Date Column Defaulting to 12:00 AM When It Shouldn't

I have a column called 'Archive Date'. All it is is a date field with a timestamp in the format dd/mon/yy HH:MI AM. When I added the table with this Archive Date column to my business area it looks fine. If I look at a list of values in today's date range, I see: (17-Nov-09 10:15 AM), (17-Nov-09 10:18 AM) and (17-Nov-09 10:23 AM). All still looks fine.
But, when I create a report, the Archive Date column for all records from November 17th looks like this: (17-Nov-09 12:00 AM). Regardless of whether the list of values shows it should be 10:15, 10:18 or 10:23, they all show 17-Nov-09 *12:00 AM* in the report. It makes me think the report can't see the 3 distinct times and it's just plugging in 12:00 AM because it doesn't see a value. But, why would that be if the business area can see all 3 distinct times? Discoverer can even see the 3 times when I'm editing the workbook. It sees 17-Nov-09 10:15, 10:18 and 10:23 when I'm looking at the list of values from Edit Worksheet. But, when the report is run, it only shows 12:00 AM (which isn't even an option).
Any ideas as to what's going on with this date column?
Thanks!

That didn't work either. I'm still getting the wrong timestamp.
But, I did try something else, with more unexpected results. Just for the heck of it, I exported my workbook to excel (the workbook showing the 12:00 AM timestamps). When I opened the Excel file, it has the Archive Date with the correct times. Very strange. I export the workbook with all 17-NOV-09 12:00 AM timestamps in every Archive Date row, and in Excel it opens with the correct dates (17-NOV-09 10:15, 10:18 and 10:23 AM). So weird.
That seems to reinforce that Discoverer can at least see the dates as they exist in the data warehouse, but for some reason, it insists on displaying 12:00 AM. And exporting the 12:00 AM results to Excel actually produces the correct times. Is this like some Java bug or something? I seem to get bit by Java problems more often than not.
***EDIT***
I shouldn't say your suggestion didn't work entirely. It worked in that I am no longer getting 17-NOV-09 12:00 AM. But, it's returning a timestamp that does not exist for the given record. For example, all 3 Nov 17th timestamps (in the Discoverer report) are now showing 17-NOV-09 10:11 AM. 10:11 AM isn't even a timestamp available in the database for any record in the table. Why did it arbitrarily pick 10:11? It seems like your suggestion to create a TO_CHAR calculation from the column is on the right track, but the 10:11 AM thing is odd.

Data Manager Default System Messages

Hi, I need to change the data managers default system messages e.g
When adding a duplicate value into a unique field you get; "Unique Constrains Violated" it should read something like "Duplicate value, try again"
Please advice.
Thanks

Hi Chris,
As rightly mentioned by Jitesh, this is not supported by MDM.
You can only set custom messages to the Validations that you create in Data manager yourself which will be displayed if those validations are voilated.

Hash Marks Displayed In Date columns

Hi Experts
I have two date columns in my report.
But when i export this to excel spreadsheet i am getting
Hash Marks Displayed Instead of Dates on few of cells ....
I am really frustrated and tried everything by formatting date using to_char ,to_date in universe and also tried formatting
date in Infoview side.
But whenever i export this , I get ######## instead of dates .
Can anyone please advise ?

Hi Savrav,
1. Fields in excel give ####### values when the column width is not sufficient to show the complete length of values in the cells.
I hope you've tried expanding the column width in excel.
2. Also, what is the source file? Is it a DB table or a BEx query on which you have built the Universe?
Worth checking the format of the date field in the source file.

Error giving a default value to a date column in the attribute settings.

I have downloaded and installed the latest version of numbers on my mac. Everytime I save and then try to reopen that document, I receive a message telling me that I need a new version of numbers. Also, when I try to sort the date column, it sorts out of order. The last version sorted fine.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you install the new iWork version, the old iWork version is kept, so it looks like you are opening your old version.
To fix this, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and drag the new Numbers version to the Dock, so you can access to it quickly. Open all documents from this version. I don't recommend you to delete the old Numbers version in case you need it.
Respecting to the second question, you will get better answers in the Numbers for OS X forum

Overlapping data when more data column chart SSRS

Hi guys,
In my ssrs report the column chart display is not good when more number of datas are viewed.How to overcum this issue
I searched more on this issue no good solution found.
I attached screenshot for this report,
any suggestions pls
Thanks,
R.B

Hi R.B,
I can reproduce the issue in my local environment. If there are more column data with adjacent values in the chart, the label will be overlapped due to the insufficient space. In this scenario, there are several properties you can use to try to get the labels
to fit better. Click the data point to open the Properties Windows, then go to the SmartLabels node.
Expand the "NoMoveDirections" node. This will give us a lot of directions that we can use to restrict the directions that the labels can move in. We can try to change directions to see if it helps.
Try to enlarge the chart size and use the method below to adjust the column size, it will free up more space to contain the label.
http://www.bidn.com/blogs/ChrisAlbrektson/bidn-blog/1832/ssrs-adjust-bar-chart-width
If we want to remove the black arrow, we can refer to the following thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/e3019086-4f72-4898-ba86-2e7c97c8fae4/ssrs-series-lable-overlaping-issue?forum=sqlreportingservices
Alternatively, we can use Tooltip property to instead of actually displaying. Type the same expression with Value field in the Tooltip property.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Select distinct for a date column in present. service when creating prompt

I am trying to create some new prompts in my answers and I have the following problem. When I try to create a new prompt on a date column ( for example Modification Date), when I try to run this report on this prompt it is displaying the same date a lot of times ( for example 2/4/11 it is being displayed 4 times).
Is there any way i can change this, so to display distinct dates?
Thank you and best regards

When i try select distinct modification date from My_view, i still have the same dates because they have different hours.

