Compare Date to Integer

I am a new student to java and I have been working on an assingment for two weeks. It's all done except for the comparing part I cannot figure out how to read
integers from a file and compare them to todays date. I have todays date from
Date() and the file has the date in integers. when I read the file I cannot compare
them to the todayDate.
Samlpe File Line:
"String" "String" "String" int Month int Day int Year "String'
Goal to read and output only the records written in the last 7 days??
Help please!

you need to create a new Date object and set the components (e.g. day, month etc.) of it using the parts of the integer extracted from the file. Presumably the integers are of fixed length, so therefore you know exactly where each component is in the integer. Then you can fall back on Date's compareTo() method, or suchlike.

Compare date

hi all, the below code has one error in compare date : today >= expiredate. In this program, i want to compare if today is greater than expiredate, then status = overdue write to table named totalday. thanks

Thanks for your reply. it got no error, but the code changed status to 'overdue' at all fields of status include the date '30/04/2004. is the code something wrong??Thanks

Create files and compare data

I have an aplication that can recive data (an integer and string), it stores it in a datafile and adds the date and time.  However, I need that everytime a new set of data cames, it ctompares it with the rest of the data stored in the same file. If it the integer (key) is repeated, it should be stored in a different file if not, it should be stored there.
I been able to read and write data files in different vi, but I can't makean application that does everything at the same time. I will appreaciate any suggestions.   I'm new with LabView and there is a lot I dont know yet.
Thank you!!!!

Thanks for your suggestion. However, the main problem is not how to read and write together but how to compare the data. I started by writing and reading vi becuase I wanted to insolate every part of my program, be sure it works and then build on top of it.   The complete application should do something like:
--Open two files, one for new data, one for repeted data
-- User enters data -> a key as integer and some string
-- compare the new key with ALL the keys already stored in the file.
      -- if the file is empty or no key is found in the file, write the data in the file for new data
     -- If the key is repeted, write the data in the file for repeted data
-- Keep doing this until the user stops the application.
What I really need is to be able to compare the recent entered data to what was entered before. I chose to save data in a datalog because it seemed the best solution and because I also needed to store the date and time. However, if there is any other way to store the data and compare it, please let me know. I tried arrays and clusters by themselves but it wasnt easy. Datalogs worked fine storing data but now comparing is too hard because I dont know how to read the file, record by record while comparing it to the new data I just got.
I hope this is a little bit clearer!

Compare data in R/3 with data in a BW Cube after the daily delta loads

Hi Friends,
How can I compare data in R/3 with data in a BW Cube after the daily delta loads? Are there any standard procedures for checking them or matching the number of records?

Hi Sunil,
If you want to check the records daily instead of checking the data in R/3 manually ......
You can try this...
If you have staging DSO(level 1) that means whatever data is in source system load it to Staging DSO without any routines or any modifications.
Now load this DSO data to Cube or DSO(level 2) as per your requirement with routines etc.
Now Staging DSO contains Source system data.
Now the level 2 Cube or DSO contains BW data with some modifications.
Now create a Multiprovider based on level 1 and level 2 data targets.
Now create a report on which keyfigures you want to test the data.
In Multiprovider there is a field called 0infoprovider in data packet dimension.
you can drag this infoprovider to the columns and restict your keyfigures with level 1 and level 2 data targets.
In the first column you can see the level 1 DSO data ( source system data),in the 2nd column you can see the BW data.
Now create a formula which gives the diffrence b/n level 1 and level2.
that is R/3 data - BW data.
If the diffrence is zero both R/3 and BW data are same.
if the diffrence is not eqaul to zero check whether any routine is there or not.

