Date Field validation in APEX 4.0

Hi,
I am using APEX 4.0 for developing my application. I have an SEARCH region in which I have an DATE item with format MM/DD/YYYY. When I enter the date with any junk characters like 'XXXXXXX' then it throws me an validation as "Invalid Date Format" message both in Notification and Inline (Below date Item). This is an APEX 4.0 inbuilt validation for date field and its not the validation created by me in that page explicitly.
My Issue is that I do not want to Display the validation message inline to the field and I need the message only in Notification. What setting I need to do in Date Item to remove the inline validation message form that field.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
In your validation process, under the error message section
(i.e) in the error message display location: set inline in notification give this,
so that the notification will be fired only in message, not inline to the field.

What are the usual date field validations

Hi all,
can you please tell me what are the usual date field validations in selection Screen
Thanks and regards ,
Madhavi pilla

Once you declare it as TYPE SY-DATUM, usually that is enough. Sometimes we will also check that it is not less than '18000101' or greater than '99991231'. Or if you have a specific date range that applies to your program you could check the field contents against that. I hope this helps.

Need to Programmatically Set IRR Filter on Date Field Due to APEX 4.1 Bug

There may be another work around but, here is the problem that we are encountering...
We have a huge table that is partitioned on a DATE field and an IRR that reports on this table. By default, we want to show the most recent 3 days of data. There is a built-in filter for "is in the last 3 Days." Sounds Great! Unfortunately APEX generates the code using TIMESTAMP rather than DATE functions. As a result of this, the query does not perform partition pruning and, as a consequence, it is doing a full table scan which takes forever. Note the use of the "LOCALTIMESTAMP" function in the query that is generated by APEX for this filter:
SELECT   "BUSINESS_DATE",
         COUNT ( * ) OVER () AS apxws_row_cnt
FROM   (SELECT   *
            FROM   (SELECT   *
                      FROM   position_delta_his p) r
           WHERE   ("BUSINESS_DATE" BETWEEN *LOCALTIMESTAMP*
                                            - NUMTOYMINTERVAL (:APXWS_EXPR_1,
                                                               'year')
                                        AND *LOCALTIMESTAMP*)) r
WHERE   ROWNUM <= TO_NUMBER (:APXWS_MAX_ROW_CNT)If, instead, APEX used the SYSDATE function, as the underlying column is a DATE, this returns instantly, after partition pruning.
SELECT   "BUSINESS_DATE",
         COUNT ( * ) OVER () AS apxws_row_cnt
FROM   (SELECT   *
            FROM   (SELECT   *
                      FROM   position_delta_his p) r
           WHERE   ("BUSINESS_DATE" BETWEEN *SYSDATE*
                                            - NUMTOYMINTERVAL (:APXWS_EXPR_1,
                                                               'year')
                                        AND *SYSDATE*)) r
WHERE   ROWNUM <= TO_NUMBER (:APXWS_MAX_ROW_CNT)
The bug is that APEX should base the underlying function on the data type of the filtered column.
As a work around, if we create a filter where BUSINESS_DATE >= '4/13/2012' (three business days ago), again, this returns instantaneously. The issue is that we can only set this filter by using the APEX GUI. We need to be able to:
1. Determine the date for 3 business days ago
2. Set this as the default filter.
I tried creating a BEFORE HEADER PL/SQL page process but, it does not appear to be having any effect. Here is that code:
DECLARE
    ldt_Filter DATE;
    CURSOR lcsr_GetMaxBusinessDate IS
        SELECT Max(BUSINESS_DATE)
        FROM POSITION_DELTA_HIS;
    DAYS_AGO CONSTANT NUMBER := 3;
BEGIN
    APEX_UTIL.IR_CLEAR( :APP_PAGE_ID );
    OPEN lcsr_GetMaxBusinessDate;
    FETCH lcsr_GetMaxBusinessDate INTO ldt_Filter;
    CLOSE lcsr_GetMaxBusinessDate;
    ldt_Filter := ( Trunc( ldt_Filter ) - 3 );
    APEX_UTIL.IR_FILTER( p_page_id       => :APP_PAGE_ID,
                         p_report_column => 'BUSINESS_DATE',
                         p_operator_abbr =>'GTE',
                         p_filter_value => TO_CHAR( ldt_Filter, 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS' ) );
END;Can anyone tell me:
1. How to set this filter programmatically (also needs to be displayed on the page so the user can see the current filter...as if it were created via the GUI) ***OR***
2. Some other work around for this issue..
Thanks,
-Joe

Actually, now that I look further, I don't think it is going to work to simply set the filter programmatically. The end user can still click the column heading where they are only given the choice of the LOCALTIMESTAMP based filters. If they pick one, the page is going to be out to lunch for them.
We really need some other fix. We really need a way to actually address the underlying issue.

