Current date and time in narrative. html?

Hello,
I would like to include current time and date in the narrative of a report. The purpose of this is that when end-users export the report a time and date of export is inlcuded in the export so that I know when specific reports where exported.
I now have a workaround with added hidden date and time columns and showing only first rows of these hidden columns. This is quite a lot of work since I have to update about 75 reports with this date and time values.
Does any of you know how to include currentdat and time in the narrative with a html code?
Or are there other ways to achieve what I am looking for?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
We had similar kind of requirement.
We have created a repository variable "CurrentDateTime" and added this in each and every report in the narrative view as below.
Steps:
1.Leave the existing Table view or chart view as it is.
2.Add one narrative to the existing report.
3.Modify the narrative view and paste the below logic in that.
Current Date: @{biServer.variables.CurrentDateTime}
Hopes this helps.
Thanks,
Pramod

Insert current date and time into Oracle date type field

I have a JDBC current date and time insert into Oracle 9i that almost works. It submits the current date and a fixed time into the Oracle date type field. I am using Tomcat 6.0.20.
For example if I insert the data at 7:24:04 PM on Feb 16, 2010 it will insert as: 16-Feb-2010 12:00:00 AM
The date part works but the time always shows 12:00:00 AM no matter what date or time the data is inserted.
Here is what I have for my JDBC inserts and I also tried something with DateFormat:
PreparedStatement ps; Date mydate = new Date(new java.util.Date().getTime()); //insert statement here.... stmt.setDate(1,mydate);
I also tried:
PreparedStatement ps; java.sql.Timestamp mydate = new java.sql.Timestamp(new java.util.Date().getTime()); SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat(.... //insert statement here.... ps.setTimestamp(1,fmt.format(mydate));
Both keep submitting the date into Oracle as 16-Feb-2010 12:00:00 AM
Anyway to get the current date and time? For example if I insert the data at 7:24.04 pm today it should show as 16-Feb-2010 07:24.04 PM in Oracle.

If you want a date and time then use java.sql.Timestamp.

Current date and time

What is the simpliest call in Visual C++ with Measurement Studio to extract the current date and time? I am trying to have such info as 1315032804 for March 28th, 2004 at 1:15 pm. Thanks in advance for your advice.

There are a few options, depending on what format you want the time and what kind of operations you're planning to do with it:
ATL/MFC - CTime::GetCurrentTime
ATL/MFC - COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime
Win32 - GetSystemTime
Win32 - GetLocalTime

Use a formula: =NOW()
Format the cell for Date and Time, with both the Date part and the Time part displayed. Format the two parts as you wish, using the choices in the Inspector's menus.
The cell will update each time the table is recalculated.
(Description is for Numbers '09 (Mac), Numbers for iOS will be similar, but not necessarly identical in details.)

Problem with getting current date and time using oracle.jbo.domain.Date

I`d like to get current date and time using oracle.jbo.domain.Date method getCurrentDate(), but it always return current date and 12:00:00. I also need to get the current time.

I think you should use java.sql.Timestamp domain.
(And set database type to TIME or DATETIME.)

I Need to Write the current Date and Time

I need to write the current date and time to calculate the spend time in each instruction.
What is the instrucion?
Thanks.
MIGUEL ANGEL CARO

The current time can be determined with a Date object:
Date now = new java.util.Date() ;or if you are interested in the seconds since the epoch:
System.currentTimeMillis() ;If you wanted to print them out:
System.out.println( new java.util.Date() ) ;
System.out.println( System.currentTimeMillis() ) ;Kenny

Wrote the current Date and Time in the backend

HI everyone,
I created a table view, where I display several records. Right now I will add an record to this table, which should be written back in the backend and automaticaly add the current date and time.
But I don´t know to make this. I tried several time with the funktion "now()", but it doesn´t work. So any help for me, to explain how I can display the actual time and then write it back to the backend?
Thanks

we use a crm system. but the BAPI I mentioned was
just to play with. My basis will develop a new API
for the project, that have the requested Inputfields.
But what I tottaly forget was, that there has to be a
field for the time, so thanks for the advice.
No Problem.
I´m still of the opinion , that it should be possible
to add the curret time in a field with the
funcionality of the VC, even there is a way to show a
clock with the current time. My problem is that I
can´t figuer out how to do this.
Therefore you can use the TNow() function (Time functions) and the Now() Function (Date functions). You can cast them to a string and concatenate the string, then you have the date of today with the current time. This string you can format and transfer it as input for your BAPI_ADD_BP for example.
Hope that helps.
Best Regards,
Marcel

Put the current date and time in a string

I am having trouble trying to put the current date and time from my Calendar object into a string
any ideas?

