Data length for Date is 7 in all_tabs_columns

I am fetching data_length, data_type from all_tabs_columns for a table in my schema. It is returning data_length=7 for data_type='date'. When i am fetching records based upon this information using SQL_EXECUTE package, the date record returned is of format DD-MON-YY. ie for date '01-JAN-1949', it is fetching '01-JAN-49'.
Please Suggest.

Dear Francois,
I might not be able to exlplain it properly but the problem is when i am executing the query in SQL*Plus, I can retrive the correct data(as'01-JAN-1949'). But when when the same query is executed using a EXEC_SQL package of forms 6i, the data returned is incorrect('01-JAN-2049'/'01-JAN-0049'depending upon the format mask-RRRR/YYYY).
I think there is some issue related to Dynamic SQL being used in EXEC_SQL package may be with EXEC_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN or EXEC_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE or EXEC_SQL.EXECUTE???
Please Suggest.

Error -ORA-01483: invalid length for DATE or NUMBER bind variable

In discoverer plus, attempt to save a discoverer workbook into the database fails with the error:
ORA-01483 invalid length for DATE or NUMBER bind variable
The same workbook can be safely saved in "My Computer".
Any idea why and what is the solution.

Why: not quite sure, probably the code is validating the workbook when it saves it to the db and you've got an error in the sql. What happens when you run the workbook that you saved to the file system? Does it show the same error when run?
Solution: Can you post the sql in the workbook? In the meantime try the following: Replace any to_char statements around dates with to_date statements instead. For example:
Replace:
where to_char(mydate, 'dd-mon-yyyy') = '05-apr-2009'
With:
where mydate = to_date('05-APR-2009','DD-MON-YYYY')

How to set a date range for date field ?

Dear Experts,
Scenario:
I have a query in validating the date field in my BSP application. My application is for maintain infotype 0023 Other/Previous Employers online by employees in the company.
As per our design we are maintaining the all employment details of the employee both ( with in the current company / previous employment outside the company) in the same infotype.
Every employee will have a hiring date within the SAP HR system. We consider this date as the cutoff date between current and previous employment in our application. When the employee updating the details wia BSP page I need to check the following.
Record inside current company: Validation that, the user should only able to enter BEGIN DATE (BEGDA) greater than or equal HIRING DATE and END DATE(ENDDA) should be greater than FROM DATE (BEGDA).
Record outside current Company: Validation that, the user should only able to enter BEGIN DATE (BEGDA) less than or equal HIRING DATE and END DATE (ENDDA) should be greater than FROM DATE (BEGDA) and less than HIRING DATE.
Technical Requirement:
How to set a date range for date field, i.e. how we can limit the date range in a HTMLB date field? Can this it be achieved via standard functionality of HTMLB?
Following is the code to describe date field in my application.
    <htmlb:inputField id= "ENDDA_NEW_IN"
                      type= "date"
                doValidate= "TRUE"
                  showHelp= "TRUE"
                  disabled= "FALSE"
                     width= "183"
                     style= "cssTextAreadate"
                     value= "<%='99991231'%>"/>
Thanks a lot in advance for your assistance and help.

Data validation for Date Field in Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi ,
In my WDA i want to perform data validation for date filed. (i.e. While creating a new record i have to check the Start Date should be always lesser than End Date.)
If u ll enter the wrong date it should validate the Date and throw an error message.
Please Reply soon its urgent.
Thanks,
Deepika

Hi,
First read the two attributes start date and end date.
Then write the following condition.
IF item_start_date > item_end_date.
Error message.
Endif.
For pop up error message you need to use Create_window method of the Interface if_wd_window.
Thanks.

