Converting input date alternative format

Hi,
I'm developing a screen form (not SQL Plus) in which I want the user to enter a date in any format and then convert it to another - for example,
User inputs - 02/03/2000
Form converts field from 02/03/2000 to 02-MAR-2000.
How do I do this ?
John

Do you want to allow many different formats or you want to allow the date entry in only one format always?
For example, if you decide that the date entry will be in the format of MM/DD/YYYY, then you can use
TO_DATE('02/02/2002', 'MM/DD/YYYY') to create a date type datatype from the input.
If you wanted to support multiple formats, then you would have to do some if-else logic to figure out the format in which
the user entered the date and use appropriate format within the TO_DATE function.

Date Format in Input Date Component

Hi,
I am using JDev 11.1.1.3.0. I have few Input Date component in the form. I need to display the selected date in upper case. Basically the month in upper case.
Currently it displays '01-Aug-2012'. I need it to be displayed as '01-AUG-2012'.
Tried adding format but still the month is displayed in initial caps. Really appreciate if someone can help me in fixing this issue.
Thanks
SR

There is no format to archive this. Check http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html which give you all format patterns used by the inptutDate component.
I have not tried this, but you should be able to use a converter, which you have to write yourself, to make the month uppercase.
Writing your own converter is easy, for a tutorial check http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/5/tutorial/doc/bnaus.html

Convert a date in String format to a Date

Hi,
How can I convert a date in String format to a Date object?
I have tried:
import java.text.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.sql.*;
public class casa {
public static Connection con = null;
public static Statement s = null;
public static String sql = null;
public static String mydate = "01.01.2001";
/** Creates a new instance of casa */
public casa() {
public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException{
try {
DateFormat shortFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
Date date = shortFormat.parse(mydate);
//Open Database
con = getConnection();
s = con.createStatement();
sql = "select date1 from table1 where date1 <= '"+date+"'";
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);
while(rs.next()){
String aba = rs.getString("datum");
System.out.println("New Datum = "+aba);
} catch (Exception ex ) {
ex.printStackTrace();
closeConnection(s, con);
//Connection
private static Connection getConnection() {
Connection con = null;
String user ="aouzi";
String passe ="aouzi";
String url = "jdbc:db2:EjbTest";
try {
//Datenbanktreiber laden
Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver");
//Verbindung herstellen
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,passe);
}catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
} catch(SQLException e){}
return con;
//close Connection
private static void closeConnection(Statement s, Connection con) {
try {
s.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {}
try {
con.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {}
I'm getting the following errors:
COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2Exception: [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2/NT] SQL0180N
The syntax of the representation of a date/time of day value as character sequence is false. .SQLSTATE=22007

I'm pretty sure it won't understand what date.toString() returns. If you know what format the database understands, you do it like this:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy"); // e.g. 18-Apr-02
String datestring = sdf.parse(date);
and use that instead of date in your sql string. Some databases understands it if you do
"to_date('18-Apr-02')"
so you could include that in your sql string as well..
You could also try to make it a java.sql.Date and hope your jdbc driver knows how to convert it to a string that the database understands if you don't know the format:
con = getConnection();
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("select date1 from table1 where date1 <= ?");
ps.setDate(new java.sql.Date(date.getTime()));
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);

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).
SELECT utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(tbl.geometry.get_wkt()) from FeatureTable tbl;
-- resulting string:

Å\(÷. . . .You may also want to have a look at { dbms_lob | http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_lob.htm#i1015792 } "The DBMS_LOB package provides subprograms to operate on BLOBs, CLOBs, NCLOBs, BFILEs, and temporary LOBs."

Inputing dates in non-US date format

I know this is an old issue, but I could not find it resolved in the discussions and threads had been closed:
I cannot figure out how to input dates using my preferred format mm/dd/yy (or dd.mm.yy, or even dd.mm.yyyy) despite having set it up that way in system preferences>international (using Irish, UK, or whatever settings).
This occurs in Address Book where I try to input Birthdays (which I want included in iCal). It appears to want to make everything the current year and month (if dd>12 which makes it confused about dd or mm) or (if dd>=12) it assumes you are entering mm/dd/yy (contrary to my settings in System Preferences). The only way I have found around this problem is to write birthdays out in "long hand" (e.g. 31 May 1935)... Oddly if you give it something like 3/2/12 it will make it 2 March 2012 (rather than 3 February 1912 as intended). Which would be unlikely to say the least...
Definitely not the kind of problem I would expect from MacOS!
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

To customize the date (and any other format) to your particular preference, go to System Preferences; select International; select Formats. In the Dates section, select Customize. A pane will appear with Show:. From here you can select Short, Medium, Long or Full.
As an example, I use Medium for my Mail using the dd mm yy format. To make this display, you simply move (rearrange) each of the elements of the day/month/format to your particular choice. You can insert any divider between each of these elements (I use a space).
If you prefer the truncated Julian Date (yyD) format (for specific message/signals processing), simply delete the existing elements from the format line, and drag and drop a date element from the table below the element format line. For Julian Date, I selected Year and then Day of Year (without a space). I then modified the Year format by clicking on the Year element, which then displays a white chevron to right of the numeral. Click on the white chevron and several format options are available. Click your prefered option. Repeat the same process for Day of Year element.
When you are satisfied, click OK.

How to convert internal date to the format of user default setting

In the BDC program, I need to convert the date, such as the sy-datum 20070427, to the format of user default that is defined in T-code SU01, such as YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY.MM.DD, and so on.
The user format has 6 six kinds, and it is not good idea to write the code to process. So I look for the functions or CLASS method to process. I can use the function 'ITS_GET_USER_DEFAULTS' to get the user default setting of the Date format and Decimal notation.The problem is that I can not find the function or CLASS method to convert the internal date to user's date format.
The function: CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL can not do it.
The CLASS method: cl_abap_datfm=>conv_date_int_to_ext may be do it. But I do know how exchange the parameters, and fail to make it work finely.
Is there the functions or CLASS method to process it?
Thanks a lot!

Hi John,
create a veriable :
data: v_date type char10.
then after getting the date in YYYYMMDD format, write the following statement.
WRITE SY-DATUM TO V_DATE.
this might solve your problem.

Hemant.

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}

date_aux type d,
date_I_need type d.
first day of the year
concatenate date_I_need(4) '0101' into date_aux.
julian_day = date_I_need - date_aux.
