Converting a Java style date into useful format

If I am calling a web service that returns a Java style date as a numeric value, such as 1177651563767 (milliseconds since 1 Jan 1970), how can I display this as a human readable date (hh:mm:ss dd-mm-yyyy? I have looked at the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/40/a228173435437394f54c56de571ca4/frameset.htm">SAP help pages on date functions</a> and the
<a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC/DateandTime+Formats">wiki page on date and time formats</a>, but neither seems to help.
My Java date is a numeric.
Thanks

Hi Michael,
you can call the webservice with another webservice or an RFC and then use Java or ABAP to convert the value into the right format. My opinion is as you mentioned that there is no way with VC. Maybe you can use a time function (DADD as it is described <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/40/a228173435437394f54c56de571ca4/frameset.htm">here</a> and sum up to 01/01/1970 your [value in seconds]/60 this should work, but I never tested it.      
Maybe this works, but this isn't a good solution anyway.

Marcel

  • How to convert BLOB data into string format.

    Hi,
    I have problem while converting blob data into string format.
    for example,
    Select dbms_lob.substr(c.shape.Get_wkb(),4000,1) from geotable c
    will get me the first 4000 byte of BLOB .
    When i using SQL as i did above,the max length is 4000, but i can get 32K using plsql as below:
    declare
    my_var CLOB;
    BEGIN
    for x in (Select X from T)
    loop
    my_var:=dbms_lob.substr(x.X,32767,1)
    end loop
    return my_var;
    I comfortably convert 32k BLOB field to string.
    My problem is how to convert blob to varchar having size more than 32K.
    Please help me to resolve this,
    Thanx in advance for the support,
    Nilesh

    Nilesh,
    . . . .The result of get_wkb() will not be human readable (all values are encoded into some binary format).

  • Converting a result of query into XML format

    Hi,
    I am going to use DBXML,DBBOM and DBXSL
    ie PLSXML utilities to convert the records returned after querying the data into XML format.Is it possible to do this using these packages?
    Should i use Oracle SQL XML Utility?
    Which would be better?

    I've used both utilities and I personally like the concept of SQL Utility. I'm still
    having some problem with encoding issues
    but it seems a better tool to use with Java.
    If I'm just going to be using PL/SQL, I'll
    use PLSXML utilities. Note that PLSXML does
    not support SAX nor will XSQL servlet work
    with it.

    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);

  • Put java.sql.Date in correct format

    I need to put java.sql.Date in correct format to query an Oracle database.

    I have looked at the API and many other forum threads on this, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    In the class with the PreparedStatement, I pass the date like this:

  • 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?

  • JTextfield input Date convert to java.sql.Date

    Hi. I have a textfield for users to input date in 'dd/mm/yyyy' format and I would like to format this input into java.sql.Date to be stored into a database. How should I go about doing that ?
    I did the following:
    SimpleDateFormat formatDate = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/mm/yyyy");
    java.util.Date invoiceDate = formatDate.parse(jTextField3.getText());
    java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(invoiceDate.getTime());and when I input into jTextField3 the value '28/05/2008' , I found in my database '2008-01-28'. January and May is a few months off and is totally not what I wanted.

    Hi you did you code perfect, but you need to change the pattern for formatting the Date
    dd - date
    mm - minute
    yyyy - year
    here you are parsing month as minute, so the output may wrong..!
    If you need to format properly
    please use the below pattern
    {color:#0000ff}SimpleDateFormat formatDate = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");{color}

    Wrong forum! You need to post the question in a JDeveloper forum.
    https://community.oracle.com/community/developer/english/development_tools/application_development_in_java/jdeveloper_and_adf
    If you use the free Oracle sql developer (based on JDeveloper) you could just write a simple query to get data in CSV (not xls) format:
    SELECT /*csv*/ * from myTable
