Convert yyyymmdd date format to mm/dd/yyyy

hi,
I convert the date fomat in my program from yyyymmdd to dd/mm/yyyy format using this code:
WRITE it_pos-bldat TO i_outpos-bldat MM/DD/YYYY.
I declared the bldat field by: bldat(10) TYPE c so that the field will contain the '/' character.
The output of my program is in alv format and the problem is when I sort the bldat field, it will be sorted as a character field and not by date.
Ex. 01/06/2005
    02/23/2004
    03/12/2006
    04/09/2004
It should be sorted like this:
02/23/2004
04/09/2004
01/06/2005
03/12/2006
Please let me know how I can convert into mm/dd/yyyy format and can still be sorted in the alv by date.
Thanks!
Eric

Convert the date of string to datetime format 'MM/dd/yyyy' when the system date format is 'dd/MM/yyyy'.

I need convert the date of string format 'MM/dd/yyyy' to datetime format 'MM/dd/yyyy' when the system date format is 'dd/MM/yyyy'.Since
I need to search values based on date where my database datetime is 'MM/dd/yyyy' format.

In my opinion you should re-consider the assumption that the date picker returns a string. Maybe it is able to return a
DateTime object directly instead of string. Then you will pass this value as a parameter of SQL query. This should work regardless of computer configuration.
Otherwise, follow the previous string-based approaches.

Convert Oracle date format masks to Java format masks

Have an application based on Oracle that stores data in text form (for display) and in native date format. It is being migrated to another application with a Java based front end that can only use Java format masks to display the dates in the desired display format.
Is there a way to translate the Oracle format masks to Java? I can do this in SQL or PL/SQL using the database or in Java.
I really don't want to write detailed code to parse the masks, although if parsers are available to take an oracle mask into its metadata (minute, year, etc), it may be possible for me to write the code.
This seems like something that must have been done many times over the years. I would prefer to reuse workable code rather than reinventing the wheel.
To be clear, I do not need to alter data or convert dates shown in string form. Just the format masks so the new app will display dates in the same manner as the old app. Fortunately, both apps handle interpreting the format masks in their native technology, so it is just converting the format mask.

kenmadsen wrote:
Both applications have a varchar2 column and a date column. A date picker selects and returns the date in native format for storage and the application uses the mask to format the varchar2 column for display (and storage). The old application uses an Oracle date format mask DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI and the new application uses Java date masks (DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm). (I may not have the translation from HH24 to hh correct).
The date column and the display column store the same information (a date), but one is stored natively and the other is displayed as the application administrator want the particular row to be formatted for display. (the mask is a column in the same table as the other 2 columns). Each row has characteristics (other columns) that determines what the data is and how it should be shown (some things need to show time; others only the date)
So the problem is, when migrating, the new application cannot render the dates as the old app did because "Mon" is Oracle format, not Java format.
No data is being converted in the migration, except for the mask itself. Both applications have the same record structure with respect to these columns and they both use the mask to generate the formatted varchar2 data for display in the application and storage.too bad you insist on try to describe with words rather than actual CODE.
Please explain again why this is an Oracle problem & NOT a Java problem?
Oracle RDBMS is a data repository & can't automagically change data content for you.

How to convert any date format to default US format using javascript???

Hi,
I was trying to convert a date format to default US date format. The date format will vary according to different regions (It can be dd/MM/yyyy or MM/dd/yyyy or yyyy/dd/MM or any). I need to convert it in to MM/dd/yyyy always (US Format). Please give some
solutions for the same.
Warm Regards,
Tony Joy

hi
it is not trivial task in common case. We faced with similar issue when tried to localize date times in display templates in Sharepoint 2013 depending on site's locale, which can be done only via javascript. In order to do it you need to add date time locale
information from server side to client side, e.g. by defining global variable. See the following article for details:
Localize datetimes in display templates in Content by search web parts in Sharepoint 2013. I extended OTB global object _spPageContextInfo with new property (as far as I remember this object is also available in Sharepoint 2010):
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function() {
if (typeof (_spPageContextInfo) != "undefined" &&
_spPageContextInfo != null) {
<%
var ci = new CultureInfo(1033);
var cultureSerialized = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(
new
name = ci.Name,
dateTimeFormat = ci.DateTimeFormat,
numberFormat = ci.NumberFormat
%>
_spPageContextInfo.currentCultureSerialized = <%= cultureSerialized %>;
</script>
Having different date time formats for your locale, you may use
Date.localeFormat function from MS Ajax for formatting the date in specific format. If in your case format is predefined you may hardcode it without adding DateTime formats from server side.

Hi,
you can use SimpleDateFormat to parse Date objects to formatted Strings
SimpleDateFormat (Java Platform SE 7 )
Note that dependent in your Date type you may deal with Date or SQL Date in ADF BC. SqlDate woild need to be converted to Date first and then parsed into a formatted String. I suggest you Google for SimpleDateFormat examples

How do I get the date format of MM/DD/YYYY to be recognized in Numbers?

I recently switched from Windows and Excel. All the bank details that I export from my bank have dates formatted as mm/dd/yyyy. Excel has no issues dealing with this but Numbers will not recognize the cell contents as a date. Any help?

I have similar problems with data copied & pasted from a banking web page into Numbers. I always first check to see that the cells are formatted as date & time, but that doesn't always fix the problem. The problem usually ends up being spaces before and/or after the numbers in a cell.

HI,
How can we change data format from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY in Prompt and Report Level in obiee 11g.
Please help me ont this.
Thanks

Hi,
In Prompt:
Try using EVALUATE function.
Eg: Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'DD-MON-YYYY')
Report level:
Try this in the column formula-
Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'MM/DD/YYYY')
(or)
EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' AS CHARACTER ( 30 ), "Dim- Date".Start Date, 'MON-YY')

Don't know why this is happening.
