Date field in DD.MM.YYYY format printing as MM.DD.YYYY

HI all,
There is a DATE field FKDAT in an invoice whose value is in DD.MM.YYYY format (01.07.2010).
In the print program, this value is being passed into a CHAR field. However, when it gets printed it prints in MM.DD.YYYY format (07.01.2010).
I have already checked the user settings under Own Data and it is in the DD.MM.YYYY format.
Please advise.
Thanks and regards,
Anishur

Hi ,
In the invoice printing program you should use 'WRITE' syntax which will write the date as per user's date format.
e.g write it_tab-fkdat to gv_date.
Declare gv_date as character 10.

Formating Invoice Date field to display in Japanese format 2012年2月22日

Hi ,
I need expert help in Crystal reports for formatting a field which contains date in Japanese format.
I need to develop a Japan report that has invoice date as 2012年2月22日 which means 22-Feb-2012.
Thanks,

Thanks.. you saved my time.
I have found the solution for this issue
totext(year({shiphead.ShipDate}),0) & '年' & totext(month({shiphead.ShipDate}),0) & '月' & totext(day({shiphead.ShipDate}),0) & '日'
However your solution looks good. Short and sweet.
totext({shiphead.ShipDate}, 'yyyy年MM月dd日')

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

Hi experts,
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.
PLEASE ANY HELP!
Kind regards,

HTML DB Validate date field

I create a nondatabase date field (date picker (MM/DD/YYYY) and format mat as MM/DD/YYYY. I want to validate this date field to make sure the entry is valid. mm/DD/YYYY.
I create a validation for the field, but it did not display the error message in the validation, instead it complains that the character is in numeric field with an OK button.
Why?
Is there a Is_date function around?

There are 2 ways to do this
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:239
1. Put readonly="true" in the Form Element attributes for the date picker item. This way the user is forced to select from the date picker calendar and so invalid dates cannot be entered.
2. If user wants to enter the date or select from the calendar, put a validation as Function body returning error text as in http://i1.tinypic.com/rlgi68.jpg
Hope this helps.

How to print date in dd/MM/yyyy format??

Hi All,
I want to print a date in a dd/MM/yyyy format. I am doing like this
Date d = new Date(23-11-2006); but it is printing
like Wed Dec 31 18:59:58 EST 1969 .
Please help me .

I am doing like this
Date d = new Date(23-11-2006); but it is
printing No you're not, because that won't compile. Show us exactly what you're doing and we might be able to help.
You seem to suggest you want to print a date in a certain format, but then the (pseudo-) code you present seems to suggest you want to be able to parse a date from a given format into a Date object.
Be clear and specific about exactly what you want, what you have tried, and why it didn't work and then people will be better placed to help! :-)

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

Browser date field format in header

I am using Browser 2.0 for some ad hoc queries on an Oracle
7.2.3 database.
My client is running Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4.
Regional settings are set to English (Australia).
The page setup in Browser allows you in the header or footer to
insert the a date field via "&d". Documentation states this is
system generated.
However, in the print preview and print out the date is
formatted as MM/DD/YY. I need to have it formatted as DD-MON-
YYYY.
Can anyone suggest to me from which system the format is being
generated or any
suggestions on how to change it in.
Thanks
null

can you paste the timestamp being displayed?
You can use, format-date function or other, but its all based on the data you have for DATE.

Determine Date field format dynamically

Hello friends,
I'm writing some database access code in java. The biggest problem I face is date fields. Because I don't know the date field format (For example, in SQL Sever we can have dd/mm/yy or mm/dd/yy, etc), I can't format dates for insert/update statements.
Is there a way to determine the date field format dynamically? Regardless of database, for ex. MS SQL, Oracle?
Thank you.

Hey!
There is a way to do this! The Oracle Database understands SQL92 Syntax. So you can use
- {d ?yyyy-mm-dd?} for date representation,
- {t ?hh:mm:ss?} for time representation,
- {ts ?yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.f...?} for timestamp rep.
Here is a small example:
// Connect to the database
// You can put a database name after the @ sign in the connection URL.
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:oracle:oci8:@", "scott", "tiger");
// Create a Statement
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement ();
// Select the ename column from the emp table where the hiredate is Jan-23-1982
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery
("SELECT ename FROM emp WHERE hiredate = {d ?1982-01-23?}");
// Iterate through the result and print the employee names
while (rset.next ())
System.out.println (rset.getString (1));I hope this is what you wanted to know!

How to handle Multiple date formats for the same date field in SQL*Loader

Dear All,
I got a requirement where I need to get data from a text file and insert the same into oracle table.
I am using SQL*Loader to populate the data from the text file into my table.
The file has one field where I am expecting date date data in multiple formats, like dd/mon/yyyy, yyyy/dd/mon, yyyy/mon/dd, ,mm/dd/yyyy, mon/dd/yyyy.
While using SQL*Loader, I can see Loading is failing for records where we have formats like yyyy/dd/mon, yyyy/mon/dd, mon/dd/yyyy.
Is there any way in SQL*Loader where we can mention all these date formats so that this date data should go smoothly into the underlying date column in the table.
Appreciate your response on this.
Thanks,
Madhu K.

The point being made was, are you sure that you can uniquely identify a date format from the value you receieve? Are you sure that the data stored is only of a particular limited set of formats?
e.g. if you had a value of '07/08/03' how do you know what format that is?
It could be...
7th August 2003 (thus assuming it's DD/MM/RR format)
or
8th July 2003 (thus assuming it's MM/DD/RR format)
or
3rd August 2007 (thus assuming it's RR/MM/DD format)
or
8th March 2007 (thus assuming it's RR/DD/MM format)
or even more obscurely...
3rd July 2008 (MM/RR/DD)
or
7th March 2008 (DD/RR/MM)
Do you have any information to tell you what formats are valid that would allow you to be specific and know what date format is meant?
This is a classic example of why dates should be stored on the database using DATE datatype and not VARCHAR2. It can lead to corruption of data, especially if the date can be entered in any format a user wishes.

How To change the Date display format to dd.mm.yyyy format

Hello friends
I am expected to display the date fields in my BEx reports in the standard dd/mm/yy format. However, I find that it is getting displayed in mm/dd/yyyy form.

Hence can someone please let me know, if I can make any change to the way the date is displayed in the reports.
Looking for a prompt reply
Thanks in advance

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...
