Date and Time Variable

Hello BI gurus,
This may be confusing so I will try my best to explain...
I am working on a report in which I need to allow the user to choose a specific Date and Time period. Now I have both Date and Time avaliable in my infoprovider. If I create a variable for both date and time seperately it will not be able to associate the date with the time (right?).
Ex. User enters date range 2/01/2008 to 2/08/2008 and
Time range 10:00pm to 3:00pm
(and i understand that time may be kept using a 24 hr clock but this still doesnt fix my issue)
this will output an error because the first time is greater than the later.
and if I choose a time that is from 3:00 to 10:00 I can't be sure that the date range and the time are both being applied correctly (since this error above).
Is there a way that we can tie the date with the time so the report will know that I am asking for 2/01/2008 at 10:00pm to 2/08/2008 at 3:00pm?
or can i make the variables dependant on each other..enter begining date, time to end Date and Time
Thanks and sorry for the long thread I wanted to be as clear as possible,
Matt

Dear Matt;
I've the same problem!!!
Any solutions?

Hi Faisal,
which SQL version do you use? In 2005 there is no variable "date" or "time", instead of this you have to use "datetime".

CONCATENATE date and time into a text variable

Hi ABAP Gurus,
I would like to retrieve current system date and time and concatenate into a variable. I would really appreciate if someone could help me. I have the following code and i seem to get some kind of error.
I would like my output to be like:
     "22.JUN.2006 Some Text 12:30:22"
Code:
data: emtext     like TEMSG-EMTEXT.
data: date_output(50) TYPE C.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_SDATE_OUTPUT'
       EXPORTING
           INPUT          = SY-DATUM
       IMPORTING
            OUTPUT        = date_output.
SHIFT date_output RIGHT DELETING TRAILING SPACE.
CONCATENATE date_output ': Some Custom Message '
   INTO emtext.
Also, is there a function to convert time to text or conversion is not necessary?
Thanks.

Here is something a little closer to your requirement.
report zrich_0001 .
data: date(20) type c,
      time(10) type c,
      str type string.
data: xT247 type T247.
select Single * into xt247 from t247
          where MNR = sy-datum+4(2).
concatenate sy-datum+6(2) xt247-ktx sy-datum(4)
          INTO date separated by '.'.
write sy-uzeit to time.
concatenate date 'SomeText' time into str separated by space.
write:/ str.

Date and Time in Sender File Adapter Target Directory

Hi there,
is there a way of using Date and Time from XI to the Target Directory naming? To use variable substitution some fields of the message had to contain that date and time information, which is not our case.
For filename you can use "add time stamp" option, but and for target directory?
Thanks and regards,
Henrique.

Hi there, Moorthy
We've tried to write that shell script that you mentioned, but now we have a few doubts on how to make it create the proper directory.
In the file adapter, my target directory is "/%var1%/%var2%/", where %var1% and %var2% are variable substitutions, referencing data which comes from the payload. Now, I need the shell script to append "/<Year>/<Month>/" in the target directory. But where to archive the script? If it stays in the root directory, than how to make it create "/<Year>/<Month>/" folders inside a directory which is variable (/%var1%/%var2%/)?
Is there a way of passing %var1% and %var2% as parameters for the shell script?
Thanks a lot,
Henrique.

Need help in using SQL in a jsp file to compare date and time

hi every one,
Actually I am doing a project using JSP. I need to compare a date field in the database (MS Acess) to the current system date and time. I have to do this in a select statement.
I have alredy defined a variable of type Date in the JSP file and I am comparing this variable to the date in the database through a select statemant.
Here is what I am doing
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss");
java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
String myDate=sdf.format(today);
query = "SELECT Car_ID, Model_ID, Year, Ext_Color, Price from Cars where EDate <= "+myDate+" ;";
EDate is the feild in the database and it's format is (5/12/2008 5:29:47 PM) it is of type Date/Time in MS Acess.
when I execute the query it gives the following error
SQL error:java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'EDate <= 2008-10-16 08:10:07'.
I hope any one can help me with that error and answer my question, I've tried too many things but nothing helps
Thanks in advance :-)

Hi,
When the comparision is needed to be done with the current date , we don't need to send in Java
Date then format it and compare with MS Acess Date.
In MS Access we have Date() function which will give you the current date.
So you can try rewriting your query as following :
query = "SELECT Car_ID, Model_ID, Year, Ext_Color, Price from Cars where EDate <= Date() ;"; ---------------------
Hope this helps.
Thanks

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.

