Hi guyz,
Anyone knows how to convert gregorian to hijri date? Any function module or method?
Thanks,

Hi Kesavadas,
Check class cl_abap_datfm
method conv_isl_to_greg_formula
It is is not working fine.
25.06.1434 = 06.05.2013 it is wrong.
25.06.1434 = 05.05.2013 it is Correct.
Please give a solution for that issue.

that *is* a ready to use convertor. to convert the islamic
calendar dates to
gregorian (well to cf datetime objects) you use the
i18nDateParse function. you
can ignore the rest of the methods in that CFC (though if you
deal w/this sort
of thing once, you'll likely deal with it again). the only
tricky bit is knowing
if the original islamic dates are based on civil or religious
calendars.

Gregorian-Hijri Dates Converter

You may ask... What is Hijri Calender?
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijri">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijri</a>
The Islamic calendar or Muslim calendar (also called "Hijri calendar", Arabic) is the calendar used to date events in many predominantly Muslim countries, and used by Muslims everywhere to determine the proper day on which to celebrate Islamic holy days. It is a lunar calendar having 12 lunar months in a year of about 354 days. Because this lunar year is about 11 days shorter than the solar year, Islamic holy days, although celebrated on fixed dates in their own calendar, usually shift 11 days earlier each successive solar year, such as a year of the Gregorian calendar. Islamic years are also called Hijra years because the first year was the year during which the Hijra occurred Muhammad's emigration from Mecca to Medina. Thus each numbered year is designated either H or AH, the latter being the initials of the Latin anno Hegirae (in the year of the Hijra).

Convert georgian date to hijri date at specific date

Hi all,
I'm new in PL/SQL , I use Oracle database 10g in windows xp .
could any one help and provide me with code that accept any Georgian date
and convert it to hijri date
best regard
new user
thanks

the solution would go along the lines of
to_date(to_char(<date column>,'format model','*NLS_CALENDAR=<code for Georgian>*'),'format model', 'NLS_CALENDAR=<code for Arab/Hijri')
as per the description of to_date in the SQL reference manual.

Regarding sql function error for Hijri date to Gregorian date

Hi ,
I want to convert Hijri date format into Gregorian date format . i write the script with sql function like this

print($Gregorian_Date);
here $Hijri_Date data type is varchar and $Gregorian_Date data type is date.
but I am getting error like

please help me out to solve this problem .
Please suggest any other solution to convert hijri date format to gregorian date format.
Thanks&Regards,

Hi ,
In Data quality there is no inbuild function for converting hijri date to gregorian date . we have the function for converting julian date to gregorian date.

Gregorian to hijri and viceversa javascript

I have a Javascript for a Hijri / Gregorian calendar.
I need to get it into Adobe Acrobat PDF.
The business requirements for this are easy. Just take the script i give you and get it to work in Adobe Acrobat PDF.
The technical side is tricky. I haven't been able to make it work. When I do it, the conversion works 1 time when you first open the document. then, it only works one way after that. (from gregorian to hijri, never the other way around.)
1. This MUST be done in Acrobat XI, Not LiveCycle.
2. I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I can't use any other version right now. So this must be able to work on XI and then people need to be able to open and execute this in Reader.
Here is the code I have written from a HTM file..
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

Hi,
Issue 1 - it doesn't convert to Hijri date, only Julian date for Hijri (doesn't show the Hijri date but does show two Gregorian dates).
I am sorry I don't actually know how to convert between the dates, I only used the code that you provided in your initial post and called that from the Acrobat PDF form,
The sample I provided is how to call the code above using Acrobat.
Issue 2 - I want to be able to have the dates default (if blank) to today's date
That is easy enough to do in that you just use JavaScript to get the current date and time using the Date object.
And it can convert dynamically as you could just attach the code to the change or exit events of the objects that you are using to select the date and run the code.
I kept my sample simple and used buttons so it is easy for everyone to see how the code is called as you can look at the preferences of each button to see the JavaScript that is used.

How to display hijri date..

hi everyone!
can someone tell how to convert georgian date into hijri date...
and if the date is some old date....
thanks and regards
Tariq.