Hi: Ihave find out a solution
Use BADI: BADI_MATERIAL_REF
SPROlogistics general enhancement supplement or change default data (industry)
And then creating a Implementation Name
Double click method: CREATE_MATERIAL
And then write code as below:
method IF_EX_MATERIAL_REFERENCE~CREATE_MATERIAL.
c_mbew-peinh = '1000' .
endmethod.
However, SAP still store '1000' in database evenif we change the default value such as 100 when we use TCode MM01.
in additional, we still use MM02 to change the default value such as '100'
can anybody tell me how to do?
thanks

Odbc Driver error when using specific date column

I am receiving the this error:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error DetailsError Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 46036] Internal Assertion: Condition len <= desc->objectLength_, file ..\Oci8\Src\SQXDGOci8.cpp, line 614. (HY000)
It happens when I try to to set criteria on a specific date column or I do not set criteria at all. If I set date column 1 to greater than 4 or so months back the report returns, along with all the dates from date column 2. But if I then try to set date column 2 as the criteria, no matter if I just ask for data from a week until today, I receive this error. I tried changing the Server Stack size to 512, but that did not help. Anyone have an idea on this???

You seem to be using an ODBC connection with an Oracle database, is that correct? If so you should install the Oracle client and use the OCI driver instead and it is much faster and stable than ODBC.

Hide/disable a row of a list when "date" column is less than today's date.

Hi,
We are using a "Finalsubmitted" date column in my list. my requirement is once that date of Finalsubmitted column is expired(less than today's date), total row should be in hide/disable mode.Could you help me to achieve this.
Thanks.

that is a drop down, showing the results from another list based on our selection.
We have used SP services for that.
But, date conversion is wrong on var pubdate= new date(dateselected.value) line.
It is showing "NaN(Not a number)" . date format it is giving DDMMYYYY.
But, i need MMDDYYYY. How can we convert in JavaScript.
Plz check below code.
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
today = new Date();
getTagFromIdentifierAndTitle("select","Lookup","Dates").onchange = function() {ChangeEvent1()};
function ChangeEvent1()
var dateSelected = document.getElementById("Dropdown ID");
var pubdate = new Date(dateSelected.value);
if(pubdate<=today)
$("input[value$='Save']").attr('disabled', true); //button hides
alert("Publishing Date should be greater than Today's Date");
else
$("input[value$='Save']").attr('disabled', false); //button shown
function getTagFromIdentifierAndTitle(tagName, identifier, title) {
var len = identifier.length;
var tags = document.getElementsByTagName(tagName);
for (var i=0; i < tags.length; i++) {
var tempString = tags[i].id;
if (tags[i].title == title && (identifier == "" || tempString.indexOf(identifier) == tempString.length - len)) {

ViewObject (Date column) works fine in 9.0.3 but causes errors in 9.0.5

Good Morning,
I have generated entity/view objects, from the same table, for JDev9.0.3 and JDev9.0.5. The application runs fine under JDev9.0.3.
When I drag/drop a view onto the design panel within 9.0.5 and run its associated dataAction two unexpected thing occur.
1. The table displays 'no records found' in the browser. I am certain the table has thousand's of records.
2. When I refresh the browser (hold the ctrl key and click MS Explorers refresh button) I receive the following error:
oracle.jbo.domain.DataCreationException: JBO-25009: Cannot create an object of type:oracle.jbo.domain.Date with value:oracle.sql.TIMESTAMP@2228
I can reproduce this error on 'any' table which have date columns. Again, the same view displays fine under 9.0.3. Can this problem be reproduced on your end using 9.0.5? If so, there a work-around? If not, do you have any ideal on what would cause this? Is there a workaround or a patch?
Thank you

I am basically following the procedures described here:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/collateral/tutorials/9050/adfuix_tut.html
My Date column attributes are set as follows:
Entity Attribute Tab;
a. The name is DateCreated
b. The type is Date
c. Updateable is Always
d. Persistend and Queriable is checked.
Attribute Properties Tab:
Default values
Control Hints Tab:
a. Display Hint: Display
b. Format Type: Simple Date
c. Format: yyyy-MM-dd
d. Control Type: Default
e. Form Type: Detail
My business components were created from my
'Business Components Diagram'. I created the diagram using dnd from a table located under the 'Connections --> Database' pane.
I also have a StrutsPageFlow diagram. When I dnd a viewobject onto one of my "uix" pages, I do not see 'EL' binding syntax on any date columns. I can see this information within my other columns.
I understand the Emp table has a HireDate column. Are you able to display the 'HireDate' column on a uix page? If you are and were using the same build of JDeveloper, then I need to figure out what Im doing wrong. My first guess is the way 9.0.2/9.0.3 handled dates and the way 9.0.5 is handling dates is different.
Thanks
