Date Comparison during Validation

Hello Experts,
I am doing some validations in MDM 5.5.
The requirement is to give error in case date is less than 01-Jan-2010. How this can be achieved?
Thanks

Hi Sagar,
I could think of this Validation expression
IF( LEFT (XXXX, 4) >= 2010, IF ( MID (XXXX,6,2) >= 1, IF( MID (XXXX, 9, 2) >=1, TRUE, FALSE), FALSE ), FALSE )
Another expression can be
IF( LEFT (XXXX, 4) >= 2010, TRUE, FALSE)
Here, XXXX is the date field. Please do not enter any constant or field name manually, rather use drop down.
It should throw validation error if the date is less than 1 Jan 2010.
But the logic can be more complex if you are checking with any date in between year, for example 26 June 2010.
Lets wait for experts if they can provide some other solution.
Regards,
Shiv

Date Comparison Error

I have a database column named lastname this has text data entered in form of: 05/15/2010 and so on. ---long story on why text field and not date....
My code is as follows:
select b.lastname as sale_date, c.combined_legal as legal_address
from anthem_prod_usr.opr_logi_documents      a
,    anthem_prod_usr.opr_parties             b
,    anthem_prod_usr.opr_legal_headers       c
,    anthem_prod_usr.image_references        f
,    prod_pa.valid_dates                     g
where a.instrument_number = b.instrument_number
   and a.multi_seq = b.multi_seq
   and b.name_type = 'E'
   and b.lastname like ('__/__/____')
   and a.instrument_number = c.instrument_number
   and c.multi_seq = c.multi_seq
   and trunc(to_date(b.lastname,'mm/dd/yyyy')) between trunc(to_date('07/10/2010','mm/dd/yyyy')) and trunc(to_date('08/01/2010','mm/dd/yyyy'))
   and f.content_type_id = 'PUBLIC'
   and a.document_type = 'FORECLOSURE'
Error I receive is:
ORA-01843: not a valid month
01843. 00000 - "not a valid month"
*Cause:
*Action:
Using trunc function, I thought I was trimming time off to do only date comparison. Not sure why this error occurs.

Hi,
This shows one of the many reasons why storing date information in VARCHAR2 columns is such a bad idea.
TRUNC is irrelevant here. The error occurs in TO_DATE. You're doing TRUNC on the results of TO_DATE, so nothing you do with TRUNC will affect the error.
You must have some bad data in the column. If you can't actually clean up the table, then you have to detect the bad data before attempting TO_DATE.
Remember, the optimizer decides which conditions in the WHERE clause will be done first. There's no guarantee that
and b.lastname like ('__/__/____')
will be applied before TO_DATE. Even if it is, the condition above is just testing that the string is the right length and has slashes in the right places. It's checking that (for example) the month is between '01' and '12', or even if the month is numbers. The string '//////FOO/' meets the condition above.
See https://forums.oracle.com/message/4255051 for validating date information in SQL.
If you need help, post a complete test case that people can run to re-create the problem and test their ideas. Include CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for any tables needed. Also post the results you want from that sample data given.
Simplify the problem as much as possible. Remove any tables or conditions or anything else that isn't related to the problem.

Query about date comparison

Hi,
I have a database table with a date field called 'ENDDAT'
How do I write a select query that selects all records whose difference between sy-datum and 'ENDDAT' is greater than 7.
If I do the normal date comparison for eg.
select * from <databasetable> where enddat - sy-datum > 7
or
select * from <databasetable> where (enddat - sy-datum) > 7
It throws error that '-' is not a valid comparison operator.
Can anyone help????

I've never seen that done before. You can do as joseph has suggested.   If you can do it in the select statement, I'm not really sure that you'd want to put that kind of processing on the database.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
      enddat type sy-datum,
      end of itab.
select * into corresponding fields of table itab
       from <databasetable> .
data: cdatum type sy-datum.
Loop at itab.
cdatum = enddat - sy-datum
* if <= 7, then delete from itab.
if cdatum <= 7.
delete itab.
endif.
endloop.

Why am I being charged data usage during the times my phone is not being used?

I got a notice on my phone that my number has used all of its allowed data usage for the month. I looked at my current usage and seen that I was being charged for data usage during the times that I am not using my phone. I figured it up and it adds up to be more than the amount that you say I am over. Explain please.

