Date format changes in the middle of a program execution

In my C code I have a series of select statements.
When I first get a session to the database I use the following command to set the date format
alter session set nls_date_format = 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'
It works fine for a few queries. After a while during the program execution I see that the date format changes to 'DD-MON-YY' format. This results in a series of error in my code because I expect the date format to always be in the 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS' format.
Any idea why the date format should change all of a sudden in the middle of the program execution.

I second the idea that you should always use TO_DATE and TO_CHAR if you want to reliably convert between dates and strings.
Without seeing your code, it is hard to say why your date format is changing, but the most likely reason is that you are changing users somewhere in the code. For example:
SQL> show user
USER is "OPS$ORACLE"
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-JUL-2003
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_format='dd-Mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss';
Session altered.
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-Jul-2003 10:15:12
SQL> connect jtest/test
Connected.
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-JUL-2003TTFN

Date format changed (since SP8?)

Applied SP8 lately on a server. I guess since then the date format changed.
It is now April 18, 2011,
and it should be 18 April, 2011.
I am not sure if this is because applying SP8, but what is for sure that the date format is not what we used to.
Checked time zone. Regarding to `set time zone` it is proper (CET-1CEST).
Please advise.

Hi Marcel,
Thanks for the fast reply. I will give it a try probably.
I am still wondering what could have changed the date format.

In any case, the date format on the server console is controlled by the file lconfig.sys copied to the server's c:\nwserver directory at installation time.
The following TID tells you how you can replace this file.
Note that the TID refers to changing the code page. In your case, it is not the code page you want to change, but the country code which corresponds to the date format you want to display

Date Format Issue IN BEX REPORT

Hi Experts,
we are working on BW 3.5.
we have a ODS where data is uploaded through flat file and there are 5 to 7 date field all made of Z infoobjects.
So now the user is putting the data for these Date fields as 20110901 = 1st sep2011. but in report its coming as 09/01/2011
when i checked all the Z fields that are created for this date fields have reference character as Date
only one field is character so it is coming correct as given by the user
but rest all are appearing in different format . In ODS also the date is coming as 09/01/2011
now the user want all the data to be in the same format as given by HIM.
I cant even change the properties of these Z info object removing the reference info object 0Date and make them character string.
so now please suggest how to upload the date given by the user as it is without changing the format and also how to change the format for the back data as its flat file so No data can be deleted.
thankkkkkkkks

hello
Bex analyzer is an excel add-in. Date formats are based on your regional settings.
If you want to have a different date format in the sap gui then you have to change your user profile in sap system.
Flat file upload needs the date format in a database format (YYYYMMDD).
You can transform the date in the transformation step with rules or with a routine( abap coding).
Thank you

Date Format changes in the Reporting side..

Hi friends,
I have one date field that is Keyfigure (not a Time charecterstic) ...now i want to display date in DD- MON - YYYY format... but up to modelling side my date format is DD.MM.YYYY.....
i dont want to change in modelling side.. because.. this required format is needed only for some querys ...
so, can any one suggest me is there any chance to get the date format in the reporting side like this..(27-JAN-2007) ..
helpful answers will be appriciated..
Thanks
Babu

Hi Babu,
If the format is required in the Bex analyser then its system dependent setting .
Control panel - > Regional & language options -> Regional options -> Customize -> Date -> Short Date format -> DD-MMM-YYYY(Change) .
Do not forget to log off and re-login into bex,execute queries and see the output.
Hope that helps.

SSAS Cube parameter date format change

Hi Experts,
I am new to SSRS report creation. I have a parameter which is fetching date from cube. The date format from cube is YYYY-MM-DD.
I want expression to change the date format to DD/MM/YYYY.
I have used this expression - =Format(CDATE(Parameters!DimPromoUBUBStartDate.Value),"dd/MM/yyyy")
but it is not working and getting the following error,
"unable to cast object of type 'System.object[]' to type 'system Iconvertible'
Please give your suggestions
Thanks in Advance,
Rajan

