String into date format

Hi
I was wondering if anyone knew how to convert a string into different formats,
to enable it to be stored in a mysql db.
I was wondering anyone you knew how to convert:
- String into the date format yyyy-mm--dd
- String into time format 00:00:00
- string to double
Ive tried:
c_date = java.sql.Date.valueOf(f_date);
System.out.println("conversion data: " +c_date);
c_time = java.sql.Time.valueOf(f_time);
System.out.println(" time converted data: "+c_time);
// string to double conversion
c_change = java.lang.Double.valueOf(f_change);
System.out.println(c_change);
My class doesnt execute this at all?
Also,
SimpleDateFormat sdft = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
c_date = sdft.format(f_date);
System.out.println(c_date);
.. but this method returns the error incompatible types?
Any suggestions would be helpful.. thanks in advance..

Red Line? Sounds ominous. I wonder what it means.
So...what does the error say?

Convert varchar2 field into date formatted: DD-MON-YYYY

Thanks in advance for anyone's help on this matter as I know it takes your time and expertise. I am pretty new to SQL but learning my way through it just have an issue with a text to date field conversion. It is an Oracle 10g database and I am writing in SQL. There is a field called Demand which is formatted in varchar2 format of ddmmyy. There is also a field that is formatted as a date called Payment which is formatted as DD-MON-YYYY.
Essentially I need to do a simple Payment >= Demand, however as you can see that is some issue with that being a varchar2 field. Does anyone know if it is possible to do that type of expression against those two fields. Was thinking about possibly converting the varchar2 to a date but not sure how to get to that DD-MON-YYYY format.
Also there are situations where this Demand field will often times be null as it would have never recieved any outbound correspondence in the past and would not have a date at all.
Thanks

Hi,
It's hard to detect bad dates in pure SQL, especially if you need to be precise about when February 29 is valid.
It's easy with a user-define function, like the one in [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=3669932&#3669932].

Hello,
I think u can achieve this at query level.
You can try variable with replacement path . In your scenario you will have to have 2 variables one for ex. 0SHIPDATE and another one for ex. 0GIDATE .
After that create formula ( Number of days ) of subtraction on this two variables .
Gimme ur mail-id , i will forward a doc on this if u want...

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"

String to DATS format conversion in XI.

Hello Experts,
I am using Powerbuilder system to get my Legacy data.In Powerbuilder Date needs to be supplied in STRING format.So I am giving String Format (dd-mmm-yyyy).
However, at SAP end, Date needs to be in DATS format (Standard SAP yyyymmdd) .
In Message Mapping I have given I/P structure as String and O/P structure as DATS format. When I test mapping in XI, it gives me Parseable error.
Can anybody tell me, is there any way in XI to convert from String to DATS format so that I do not get Parseable error.
Please Help!!!!

Lokesh,
With XI there is a date transformation function under date category there you need to provide source date format and target date format..
I have used the same for fetching the data from oracle..and posting into SAP..it works fine..
Try this ..this will solve ur problem....you just need to see what is the exact date format used by powerbuilder internally...
Regards,

Convert Number to the date format

Hello,
In CRM, i want to input the number as a parameter and convert the number into Date format. Is there any function module in CRM which accepts the number and gives the date as output .
Example.
suppose input given is 734484
output : 12-12-2011 .
The number 734484 reflects the total number of days from '0000' to 12-12-2011

'3' is a string. It is not equalt to the string '03'.
Do you want a NUMBER or a string?
If you want the 1-character string '3', then use 'fmMM' instead of 'MM'.
select TO_CHAR ( to_date ('MAR', 'Mon', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=American')
                , 'FMMM'
                )   AS m
from    dualTO_CHAR sometimes adds padding (sometimes spaces, sometimes '0's) to make elements a constant width. For example, some months need 2 characters for the 'MM' format, so TO_CHAR, by default, left-pads with '0's to make all months 2 characters, whether they need 2 characters or not. Using 'FM' (case insensitive) IN the format string changes whether or not this kind of padding will be added.
You could also use LTRIM to remove the leading '0's in this case, but why remove them when it's easier not to generate them in the first place?

Convert XML string into an abap format date and time

Hi,
Does anyone know of a method or a function module in ABAP which converts XML string into an abap format date and time.
Here is a part of the xml that I want to convert.
<ns2:EventDateTime>2009-07-02T10:13:45+10:00</ns2:EventDateTime>
<ns2:EventMessageTransmissionDateTime>2009-07-02T10:13:45.987+10:00</ns2:EventMessageTransmissionDateTime>
Currently EventDateTime and EventMessageTransmissionDateTime are type XSDDATETIME_Z and these are converted to proper dates and times. We will be changing these fields to a STRING instead of XSDDATETIME_Z. The reason for this is to make the field more versatile. The customer would be receiving dates with Zulu (2009-09-23T12:00:00Z), with offsets (2009-09-23T12:00:00+10:00/-10:00) and just local timestamp (2009-09-23T12:00:00). With this, we need to make the date fields as string
to be able to accept the various date formats (esp. the local timestamp).
I am looking for a standard function module or method that will convert the xml string to a proper date and time abap format.
Would appreciate anyone's help!
Thanks.