Ok, what all should I turn off on my 5s and I should get any additional fees waived. I just got this new phone about a week before Thanksgiving and never got a notice till it was full. I have never went over before. I also have never been told that I could be charged data even if I am not using my phone and I should make these changes to prevent this.
Also, the phone was 2 days late getting to me. So in addition to any additional fees that I may occur from the overage I should get a credit for the delay in my phone being sent. Oh, and it probably would have been longer had I not called to see where it was at, which the guy that helped me put in the order and was to follow up the next day with a phone call to let me know what the status was and never did.

Conversion from string "20041023 " to type 'Date' is not valid.

Hi ,
I have a table with one of the column(EmpHiredate) datatype is char(10). It has value like "20141023". I need to display this value as date format(dd/mm/yyyy) in report.
Following methods i tried in textbox expression but no luck.
=Format(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,"dd/MM/yyyy")
=Cdate(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value)
Error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun ‘EmpHireDate.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ contains an error: Conversion from string "20041023 " to type 'Date' is not valid.
Is it possible to convert string to date using SSRS textbox expression ? Can anyone help me with the solution.
Thanks,

Hi Jmcmullen,
Found one more issue on the same. I have one value like "00000000" for the column(EmpHiredate)
, when i use above expression values(ex:"20141023")
are displaying in dd/MM/yyyy format in report except value like "00000000" and giving following error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun ‘EmpHireDate.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ contains an error: Conversion from string "0000/00/00" to type 'Date' is not valid.
Even i tried to pass its original value("00000000") as below but no luck.
=IIF(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value = "00000000","00000000",Format(CDATE(MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,1,4) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,5,2) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,7,2)),"dd/MM/yyyy"))
Also tried this:
=IIF(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value = "00000000","2000/10/21",Format(CDATE(MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,1,4) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,5,2) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,7,2)),"dd/MM/yyyy"))
Please Suggest.

Idoc data comparison between different R/3 clients.

Hi ppl ,
Is there a way idoc comparison can be done between different clients without going
by Segment by Segment comparison ?
I have a requirement wherein i have thousands of idocs in QA system and i need to
compare those with the ones in PROD system. The segments in the idocs may vary
depending on the data that flows from the third party system which will post idocs in R/3.
So, the segment wise comparison of data is also ruled out .
Do we have any standard reports which will help in achieving this purpose ?
Please let me know how the idoc data comparison can be carried out .
Regards,
Nick.

Hi Nick,
There is no standared tools available for comparing the data of two idocs.
By using beyond compare s/w you can check the data, but the thing is you have to download the idoc data to file format.
By using Idoc_xml_transform function module you can download idoc data to xml format, after you can compare.
Check this

How to update cgicmd.dat file during runtime?

I'd like to know how do update cgicmd.dat file during runtime. For example, I run a report one.jsp as
http://<machine>:<port>/reports/rwservlet?one.jsp&USERID=uid/pwd@db&DESTYPE=cache&mode=bitmap&desformat=htmlcss
within this report there is a hyperlink to open another report named two.jsp.
before creating this hyperlink, I'd like to update cgicmd.dat file with passed in userID, pwd, and connection, so two.jsp can use this key for userinfo
so I can create hyperlink as follows
srw.set_hyperlink('/reports/rwservlet?report=two.jsp'||
'&cmdkey=userinfo&DESTYPE=cache&mode=bitmap&desformat=htmlcss');
Thanks

To my knowledge the cgicmd.dat is only read when the OC4J starts, so you would have to come up with another solution. Using Single-Sign-On (SSO) is quite a good idea, and it's there for cases like this.

Time "and" Date Comparison

Hi,
I am trying to get the difference between two sets of time.
This also involves a Date comparison because sometimes the times span more than one day.
Here is an example of what I'm trying to accomplish. I have searched the forum archives but have not yet found time and date comparisons together.
startRun = "10/26/01 4:30 PM";
endRun = "10/27/01 7:45PM";
I want to process these two times and get the difference.
The result would be:
totalRunTime = "27 hours 15 minutes";
I am stumped. Is this type of process even possible? Any help would be grealty appreciated.