Date field validation

I have a date field on my form call order_date. I had used the application validation process against this item, and when the query button on this page is press, the will bw erroron the page against the item field. I had to delete the validation and write a javascript validation for the iitem thus:
<scripttype="text/javascript">

</script)
But it is not working at all upon inserting data into the the field later than today's date.
Please how can this work. Help.
Thank you.

Greetings,
First of all you got two errors in the script tags.
<script type="text/javascript"> and not <scripttype="text/javascript">
</script> and not </script)
I recomend you using firebug to detect things like these.
Because without proper sintaxe you may be lost for hours trying to repair what is already correct!
Second recording a variable with a date isn't enough, you must cast it to date or else it won't know it is a date.
you can do so like this:
x = '2009/12/23';
x = new Date(x);
Now x contains a valid date in javascript so you can compare it.
You should however use apropriate formats as the complete date string is probably not what you want,
an example of a complete date:
Thu May 07 2009 16:37:09 GMT+0100
For more insights on date formats check this page:
http://programming.top54u.com/post/Javascript-Convert-String-to-Date.aspx
Here is working code for you with the complete date because i am unaware of what you need as a format!
     <script type="text/javascript">
     
     </script>

Mandatory date field validation different if using a custom form... why?

We are using SharePoint 2013 and have a custom list in which one of the fields is a mandatory date/time field. When using the default "New" form, if I don't add any date and click the Save button, the form looks like it is submitted and then
comes back with some red text indicating that I need a value for my date/time field. If I simply create a new custom "New" form, and then click on the Save button without adding my date/time value, I get a black (not red) validation error.
A couple things are going on here. The error is displayed BEFORE any submit happens, unlike when using the default New form. The validation message is different and is listed in black rather than red. For other mandatory fields, the form
does get submitted and then displays the validation error in red, although it is a different validation error message than when using the default New form.
I don't care that the text is different, but it is an issue for us that the text is not in red. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks - Peter

Hi Peter,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to the alert message is red in the custom New form.
Please open the custom New from in SharePoint web site, and save without type anything in the data field, then the alert message(black) displays. Click on F12 to open IE developer debug tool, click on the arrow , then click on the black message to find the
HTML element id for the message, in my test, the id is ctl00_ctl42_g_fed984e8_446c_4fdb_a279_328c2c369be5_ff21_ctl00_ctl00_DateTimeField_ctl00 .
Then click on Settings->Edit page, add a Content Edit web part to the custom New form page, edit the web part and add the following code into the Edit Source of the web part:
<style type="text/css">
#ctl00_ctl42_g_fed984e8_446c_4fdb_a279_328c2c369be5_ff21_ctl00_ctl00_DateTimeField_ctl00{
color:#FF0000;
</style>
If you have multiple mandatory fields, you need to find each id for each field alert message, add #id{…}
into <style …> </style> section.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Date field valid possibilities

I am trying to create a date field and have a calendar date picker to pick the date. How do I define the field to get the calendar date picker?
I see where to put in a default value where I can create a query to select a date (select to_char(sysdate +1, 'DD-MON-YY') from dual).
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Nandita,
Dear Nandita,
The dates are just stored as "inverted dates"
This is even implemented as pure ABAP statements:
CONVERT date to inverted date ... and
CONVERT inverted date to date.
See the documentation on these keywords. It is just the 9er complement of the real date, example from your question ( 80039898):
99999999
-19960101
80039898 => value for GDATU.
Please assign points if it useful.

Javascript for multiple date fields

Hi all-
I have to write javascript for 15 different date fields in a form.
The requirement here is that we convert all date fields on Page 100 from date pickers (editable date fields) to display-only date fields with two controls for the users to set the date.
If the field is empty (no date registered yet), there will be a green checkmark(X). When the user clicks this checkmark, the current date is entered into the field.
If the field is not empty (there is a date already in the system), there will be a red X. When the user click this red X, the date from the date field is removed.
The javascript I am using here is
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
     function init(){
          var datePickerVal = $v2('P100_TODAYS_DATE');
          if(datePickerVal){
               $x_Show('ToggleDateR');
               $x_Hide('ToggleDateG');
          }else{
               $x_Hide('ToggleDateR');
               $x_Show('ToggleDateG');
     function toggleDateFunc(pValue){
          var sysDate = $v2('P100_DATE');
          if(pValue == 'R'){
               $x_Hide('ToggleDateR');
               $x_Show('ToggleDateG');
               $x_Value('P100_TODAYS_DATE','');
          }else if(pValue == 'G'){
               $x_Show('ToggleDateR');
               $x_Hide('ToggleDateG');
               $x_Value('P100_TODAYS_DATE',sysDate);
     window.onload = init;
</script>
This javascript is working for one date field( 'P100_TODAYS_DATE') but i have 15 different date fields in this page(100) all should have same funtionality. Please help me out how to write a logic to use this function for all the date fields.
Thanks,(apex 3.2)

