Date entered as DD/MM/YYYY converts to MM.DD.YYYY

Hi all.
I'm creating a Webdynpro Abap application. In this application, there is a date input field. All our users have the date format set to DD.MM.YYYY, so when the date is displayed, it's in this format.
However, when a user enters a date using "/" instead of "." , the system takes it as if the user was using MM/DD/YYYY format, and converts the values that way.
Example:
User enters 01.02.09 -> This is stored as 20090201
User enters 01/02/09 -> This is stored as 20090102
User enters 15/02/09 -> User gets error "invalid date" (since 15 is processed as month)
You can see that day and month changes places if you use "/".
I have asked SAP and they said this is normal, since the only valid formats are DD.MM.YYYY and MM/DD/YYYY.
So, does anybody know a way to prevent this conversion? A user-exit or BADI could be useful..
Thanks.

It does not help either.. WDA keeps converting 1/2/3 to 20030102.
I have found my own solution: I have created a conversion exit to modify the user entry before the system processes it, and in the conversion exit, I replaced all .-/ characters with user's valid date separator. Then the system does the rest.
e.g. if a user enters 1/2/3, I convert this to "1.2.3", then call cl_abap_datfm=>conv_date_ext_to_int. It becomes 20030201, which is what I want..
Thanks to everyone who tried to help..

FM to convert Date Entered to a standard format

Hello All,
Is there any FM to convert the date entered (in the format given in SU01) to a standard format
(Eg: DD.MM.YYYY). Is there any FM that does the reverse of it.
Please help us out with your suggesstions.
Thanks,

Hi seetharaman,

Convert the date of string to datetime format 'MM/dd/yyyy' when the system date format is 'dd/MM/yyyy'.

I need convert the date of string format 'MM/dd/yyyy' to datetime format 'MM/dd/yyyy' when the system date format is 'dd/MM/yyyy'.Since
I need to search values based on date where my database datetime is 'MM/dd/yyyy' format.

In my opinion you should re-consider the assumption that the date picker returns a string. Maybe it is able to return a
DateTime object directly instead of string. Then you will pass this value as a parameter of SQL query. This should work regardless of computer configuration.
Otherwise, follow the previous string-based approaches.

Date validation in "DD-MON-YYYY" Format,

Hi ,
I have created a textbox with date picker as (dd-mon-yyyy) .
Now i want to create a validation on it for the format (dd-mon-yyyy) .
I have created a pl/sql code with type "function returning error text".
Begin
If :P4_END_DATE IS NOT NULL THEN
if :P4_END_DATE != to_date(:P4_END_DATE ,'DD-MON-YYYY') then
return 'END DATE should be in "DD-MON-YYYY" Format';
end if;
END IF;
End;
When i type in like 20-NOV-08 it gives error as 'START DATE should be in "DD-MON-YYYY" Format',
but when i change month like 20-11-2008 , it actually gives error
ORA-01843: not a valid month
Error ERR-1024 Unable to run "function body returning text" validation.

Error ERR-1024 Unable to run "function body returning text" validation.The call to 'to_date' is raising an exception when it tries to convert your date, standard PL/SQL exception handling takes over and the rest of your code is ignored.
You could try:
declare
pragma exception_init(invalid_date,-01830);
l_dummy date;
Begin
If :P4_END_DATE IS NOT NULL THEN
l_dummy := to_date(:P4_END_DATE ,'DD-MON-YYYY') then
END IF;
exception
when invalid_date then
return 'END DATE should be in "DD-MON-YYYY" Format';
End;
but even that will not check that the user actually used your desired format - the to_date can be quite flexible e.g. accepting separators other than the '-' that you have declared. In fact, the above would only catch the user entering a 'date' that is shorter than the format string - changing the 'invalid_date' for 'others' would capture more (all!) exceptions.
You probably want to look at using regular expressions to perform the format validation.

INSERT & UPDATE changing date format to mm/dd/yyyy!!!

Well, I've established that it's DW8.0.2 that is causing this
strange
occurence.
Reverted back to previously created versions of my
INSERT/UPDATE form pages
(created in DWMX) and it all works fine!!
I think that makes the whole situation even more frustrating
because I had
HUGE problems with this back in 2003/2004, and resolved it.
Now I've upgraded to DW8.0.2 and it's all gone "ape" again.
<sigh>
Any ideas, looking at the code in my initial post, why this
is happening?

Trasnform current date to format MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss AM/PM

Hi All,
How do I transform current date to format MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss AM/PM?
I am able to get the format MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss by using the standard date function. How do I get AM or PM to end of MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss??
Thanx
Navin

Hi Navin,
How AM/PM is added? In the sample values given its in 24 hrs notation. Are u sure you want to add AM/PM to this notation? or U want to change this 24 hrs notation into 12 hrs and add AM/PM?
For converting into 12 hrs and appending AM/PM you can use this code:
input a:
int hr = Integer.parseInt(a.substring(11,13));
String appendVal = "AM";
if(hr > 12){
   hr = hr - 12;
   appendVal = "PM";
} else if(hr == 12){
   appendVal = "PM";
} else if(hr == 00){
   hr = hr + 12;
Sting finalVal = a.substring(0,11) + String.ValueOf(hr) + a.substring(13,a.length()) + appendVal;
return finalVal;

SQL * Loader : Load data with format MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS PM

Date format from mm/dd/yyyy to dd-mmm-yyyy

How to convert the date from 01/01/2006 to 01-Jan-2006??

Hi sravanthi,
1. we have to apply some logic for that,
   and use the standard FM
   'MONTH_NAMES_GET'
2. i have an independent FORM/PERFORM
   in which we give input as some date,
   and it returns date in format
   dd-mon-yyyy.
3. just copy paste in new program and run.
report abc.
DATA : mname(25) TYPE c.
PARAMETER : d TYPE sy-datum default sy-datum.
PERFORM getmonth USING d mname.
WRITE :/ mname.
FORM getmonth USING d mname.
DATA : month_names LIKE t247 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA : m(2) TYPE c.
m = d+4(2).
CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_NAMES_GET'

    mname = month_names-ktx.

Re:How to pick the date format as dd/MM/yyyy from the database

Hi all,

Hi,
you can use SimpleDateFormat to parse Date objects to formatted Strings
SimpleDateFormat (Java Platform SE 7 )
Note that dependent in your Date type you may deal with Date or SQL Date in ADF BC. SqlDate woild need to be converted to Date first and then parsed into a formatted String. I suggest you Google for SimpleDateFormat examples

Data entered by user in the front end is lost when ever their is an error

Hi,
I am working for an internal tool aplication which is used to enter/manipulate employee details.
We are using ORACLE APEX for this.
We have completed most of the application wr.t Master detail page
But when we are testing we had this problem as below:
The user enters a new record with some details as Employee name,DOJ,Salary etc
When the user has entered correct details the data is loaded in to database,
But when the data entered is wrong at any stage say Salary after entering say 10 fields, an error is popped up as per the code. And when the user getss back to the eneterd fields to change the data suddenly eneterd fileds are disappeared.
Can anyone please help us in understanding this with a solution

Hi Rafi,
We are also facing similar kind of issue.
When i select type of leave as annual it is giving an error message as
" Parameter missing in call of method BUILD_ACTOR_SELECT_CLAUSE in class CA_PT_REQ_ACTOR "
But when i select some other leave type and click review it is working fine, again if i click on previous step and change the leave type to annual it is working fine without giving any error message.
Please let us know how you have solved your issue?
Thanks.