Comparing data b/w biw and oltp

hi
Could some one can halp me how to compare data between biw and oltp system.which has been extracted.
Thank for your precious time spent to help me in learning.
Thanks,
Jagadeesh

Jagadish,
It is not always all extracted data are coming from one standard table and comparison is easy. most of the time from multiple tables. There are couple of things you can do.
1. If you know any R3 functionals you can inquire about reports available that produce the same kind of column groupings.
2. If no one exists or do not get much help from them, and if you have SQ01 access in R3 you can create a query to bring the same columns fromcorresponding tables (This is a harder because you need access and need to findout from where data is coming from though info is available in help.sap.com).
3. more practical would be select a small subset of data, with right filters in your selection columns of the info package and extract data, at the same time use the same selection in RSA3 (R3 side) to extract data and compare. This should tell you whether what you have in R3 is matching with the extracted data.
4. After your transformations you can compare the same with your info provider (cube or ODS) contents as well.
hope this helps,
Award points if useful.

Comparing data in different resultsets

Hi everybody!
I am working on an web application involving some EAI, as a requirement i need to compare data from two different sources (databases to be precise) and fill a XML based on certain rules. I wish to know if there is a way to compare two ResultSet objects (with almost similar data) directly, or the only way to do is compare each value seperately.
Also please suggest from efficiency point of view if its viable to store data from resultSet to a certain struc kind of object and then comparing, as it would involve lots of overhead compared to directly comparing the two resultsets.
TIA
Abhishek

i have to compare various columns of each row and assign flags in output xml as to note if data is inconsistant, though i am taking measures so as to get the rows in the same order in both result sets, but the primary purpose of this comparison is indeed to check data integrity between both the sources.

Table_comparison - how to compare data at a high level

Hi,
I have to do data validation at a high level between two tables that I am loading.
I am trying to use table_comparion transform but the problem is that my target table is at a much lower level than at which I want to compare data. So it has many more columns (both key and data fields) than what I want to compare.
Does the output of query transform ( which I am using as input into table_comparion) be in the exact same format as comparion table? If not, then can somebody suggest me something else.
Or how can I compare output of two query transforms ?
Thanks,
Saurabh Bansal

Dear Saurabh,
Not sure if you have already got the solution to this. If yes please close the thread.
If not, i would suggest you can use the validation rule to compare the two tables and then based on the PASS or FAIL result can check what needs to be done on the output.
Do post back if you have got the solution or you need any furthur help or else close the question.
regards,
Den

Compare data from a table

Hello, I am trying to compare data from one and the same table. In short I have:

How to export the data as integer into excel sheet?

Hi All,
I am working on export to excel functionality and using JEXCEL API to create it. When I export the data to excel sheet, the data are stored in text format in the excel sheet. If I click on summation button on excel sheet, it is not summing up the column values since it is stored as the text format.
I am writing the following code:
for(Iterator iter = columnInfos.keySet().iterator(); iter.hasNext();){
String attributeName = (String)iter.next();
for(int index = 0; index < dataNode.size(); index++){
try{
IWDNodeElement nodeElement = dataNode.getElementAt(index);
String colVal = nodeElement.getAttributeAsTex(attributeName);
Label value = new Label(j, index + 1, colVal);
sheet.addCell(value);
j++;
Here colVal is the variable which holds the data in string format. So I was just trying to convert it into integer format and used Integer.parseInt(colVal).
But Label keyword accepts only the int,int,string arguments.
Is there any other option to change it as integer value while exporting to excel sheet.
Pls suggest.
This is very urgent.
Regards,
Subashini.