Hi Rajan,
According to your description, when you convert the "YYYY-MM-DD" formatted data from the parameter and change the format, it throw the error above. Right?
In this scenario, the reason why you get this error because you set allow multiple values in that parameter. When we allow multiple values in a parameter, all select values will be put into a array when processing even you only select one value. And
the CDate() function can't convert the object[]. So please unselect the allow multiple values in parameter. If you want to keep multiple values selection, you can only convert one element from the array. For example: CDate(Parameter!XXXX.Value(0))
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,

Date format conversion in BEX query level

Hi ,
We had a date field in the numeric format like 735.020 in the cube level, but when we execute the query the values for thsi date field is changed in to date format like 31.05.2013.
we are not having any conversion routines and the date fields are used directly in the query .

Hi,
Try the below class file or may be create a method in your controller. It will resolve your problem.
package com.XXX.DateFormatForSAP;
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class FormatSAPDate {
public static String changeDateFormat(Date sapDate) {
String formattedDate = null;
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
formattedDate = dateFormat.format(sapDate);
return formattedDate;
Try this code and let me know.

Hi,
After logon to BW, goto SYSTEM at menu bar.select user profile --> select OWN DATA. You will get Windoe, in that goto default tab, there you change DATE FORMAT and save.
If it useful assign points.

R2 to R3 upgrade Schedule Date Format Changed

We recently did an upgrade from BOXI r2 to R3. We did the installation wizard using the r3 image to the same server.
What we have noticed now is that all the schedule dates in the CMC for our reports have changed format from US to EURO. 01/13/08 to 13/01/08
We are still on the same server, and it appears that the time format is comming from our web server now.
Dose anyone know how to change the date format on Tomcat to reflect standard US time and Not Euro.
Or if this isnt the case where else could I check for date formats, we have checked the CMC, the Server itself and the Preferences.
Thanks
KF

Hello,
did you checked the locale of your OS ?
When you say you checked the preferences you mean the preferences of InfoView ?

BAPI - Webservice, Date-Format changed

Helly everyone,
I've got a problem when creating a WS based uppon a BAPI (BAPI_FLIGHT_GETDETAIL). The Webservice itself works fine. But if I use the BAPI I need to use the Date-Format DD.MM.YYYY for the required Input-Field Flightdate. In the WS I need to use the format YYYY-MM-DD. Now, is there any way to use the DD.MM.YYYY-Format in the WS also?

Date format changed while printing invoice

Dear All,
Since yestardayin production server the date format of invoice is like 12.02.2010,but form morning it is comming like 2010.02.12.
I have checked in quality and it is still comming like 12.02.2010.
Could you please tell me why is it comming?
Regards,
Amar

Dear Amar,
1 Check the user profile for default type od date value in production system and compare it with quality. If this is not as per the quality system then change it.
2 if both system quality and production both have same date format then you have to debug and find out the issue.
Hope you need not to go for second point.

How to solve this issue? I( am using Adobe Interactive Form and it displays that field in Pdf in EP)
Please help.
Nikesh Shah

Got the answer.
Actually you need to write a simple code :
SimpleDateFormat InvoiceDate = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy")
String InvoiceDate1 = InvoiceDate.format(Your Date) ;
wdContext.currentOutputPrintNewElement().setInvoiceDate(InvoiceDate1);
Thx everyone for reading this thread.

Regarding date format changes

Hi All,
I have a date variable.
Th date variable is v_doc_date which is declared like SY-DATUM.
I will get value into that variable in format DDMMYYYY EX: 18072005 now i want make that variable as 18.07.2005 through Function module.
Can any body tell me how can we convert DDMMYYYY into DD.MM.YYYY through function module.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Rayeez.

Hi,
If you are writing it on the screen - use edit mask.
eg: write v_doc_date using edit mask '__.__.____'.
Or use this piece of code.
data: v_date(10),
 v_doc_date like sy-datum.
 v_date0(2) = v_doc_date6(2).
 v_date+2(1) = '.'.
 v_date3(2) = v_doc_date4(2).
 v_date+5(1) = '.'.
 v_date6(4) = v_doc_date0(4).
If you have to change the date in many places, just put this in a form and call it.