Check the Data length for the fields in the mapping

Hi,
I need to check for the data length of the below fields in mapping. And if any of the field lengh does not match with the given length then I discard the data and trigger a mail
X1_LENGTH = 9
EMail_LENGTH = 100
PrjDesc_LENGTH = 50
Regards,
Varun

Hi,
You can use following approach:
- Create UDF for length analysis and raise exception if length is not accurate Use lenght() method of string.
CheckLength(Field, Length)
If Field.lenght() >= Length then raise mapping exception
Use Alert to capture this and send mail.
- Use Enum while defining datatype to reject data at source (in adapter engine). Again use Alerts to send mail.

Open data slice for data entry and close afterwards

Dear all,
I have created one data slice for a characteristic combination country xy in order to prevent the data entry within the data entry query for the user. But for some reason I have to run a planning function in order to summarize some values and write a total value in the characteristic e.g. country xy.
The planning function brings out an error message because this can not be executed due to the fact that this combination is protected.
Is there a way to open the data slice before the planning function is writing the data in the cube? I have tried to to this in the Data slice exit, but I do not have an idea how to open the DS, save the data and close the DS again.
We are running NW BI 7.0. Any ideas would be great.
Best regards,
Stefan from Munich/Germany

I did something like this by creating an FM and calling that FM from a FOX function. I think you will have to use three commands to execute three functions one after the other (and not combine them in one planning sequence) - first one will switch off the data slice, next will be your planning function containing the logic, and the last will switch it back on.
The FM would be something like below:
FUNCTION Z_SWITCH_DSLICE.
*"*"Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(I_INFOPROV) TYPE RSINFOPROV
*"     REFERENCE(I_DSNR) TYPE RSPLS_DSNR
*"     REFERENCE(I_STATUS) TYPE I
*** This function imports the name of a real-time Infoprovider and a Data Slice number
***        and a parameter I_STATUS. If I_STATUS is 1, data slice is activated
***        If I_STATUS is -1, data slice is de-activated
data wa_ds type rspls_ds.
select single * from rspls_ds
        into wa_ds
        where infoprov = I_INFOPROV
          AND objvers = 'A'
          AND dsnr = I_DSNR.
if I_status = 1.
   wa_ds-used = 'X'.
elseif I_status = -1.
   wa_ds-used = ''.
endif.
update rspls_ds from wa_ds.
ENDFUNCTION.
The Fox code will be like below -
CALL FUNCTION Z_SWITCH_DSLICE
    EXPORTING
       I_INFOPROV = <infoprov name>
       I_DSNR = <Data Slice Number>
       I_STATUS = <0 or 1>.

Date parameters for Date range

Hi,
I got a report with 2 parameters From Date and To Date and i have 2 columns items in the report absence start date and absence end date.
i have to make sure that the date range satisfies all case's
what is the best way that I can these validation rules in discoverer on these dates...?
case's are something like this:
1 (absence start date > from date; absence end date > to date)
2 (absence start date > from date; absence end date < to date)
3 (absence start date < from date; absence end date > to date)
4 (absence start date > from date; absence end date < to date)
Any help would be really appreciated.

Using conditions in Discoverer is just like specifying a where clause in SQL with AND and OR. You should be able to use conditions for what is being described below.
Are you not able to do that using conditions in your report ?

Date Dimension for date pull up (Dimension to Dimension)

Need advise....
1. I have a person dimension table and sales fact table. Person_id is the foreign key in the fact. I want to be able to pull the date of birth. But the person dimension has only dob_sid that should point to the day dimension to get my the equivalent date. This is the problem...i cannot join person dimension to day dimension, i need to be able to do a join through fact, but the fact table is missing the dob_sid.
2. Second issue is, person dimension has other dates associated action_date, cancel_date, etc. more than one date field that i need to join to day dimension.
How will i be able to achieve this in BMM? Physcial layer?

The key here (no pun intended) is to alias your date dimension for as many date lookups you require, join these aliases directly to your person dimension off the appropriate keys.