SAP XI : Date and Time Service

Hi All,
Is there any runtime variable or service in SAP XI through which I can
map the current DATE and TIME of the system. Currently I am using XSLT mapping and
in that XSL I am calling java code for Date and Time.
So is there any other way through which I can Map the date in the output field
without calling Java code in XSLT.
Thanks
Farooq

hi,
you can do it from java - if you use XSLT on java stack
you can do it from ABAP - if you use XSLT on ABAP stack
there are also java functions for date
in message mapping
so you can put two mappings (in your interface mapping object):
one XSLT
and one message mapping which will only fill the date
to see how many mappings work have a look at my weblog:

How to get the date and Time?

Hi,
I am using Jdev 11.1.2.0.
I had one database table. In that table one variable as bgnDtm and the datatype as oracle.jbo.domain.Timestamp. In my Impl class I declare one variable as beginDate(DateType as oracle.jbo.domain.Date).
Now I am using the conversion as beginDate=(Date) SampleVO.getAttribute("bgnDtm ");.If I using this scenario I got the Type cast error. so how can I separate Date and Time value.
So how to do. Please provide some suggestions.
Regards,
Ragu.

you can get the time value either from oracle.jbo.domain.Timestamp or from oracle.jbo.domain.Date
oracle.jbo.domain.Timestamp timeStampDate = (oracle.jbo.domain.Timestamp) SampleVO.getAttribute("bgnDtm");
Time time;
        try {
            time = timeStampDate.timeValue();
            System.out.println(time);
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        java.sql.Date sqlDate=timeStampDate.dateValue();
            oracle.jbo.domain.Date jboDate=new oracle.jbo.domain.Date(sqlDate);
        Time timeValue = jboDate.timeValue();
        System.out.println(timeValue);Edited by: M.Jabr on Dec 23, 2011 1:55 PM

Date and time diffrence calculations

Dear Experts,
I have a doubt regarding the date and time diffrence calculation please help me out.
This is regarding the report called u201CVehicle tracking systemu201D. The purpose of this report is to give the user information like how many vehicles have come in and how much time each vehicle has parked in the filling in the refinery and also the average time taken for a customer.
For this we have created 4 info objects called
1)     Park In Time
2)     Park In Date
3)     Gate Out Time
4)     Gate Out Date
We have created a routine which calculate the difference in Vehicle Park In Date & Time to Gate Out Time and Date
The Time difference is number format.
Example: For Vehicle1
Park in Date and Park in Time are         27.11.2008 and 17:43:35
Gate out Date and Gate out Time are     29.11.2008 and 09:36:16
Here routine will calculate the difference in the above date and time and the output is like this     1,155.138,000 (i.e. 1day, 15 hours 51 mins and 38 seconds) that means the vehicle has parked for 1 day and 15 hours etc.
But we require the output like    1 day, 15:51:38
Please give us the solution how to go about it.
Thanks in advance,
venkat

Hi,
I think in regard to your problem, the solution will be to make the variables in the query runtime by the replacement path variable.
Please find the below link, its very much self explanatory and in regard to your problem.
Hope it helps!

Integration with Outlook - how to increment end date and time from start date/time

Hi,
I want to add a variable amount of time to an appointment start date and time in outlook, through vba in access. Code below shows what I've done:
======================================
Dim olApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim olAppointment As AppointmentItem
Dim myRequiredAttendee As Outlook.Recipient
Set olAppointment = olApp.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
With olAppointment
.Start = DateValue(strStartDate) + TimeValue(strStartTime)
.Duration = intDuration
.End = DateValue(strStartDate) + ????????
=======================================
What do I replace the ????? with so that it increments the start time by any duration I decide in minutes? Using the duration doesn't seem to work and I also want to be able to have the appointment span a number of days, e.g. could start at 930am on
Monday and end at 10am on Weds, but want to set the end time relative to the start time.
Thanks,
Chris.
_________________________________________________________ Every day is a school day!

I've tried that, but it throws out a datatype mismatch error :(
It would be helpful if you posted the exact code you tried. In my tests, setting teh .Duration property appears to work. However, if you want to set the .End property to a specific number of minutes after the date/time of the .Start property,
this works for me:
With olAppointment
.start = DateValue(strStartDate) + TimeValue(strStartTime)
.End = .start + TimeSerial(0, intDuration, 0)
End With
Assuming, that is, that intDuration contains the number of minutes the appointment should last.

