I know this is an old thread, but thought I would add my on comments:
This code example shows how to create a country specific date format.
Also see table T005 and field DATFM / Domain DATFM
DATA: external_date LIKE rvdat-extdatum,
      country LIKE t005-land1,
      internal_date LIKE syst-datum,
      internal_period LIKE tprg-prgrs .
      internal_date = sy-datum.
      internal_period = 1.
      country = 'DO'. "Dominican Republic
CALL FUNCTION 'PERIOD_AND_DATE_CONVERT_OUTPUT'
EXPORTING
    country                  = country     " Enter Country Code Here
    internal_date            = internal_date
    internal_period          = internal_period   " Default this value to one
LANGUAGE                 = SYST-LANGU
I_PERIV                  = I_PERIV
I_WERKS                  = I_WERKS
I_MRPPP                  = I_MRPPP
IMPORTING
    external_date            = external_date     " The date formated for the country will be in this field
EXTERNAL_PERIOD          = EXTERNAL_PERIOD
EXTERNAL_PRINTTEXT       = EXTERNAL_PRINTTEXT

Check against country-specific edit format

Hi All,
Currently for VAT registration number, settings for VAT registration number using transaction code OY17 is as follows,
Length: 9
Checking rule : 9 i.e. Check against country-specific edit format
Now the user wants to enter a registration number with a different format which SAP is not allowing to enter. The length of the number is 9. But it is still not accepting. Country is ES.
Can anyone let me know the relevance of the checking rule 9 i.e. Check against country-specific edit format. How the system validates the VAT registration number.
Please help.
Thanks,

We have the same problem. Our WDA is running under a service user which has the US date format. Even if we do
SET COUNTRY 'DE'.
It does not change the display format to DD.MM.YYYY but retains MM/DD/YYYY.

How to pass date parameter in URL in system date format

Hi All,
I am working on a requirement where I need to pass the date parameter in URL. Where date format needs to be system default date format. How can we format date without providing specific date format.
Also, I got some post which had below example. Can you let me know what this format does.
'/analysis/report?queryGroupName=Custom-ProjectInfo&TimePeriodBeginning=', <%+%> FCI_CHARFMT(TIME_PERIOD_START_DATE),' <%+%>
'&TimePeriodBeginning_format=17&link_crumb=true'
Waiting for response.

Hi,
If you're running this in SQL*Plus, you can use substitution variables.
If you have a file called my_query.sql, like this
select    A.agent_no,
          (a.first_name || A.agent_name)     as agent_Name,
          P.Policy_No,
          D.Driver_No,
          D.mvr_predict_score,
       D.mvr_received
from        policy P,
       agent   A,
       Driver D
where       D.request_mvr_hit   = 'M'
AND       D.mvr_predict_Score > 540
And       D.request_mvr          = 'D'
AND        p.fullkey           = d.fullkey
AND       p.agent_no          = a.agent_no
AND       d.mvr_received     >= TO_DATE ('&1', 'DD-Mon-YYYY')          -- New
AND       d.mvr_received     < TO_DATE ('&2', 'DD-Mon-YYYY') + 1     -- New
order by a.agent_no,
             CASE a.producer_type
           when 'S' then 1
           when 'C' then 2
           when 'R' then 3
       end
;Then you can run it from SQL*Plus by saying something like:
@my_query 1-Jan-2009 31-Dec-2009&1 in the script will be replace by the 1st argument (1-Jan-2009) and &2 will be replaced by the 2nd argument (31-Dec-2009).
Notice that the last condition adds 1 to the argument
AND       d.mvr_received     < TO_DATE ('&2', 'DD-Mon-YYYY') + 1     -- Newbut uses the < operator (not <=). The result is that if mvr_received is any time on the last day (e.g. 31-Dec-2009 11:59 pm) will be included.

Date format issues

Hello,
I have a problem when executing the following statement from vb.net application.
update TEST_REC_2 set nk_rec1_rec2 = 506736003, jrnl_timestamp = '2007-06-01-14.54.32', jrnl_gdg = null, jrnl_verb = null, jrnl_jsn = '2203384', jrnl_program_name = 'dstor001', jrnl_dbname = 'jeff', jrnl_user_id = 'ibmuser' where p_k = 506736002.
The error I got is ORA-01861: literal does not match format string. I know the problem is with the date format in column jrnl_timestamp . But I cannot change the statement, its coming from the Message Queue.
Is there any option to make this work??

