Date Field Import - Which format

Hello,
I have a date field on a table in application express. An example of the data that is exported for the date field is: '2008-09-26T10:00:00'. I want to import this data and I do not know what format this is. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Problem Querying Oracle Forms Using a Date Field and a Format Mask

Hello,
We are experiencing a problem with Oracle Forms that I was wondering if you can help me with.
We have several Forms that have single database blocks assigned to Oracle tables. The Forms are queryable and one of the fields we’re querying on is assigned to a field on the base table which is Not Null and has a Type of DATE. We are storing date/time information in this field on the database table. The item on the form is set up as a Date field with a Maximum Length of 7, a Format Mask ‘MMDDYY’ and having a Query Length of 10.
We’ve seen a discrepancy in how these fields are used to query the base table block. On some user’s computers they are able to enter a 6 digit date followed by the % sign (e.g. ‘091808%’) and they get the expected results. Other users get ‘FRM-40301: Query caused no records to be retrieved. Re-enter’. Do you know why we are experiencing this difference?
- The Oracle Database version we are running is Release 10.1.0.5.0.
- The Forms Developer version that we’re experiencing the problem with is 4.5.10.15.2
Thanks,
Kris

There is no obvious reason that I can see.
Version 4.5 is very old so you might have problems calling Oracle Support. If you can reproduce the same problem o0n 10.1.2 you should call have them analyze the problem.

How to convert a date field with format (dd,mm,yyyy) to format (mm,dd,yyyy)

Hello.
How to convert a date field with format (dd,mm,yyyy) to format (mm,dd,yyyy)
I have text field which has a databind to a date field. When I click on it, we can select the date, it is added on the format (dd,mm,yyyy). When I want to insert this date field to a database It doesnu2019t allow me to do it because it will only accept date field on the format (mm,dd,yyyy)
I tried to store this format on a date variable and I get a message saying that is impossible to convert a string into a date.
Regards,
Jose

Hi Jose,
usually you format strings in c# like
string.Format("{0:yyyyMMdd}", insertyourstring);
in your case
string.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}", insertyourstring);
[look here|http://idunno.org/archive/2004/14/01/122.aspx]
there are more details
if everything fails split the string with Mid()
or ask me

Hi there,
In your custom table, for the date field use the dataelement "STRMN",, that should automatically gives you the search help for the date.
let me know if you have further queries,

How to replace blank values in DATE field with 00000000

Hi
I have a DSO with Date field in which there are blank values. I want to replace the blank values in the DSO for date field with 00000000. Because of this blank values in the DSO the report is giving an ORA error.
How do we replace the blank values in the DSO for historical data and also the new loads?
Please advise.
Thank you.
Regards,
Pavan.

Hi Suman,
I'm trying to run a query built on a DSO. The DSO has a field 'Start Date'. This Start Date InfoObject has a reference Char as 0DATE.
This Start Field has blank values due to which I'm getting the ORA-01722 error. I came across many threads with same topic of discussion. As mentioned in one of the Threads I have written a program to update 'Start Date' with 00000000. The code wriiten is "UPDATE /BIC/AZ_MONINV00 SET /BIC/ZSTR_DTE = '00000000' where /BIC/ZSTR_DTE = ' '.
Now when I see the data in the active data table of DSO the blank value is replaced with '00000000'.
But If I right click on the DSO click on display data the 'Start Date' field is blank. And now the Query also gets executed without any error. But in the output of the query the 'Start Date' Field has "#" values.
Can anyone suggest on how to remove these "#" values in the report?

How to display date field in ALV in format 'YYYY-MM-DD'?

I am not getting displayed the date field in ALV in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD' if it is different than my user setting's format (DD.MM.YYYY).
Tried with the edit mask
LVC_S_FCAT-EDIT_MASK = '____-__-__' but it does not work.
I could not find the conversion routine for this. Is it possible to write customer conversion routine?
I have to use DATE field, otherwise if I display this format in CHAR10 field , sorting in ALV does not work for this field.

Formatted Search for Delivery Date field in SO not working

Hi All
Can anyone help me as to why my formatted search is not working?
I am currently using SAP B1A SP01 Patch 19.
I have created a user query as follows:
SELECT $ [$10.0.DATE] + 5
When I add this to the delivery field within the Sales Order and bring through the saved query which I set to auto refresh when the Posting Date field changes and to Display Saved Values it doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks and best wishes
Gail

HI Gail,
If I am not mistaken you want to add days to the posting date...if that is so then try this out:
SELECT $[ORDR.DocDate.DATE]+5 From ORDR T0 For Browse
Set The indicator to Auto Refresh when the fields change

Format of Date field is loading wrongly in the Infocube 0pp_c01.

Hi,
Format of Date field is loading wrongly in the Infocube 0pp_c01. But it is loading properly into PSA.
I am loading data into PP infocubes from the following DataSources.(they all are 3.x datasources)
1. 2LIS_04_P_MATNR
2. 2LIS_04_P_ARBPL
3. 2LIS_04_P_COMP
The data is coming properly upto PSA. For example Actual Start date is loaded in cube like 733.884.
And, it is the same issue with all the cubes. So I checked the update rules. But, in it the mapping is done properly.
Thanks $ Regards
Shyne Sasimohanan
+91-9632674245

Hi,
HEre also value is loaded correctly. The reason u are seeing it in this format is because it is mapped into a key figure in the info cube.
It will store the value as number of days from a standard date like 1/1/1000 or 1/1/1900 - not sure which one of these, u should be able to search and find the correct date in the forums..but this is the logic behind it
Hope it helps.