Date and Time calculation in the Service Module

Dear all,
I have quite of a challenge here and i need serious guidance from your side.
My client is in services industry and requires to calculate the date and time when the service call as to be closed. Not only it depends on the contract type the service is linked to but as well on the priority.
The priority in Business One is unique, therefore we created a UDT (User Defined Table) to store the different 'response time' per contract/per priority. Example: a Platinum contract is always 24/7. But a gold contract priority 1 has to be closed in 240 minutes (4 workable hours) while a gold contract priority 2 has to be closed in 480 minutes (8 workable hours).
I created 7 user defined fields on the Service Contract header that calculates the workable minutes per day. So if my coverage for Monday is from 8 AM to 4 PM, my UDF called DiffMon will show 480. For Tuesday, they start a bit later, and the coverage is 8:30 untill 16:00, therefore my UDF called DiffTue = 450.If the check box before the day in the Service Contract window is not ticked, then the UDF shows zero.
I succeeded to calculate the expected closing time by using CASE WHEN statements as following, (all calculated in minutes):
     First, I need to check which day the Service call is created: A Monday or Thursday or... since my time coverage can change every day! I use SET DATEFIRST = 1 and compare today's date accordingly with my UDF DiffMon, DiffTue, etc.
     Then, When end of coverage time today Monday (4PM) minus the create time on the Service Call (1PM) is less then the time stored in my user defined table for that contract and that priority (i.e.480), then just add that to the create time and the create date (DateAdd(mi,...,...) ).
    When end of coverage time Monday (4PM) - Create time (1PM) + DiffTue(450) is bigger than 480, then I know I have enough time to solve my service call tomorrow Tuesday and I take the start time of Tuesday (8:30) + remaining time from yesterday (480-180 -> 180 = 3hours from 1PM to 4PM) and add that to the Create date + 1 so the end result will show Tuesday date and a time of 13:30
   Etc. untill I cover all possibilities based on which day is the service call created.
NOW, I need to include the holiday table !!!!!!!!!! And I can't foresee how the hell I am going to do that.
The maximum coverage can go up to 60 hours, that means more than a working week! What happens if I have more than one bank holiday in that week period? What happens when my holiday table tells me that date is a bank holiday but it is actually a Sunday and my contract is only running from Monday to Friday?
Am I going straight to a big mess up?
I will highly appreciate your comments,
Regards,
Frederic

Hi,
it is possible in query designer,
u do the two things for getting the days between to dates
1) in CMOD write the code for sy-datum create a customer exit variable in query as on caldate like eg zcedate
when 'zcedate'.
clear l_s_range.
l_s_range-sign = 'i'.
l_s_range-opt = 'eq'.
l_s_range-low = sy-datum.
append l_s_range to e_t_range.
u write this code exit_saplrrso_001.
it givs the sydatum
2) then u create one more variable on zdate limit with replacement path
then u go forto create the formula variable then it display ascreen there u select both customer exit variable and replacement path variable
zcedate-replacementpathvariable
it gives days i worked on this and succedded.
like the same way fortime also u can do but here at the time of creating the customer exit varible u go for option as range here
l_s_range-low = '20012009'
l_s_range-high = '29012009'
l_s_range-sign ='i'.
l_s_range-opt = 'bt'.
please try with the above one.
Thanks & rEgards,

Hello everyone, How do I add by default a date on the actual E-mail page the date and time of when I have sent the e-mail ? Thank you very much for your suggestions. Kind regards, Christopher H. Bull, Birmingham, UK.

Birmingham, Thursday 2. Feb. 2012
To whom it may concern,
I have an issue regarding the e-mail system, and I wanted to know how I can add a default that the date and time is added automatically to the E-mail page everytime I draft a new e-mail.
Does anyone know how do create a "plug-in" to enable me to have the date and t ime posted on the e0-mail page every time i send a new e-mail ?
If there is a plug in which is compatible with Lion iMac computers thart insert the date and time into every E-mail I send ?
Kind regards

This supports macros and variables, it doesn't specifically state date and time, but if it supports variables I'd be surprised if it didn't have variables for those:
http://email.about.com/cs/mailplugins/gr/mailtemplate.htm
This one also supports variables and may do what you want:

Date and time format please

I have a date and time held separately eg. int day, int month, int year. same with hours seconds and minutes
Is there an easy way to format this information into date and time please!!

You might just build a string and convert it to a Date.
 import java.util.*;
 import java.text.*;
 /** getDateFromString converts a String to a Date according to the szPattern format.
 ** The szPattern format is based on a SimpleDateFormat custom format
 ** or the Date.toString( ) output format as a default
 public Date getDateFromString( String stringDate, String szPattern ) {
 SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter;
 Date myDate = new Date( );
 if( szPattern.length( ) <= 0 )
 szPattern = new String( szDefaultPattern );
 dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat( szPattern, currentLocale );
 try {
 myDate = dateFormatter.parse( stringDate );
 } catch( ParseException e ) {
 P.rintln( e );
 return( myDate );
 }The following class variables are defined elsewhere:
currentLocale = new Locale("en","US");
szDefaultPattern = "EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss z yyyy";
