Conversion from string "20041023 " to type 'Date' is not valid.

Hi ,
I have a table with one of the column(EmpHiredate) datatype is char(10). It has value like "20141023". I need to display this value as date format(dd/mm/yyyy) in report.
Following methods i tried in textbox expression but no luck.
=Format(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,"dd/MM/yyyy")
=Cdate(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value)
Error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun ‘EmpHireDate.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ contains an error: Conversion from string "20041023 " to type 'Date' is not valid.
Is it possible to convert string to date using SSRS textbox expression ? Can anyone help me with the solution.
Thanks,
Kittu

Hi Jmcmullen,
Found one more issue on the same. I have one value like "00000000" for the column(EmpHiredate)
, when i use above expression values(ex:"20141023")
are displaying in dd/MM/yyyy format in report except value like "00000000" and giving following error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun ‘EmpHireDate.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ contains an error: Conversion from string "0000/00/00" to type 'Date' is not valid.
Even i tried to pass its original value("00000000") as below but no luck.
=IIF(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value = "00000000","00000000",Format(CDATE(MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,1,4) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,5,2) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,7,2)),"dd/MM/yyyy"))
Also tried this:
=IIF(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value = "00000000","2000/10/21",Format(CDATE(MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,1,4) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,5,2) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,7,2)),"dd/MM/yyyy"))
Please Suggest.
Thanks ,

Conversion from string "" to type 'Double' is not valid

We're using BPC 7.5 MS and on patch level 111.02
There's two front-end servers and one back-end. we have about 100 users but concurrency is likely in the 50 range.
We've been running extremely well for about 4 years but are now starting to run into problems.
There are about 5-6 applications but none greater than 10 million records. We optimize regularly.
However over the past two months admin processes seem to take a lot longer. Optimization now times out after about 1.25 hours and none used to take greater than 15 minutes.
Today after processing dimensions we checked the application status and we were not able to check if it was available or not. We got a pop up box saying
conversion from string "" to type 'Double' is not valid
I've processed dimensions and applications since and still this error persists.
We're attempting a reboot to see if that helps but I've never seen this before and in combination with the slower admin processing I'm wondering if there's something drastic going to happen.
Michael

Hi Michael,
for the poor performances you have to check the guides about performance on bpc if you have scheduled regurarly optimize during day and night (just verify that never factwb reach 50.000 and fac2 500.000 records) maybe you need to change some parameter on the server as MaxThreads.
For the conversion string error on admin console see please this note 1803092 - Set application set status error

Deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'

Hi all
I am working with strings and i cant figure out why the following
warning appears at time of build.
warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'
It appears for the line
char *myName = "Apple.txt";
Is there anyone who can help me?
Help is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Any reason why you aren't using NSString in place of char?
char *myName = "Apple.txt";
NSString *myName = @"Apple.txt";

Plzzzzzzzzzzz help me I got strucked .
Thanks in advance
Code:
public void testSaveDates() throws HibernateException, ParseException{

Date date=new Date();You don't need this line.
Date dateFormatter = new
er = new
SimpleDateFormat("yyyy'-'MM'-'dd").parse(str1);;As already told, you don't need the single quotes. And you don't need two semi-colons - that's unnecessary.
I just wrote a sample code to test that out. Check it and see for yourself.
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class Test {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
          System.out.println(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse("2005-04-18"));
          System.out.println(new SimpleDateFormat("'yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'").parse("2005-04-18"));
}Output:
Mon Apr 18 00:00:00 EDT 2005
Exception in thread "main" java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2005-04-18"
        at java.text.DateFormat.parse(DateFormat.java:335)

