Date Format changes in the Reporting side..

Hi friends,
I have one date field that is Keyfigure (not a Time charecterstic) ...now i want to display date in DD- MON - YYYY format... but up to modelling side my date format is DD.MM.YYYY.....
i dont want to change in modelling side.. because.. this required format is needed only for some querys ...
so, can any one suggest me is there any chance to get the date format in the reporting side like this..(27-JAN-2007) ..
helpful answers will be appriciated..
Thanks
Babu

Hi Babu,
If the format is required in the Bex analyser then its system dependent setting .
Control panel - > Regional & language options -> Regional options -> Customize -> Date -> Short Date format -> DD-MMM-YYYY(Change) .
Do not forget to log off and re-login into bex,execute queries and see the output.
Hope that helps.

Date format changes in the middle of a program execution

In my C code I have a series of select statements.
When I first get a session to the database I use the following command to set the date format
alter session set nls_date_format = 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'
It works fine for a few queries. After a while during the program execution I see that the date format changes to 'DD-MON-YY' format. This results in a series of error in my code because I expect the date format to always be in the 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS' format.
Any idea why the date format should change all of a sudden in the middle of the program execution.

I second the idea that you should always use TO_DATE and TO_CHAR if you want to reliably convert between dates and strings.
Without seeing your code, it is hard to say why your date format is changing, but the most likely reason is that you are changing users somewhere in the code. For example:
SQL> show user
USER is "OPS$ORACLE"
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-JUL-2003
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_format='dd-Mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss';
Session altered.
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-Jul-2003 10:15:12
SQL> connect jtest/test
Connected.
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-JUL-2003TTFN

Persistent prompt date format changes when reopening report in Webi

Hi all
I have a PERISTENT prompt that asks for a date when you run the report. The format is "MM/dd/yyyy". I also have a variable that displays this value in the form:
=ToDate(UserResponse([Query 1];"Please enter date:");"MM/dd/yyyy")
When the report is run the prompt works and you select the date from the calendar and all works fine. You can refresh the report and keep the persistent date prompt value if you like. Great.
The problem comes when the report is saved and then reopened for modifying.
On my report I get #ERROR associated with the above variable. This is because the peristent value in the prompt has been "re-loaded" in the format "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a".
The only way I have found to resolve this is to refresh the report and reselect a date which makes the persistent prompt kind of useless if you close the report.
Any suggestions on solving this would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sharon

Sharon,
The problem comes when the report is saved and then reopened for modifying.
When opening the report in something other than modify, does the problem also occur? I too have noticed different behavior with persistent date prompts and whether running in modify or Infoview modes. Most deployments do not give their users the ability to run a public report in modify mode (though, possibly they could copy it to their own Favorites and run it in modify mode there). So perhaps this "problem" is by design and is resolved by running the report in the more common Infoview mode?
Thanks,
John

Try putting
SRW.DO_SQL('alter session set NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS='', ''');
in the Before Report Trigger.
The setting might be reused for the next report if Reports is set to reuse the database connection.
To avoid this, I guess you change it back to default in the After Report Trigger.
Hope this helps!

Data format changing from database to datagridview

hi I am trying to display data from database sqlite to datagridview the data format changed automatically
the date in database is
2012-02-20 16:42:10.00 but on datagrid view it appears like 20/02/2012 16:42:10,
swOut.Write(",");
swOut.Write(dataGridView1.Columns[i].HeaderText);
swOut.WriteLine();
//write DataGridView rows to csv
for (int j = 0; j <= dataGridView1.Rows.Count - 1; j++)
if (j > 0)
swOut.WriteLine();
dr = dataGridView1.Rows[j];
for (int i = 0; i <= dataGridView1.Columns.Count - 1; i++)
if (i > 0)
swOut.Write(",");
value = dr.Cells[i].Value.ToString();
//replace comma's with spaces
value = value.Replace(',', ' ');
//replace embedded newlines with spaces
value = value.Replace(Environment.NewLine, " ");
swOut.Write(value);

This forum is for Microsoft products, they have already and endless quantity of databases, many even freeware.
Try therefore for your question the forums for SQLite.

Hi,
In a webdynpro applicaiton, how to chage the Date Format according to the Locale/Country of Portal User.
Consider for INDIA: mm/dd/yyyy
Consider for UK: yyyy/mm/dd
So when i select the date from the Date Picker[input ui element bound to date context variable], the date format should be displayed accroding the portal users country/locale.
Creating a simple type for every date format in the dictionary would not be the right solution.

Is there a way to create a variable referenced to a prompt on the report side?

Post Author: Martensa
CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
First I am querying current and prior year on the query builder by two prompts that are asking for the current and prior year. Then I am creating a variable on the report side that pulls the current year into one column and prior year into another column. (I.e. =(revenue) where (year = 2006)). Is it possible the have the year part of the formula to be referenced to a prompt? (I.e.=(revenue) where (prompt= 1))?
If anyone could give me an answer it would me much appreciated.
Thanks

Post Author: [email protected]
CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
Martensa,
Create a variable "Prior Year" =UserResponse("Revenue" , "Prior Year")
Create another variable "Current Year" =UserResponse("Revenue" , "Current Year")
This assumes that "Revenue" is the data provider name and your Prompts are "Prior Year" and "Current Year".

Date format changed (since SP8?)

Applied SP8 lately on a server. I guess since then the date format changed.
It is now April 18, 2011,
and it should be 18 April, 2011.
I am not sure if this is because applying SP8, but what is for sure that the date format is not what we used to.
Checked time zone. Regarding to `set time zone` it is proper (CET-1CEST).
Please advise.

Hi Marcel,
Thanks for the fast reply. I will give it a try probably.
I am still wondering what could have changed the date format.

In any case, the date format on the server console is controlled by the file lconfig.sys copied to the server's c:\nwserver directory at installation time.
The following TID tells you how you can replace this file.
Note that the TID refers to changing the code page. In your case, it is not the code page you want to change, but the country code which corresponds to the date format you want to display

Passing values to subreport in SSRS throwing an error - Data Retrieval failed for the report, please check the log for more details.

Hi,
I have the subreport calling from the main report. The subreport is based on MDX query agianst the SSAS cube. some dimensions in cube has values 0 and 1.
when I try to pass '0' to the sub report as the parameter value, it gives an error "Data Retrieval failed for the report, please check the log for more details".
Actually I am using table for storing these parameter values. In the main report I am calling this table (dataset) and passing these values to subreport.
so I have given like [0],[1] and this works fine. when I give only either [0] or [1] then it is throwing an error.
Could you please advise on this.
Appreciate all and any help.
Thanks,
Divya

Hi Divya,
Based on the current description, I understand that there is no issue if you pass two values from main report to subreport, while the issue occurs when passing one value to subreport.
To narrow down the issue, I want to confirm whether the subreport can run if there is only [0] or [1] in the subreport. If so, it indicates the query statements exist error in the subreport. If it’s not the case, this shows the issue occurs during passing
values from main report to subreport. To make further analysis, please post the details of query statements of the subreport to the forum.
