Combining Date and Time into 1 Field

Post Author: Marc Vaccarino
CA Forum: Formula
Hi,
I'm trying to write a formula to combine 2 fields (date and time) into one. I would like it to look like this.
2/12/2007 + 12:00pm = 2/12/2007 12:00pm
Thanks,

Thanks that worked but my problem is currently the date field I'm using has a date and time (12/12/2007 12:00am) and the time field has it as well (12/12/2007 1:45am). I've been going into crystal and clicked on format field and just showing the date and in the time field, just showing time. Then I would extract the report to excel then run another formula to get it to work. I'm looking to automate it a little. Any ideas??

Inserting Date and Time into a date field

Okay I am a bit of a Oracle newbie. I am trying to insert the following date and time into a date field and I don't know how to format the second part of the to_Date() function.
Date/Time: 5/29/2003 7:58:45 PM
Thanks,
Branden

I believe you would want
to_date( '5/29/2003 7:58:45 PM', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM' )
Note that tahiti.oracle.com has all of Oracle's documentation, including the very useful SQL & PL/SQL reference manuals, available for free.

Insert current date and time into Oracle date type field

I have a JDBC current date and time insert into Oracle 9i that almost works. It submits the current date and a fixed time into the Oracle date type field. I am using Tomcat 6.0.20.
For example if I insert the data at 7:24:04 PM on Feb 16, 2010 it will insert as: 16-Feb-2010 12:00:00 AM
The date part works but the time always shows 12:00:00 AM no matter what date or time the data is inserted.
Here is what I have for my JDBC inserts and I also tried something with DateFormat:
PreparedStatement ps; Date mydate = new Date(new java.util.Date().getTime()); //insert statement here.... stmt.setDate(1,mydate);
I also tried:
PreparedStatement ps; java.sql.Timestamp mydate = new java.sql.Timestamp(new java.util.Date().getTime()); SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat(.... //insert statement here.... ps.setTimestamp(1,fmt.format(mydate));
Both keep submitting the date into Oracle as 16-Feb-2010 12:00:00 AM
Anyway to get the current date and time? For example if I insert the data at 7:24.04 pm today it should show as 16-Feb-2010 07:24.04 PM in Oracle.

If you want a date and time then use java.sql.Timestamp.

Getting user name, date and time into 1 field

Hi All,
I have to add a new field in a customising include of AUFK table. This field should have user name, date and time. How do I store all these values in a single field of the table? Please help.

Ok Thanks all. Will try your suggestions. But there is one problem. As i have already mentioned that i will have to display this detail in one field of the table control, The format of display is: user name should be seen above and the date and time separated by space should be displayed below the name. How can i ultimately display this in the table control. Do i have to create 2 different fields (one for name and other for date and time) in the AUFK table or is there any other solution?
Thanks

Insert date and time into write to spreadsheet

Easy question here
I need save 4 arrays of data and insert the date and time that it was taken (LV 8.6)
for example
9/4/09 10:00:01 AM 4 6 7 2
9/4/09 10:00:02 AM 4 6 7 2
9/4/09 10:00:03 AM 4 6 7 2
9/4/09 10:00:04 AM 4 6 7 2
Any ideas, I can't wire the timestamp or date/time string right into the create array
Thanks
Chris
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok
the basic problem that I see is the the LabVIEW TimeStamp type is a cluster. Converting it to a dbl gives you a value in seconds elapsed since 1904 Jan 1 12:00AM GMT and, your spreadsheet cannot interprate that (or display that) as a "TIME." So, you want to convert it to a string (easy TS->String check the help for format options) BUT, you might want to pass all of your data as numbers into your spreadsheet so you can post-calculate or graph other outputs vs. TIME! This little chunk of code .....
converts a LV Timestamp to a number that Excel interperates as "the amount of days elapsed since 0 Jan 1900 @ 12:00AM LOCAL." You will need to format the cell in Excel to display it as a date-time But it can be operated on and graphed against with only Excel's limitations (Excel followed the Lotus bug of erroneously assuming 1900 was a leap year, and Leap seconds are unrecognized)
Enjoy!

CONCATENATE date and time into a text variable

Hi ABAP Gurus,
I would like to retrieve current system date and time and concatenate into a variable. I would really appreciate if someone could help me. I have the following code and i seem to get some kind of error.
I would like my output to be like:
     "22.JUN.2006 Some Text 12:30:22"
Code:
data: emtext     like TEMSG-EMTEXT.
data: date_output(50) TYPE C.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_SDATE_OUTPUT'
       EXPORTING
           INPUT          = SY-DATUM
       IMPORTING
            OUTPUT        = date_output.
SHIFT date_output RIGHT DELETING TRAILING SPACE.
CONCATENATE date_output ': Some Custom Message '
   INTO emtext.
Also, is there a function to convert time to text or conversion is not necessary?
Thanks.
Regards,
bw_newbie

Here is something a little closer to your requirement.
report zrich_0001 .
data: date(20) type c,
      time(10) type c,
      str type string.
data: xT247 type T247.
select Single * into xt247 from t247
          where MNR = sy-datum+4(2).
concatenate sy-datum+6(2) xt247-ktx sy-datum(4)
          INTO date separated by '.'.
write sy-uzeit to time.
concatenate date 'SomeText' time into str separated by space.
write:/ str.

