Converting Date Strings to Months

I need to know how I can convert a Date String to a Month.
For example, my Date String is 2/19/09, I need this converted to return February. I need one formula which will take in account for all months.
I am currently using the following to convert to a date, but I'm not sure how to then convert this to return a month... January - December.
CStr({?EndDate},"yyyy-MM-dd")
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Thank you so much, this does give me the month.
How can I use this to group my report by month and then under it by received date?
For example...
February
    2/1/09     Ticket information.....
    2/2/09     Ticket information.....
    2/18/09   Ticket information....
March
    3/1/09     Ticket information.....
    3/2/09     Ticket information.....
    3/18/09   Ticket information....
And so on....
Thanks again in advance.

Converting date strings

I have a date string in the format "14/11/2003 16:13:56" and I need to convert it to another string in format "2003-14-11" how can I do it?
I've tried the DateFormat and SimpleDateFormat classes but I can't manage to make it work.
Thanks in advance.

thanks TimTheEnchantor, that worked fine.
Here's the code in case someone else needs it:
        String date="05/11/2003 15:22:19";
        Date convDate;
        SimpleDateFormat formatterIn;
        SimpleDateFormat formatterOut;
        try {
        formatterIn = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
        convDate=formatterIn.parse(date);
        formatterOut = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-dd-MM");
        date=formatterOut.format(convDate);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            date = "";
        }

Converting date string

What is the easiest way to " April 26, 2009" to "04/26/2009."
Thanks.
Pedro

The easiest way is to coerce the string to a date object, then extract the elements a you want them:
set theStr to " April 26, 2009"
set d to date theStr
return ((month of d as integer) & "/" & day of d & "/" & year of d) as text
As long as AppleScript can coerce the initial string into a date object this should work for any date.

CONVERT   DATE RANGE INTO MONTHS

HI FRIENDS,
ACTUALLY IN MY SELECT-OPTIONS I HAVE USED DATE BETWEEN 03/06/1980 TO 04/12/1980
BASED ON THIS DATE I HAVE TO CALCULATE NUMBER OF MONTHS.
WILL THIS BE DONE AUTOMATICALLY OR I NEED TO WRITE ANY CODE FOR CONVERTING THE DATE RANGE INTO NUMBER OF MONTHS.
REGARDS
SIRI.

Hi,
Use FM's : MONTHS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES_NEW
           MONTHS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES
           FIMA_DAYS_AND_MONTHS_AND_YEARS
Sample code :
DATA : x_no_months type i.
DATA : x_stdat like sy-datum,
       x_enddat like sy-datum.
       x_stdat = s_date-low
       x_enddat = s_date-high
CALL FUNCTION 'MONTHS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES'
    EXPORTING
      i_datum_bis = x_stdat
      i_datum_von = x_enddat
    IMPORTING
      e_monate    = x_no_months.
x_no_months will contain no.of months.

Converting a string into mySQL date format

I have a bit of code that collects data values from a bean and I want it to then insert this into a mySQL database. My string is in the format "23/12/1983", how can i put this into a date field in my database? The bit of code I have got so far looks like this...
String month = formHandler.month + "/";
String day = formHandler.day + "/";
String year = formHandler.year ;
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
sb.append(day);
sb.append(month);
sb.append(year);
String myDate = sb.toString();myDate is the value that I want to go into the database

Limo2kz,
The key to inserting a date into a database is to convert the date string into an SQL friendly format. i.e. yyyy-MM-dd.
One way of doing this is as follows:
SimpleDateFormat NICE_DATE_FORMAT =
new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
SimpleDateFormat SQL_DATE_FORMAT =
new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date date = new Date();
try {
date = NICE_DATE_FORMAT.parse(dateString);
} catch (ParseException pe) {
pe.printStackTrace();
String sqlDate = SQL_DATE_FORMAT.format(date);
Now it is just a matter of creating the insert statement like normal, and making sure that the date string is in quotes.
I hope that helps.

Hi,
The above error appears due to date format is differnt from SAP query generator and SQL server.
So you need convert all date in above query to SQL server required format.
Try to convert..let me know if not possible.

In your post you ask how to convert a string value to a date. The value returned from the Get-AdUser is already a date. It does not need to be converted.
Bill has sshown one way to convert a date to a string and there are other methods. You need to clarify your question.
If you are really trying ot convert strings to dates then you can start with this:
[datetime]'01/21/1965 13:33:23'
Most date strings aer autodetected by the class.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You can search the forums for that error message and find previous discussions - they all boil down to the same problem. Somewhere in your query that calls this function, the code invoked implicitly converts from string to date/datetime. In general,
this works in any version of sql server if the runtime settings are correct for the format of the string data. The fact that it works in one server and not in another server suggests that the query executes with different settings - and I'll assume for
the moment that the format of the data involved in this conversion is consistent within the database/resultset and consistent between the 2 servers.
I suggest you read Tibor's guide to the datetime datatype (via the link to his site below) first - then go find the actual code that performs this conversion. It may not be in the function you posted, since that function also executes other functions.
You also did not post the query that calls this function, so this function may not, in fact, be the source of the problem at all.

How to convert a String("yyyy-mm-dd") to the same but in Date format ?

Hi,
can anyone plz tell me how to convert a String to a date format.I'm using MSACCESS database.I want to store this string in the database.So i need to convert it to a date format since the table is designed such a way with date/time type for date field.I used SimpleDateFormat ,but i can't able to convert.The code is given below:
coding:
public String dateconvertion(String strDate)
try
SimpleDateFormat sdfSource = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date date = sdfSource.parse(strDate);
SimpleDateFormat sdfDestination = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd ");
strDate = sdfDestination.format(date);
catch(ParseException pe)
System.out.println("Parse Exception : " + pe);
return(strDate);
}

i used prepared statement even now i am getting error like this.....
i have included the prepared statement package also...
my coding:
ResultSet rsdatetemp = null;
PreparedStatement ps = null;
String query ="select distinct itemcode from sales where bill date between ? and ?";
ps = precon.prepareStatement(query);
ps.setDate(1,d1);//d1 and d2 are in date format
ps.setDate(2,d2);
rsdatetemp = ps.executeQuery();

Select I_NOTE_DESIGS.END_DATE AS ENDDATE
However in my results the date hows as 01-APR-29.
I was wondering if there is a way to convert this over to another date string ie: I would like the date in this column to show 2029-04-01. I am not bothered if the time comes out at the end, as I have a program which can delete that.

Hi Jon, and welcome to the forums.
I was wondering if there is a way to convert this over to another date
string ie: I would like the date in this column to show 2029-04-01.
I am not bothered if the time comes out at the end, as I have a program which can delete that.select to_char(to_date('01-APR-29', 'dd-MON-YY'), 'yyyy-mm-dd') from dual;
select to_char(to_date('01-APR-29', 'dd-MON-YY'), 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss') from dual;
Please be sure to read the forum FAQ. Also, read the "sticky" thread by BluShadow at the
top of the list of posts on the forum home page.
Always give your version of Oracle - the answer can vary greatly with version - although
not in this case.
These forums are a great resource - you will get the maximum benefit from them