Error when saving a default format for a date field in 11g

Line:2, Col:608, Attribute 'displayTimeZone' is not declared for element 'dataFormat'
Thoughts and suggestions?

I have a Support Request open with Oracle right now (it's taking a few weeks to resolve) but here's the update:
OBIEE 10g handles DATE types differently than 11g. Both the support rep and I can't figure out how, but they are different. If you bring the column in as a DATETIME in your Physical Layer you can't save it system-wide, even if you do set a time zone for your account (My Account -> Preferences -> Time Zone). If you bring the column in as DATE you can save it system-wide but you can't display the hours/mins/secs, only the M/D/Y. This has been tested on a 9i and 10g database and produced the same thing on both. The problem never occurred with those same columns using OBIEE 10g.
Oracle support has not fully admitted this as a bug, but the rep working on this SR said this will probably be fixed in the next release- 11.1.1.4, which is due out late Jan/early Feb of this year. He is trying to reproduce this so he can log it as a bug (which we all are hoping for!) so Oracle can address it.
For now, I've found that you are stuck with two options: 1) bring the column in as a DATE, display it system-wide as a saved format, but you can't show the time, and 2) don't save that date value with a system-wide formatting and set it manually on every report you need a custom format (don't forget to set your time zone).
If I hear anything more back from Oracle support I'll update this thread.
Sorry guys, looks like we're all stranded on this one...

Date Field Formatting

Hi All,
I'm back already! Learning Flash is beginning to get to me
again so I returned for yet more help!
I've written the following AS code to get tomorrow's date . .
// Calculates today's date and tomorrow's date
var dToday:Date = new Date();
dToday.getDate()
trace("today: " + dToday) //today's date
myD = dToday.getDate() + 100; // plus one day
var dTomorrow:Date = new Date();
dTomorrow.setDate(myD)
trace("new: " + dTomorrow) //tomorrow's date
var strDate:String = new String();
var strDate = String(dTomorrow);
trace("String: " + strDate);
The strDate string returns the following value . . . "Tue Jul
11 16:19:57 GMT+0100 2006".
That is all well and good but I want to convert it into the
following format for comparison with another field . . .
"200607111619" which is basically the same value in the following
format . . . "yyyymmddhhmm".
Does the only way of doing this involve using parsing logic
to break down the original string and then reconstruct it in the
required format using variables from the broken down original
string?
I have tried looking at the Date Field object notes in my
book but it does not give me anything as regards this programming
requirement. The only thing I can find that might suit this purpose
is string parsing logic. Am I right or is there an easier way to
set a date field format?
Any help would as always be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Kevin.

I'm working on an application which requires a valid Voucher
Number to proceed. The Voucher number is based on a combination of
'date/time/no of items' (e.g. 20060711095802 which is today at
09:58 (on a 24 hr clock) for 2 (02) items).
As this date this date/time Voucher Number logic is
essentially sequential, in that each subsequent Voucher Number will
be greater than the last good known Voucher Number entered into the
application (which is already stored in a variable field for
comparison). But it must also be less than tomorrow's date, for
which the Voucher Number would always be tomorrow's date (e.g.
20060712 at 00:00 hrs for 00 items, thus giving 20060712000000).
This is the value that I'm trying to ascertain from the date field
logic.
It would thus be really handy for comparison if I could just
format tomorrow's date and time in the format yyyymmddhhmm and just
add '00' to the end of the string.
I don't like the idea of using the milliseconds value as it
will be necessary then to convert the Voucher Number entered to a
date field for comparison.

Formatting a date field auto populated with Javascript

I have a date field, which I auto-populate to be the current days date with the following code:
var date=new Date();
var month=date.getMonth()+1;
this.rawValue=month+"/"+date.getDate()+"/"+(date.getYear()-100);
This works fine, but it comes out as 7/20/12 instead of 07/20/2012 like my pattern defines.
Whether or not I write my code to be the correct format, I always get an "Invalid format" error. How can I fix this?

The solutions is to format the date in YYYY-MM-DD when setting the raw value.
var date=new Date();
var month=date.getMonth()+1;
var day=date.getDate();
if(month<10){ month="0"+month; }
if(day<10) {day="0"+day; }
this.rawValue=date.getFullYear()+"-"+month+"-"+day;

Date field conversion in Import Manager

Hi,
I am getting the source Date field as 'Text' type and want to convert it to Date type.
Is it possible in import Manager?
What are the best way to manage the issue.
Appreciate your reply
regards,
reo

Hi Reo,
The data types of source data values are automatically
converted within the Source Values grid based on the data type of the
destination field to which the source field is mapped, even when stored
in the source data as text values.
Original source values appear with their original data type in the Value
column, and the converted values appear in the Converted Value
column with the data type of the mapped destination field and the
proper grid cell type for editing (e.g. text, numeric, measurement,
currency, date, time, Boolean).<i> If necessary, individual values can then
be manually edited to override errors or omissions in the source data.</i>

Neethu Joy.
