Converting Nvarchar to date/datetime

Hi guys
I have a date fields say like this: [Letters Delivery Date] stored as nvarchar, i would like to select
some date part from the fields in format [mm][yyyy] (space betwwen) and [ww][yyyy] (space between) week starting Monday
the string is currently stored as mm/dd/yyyy.
I have tried every conversion I can still not getting any result
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules. Temporal data should
use ISO-8601 formats (you did not; in fact, nothing is right!). Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect.
This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums.

Columns are not fields. You want to use Chinese Unicode instead of a DATE data type. The display format you invented will not sort as a string! There is an ISO standard for week dates. This format is 'yyyyWww-d' where yyyy is the year, W is a separator token,
ww is (01-53) week number and d is (1-7) day of the week.
You input any calendar date, find the week-within-year column and return the dates that match on a LIKE predicate.
WHERE sale_day LIKE '2012W26-[67]'
There are several websites with calendars you can cut & paste, but you can start your search with: http://www.calendar-365.com/week-number.html
>> any help would be appreciated. <<
Fire the moron that did this to you and re-write all of his code.

thanks for your answer, but I asked to use sql loader instead of the external table, which so my question is why can not the epochtime converted to datetime, if there is no way to convert a datetime epochtime using sql loader, so I'm required to use the external table. thank you.
This is my error log:

Failed When converting nvarchar value SC1 to int (Cinf)

Hai,
In my screen conversion master after entering all the data's if i click addon button the error showing
Conversion Failed When converting nvarchar value 'SC1' to int (Cinf)
where SC1 is the object code of my form.
Can anyone suggest what could be the problem?
Regards

Hi Anitha,
Please check the variable @object_type in the SBO_SP_TransactionNotification stored procedure in your company database. In older versions of SBO, this had an int datatype. In 2007A or 2007B, this should be nvarchar(20) and you will get a conversion error when adding or updating UDO data if the variable is still an int datatype. Please see SAP Note 967470 for more details.
Kind Regards,

Need to convert the binary data in blob field to readable format

Hi,
We need to convert the Binary data in the BLOB field to readable format and need to display it in Oracle Apps Environment,does anybody come across the similar requirement.
please advise, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Babu.

You could use standard Attachments functionality here ... if the blob is not in FND_LOBS, insert into FND_LOBS, fnd_attached_documents etc to enable viewing via "Attachments" to the entity the blob is related to.

Convert String to Date and Format the Date Expression in SSRS

Hi,
I have a parameter used to select a month and year string that looks like:    jun-2013
I can convert it to a date, but what I want to do is, when a user selects a particular month-year  (let's say "jun-2013")
I populate one text box with the date the user selected , and (the challenge Im having is) I want to populate a text box next to the first text box with the month-year 2 months ahead.    So if the user selects
jun-2013   textbox A will show jun-2013
and textbox B will show aug-2013..
I have tried:
=Format(Format(CDate(Parameters!month.Value ),
"MM-YYYY" )+ 2 )   -- But this gives an error
This returns the month in number format   like "8"    for august...
=Format(Format(CDate(Parameters!month.Value ),
"MM" )+ 2 )
What is the proper syntax to give me the result    in this format = "aug-2013" ???
Thanks in advance.

You can convert a string that represents a date to a date object using the util.scand JavaScript method, and then format a date object to a string representation using the util.printd method. For more information, see:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.1254.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.1251.html
In your case, the code would be something like:
var sDate = "2013-01-10";
// Convert string to date
var oDate = util.scand("yyyy-mm-dd", sDate);
// Convert date to new string
var sDate2 = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", oDate);
// Set a field value
getField("date2").value = sDate2;
The exact code you'd use depends on where you place the script and where you're getting the original date string, but this should get you started.

How to Convert internal table data into text output and send mail in ABAP

Hi All,
Good Morning.
Taking a glance at a code that converts internal table data to an Excel file in ABAP. also checked how to send this excel to mailing list as attachment.
But thought of doing it without excel.
I mean, I have an internal table which contains fields of all types (character,integer,date,time). Since it is only around 4 to 5 rows in it (output),why to convert it to excel. not required!!. Instead I want to send this output to User's mails as Normal mail body with No attachments.
Could anybody please suggest me a way as to how to send internal table data as a mail ( not as an excel or PDF etc).
as of now my findings are, it is quite complex to convert internal table data to email (Text) format. but i believe if there is some way of doing it.

Converting hexadecimal XML data to a string

Hello!
Until now I generated XML data with the FM 'SDIXML_DOM_TO_XML'.
After that I did a loop over the xml_as_table in which I was casting each line of that table to a string.
ASSIGN <line> TO <line_c> CASTING.
After the inftroduction of unicode in our system I get a error:
In the current program an error occured when setting the field symbol <LINE_C> with ASSIGN or ASSIGNING (maybe in combination with the CASTING addition).
When converting the base entry of the field symbol <LINE_C> (number in base table: 32776), it was found that the target type requests a memory alignment of 2
What does it mean? Does somebody have a solution.
I need this function for sending this XML data as string over a simple old CPIC connection.

Converting Java.util date to XML date in format YYYY-MMM-dd

I'm using below code to convert java.util.date to XML date
public static XMLGregorianCalendar toXMLDate(Date dte) {
   try {
   // this may throw DatatypeConfigurationException
   DatatypeFactory datatypeFactory = DatatypeFactory.newInstance();
   GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
   // reset all fields
calendar.clear();
   Calendar parsedCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();
parsedCalendar.setTime(dte);
calendar.set( parsedCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR ),
parsedCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH),
parsedCalendar.get(Calendar.DATE ));
   XMLGregorianCalendar xmlCalendar = datatypeFactory.newXMLGregorianCalendar( calendar );
xmlCalendar.setTimezone( DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED );
xmlCalendar.setFractionalSecond( null );
   return xmlCalendar;
I need to get the date in the format YYYY-MMM-dd, but it returns in a format YYYY-MM-dd. Can anyone tell me how can i change the format? Thanks

>
The snippet of ApplicationClient where the assignment took place and the syntax occurred were:
1. DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
2. DateFormat timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
3. Date date = new Date();
4. CustomerDetail customerDetail = new CustomerDetail();
5. customerDetail.setCollectionDate(dateFormat.format(date)); //got the above syntax error
6. customerDetail.setCollectionTime(timeFormat.format(date)); //got the above syntax error
.....I am running JDK 1.6.0_10, Glassfish v2r2, MySQL 5.0, Netbeans 6.1 on Windows XP platform.The format method returns a String not a Date. Why not just store the Date as is without formatting, and format it when you want to retrieve it from the DB and display it?

WalterUse TO_DATE to convert a string into a DATE:
TO_DATE ( column_x
        , 'DD/Mon/YYYY'
        )Use TO_CHAR to display a DATE in a given format:
TO_CHAR ( d
        , 'DD.MM.YYYY'
        )d can be any DATE, including the DATE returned by the TO_DATE function, above.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using.