Conversion from milliseconds to Date in 1.5

A java.util.Date object can be constructed by passing the number of milliseconds since 1 January 1970 as a constructor argument. This Date can then be formatted to a human-readable format with SimpleDateFormat.
I have tested this conversion from milliseconds to a date both in Java SDK 1.4.1 and Java 1.5.0 to see if there are differences in the way dates are calculated from milliseconds. It seems that there are differences when the system timezone is set to Europe/Berlin. The dates from 1.5.0 are one hour ahead of those from 1.4.1 in a certain week in May 1945 and a day in September 1945.
This means that milliseconds that are generated from a date by using the Java 1.4.1 runtime and then stored are interpreted differently when they are retrieved when using java runtime 1.5.0, if they happen to be one of those days in 1945. This could cause discrepancies when an application is migrated to JDK 1.5.0.
This is only a minor problem, but is there any way to know what caused these changes in SDK 1.5.0 and what these changes are? Is there historical data that the Sun implementation is based on to calculate dates from millisecond values?
Any help is appreciated.
Kind regards

I found the following at "http://thedailywtf.com/forums/70146/ShowPost.aspx"
In summer 1945, Berlin and the Soviet-occupied part of Germany observed a daylight savings time of two hours. Unfortunately, Sun's JRE 1.4 implementation of GregorianCalendar defines a maximum DST of one hour and, in non-lenient mode, rejects the 2 hours as invalid when recalculating all fields after the millisecond field is set.
Here's the bug report: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4639407

Conversion of string into date????????????

Can anyone tell how to convert a String into date??
if the string is in the format "Thu Mar 25 17:11:34 GMT+05:30 2004"
i have converted it. code is
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d yyyy HH:mm:ss");
     dateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+00:00"));
Date date = null;
try
          //date = dateFormat.parse(new Date().toString());
          date = dateFormat.parse(dateLine);
     catch(ParseException ex)
but i am not able to specify the year.
so when i getYear on the new Date it return 1970.

@duffymo, I'm pretty sure "d" is good for a two digit date, "dd" gives you zero-padding.
The problem, presumably, is that the format string "EEE MMM d yyyy HH:mm:ss" does not match the actual format "Thu Mar 25 17:11:34 GMT+05:30 2004".
The correct format string would be "EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss z yyyy"

Conversion of string to data(Flat file to sql server) Transformations

Convert from String to Date for storing in SQL Server 2000

Hi,
I've accepted some values from a user using a form in HTML.Now using Servlets I transfer the value to my java code .
I want to know how can I convert a DATE accepted from the user thats presently in "String" format to the "datetime" format for SQL Server2000.
Please guide me with some steps and I shall be grateful.
Thanks

The java.text.SImpleDateFormat class is most probably of use.
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
String enteredDate = "25/12/2006";
java.util.Date utilDate = sdf.parse(enteredDate);
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(utilDate.getTime());You can then use the java.sql.Date with the "setDate()" method of a prepared statement. This method would be database independant, as you are setting an actual date, not depending on a specific format on the database end.

Re:Parameter field change from "STRING" to "DATE"

Hi All,
I am calling an BEx Query to Crystal frontend.
The BEx Query has an Variable Input ( Date Restriction ).
The Varaible data type is DATS.
But when I am calling the BEx Query to the Crystal front-end this varaible data type is taking as "STRING".
I could not change the type to date at font-end as it is in display mode.We have refreshed the query but no result.
Is there any way we can change the datatype at front-end ?
Thanks,

Conversion from char to date

I have a filename as final_20120928_142334.txt
I have to get only date value from this as 20120928_142334
then I have to convert this into date time format as yyyymmdd hh24:mi:ss

To extract the actual filename into a table, use the code for the 'Retrieve File List' example in this document - on page 8.
http://s3.amazonaws.com/Ora/ODI_Waiting_for_a_file_and_processing_it.pdf
Then use the expression posted by 955950 above to format the string.

It's my first and second thought.
The original poster never showed us the code that didn't work for him.
It would have taken a whole two lines. When will people learn that
the best way to get help is to post a short example program demonstrating
their problem? I mean, it's not rocket science. Isn't it obvious that, instead
of writing "my code doesn't work, I get this error and oh by the way, I'm
not actually going to show you the format string that doesn't work" they could
just post the durn code. But no, that would make too much sense.