Here are a few things you might need to know.
1.How to set Calendar to "Arabic Hijrah" ?
2.How to display both Hijrah and Gregorian dates in the same select statement?
3.What is Calendar Deviation?
4.How to set deviation?
Questions & Answers
1.How to set Calendar to "Arabic Hijrah" ?
Answer
Set NLS_CALENDAR parameter in one of the following ways:
1. In the Current session :
SQL> alter session set NLS_CALENDAR="Arabic Hijrah" ;
2. All applications for a specific client:
Set NLS_CALENDAR Variable in client OS environment.
<e.g: On NT: set variable in the registry
On Unix: set UNIX environment variable in .profile/.cshrc>
3. Within SQL function:
SQL> select to_char(sysdate,'day dd month yyyy','nls_calendar=''arabic hijrah''')
from dual ;
References
<Note:30772.1>
2.How to display both Hijrah and Gregorian dates in the same select statement?
Answer
select
to_char(sysdate,'day dd month yyyy','nls_calendar=''arabic hijrah'''),
to_char(sysdate,'day dd month yyyy','nls_calendar=''gregorian''')
from dual ;
References
<bug:1302683>
3.What is Calendar Deviation?
Answer
Since Hijrah month is based on the moon complete revolution around the sun, Hijrah
Calendar has different number of days in a year than Gregorian; therefore some manual
deviation adjustement might be needed for the conversion to/from Gregorian. In other
words HIJRAH calendar is Lunar based, corrections need to be made every so often.
4.How to set deviation?
Answer
1. Shutdown the database
2. Edit lxecal.nlt (lxecal.dat in Oracle7) in $ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls.
e.g: to add one day after Sep-29-2000:
DEFINE calendar
calendar_name = "Arabic Hijrah"
DEFINE calendar_deviation
deviation_data = {
<"Sep-29-2000 ad">:1
ENDDEFINE calendar_deviation
ENDDEFINE calendar
Note: Gregorian date specified in the deviation should correspond to one of
29th, 30th or 31th days of the hijrah calendar.
3. Run the NLS Calendar Utility lxegen to register your modification to Oracle calendar
system, this utility generates lxecalah.nlb file in the same directory mentioned above.
4. startup the database.
The same procedure can be followed to subtract days, but number specified in the
deviation_data should be greater than 10.
<e.g: 11 --> subtract one day, 12 --> subtract two days ...etc>

Hope this helps

Convert string to a date

Gurus,

How to convert from line chart data to CSV format

Hi ,
I am using Flex 3 and AS.
I am getting data from MS SQL and display the data as line
chart this is ok.
But i want to convert this line chart data to CSV or .xsl
format.I find one example in fourms the from data grid to CSV
For this URL is
http://www.abdulqabiz.com/blog/archives/flash_and_actionscript/datagriddataexporter.php
But i want Line chart to CSV.Please help me.

Line chart is a just a visual representation of some data
that's sitting in your database. Isn't it? You load this in Flex,
probably using HTTPService class, and pass it to some chart object.
Now when use says that she needs it in CSV format, you're
gonna have to send another request to the server to produce the
same data, convert into CSV or XLS format and let user download it.
Of course, if use doesn't want to download, you don't have to
go to the server, at least for CSV format. You can convert the same
data that used plot the chart to convert to CSV.
Am I missing something here?

Problem in converting the String to Date with time zone GMT

Hi,
When I tried to convert the string 12/05/2009 to Date, the time zone is set to BST.On the other hand, for the date 12/12/2009, the time zone is set to GMT. What should I do to get the time zone as GMT all the time.?
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
String dateString = "12/05/2009";
System.out.println(myDate.toString());

I think you are all missing the point. java.util.Date objects always alway always store the date as the number of milliseconds since 1/1/1970 UTC so the only TimeZone they have its the implicit UTC. When you use the Date.toString() method the toString() method gets the default time zone from your environment and formats the data accordingly. This means that the same Date object will, by default, produce a different result for France and Australia and the US.
So, if you have the date "12/5/2009" as a String then to convert it to a java.util.Date you must specify what TimeZone is implied. If it is your system time zone then you can just create a SimpleDateFormat object with the correct format and then use the parse() method to create the java.util.Date object and this will automatically be converted to UTC. If the date String represents some other time zone then you must explicitly set the time zone of the SimpleDateFormat object before parsing the string.
The same approach applies when converting a java.util.Date object to a String. If you want anything other than your system time zone then you must explicitly tell the SimpleDateFormat what time zone you want the result formatted for.

Error when converting time stamp in date time time zone CST in IC

Hi Experts,
We have recently upgraded from CRM 5.0 to CRM 2007. We are using IC WEB Employee interaction center.
so when agent create service ticket in interaction center and close the ticket on same day we are getting an error saying Error when converting time stamp in date time time zone CST.
we thought there may be problem while installing SAP CRM by basis team in time zone, but we did not find any problem.
So please advice how to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Teja

Hi Teja,
I saw a similar message, and it was resolved by adding a timezone to the user profile defaults tab in SU3. I believe the system has been configured to convert between users' timezone and the system timezone, therefore it needs to know each users' timezone.

Cannot convert from java.util.Date to java.sql.Date

          todayDate = sdf.parse(sdf.format(cal.getTime()));
          cal.add(Calendar.DATE, -60);
         Sixtydaysprior = sdf.parse(sdf.format(cal.getTime()));I have imported following files:

%>Shows up following error msg:

Thanks.

Shows up following error msg:
Type mismatch: cannot convert from java.util.Date to java.sql.Date
I don't think this exception is thrown from the portion of code you have shown. As clearly specified in exception message, you cannot cast an instance of java.util.Date to java.sql.Date. you will need to do something like this
java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
long t = today.getTime();
java.sql.Date dt = new java.sql.Date(t);