Hi,
You can do the needful by re-using the code if you can give the item names as P8_DATE1, P8_DATE_hh1, P8_DATE2, P8_DATEhh2 etc..So your item name just differs by a sequence.
Now you write function which will return desired date value taking above items as input. Pass item names to this function, get session state using APEX_UTIL.GET_SESSION_STATE('item_name') API.
Now modify you code as
FOR i IN 1..30
LOOP
v_date_array[i] = f_get_date('P8_DATE'||i, 'P8_DATEhh'||i);
END LOOP;
....Now you have all date valus in array. Just write one update as follows
UPDATE TABLE1
SET date1 = my_date_array[1], date2 = my_date_array[2]..
WHERE ....Hope it helps :)

Creating process for multiple Date fields for update or insert in APEX

hello there,
could someone please help me?
i have a form on Apex based on view that is based on three tables and updating and inserting ok using trigger instead of.
i have a problem now as in my form i have around 75 fileds (items) incuding 30 or more date fields which could be populated or left blank or update later.
so for each date field i have two boxs; one for date, input as dd/mm/yyyy (text field) and second for time, input as 23:45. All dates will be insert or update manually by user. so as i mentioned not all date fields could be poulated at one stage.
so i have created some process and validations and all of them work fine but i came accross if date left blank then (:) giving me problem so i have done following further process for each date field. In real table all the date fields have data type date.
declare
v_my_var date; -- for first date field
str_dy VARCHAR2(10);
dt_indx date;
str_tm VARCHAR2(20);
tm_indx date;
begin
str_dy := :p4_first_date
str_tm := str_dy||' '||substr(:p8_first_date_hh,1,2)||':'||substr(:p8_first_date_HH,4,2);
dt_indx := to_date(str_tm,'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI');
IF str_dy is not null then
v_my_var :=dt_indx;
ELSE
v_my_var := NULL;
END IF;
update table 1 set my_date = v_my_var where d_id= :p4_d_id;
end;
above code work fine but one date field of course therefore i have to do same code for each date field with changes and initialise variable again and again for each field.
so i like to ask is there any easy way that is more professional. i was thinking about the procedure and using collection or similar but honestly not much experience on that so could some one please help me?
I will be very thankful.

myRoot.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field97", NamespaceManager).SetValue(objInfopathFormcData.myRecievedDate);
[/CODE]
I am getting the error as "Schema validation found non-data type errors".
How to set the value for a date field in Infopath.
Thank you

HI,
I fixed it:

Adf validation date field timestamp

while doing some validation of comparing date fields with timestamp fields i am finding inconsistent behavior in jdev 11 1 1 5. is this known issue. what is best way to do EO level declarative Compare Greater Than / Less Than validations on fields which are of type date and timestamp ?

First of all, "ADF" on the view side (which is where UIX is) has undergone some dramatic changes.
10.1.2 and before: you had UIX
10.1.3.x: ADF Faces 10g
11.x: ADF Faces 11g (which, although is JSF like ADF Faces 10g, the component set is so different as to be almost a "new thing")
So, when you're asking about the view technologies, 10.1.2, 10.1.3, and 11.x are dramatically different. ADF Business Components, even though they have gone through changes, are "the same enough" across the versions as to be understandably similar, but not the view technologies.

Validating a Date field in ADF which only contains a time

Hi,
I'm having problems in JDeveloper 10121 validating a "time" field in a jsp.
* I have this field: <html:text property="InterviewTime" size="4" maxlength="4" />
which is a date. I want the user to enter a date in 24 hour format. I.e. 0000 to 2400.
* In my view object the interview time has a format of Simple Date (kkmm).
* In the entity object this is a date column.
If I submit with a valid date then it's fine. However if for example I enter 3333 and save I get a date parse error. The problem is where do I handle this?
I added validation to the entity object but this only gets called when the date is valid (I imagine it is further on in the lifecycle?)
I also added some regex to the onCommit method but again this gets called later in the lifecycle.
Can anybody help?
Thanks,
Andy

Frank,
I can't use ADF Faces as I'm using 1012.
I have a method validation on the entity object as shown below:
public boolean validateInterviewTime()
Date interviewTime = getInterviewTime();
if ( interviewTime != null )
LOG.info("Testing");
SimpleDateFormat sd = new SimpleDateFormat("kkmm");
String interviewTimeString = sd.format( getInterviewTime().getValue() );
LOG.info("interviewTimeString"+interviewTimeString);
if ( !Pattern.matches( "((0?[0-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-3])[0-5][0-9])", interviewTimeString ) )
LOG.info("BAD");
return false;
else
return true;
However if the interview time is outside the range anyway (i.e. not between 0000 and 2359) then it will not even get as far as validating it as I get an invalid date exception called?
So I need to catch it somewhere else.
