Date and Numeric Formatting in SQL Report
In a sql report, under column formatting, I would like to format one of the columns to show percentage so it looks like this - 36%. I have tried to input a % symbol in the format mask and this does not seem to work. Is a percentage value permissible and if it is what is the correct format mask I should use?
Melissa,
Putting "%" is not a valid format. To achieve the result that you are looking for just concatinate it with "%".
like:
select to_char(deptno)| |'%' DeptNo, .. from emp

Date Formatting and SSN Formatting from BIP Report
Hello,
I found out how to format phone numbers.
I just need help in formatting 2 fields from our report.
1. The Call Date (MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM/PM)
2. SSN (123-45-6789)
First, I am using the command below to convert the date into canonical format after the namespace:psfn.
<?psfn:totext(ssWarrantyUpdatedDt, 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MI:SS')?>
I then tried formatting the date using the Microsoft Format Mask definitions but it didn't work.
On the SSN, I didn't see anything from the bookshelf that shows me how to do this formatting.
Can anyone please help me?
Thank youHi,
If you XML data is coming from Oracle Report (RDF), why dont you do date and SSN formatting in SQL itself. So that you will get directly the required format in XML. That is how I am doing in my report. Most of the time it is easy to make changes in Oracle Report SQL rather than in template bcoz BI publisher dont support so many MS Word properties.
Thanks,

Date and Cost formats in export toward Excel (2013)
Hi,
I'm trying to export Start date and Cost of my project tasks to Excel:
File/Save as/ Excel Workbook...
but all these date and cost data arrive in Excel with Text format. With the 2003 version, date and cost formats were well recognized.
I'm using Project 2013 English and Excel 2013 English on a French Win 7.
What are the settings (decimal separator...) which are needed to allow this feature ?
ThanksHi Julie,
Thanks for your help.
The "Convert to Number" feature works fine for the Cost.
But the dates arrive as text with a long format such as "03 August 2015 08:00" and the =DateValue(Cell
reference) function returns an error : #VALUE!
Any idea to retrieve the dates?
Thanks again -

Pasi.Hi,
I didnot under stand your first question coulf you be more specfic.
2. Ans : In general , we will follow the below steps
--First we we check for the file is picked or no, if not see the Sender side CC parameters like mode and path details
--If file was picked then we need to check whether we are using the File content conversion parameters or not if yes we need to check the FCC parameters ,
Goto RWB-Channelmonitoring by the following link
http://host:port/mdt/channelmonitorservlet
select the sender side CC name and check for errors
If no errors in above, goto SXMB_MONI for Integration Engine xml processing , check for successful or error occured black or red color
--if success in SXMB_MONI then we need to check in RWB as above channel monitor now select the receiver side CC
If no errors then check for output file is placed intarget or not
Please reward points if it helps

Menu bar date and time format in Lion
Is there a way to change the formatting of the date and time shown in the menu bar in Lion? I've been googling for a while, but can't find a solution. At the moment the time has a very unusual format of <hh:mm.ss>. Note the '.' before seconds. What I want to achieve is to change that dot to a colon as it normally is (and was in Leopard and earlier, don't know about Snow Leopard), ie. <hh:mm:ss>. I've checked the date and time formats in system settings several times, but those have no effect on the menu bar. When I set the clock to display an analogue icon and click on it, the date and time in the popup menu are shown correctly using the full format.

Well ofcourse I am. And no, I am not using a third party utility. This functionality has been available in OSX for ages.
I never noticed that option!
It works ok for me (with a colon, not a dot).
Is it possible you have a dead pixel where the top dot of the colon should be? -
Validation on data and time format
Hi
In a flat file a date and time fill in but user. And the data and time format should always be fill in with the format <DDMMYYYY> <HHMMSS>
is there a FM which check whether user has put the wrong date format such as <YYYYMMDD> or <MMDDYYYY> instead for the the one mention above.
Please advise whether there is a FM which check on the format on the time stamp also.
Note: the input of the data and time is done by the user.
ThankHi,
use the new OOPs concept,
PARAMETERS dateTYPE c LENGTH 10.
DATA matcher TYPE REF TO cl_abap_matcher.
* For date
matcher = cl_abap_matcher=>create( pattern = `[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{2,4}`
ignore_case = 'X'
text = date ).
IF matcher->match( ) IS INITIAL.
MESSAGE 'Wrong Format' TYPE 'I'.
ELSE.
MESSAGE 'Format OK' TYPE 'I'.
ENDIF.
like dis pattern for time :
[0-9]{1,2}:[0-9]{2}
pattern for timestamp:
[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{2,4} [0-9]{1,2}:[0-9]{2}