Hi Gopal,
Pls refer the following link.
/people/subramanian.venkateswaran2/blog/2006/08/16/exporting-table-data-to-ms-excel-sheetenhanced-web-dynpro-binary-cache
I have used the same coding which is mentioned in this link.
And also I cannot use integer.parseInt(colval) because new Label() will accept only the int,int,string as parameters.
Here goes my to excel method code which exports the data to excel sheet .
private FileInputStream toExcel(IWDNode dataNode, Map columnInfos) {
String fileName = "output.xls";
IWDCachedWebResource cachedExcelResource = null;
int i = 0;
try{
File f = new File("output.xls");
WritableWorkbook workbook = Workbook.createWorkbook(f);
WritableSheet sheet = workbook.createSheet("First Sheet", 0);
for(Iterator coluinfoitr = columnInfos.keySet().iterator(); coluinfoitr.hasNext();){
Label label = new Label(i, 0, (String)columnInfos.get(coluinfoitr.next()));
sheet.addCell(label);
i++;
int j = 0;
for(Iterator iter = columnInfos.keySet().iterator(); iter.hasNext();){
String attributeName = (String)iter.next();
for(int index = 0; index < dataNode.size(); index++){
try{
IWDNodeElement nodeElement = dataNode.getElementAt(index);
String colVal = nodeElement.getAttributeAsText(attributeName);
Label value = new Label(j, index + 1, colVal);
sheet.addCell(value);
catch (Exception e){
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(" Data Retrive Err :" + e.getLocalizedMessage(),false);
j++;
workbook.write();
FileInputStream excelCSVFile = new FileInputStream(f);
cachedExcelResource = getCachedWebResource(excelCSVFile, fileName, WDWebResourceType.getWebResourceType("xls", "application/ms-excel"));
wdContext.currentContextElement().setExcelDownload(cachedExcelResource.getURL());
workbook.close();
It is exporting the data in text format. So I am unable to sum up the column values in the excel sheet.
I need an alternate solution wherein I can export the data in integer format to excel sheet and then sum up the column values by clicking on summation button.
Hope I am clear now.
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Subashini.

Report Builder Error: [BC30455] Argument not specified for parameter 'DateValue' of 'Public Function Day(DateValue As Date) As Integer'.

Hi there!
I'm trying to calculate the difference between two days using DATEDIFF (). I use following code for this:
=DATEDIFF(DAY, CDate(Fields!Eingang_Kundenanfrage.Value),CDate(Fields!Ausgang_Angebot.Value))
Every time I try to save the report, I get this error message:
[BC30455] Argument not specified for parameter 'DateValue' of 'Public Function Day(DateValue As Date) As Integer'.
The DataSource is a SharePoint List and the Date is given in the following format: 23.05.2014 00:00:00 (DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM:SS).
I've googled for a working solution for a long time now, but I had no success.
Is there someone who can help me?

Hi Lucas,
According to your description, you want to return the difference between two date. It seems that you want to get the days. Right?
In Reporting Services, when we use DATEDIFF() function, we need to specify the data interval type, for days we can use "dd" or DateInterval.Day. So the expression should be like:
=DATEDIFF(DateInterval.Day, CDate(Fields!Eingang_Kundenanfrage.Value),CDate(Fields!Ausgang_Angebot.Value))
OR
=DATEDIFF("dd", CDate(Fields!Eingang_Kundenanfrage.Value),CDate(Fields!Ausgang_Angebot.Value))
Reference:

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Comparing data from two tables

My PL/SQL is very limited, however, I need to write some code that compares data stored in two different Oracle tables and then writes the differences to a third table. Both tables have primary keys that I will use to ensure I am comparing like for like. These tables could be large.
Any help on the best way to do this, or any code examples would be very appreciated.

One fairly efficient way of doing this is with set operators. The following code is untested - but looks right ;). It also assumes you want to know the provenance of the rows; if not, just zap the literal from each SELECT statement.
INSERT INTO diff_tab SELECT * FROM
( (SELECT 'tab1nottab2' AS provenance, t1.col1, t1.col2 FROM tab1 t1
     MINUS
     SELECT 'tab1nottab2', t2.col_a, t2.col_b FROM tab2 t2)
     UNION ALL
     (SELECT 'tab2nottab1', t2.col_a, t2.col_b FROM tab2 t2
      MINUS
      SELECT 'tab2nottab1', t1.col1, t1.col2 FROM tab1 t1)