You have got 2 options :-
1. Set NLS_DATE_FORMAT in the session and then update with your specific date format
alter session set nls_date_format='YYYY-MM-DD-HH24.MI.SS';
update TEST_REC_2
set nk_rec1_rec2 = 506736003,
jrnl_timestamp = '2007-06-01-14.54.32',
jrnl_gdg = null, jrnl_verb = null, jrnl_jsn = '2203384', jrnl_program_name = 'dstor001', jrnl_dbname = 'jeff', jrnl_user_id = 'ibmuser'
where p_k = 506736002
2. Modify the SQL to include "to_date"
update TEST_REC_2
set nk_rec1_rec2 = 506736003,
jrnl_timestamp = to_date('2007-06-01-14.54.32','YYYY-MM-DD-HH24.MI.SS'),
jrnl_gdg = null, jrnl_verb = null, jrnl_jsn = '2203384', jrnl_program_name = 'dstor001', jrnl_dbname = 'jeff', jrnl_user_id = 'ibmuser'
where p_k = 506736002
Choose the right approach based on what you can and what you can't.

Column in DATE format

Hello Everybody
I have a report did Apex, this report has a column which data type is DATE but by default the Apex put it in the format : DD-MM-YYYY HH:MI:SS
But I only want that his column has the format DD/MM/YYYY
I know that is posible convert this field using the function TO_CHAR(date, format) but in the report I want to sort this field considering that this filed is in date data type not in char.
Also I know that I can use the function EXTRACT for concatening the day, month and year and after convert to date in the format 'dd/mm/yyyy'; but I don´t want to write many code.
I don't want to do some like this:
TO_DATE(
EXTRACT( 'DAY' FROM DateFiled )||'/'|| EXTRACT( 'MONTH' FROM DateFiled )||'/'|| EXTRACT( 'YEAR' FROM DateFiled ), 'DD/MM/YYYY' )
Do you know how to convert to this date format (DD/MM/YYYY) preserving the format?
I expect your prompt reply.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Best Regards

Hi Eric
One of the really cool features of the later versions of APEX is the ability to set a default "Application Date Format".
This is done in the Application xx>Shared Components>Definition then select the "Globalization" tab.
You can select from a list of pre-defined date formats, or enter your own.
My preference is "DD-Mon-YYYY" which is not in the list.
Just leave your date fields as regular DATE type in the select (no formatting in the select).
This Application Date Format is then used as the default for ALL dates for which you don't specifically set (another) date format
This is also selecable in the Display options of a "Date Picker (Use Application Date Format)" LOV - for any date page items that you want to provide a date picker.
This really simplifies the effort in getting a consistent look and feel - and keeping a constant standard throughout the application.
The other benefit is that you can make a change in one place, and ALL the dates (without a specific date format specification) will change format - just like that.
This is just one of the features that makes APEX the most productive - and cool - systems around.
Enjoy!
Mike

You didn't mention what DBMS or scripting language you are using.
The best way to get dates from a user is to supply 3 fields for input; day, month, year - then assemble them into the string format that the DBMS is expecting.

Authorization in BDC session (date format)

Hi All,
I have a very peculiar problem, When I am executing a Background job (XK15) sometimes the job is successful and sometimes it is failing. When I am checking the error (SM35)it is showing as Date format (MM/DD/YYYY). My data format is same as MM/DD/YYYY but observed that under authorization it is taking different users.Sometimes it is taking my user id and the jobs are successful.
I feel that when it is taking different user ids for the sessions executed by me it is taking the date format of those user ids and I am getting the date format error.
Formatting error in the field RV13A-DATAB;
see next message XK15 1 SAPMV13A 1806 2 E 0
Enter date in the format ____/__/__
Please let me know why it is taking different userid's and how to resolve this issue ?
Early response is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Supriya

Hi,
Goto tableUSR01.
Take field value 'DATFM' for every user.
Depends on this use FM, 'CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_OUTPUT' to convert date.
or do manual processing using concatenate statement to get user specific date format.
If you struck up anywhere revert back,
Thanks,
Krishna.

I have written a binary file with a specific header format in LABVIEW 8.6 and tried to Read the same Data File, Using LABVIEW 7.1.Here i Found some difficulty.Is there any way to Read the Data File(of LABVIEW 8.6), Using LABVIEW 7.1?

I can think of two possible stumbling blocks:
What are your 8.6 options for "byte order" and "prepend array or string size"?
Overall, many file IO functions have changed with LabVIEW 8.0, so there might not be an exact 1:1 code conversion. You might need to make some modifications. For example, in 7.1, you should use "write file", the "binary file VIs" are special purpose (I16 or SGL). What is your data type?

How to get an international English date format if I'm in a country where the date format is something else?

I'm physically in Malaysia and my iPad sets Malay as my default time format setting. How to get rid of the whole thing of using Malay as my date format and use English as default for everything including date and time ? Under setting> general > international, I have to choose something and English is not an option.

You need to choose an English-speaking country - I have Settings > General > International > Region Format set to United Kingdom (as I'm in the UK), so the first day of the week is monday and times are of the format 01:23 etc (there also options for US, Canada, Australia etc)