Combine date and time fields to create datetime field

I have a column that is Data type: Time and one that is Data type: Date. I want to end up with one column that is Date type: Date/Time. Seems like it should be easy.
Thanks in advance for your help.

You can combine the two columns using the Query Editor. Let's assume you have two columns loaded into the Query Editor. The first column has the time column, and the second one has the date, you can follow these steps to combine the two:
Select the two columns.
Go to "Transform" tab, and click the "Merge Columns" (See screenshot below).
In the "Merge Columns" dialog select "Space" in the first dropdown menu, and type the new column name in the second control.
Click "OK".
Now you will see a new column in the Query Editor instead of the previous two columns.
Right click the column header and select Change Type --> Date/Time.
The new column will be converted into a Date/Time column.

How do I enter in a Date and Time into the InputDate tag

Using the default DataEditComponent.jsp page, I have an entity object with a Date in it. However, when you click on the calendar icon and populate the field with the date you can not add a time. How do you add a time to this field.
Create Date : 2002-08-23 and I would like to input 2002-08-23 16:30
Thanks,

Change your domain type for your entity object to Timestamp. You also need to edit your control hints to use a format that includes the time portion. Once this is done, you will be able to edit\update\display the time portion.

Getting Date and Time into a single field

Hi,
I am loading from a flat file which has field Start time which comes in the format of MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS ( Hour: Minute: Second). How can i bring this and store this in BW as one single field. Even in the source it is a single field.
I would also need to use this info object as a key in my ODS
Please advise,
Thanks
Rashmi.

You should user an infoObject/field for tyoe CHAR, length 24. Once you read this, in transfer rules, write an ABAP Code to seperate Data, time and AM, PM. Once you read all the characters from your source, its very simple ABAP to seperate them in Transfer Rules.

Seperate field containing date and time into two seperate columns

Hi
I have a column which contains entries which are in the format date time i.e. 27/10/2005 07:06:09
however i would like to have these as two seperate columns so the date is in one and the time in another.
how would i go about doing this in pl/sql?

im running a query in excel to graph a variable against time, however excel is not storing it correctly so when i try to use string manipulation to put the time on the x axis it's producing a long decimal number instead of the actual time.
i want to keep it in that format but also have it in two seperate columns. when excel makes the graph it will only read the same date over and over it won't get past the date to see the time changes.

Convert Local Date and Time into GMT

In Oracle how to convert date & time in GMT. Suppose the input will be local date & time e.g. ‘IN’, ‘15/11/2010 15:20:30’ ( country Code, DD/MM/YYYY Hr:Min:Sec in 24hr format) output should be in GMT format.

I don't think this should be in the OLAP subforum. At least try to look for the correct section before posting next time.
Apart from that, you can try a combination of the From_Tz and Tz_Offset functions.

Combining Date and Time

Hi All,
I need to show some duration , my fields are Duration in days and Duration in time e.g. 2 days 12 hrs.
My requirement is that I need to show both the things in one fileds as 2.5 days. Where can I do it cube level or my report level and how??
Thanks
NooN

You can do this a cube level.
Create a new key figure say ZDAYS choose amount and its unit as Days (I think you can hard code this as you need only in days else use 0UNIT as unit and populate corresponding unit in transformation).
In the transformation write a routine to do look up to your other two key figures which are in days and hrs and based on that populate your new key figure ZDAYS.
Hope this helps.

SSM calling Xcelsius and BO Reports combine datas and Universes into SSM

I would like to connect within SAP SSM reports and Xcelsius passing parameters to dashaboards of Xcelsius (with BO universes or not) and merge information from PAS Cube and data from other universes BO.
Could someone help me
Best Regards
Carlos Mardinotto

Carlos,
There are two different processes you use to get information into Xcelsius and into Universes. For Xcelsius you are using web services, since you are bringing in not only the data but the objective names, etc. to create the dashboards.
For getting PAS data into Universes you create an ODBO connection to Voyager and from Voyager you create a Universe.
In the Configuration Help guide for Strategy Management available from Service Marketplace (Installation & Upgrade Guides), Section 9.6 gives information on providing Strategy Management data for Xcelsius and Section 9.7 has instructions on providing Strategy Management Data for Voyager.

Bob

Date (date and time) with MySQL, register here!

Hi,
Summary:
I have a page (form) to capture attendance. It works, it allows user to enter their attendance details. On click, it writes to the database - table. The date is not captured on the form.

There are several ways. One is to get the date from the php time() function and use that in your insert statement. Another is to use MySQL CURDATE() function. But probably the easiest and best is to simply define the default value for the date/time column as the current date/time and exclude it from the insert statement. No code changes necessary.