How to compare date which is greatest date

iam new to sql
how to compare date which date is greatest date with example
can i use to_char to compare date
SELECT eno, ename, GREATEST (TBLE.MAX1, TBLE.MAX2) recent_date "
               FROM (SELECT TBLA.eno, TBLA.ename, "
               MAX (TO_CHAR (TBL.date1, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI') "
               ) MAX1, "
               MAX (TO_CHAR (TBL.date2, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI') "
               ) MAX2 "
               FROM dual TBL, dual2 TBLA
in above query if any one of the date having null value then recent_date is showing 'null'
and also it showing wrong value
example
date1='08-22-2009' and date2='01-23-2010' then it showing wrong recent_datel ike='08-22-2009'
as according my knowledge it is comparing with month it sholud not be like this wat i have to do pls explain with example my o/p should come for recent_date like =''01-23-2010''
Edited by: user9112274 on Aug 27, 2010 5:31 AM

Hi,
there are numerous ways to compare dates, i give you some examples:
with data_Sample as
(select to_date('01-jan-2001','dd-mon-yyyy') d1, to_date('01-mar-2002','dd-mon-yyyy') d2, to_date('03-feb-2002','dd-mon-yyyy') d3 from dual)
select greatest(d1,d2,d3) from data_Sample
GREATEST(D1,D2,D3)
3/1/2002
with data_Sample as
(select to_date('01-jan-2001','dd-mon-yyyy') d1 from dual union all
select to_date('01-mar-2002','dd-mon-yyyy')   from dual union all
select to_date('03-feb-2002','dd-mon-yyyy') from dual)
select max(d1) from data_Sample
MAX(D1)
3/1/2002
declare
d1 date :=to_date('01-jan-2001','dd-mon-yyyy');
d2 date :=to_date('01-jan-2001','dd-mon-yyyy');
begin
if d1>d2 then
dbms_output.PUT_LINE('d1 greater than d2');
else
dbms_output.PUT_LINE('d1 less or equql than d2');
end if;
end;
output:
d1 less or equal than d2now concerning your question:
>
can i use to_char to compare date
>
If you have date data types : don't convert them.
if you have no choice, use something like:
if to_char(d1,'YYYYMMDD') > to_char(d2,'YYYYMMDD') then
else
end if;Take care when you convert a date into a char format it becomes string comparison (with all it implies) (It's the reason why i've use an explicit mask format).

How to compare date and time together

Hi,
How to compare Date and Time together?
For example in a database table there are two fields rundate and runtime. I want to compare these two with perticular date and time in the program. Like, I want to pull all the records where the records's date and time are less than a perticular date and time in the program.
Hope the question is clear...
Thanks.

RegardsPoint a) VERY BAD IDEA storing dates as VARCHAR2 on the database. It will only lead to corrupt data in the future.
Point b) When comparing dates, you should compare them as DATE datatype as the database knows how to do comparisons against DATES. If you try and compare them as VARCHAR2 then you will most likely end up with incorrect comparisons.
If you must have varchar2 storing of your dates/times (there's absolutely no reason to though)... you want...
TO_DATE(:entered_date,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS') BETWEEN TO_DATE(DATEFROM,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS') AND TO_DATE(DATETO,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS')
e.g.
TO_DATE('20080815 13:23:33','YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS') BETWEEN TO_DATE(DATEFROM,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS') AND TO_DATE(DATETO,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS')

How manage two numbers files in the same screen to compare data

Hello,
I have two - 2 numbers files that I want to compare data between them in the same screen, How can I do that? Like in Excel you can compare two differente files in the same screen with the option windows cascade or something like that.
Please Help Me.....

First, turn off the abomination that is called "Full Screen" -- ported from the iPhone, land of tiny screens and single tasks.
Then resize the first window to take up half the screen and place it on the left. Open the second spreadsheet and resize its window and place it on the right.
Compare.