Calendar timeCal = Calendar.getInstance();
timeCal.setTime(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime ));
String date = formatToTwoDigits(timeCal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY)) + ":" +
formatToTwoDigits(timeCal.get(Calendar.MINUTE)) + ":" +
formatToTwoDigits(timeCal.get(Calendar.SECOND));
private String formatToTwoDigits(int i) {
String ret = null;
i = i % 100;
if (i < 10) {
ret = "0" + Integer.toString(i);
} else {
ret = Integer.toString(i);
return ret;
You can figure out yourselve how to display the date, use other Calendar.XXX properties.
Good luck!

I'm trying to display the current date and time on my iPad.

First, I'm not sure this is a valid post to this forum. If not, I'd appreciate knowg in where I can get help.
I have tried several ways to display the current date and time on my iPad. None work. Most things I try give me complier errors but the latest code compiles but won't display the correct time.
Here's the dispatch code in my ViewController.m file:
dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_HIGH, 0ul);
    dispatch_async(queue, ^{
        [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:NSTimeInterval)1.0f target:self selector:@selector(updateLabel:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
Here's the updateLabel code: (which never gets executed).
- (void)updateLabel:(id) sender {
    dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    NSLog(@"Datefield Update Called");
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy 'at' HH:mm ZZZZ"];
    NSDate *dayTime = [NSDate date];
    NSString *formattedDateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:dayTime];
        _dateField.text = formattedDateString;
    [self.view addSubview:_dateField];
    NSLog(@"Datefield %@",_dateField.text);

Your code is needlessly complicated and has a few problems:
// These objects should be created only once.
NSTimer *dateAndTimeTimer; (You might need to make this a property with a strong reference).
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEEE, MMMMM dd, yyyy 'at' HH:mm ZZZZ"];
// The subview should only be added once.
[self.view addSubview:_dateField];
[self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(startDateAndTimeTimer)
                        withObject:nil
                     waitUntilDone:YES];
-(void)startDateAndTimeTimer
    NSTimer *timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1
                                                      target:self
                                                    selector:@selector(updateLabel)
                                                    userInfo:nil
                                                     repeats:YES];
    dateAndTimeTimer = timer;
    [[NSRunLoop mainRunLoop] addTimer:dateAndTimeTimer forMode:NSRunLoopCommonModes];
-(void)updateLabel
     NSDate *dateTime = [NSDate date];
     NSString *formattedDataString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:dateTime];
     _dateField.text = formattedDateString;
     NSLog(@"_dateField.text=%@", _dateField.text);

Show active current date and time in a Form continuously

Hi,
I am use Oracle Form 10.1.2 in Windows 2000.
Can we show an active current date and time in a Form continuously?
Perhaps in the main menu form.
So the user can see the moving time, instantly when the time change (withour pushing F5 for refreshing the form)
23-Sep-2006 06:00
-- one minute later will show
23-Sep-2006 06:01
-- one minute later will show
23-Sep-2006 06:02
-- and so on
Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

Here is a quick, untested suggestion that sketches out one way of approaching this.
If you only require updates every 60 seconds, you can use the TIMER built-in to create a repeating timer with a sixty-second delay. Each time the timer expires, update a text item to reflect the current time (obtained by selecting SYSDATE from DUAL on the database.)
If the time is to be updated precisely when the minute changes, use two timers -- the same one described above, and a one-shot. Before you create either timer, run the following query:
SELECT 60-TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'ss')) FROM DUALThis will give the number of seconds remaining until the minute changes. Use this value to set the duration of the one-shot timer. When it expires, create the repeating sixty-second timer.
There is a good possibility that this method will not be terribly precise, depending on factors like server resources, user load and network distance. A more network-friendly approach would be to use a JavaBean that relies on the PC's system timer to track the passage of time, and calculates server time based on the observed time difference between PC & server.
Hope this helps,
