Controlling the Date Format

Hi
A sample web dynpro application displays information regardding Flight information with the flight date.
This application is integrated in portal too.
However, there is a requirement that end user can adjust the date format as yyyy-mm-dd or dd-mm-yyyy or mm-dd-yyyy format.
I changed these options in Windows Regional settings to different values for the short date and long date formats. Unfortunately these changes do not reflect in the iView.
Is ther any setting at the iView when developing the portal content or any other way to allow the user to see the date in the format he likes ? if yes, what needs to be done ?
Thanks
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
Try to use the browser locale setting instead of Windows regional setting.  You can get the browser locale
setting from the below code
Locale locale = request.getServletRequest().getLocale();
Then use this locale data pattern and display date formats according to user browser locale settings.
Hope this helps.

  • 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,
    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.

  • Change the date format

    By default the component <af:selectInputDate> shows the client machine's date format when the image is clicked. How can we change the date format of the same irrespective of the client machine's date format
    <af:selectInputDate accessKey="D" label="From Date:" readOnly="yes"
    value="#{EvalBean.fromDate}"/>Also
    1. How can we validate the date range also?
    Eg: From Date should not be greater than To Date
    2. Should not allow the user to select Date (From Date or To Date) greater than today's date.
    Uday

    If you want to do it at the page level you can use the
    <f:convertDateTime pattern="dd/MM/yyyy"/> jsf converter inside your date field
    and also the af:validateDateTimeRange tag to limit the date range.
    If you don't want to do it in every single page and you are using the ADF Model layer for binding you can define a control hint on your date field that specify a format mask. You can also add a method validator to your date field to verify the range.

    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!

  • How can I change the date format in Reminders and in Notes?

    How can I change the date format in both Notes and Reminders? Preference on Imac and Settings in IOS do not allow me to change the format in those 2 apps.
    I Like to see 10oct rather than 10/10, as an example.

    I do not have Mavericks or iOS - but the first thing I would do is reset the defaults - I'll use Mavericks as an example
    From If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac - Apple Support
    OS X Yosemite and Mavericks
        Open System Preferences.
        From the View menu, choose Language & Region.
        Click the Advanced button.
        Click the Dates tab.
        Click the Restore Defaults button.

    Change the language and formats used to display dates, times, numbers, and currencies in Finder windows, Mail, and other apps. For example, if the region for your Mac is set to United States, but the format language is set to French, then dates in Finder windows and email messages appear in French.
        Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Language & Region.
        Choose a geographic region from the Region pop-up menu, to use the region’s date, time, number, and currency formats.
        To customize the formats or change the language used to display them, click Advanced, then set options.
        In the General pane, you can choose the language to use for showing dates, times, and numbers, and set formats for numbers, currency, and measurements.
        In the Dates and Times panes, you can type in the Short, Medium, Long, and Full fields, and rearrange or delete elements. You can also drag new elements, such as Quarter or Milliseconds, into the fields.
        When you’re done customizing formats, click OK.
        The region name in Language & Region preferences now includes “Custom” to indicate you customized formats.
    To undo all of your changes for a region, choose the region again from the Region pop-up menu. To undo your changes only to advanced options, click Advanced, click the pane where you want to undo your changes, then click Restore Defaults.

  • How do I change the date format?

    Sorry, but I'm new to Oracle!
    I'm using "sqlplusw" to build my SQL statements. When I return columns that are date fields, I get the DD-MON-YY format. I want dates to be returned in "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS". My DBA won't change the date format on the server, so how do I change SQLPLUS to return dates in the format I want? Do I need set this in some kind of startup file, or a reg key?

    There are a couple of ways you could do it.
    Way 1:
    Search for a file by name 'glogin.sql' on your client work station and add the following statement
    alter session set nls_date_format = 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS';Make sure you save the file. This change will apply to all users who will log into the database using SQL*PLUS from your machine.
    Way 2:
    Create a shortcut and place it some where (for example on the 'DESKTOP').
    Right click on the short cut and choose properties.
    Change the text corresponding to the 'Start in' box to reflect the current location of the shortcut.
    Create a file by name 'login.sql' and place it in the same folder as the shortcut.
    Edit the file and add the following line.
    alter session set nls_date_format = 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS';Make sure that you save the file.
    When you double click the shortcut to start SQL*Plus and login, the script 'login.sql' is executed.