Data binding for date chooser

Hey Just wondering if its possible to use actionscript variables for a HTTPservice, [not having to use httpservice via actionscript]
eg

<mx:request xmlns="">
<day>{dates.selectedDate.getDate()}</day>   //instead of this have something like <day>{day.value}</day> ??????
<month>{dates.selectedDate.getMonth()}</month>
<year>{dates.selectedDate.getFullYear()}</year>
</mx:request>
</mx:HTTPService>
<mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            [Bindable] private var dateString:String;
            public var day:int;
            public var month:int;
            public var year:int;
            public function onClick():void
                day = dates.selectedDate.date;
                month = dates.selectedDate.month;

    </mx:Script>
    <mx:DateChooser id="dates" x="25" y="26" width="221" height="208" allowMultipleSelection="true" showToday="true" change="onClick()"/>

Are you getting an error? Maybe you just need to make the other variables Bindable?

Dynamic Date Value for Date Range Parameter - Scheduling in BI

Hi,
I am New to BO Enterprise XI R3. I want to schedule the Crystal report which takes Date Range as parameter. Is any option available to calculate From Date automatically based on Current Date based on the range required?
Currently, Parameter option accepts parameters and enterprise process the report for configured parameters. In this case, report always prints only for configured date range eventhough report generated after one month. I am expecting report has to print data for date range (eg. 1 weeks, 4 days, or any range) based on system current date.
Thanks in Advance,
Venkateswaran.P

I'm am in the same situation. I need to be able to have the date parameter dynamically change based on the current day's date when I schedule a report. However, because this parameter comes from a Stored Procedure from the database, it cannot be modified in the Report Designer (as far as I know). I've tried to set a default for it to use "currentdate" but it doesn't seem to take. Anyone know if this can be accomplished in the scheduler?
Thanks

Customizing JTree data rendering for Dates

I have a JTree that has different data types in each column that I'm sorting. I'd like to be able to control the String that appears in the table cell(s) based on the value in the model. I'm trying to make it so that if a Date is less than some predeterminded Date value that a custom string is output to the Table cell instead of the normal Date string.
I thought a JTable took the toString() of the Date object for its value and that I could just subclass the java.util.Date object and override the toString() with a conditional. such as (toString() in my CustomDate subclass that extends java.util.Date):
public String toString() {
    defaultDate = new java.util.Date();
    if (defaultDate.getTime()>this.getTime()){
        return "Date entered in the past";
    } else { //get the normal Date toString
        return new String(super.toString());
}I'm not so much asking what is wrong with my code, but how to accomplish this task, the code is simply to show the direction I've taken. Am i close, or way out in left field?
Thanks for any help guys!

Add Data Source for Data Load Rule

I created an ODBC system data source in both the 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC managers (just to be sure), but they're not showing up as options for data sources in the SQL interface in EAS. Is there some step that I'm missing?
Thanks.

Have you created the ODBC on the Essbase server or on the server hosting EAS, it should be on the Essbase server.

Underlying RS Table :: Date & Time for Data Load Requests

Dear SAP BW Community,
In BW 3.5, does anybody know the underlying "RS" table where I can check to see the earliest date & time which a data target was loaded, by providing the data target's technical name in SE16 ?
Thanks!

OK, I've found the timestamp the data load requests in the table RSMONICDP.
To get the earliest data load for infoCube FRED, I'm going to Oracle via SQL*Plus, as follows:
select to_char(min(TIMESTAMP)) from sapr3.RSMONICDP where ICUBE = 'FRED' ;

Changing Field Label length for Data Element using ABAP code.

Hi Experts,
We have a scenario where we have to update the maximum length of the various Field Labels (Short, Medium, Long..) for a Data Element using ABAP code.
Does anyone know how to do this ? Is there a Function Module available for this purpose ?
Appreciate your valuable inputs.

Hi ,
Use the view
DD03M
Give
TABNAME as table name,
DDLANGUAGE = EN / sy-langu
and order by position. (for correct sequencing)
You will get description of the fields (short,medium, long etc). You will also get the length and other details.

Data length for Date is 7 in all_tabs_columns
