT @Return =
Case when (substring (@Date, 5, 1) + substring (@Date, 8, 1)) = '//'
then 0
else 1
end
Return @Return
END
GO
CREATE TABLE Orders (ID INT IDENTITY(1,1),
OrderDate varchar(10),

GO
ALTER TABLE Orders

As noted above, DATE is a better choice for column data type.

Thanks..Ask your source what the date format is. If it is constantly changing then the format needs to be transmitted also.
Imagine a string (that could represent a date) like this:
10-01-11
it could mean:
10th of January 2011
1st of October 2011
11th of January 2010
1st of November 2011
11th of October 2001 (highly unlikly but still possible).
How should an automated system decide which is the correct date? You need to establish a rule that includes a date format and therefore returns the correct value. Or even better: Deal with dates, not with strings. This is especially for those Java/VB programmers who have no real clue what a data type is ment for.

Error with the data format in the TXT file, sending as an Email attachment

Hi all,
I have an problem in the data formating in the TXT file while sending as an attachment via an email by using the FM "SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1".
For eg:
The data in the TXT file is looking like as follows:

Problem in Date Format when user chages the date format in preferences

I want to generalize my code so that user can change what ever Date format he wants, I will get the date from the page in the format yyyy-mm-dd, and if the Date Format is
set to MM/dd/yyyy in prefernces i need to use MM/dd/yyyy and if the Date Format is set to dd-Mon-yyyy in prefernces i need to use dd-MMM-yy, so my question is how to know what Date format is set in the preference so that i can have all the possible date format for inserting the date
Thanks
Babu

Babu,
The date format in OAF Pages is controlled by profile ICX: Date format mask.This profile can be set at site as well as user level for the individual users to set the Date format.
But I would advice not to go for setting different profile values at user level, because i remember some old threads, where seeded Oracle pages fail, as code their is not generalised to handle date formats.
If your are planning to have this in ur custom page, go ahead, but do check the entire flow is working fine for different values of this profile at user level.

How to give the Fiscal year period in RSA3 for checking the data.

Hi BW Experts, good morning.
We have loaded the data monthlywise with selection parameters as Fiscal Year Period(FISCPER).
While checking the data consistency in both R/3 and BI, the selection parameter which i have given is in the format of         001.2005
I got the records in BI side.
But if we give the same format In RSA3 in the Fiscal Year Period tab , we r getting 0 records.
So kindly help me how to enter the selection parameters for 1 month.

How to check the date and time when a material is blocked

Hello,
Please tell me how can i check the date and time when a material is blocked or unblocked.
Regards,
Priyanka

Hi Pryianka,
Are you speaking about blocked status of material master ('X-plant matl status' > MM03 > Basioc view 1; 'Plant-sp. matl status' > MM03 > MRP 1) or your problem is to find out the date when your material was booked into blocked state (stock category).
If your problem is about mmr you can use the above mentioned MM04 (or MM03 > menu > Environment > Display changes).
If your problem is to find out when your goods were posted to blocked stock you have to use MB51 + relevant movement types (e.g. 103, 344) + batch + etc. ()

How to convert the date format 'm/d/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM' to 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:M'

How can i convert a the date format 'm/d/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM' to 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM' in Oracle
I have a query
select UPPER(t.val_10) "TYPE", count(val_3) "Number of Transfers"
from table1 t
where t.is_active = 1
and t.val_4 = 'INBOUND'
and to_date(to_date(val_5,'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM'), 'DD/MM/YY') between to_date(to_date('01/08/2008 00:00:00','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), 'DD/MM/YY') and add_months(to_date(to_date('01/08/2008 00:00:00','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), 'DD/MM/YY'),1)
group by UPPER(t.val_10)
order by UPPER(t.val_10)
I get the error [ORA-01861: literal does not match format string which i think is because
val_5 has the values in the following format:
8/29/2008 6:31:10 PM
Does anyone have an answer?
Thanks in advance
Edited by: user2360027 on 26-Mar-2009 03:50

first off, you've got to_date(to_date(...)) - NEVER do this - you're forcing an implicit to_char which can cause all sorts of problems!
What is the data type of your column val_5? If it's DATE then your query is simply:
select UPPER(t.val_10) "TYPE",
       count(val_3) "Number of Transfers"
from   table1 t
where t.is_active = 1
and    t.val_4 = 'INBOUND'
and    val_5 between to_date('01/08/2008','DD/MM/YYYY') and add_months(to_date('01/08/2008','DD/MM/YYYY') ,1)
group by UPPER(t.val_10)
order by UPPER(t.val_10)If it's a varchar2 (why, oh why, oh why, ...?!), then your query should be:
select UPPER(t.val_10) "TYPE",
       count(val_3) "Number of Transfers"
from   table1 t
where t.is_active = 1
and    t.val_4 = 'INBOUND'
and    to_date(val_5, 'mm/dd/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM') between to_date('01/08/2008','DD/MM/YYYY') and add_months(to_date('01/08/2008','DD/MM/YYYY') ,1)
group by UPPER(t.val_10)
order by UPPER(t.val_10)Remember that dates in DATE format are stored in an internal Oracle format - in order for you to tell Oracle that your string is a date, you need to use to_date. When you want to retrieve a date, you need to use to_char to put it into the format you want to see it in.
Remember also that your nls_date_format defines the default format that you'll see a date, which is what is used in the implicit conversion that oracle does when you select a date:
SQL> alter session set nls_date_format='dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss';
Session altered.
SQL> select sysdate from dual;
SYSDATE
26/03/2009 11:01:53
1 row selected.
SQL> alter session set nls_date_format='mm/dd/yy hh12:mi:ss AM';
Session altered.
SQL> select sysdate from dual;
SYSDATE
03/26/09 11:02:24 AM
1 row selected.It doesn't make sense to convert something that's already in a DATE format into a DATE format - in order to do that, oracle has to first change the date into a string, and it does that by using the nls_date_format parameter setting - if you're working with dates-in-strings that are in a different format, then all sorts of problems arise, as you have found out!

Hi,

HT4859 How can I verify that my App data is actually stored in iCloud. With Dropbox, I can actually see my stored files. With iCloud, itseems I'm supposed 2 just trust that Appl has the data. Short of doing a restore is there no way to check the data?

How can I verify that my App data is actually stored in the iCloud. I can see and access my notebook, contacts etc. on the iCloud website, and I can see my photos in a folder on my Windows-based desktop compter (iCloud/Photostream). But no app data.
With Dropbox, I can actually see all of my stored files. With iCloud, it seems, I'm supposed to just trust that Apple has my back. Short of deliberately trashing my app data and then attempting a restore, is there no way to check the data?

You can't access them on Windows (unless you have iCloud enabled Windows programs) and I don't think any are, yet.
iCloud data is accessed via Apps/Programs, the Windows programs vendors will have to step up (just to make it worse Microsoft have not yet enabled their Mac programs, such as Office yet) I doubt that iCloud access is much of a priority for them, complain to MS, when enough Windows users complain maybe they'll do something.

Check the date format