How to change date and time format
Hi experts,
Can i know how to change the date and time format?
I want the date format to be dd-mmm-yyyy and time format to be hh:mm:ss
These date and time is in my sapscript form.
I make use of PERFORM function in sapscript.
This is the code in my print program.
FORM get_actlog_QA TABLES in_tab STRUCTURE itcsy
out_tab STRUCTURE itcsy.
DATA: object TYPE string, "
qaname LIKE JCDS-USNAM, "NAME for engineering process, QA Manager
qadate LIKE JCDS-UDATE, "DATE changed in engineering process, QA Manager
qatime LIKE JCDS-UTIME. "TIME changed in engineering process, QA Manager
DATA: lt_jcds type standard table of jcds,
wa_jcds like line of lt_jcds,
new_date(10) type c.
READ TABLE in_tab INDEX 1.
MOVE in_tab-value TO object.
select * into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE lt_jcds
from jcds WHERE objnr = object
AND ( stat = 'E0005' )
AND inact = ''.
Loop at lt_jcds into wa_jcds.
qaname = wa_jcds-USNAM.
qadate = wa_jcds-UDATE.
qatime = wa_jcds-UTIME.
READ TABLE out_tab INDEX 1.
MOVE qaname TO out_tab-value.
MODIFY out_tab INDEX sy-tabix.
READ TABLE out_tab INDEX 2.
MOVE qadate TO out_tab-value.
MODIFY out_tab INDEX sy-tabix.
READ TABLE out_tab INDEX 3.
MOVE qatime TO out_tab-value.
MODIFY out_tab INDEX sy-tabix.
endloop.
clear wa_jcds.
ENDFORM.
This is my PERFORM in sapscript.
/: DEFINE &V_QANAME& = ''.
/: DEFINE &V_QADATE& = ''.
/: DEFINE &V_QATIME& = ''.
/: PERFORM GET_ACTLOG_QA IN PROGRAM ZFIR002

Sapscript
Prepared by : &V_QANAME& ,, &V_QADATE& ,, &V_QATIME&
The output now is
Prepared by: Name 20080312 115536
I want to change the date format to 12-MAR-2008
and the time format to 11:55:36
Can anyone please suggest on how to solve this?
Thank you.Hi,
Before assigning the QADATE value you can write the logic to display 20080312 as 12-MAR-2008 taking the offset values .
Like
qadate = wa_jcds-UDATE.
qatime = wa_jcds-UTIME.
lw_year = qadate(4).
lw_month = qadate+4(2).
lw_date = qadate+6(2).
case lw_month.
when 1.
when 2.
concatenate lw_date '-FEB-' lw_year into qadate.
when 3.
concatenate lw_date '-MAR-' lw_year into qadate.
endcase.
READ TABLE out_tab INDEX 2.
MOVE qadate TO out_tab-value.
MODIFY out_tab INDEX sy-tabix.
And you can also change the timeformat also .
then assign that value to qatime .Then
READ TABLE out_tab INDEX 3.
MOVE qatime TO out_tab-value.
MODIFY out_tab INDEX sy-tabix.
I think this helps you.

How do you change the date and time format in Pages
I've tried changing the date and time format a number of times for Pages but it does not change. I'm going to the System Preferences/Language and Text and Formats. I make the changes click on OK and go back to Pages. NO change.
Hi Uncle,
Page 116 of the Pages'09 User Guide: Control Click the date, Edit Date and Time.
Date and time can also be in a table. Format the table cell.

ESS services date and time format?
Hi,
How can we change the date and time format displayed on some of the ESS services like addresses, LR screen? Currently I see US format date MM/DD/YYYY and time is in european format 12,50 instead of dot(.).
I tried changing the browser setting to UK but it didn't work. Any other suggestion please?
Thanks
PraveenI tried to create a simple WD application with just date control UI element, I can see the date format is displayed based on my browser setting. If I change it to US in my browser locale, it date format changes to US date format, if I change it to UK locale the date format is UK based.
Only my ESS/MSS applications are always displayed as US format. I checked at the iView level and I can only see ForcedRequestLanguage but I cannot see ForcedRequestCountry property so I'm unable to set any country specific details here. When I look at the JCo connection language tab, I see the
Current locale: en
Default VM locale: en_US
I think this is where change is required. However I changed following JCo languages from en to en_UK but still no luck
SAP_R3_HumanResources
SAP_R3_HumanResources_MetaData
Backend is checked as posted above.
I checked below which is the second precendence in determining locale
Portal mandatory locale -- open file prtDefault.properties on server under
/usr/sap/<SID>/JC#/j2ee/cluster/server#/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/web-inf/portal/system/properties/
I cannot find below mandatory parameters in the prtDefault.properties file
request.mandatorylanguage
request.mandatorycountry
However, I found this
request.defaultlanguage=en
request.defaultcountry=us
Is this something I can change? Or should I replace or should I add mandatoryLanguage/country?
Can this file be edited through NWA or should this file be edited manually at the file system level?
Please advice.
Thanks
Praveen