Update Bool_data during validation exit

Hello Experts,
Is it possible to update the Bool_data fields during validation Exit ? I tried Update and Modify but not working.
Example,
Lv_text = 'TEST01'.
Bool_data-bseg-sgtxt = Lv_text.
so after posting, we will find the FI document line item text = TEST01.
I do not want to use substitution, so please avoid that
Thank you

Hello Krishna,
You can not during a Validation Exit update the Bool_data fields.
To do so, SAP have created substitutions.

OBIEE Date Comparison report with multiple measures

Hello everyone...
I have a requirement where I need to create a date comparison report (Current Month vs. Prior Month vs Prior Month Year Ago vs YTD vs Prior YTD vs Rolling 3 months, etc) with multiple Measures (Quote count, Quote offered count, New Business count, etc). I am to generate this report in this fashion:
Quotes Current Month vs PM vs YoY Prior
Month Current Month Prior Year Current
YTD vs PM Prior
YTD Rolling 3 Months vs PM Prior Rolling 3 Months
Issued 120 120 123 1400 1020 1700 1580

I understand that time series is an option, and have created the time series (which show up as measures).
My problem is:
when creating the report (even as a pivot table) , OBIEE is not allowing me to drag the measure to rows, nor is it allowing me to drag the time series to columns. Also, I need to do conditional formating on some of the columns showing an up arrow for increased vs. prior month and down arrow for decreased vs. prior month.
Does anyone have a solution for this issue? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...
Please advise and thanks!!!

Jason,
You've been very helpful, but I guess I'm just not explaining myself that well. The Credit Memo's throw things off because they do not contain a "Paid Date" value. That field in the record is blank. Since it is blank the report query ignores them. Therefore when the report query returns all records that have a "Paid date" range of "x to y" they are never returned. This is a problem whenever a credit memo exists for an invoice because the "invoice total" never changes. So when a customer pays on their account for a particular invoice, they only pay what is due which is the "invoice total" minus any "credit" from the "Credit Memo". So when my A/R person receives payment they are showing the invoice paid in full because MAS automatically includes all invoices and credit memo's. My report does not because there is no data in the "Paid Date" field of the record for Credit Memos.
I've been doing alot research in trying to resolve this "exception" to my report. I think I may be on to something, but my knowledge of arrays is extremely limited. My resolution involves populating an array with the "invoice numbers" that are returned from the initial query from the supplied date range. Then using the "invoice numbers" from the array have it then populate my details section of the report with all of "invoice records" both the actual invoice record and any "credit memo" records. I can then group the records returned based upon the "invoice number". then within that grouping I can performing my calculations to show whether or not the invoice has been paid in full. What do you think? I've been able to populate an array with the invoice numbers based upon my date search range, but I have yet to figure out how to take that information and perform another lookup to pull in the rest of the data I need. Do you have any ideas?
Thanks. Bill

I never miss class....my instructor gave us the assignment of making a heap sort and he told us to use code off the internet as a resource because the only sorting we have done so far is bubble.....this was a research project, for my instructor to see if we can use the internet as an effective resource to put together a program and learn about a differnet type of sorting.....everyone in the class got a different type of sort (merge, quick, insertion, etc...). i have put the program together and customized it to my needs based on my knowledge.....the last thing i am having trouble with is my counting of comparisons and data movements. Can you please help me finish up my program.

Question on How to Use LI and NP Data Comparison Report

Hi,
We are trying to figure out how to make the Transaction Code PC00_M42_LLPD (LI and NP Data Comparison Report) work. What file type (.xls, .txt, etc) should be used? Anyone who is familiar with the transaction, please help.
Best Regards,
Bry

Somewhere in the Oracle 8.0 documentation it is stated that one
enviroment per each thread is required if I want to ensure
complete concurrency of different threads accessing databases.
But isn't this a waste of resources since only Handle Alloc &
Free functions use Enviroment handle, hence they should be
mutexed for access from concurrent threads.
But the most time-consuming functions are ServerAttach &
SessionBegin which shouldn't be mutexed since they have each
their own Server/Session handle.
So my question is if a single OCI Enviroment is enough for the
most demanding tasks or should I create one enviroment per
thread?
Most folks are happy with a single environment. The mutex on the
env handle is only taken when the OCI library is allocating some
memory for internal operations.
