(23/09/08) till PSA.In PSA it is showing 08.0/.06/9.
Please suggest me the right way.It is very impartant for us.

Hi Guys,
I understand that this leads to degrade the loading
Performance.But I don't have the alternative.
When I use the RSDAT in data source conversion routine it is
throughing the below error.
"Error 'Date .30.0806 contains invalid characters...' at conversion exit CONVERSION_EXIT_RSDAT_INPUT (field CALDAY record 1, value 6/30/08)"
Can any body suggest me the other way or any other date
converion routine from 23/09/08 to YYYYMMDD without slash?
Thanks
Prasad

Could you please provide inputs as to how to handle two condition :
1. With date -- then transform
2.Else , pass nothing

Hi Varalakshmi,
Plese try to use UDF for date conversion and include logic which would check the Space value from the source structure.
so if there is space return as such
else.
perform the conversion logic.

Convertinf Date format from YYYY-MM-DD to MMDDYYYY

Hi Experts,
I want to convert date format from yyyy-MM-dd to MMDDYYYY ( i am using this format in the file strucure),
i tryed using date tranfer funcion source as yyyy-MM-dd and target as yyyyMMdd this is working fine.
i tryed using date tranfer funcion source as yyyy-MM-dd and target as MMddyyyy this is giving error.
Please help me out,
Thanks,
Dhanush

Hi,
From the error it looks like the date value is coming as blank in the source. please give the date in the same format as you have provided in datetrans function and test it again. It will work.
It might be possible that there are some other date fields in your source where you are not passing any value and using datefunction. please look carefully at all the source structure and data.

Converting date format from in mapping

Hi,
if I understood you correctly you want to transform from ddMMyyyy (your format in the external file) to yyyyMMdd (format of ABAP datatype DATS):
Then all you need to do is to use the standard function TransformDate (as already described above).
Enter in the field "Format of source Date": ddMMyyyy
Enter in the field "Target Format": yyyyMMdd
That's it.

Hi,
You can get it from "User" or "Shop" business object.
Try to get User or Shop Business Object as shown below.
BusinessObjectManager bom = (BusinessObjectManager) userSessionData.getBOM(BusinessObjectManager.ISACORE_BOM);
User user = bom.getUser();
char decimalNotation = user.getDecimalPointFormat().getGroupingSeparator();
If you are seeing "1,234.00" then above code will return "."
I hope this information help you to resolve your issue.

Change display Date format from 06.2011 to june 2011 in output of Query

Hi All,
Change display Date format from 06.2011 to june 2011 in output of Query Execution. i used time charcteristics 0calmonth in query, output display is coming 06.2011, i want to display output in june 2011 format, anyone tell me how to convert this Date format.

Hi Nandish,
as tibollo said you just need to mark 0CALMONTH with text in RSD1.
Kindly note that you don't need to do data load for this object.
It will automatically derive by system.
Just change the Info object 0CALMONTH in RSD1, Go to Master Data/text column and check mark on with text.
Then activate it.

Change the date format from mm/dd to dd/mm

Is there any way to change the date format? Currently, my today screen, calendar app, etc is set to display dates as mm/dd. I'd like to change it to the UK format (dd/mm) but I have not been able to find a single method that works. I've tried themes as some have recommended but once I install them, it's still showing mm/dd.
I'm not unfamiliar with upgrading the OS and "slimming" it down, so even a method that requires me to remove US resource files will be okay.
Frankly I'm disappointed RIM doesn't provide users with a "Regional Settings" type option like in Windows to change the date format.
Any advice would be most appriciated.

Yes you can change Date format from mm/dd to dd/mm its done automatically by " Display language " selected :
Go to Menu : Setup - choose - Language and Input Methods - look for " Display Language" there is a small window with down arrow , click the down arrow and , change from " English" to " English (UK) "for DD / MM ,date format , or change to " English (US) " for MM / DD date format.
Hope this help .

Problem with date format from Oracle DB

Hi,
I am facing a problem with date fields from Oracle DB sources. The date format of the field in DB table is 'Date base type is DATE and DDIC type is DATS'.
I mapped the date fields to Date characters in BI. Now the data that comes to PSA is in weird format. It shows like -0.PR.09-A
I have changing the field settings in DataSource to internal and external and also i have tried mapping these date fields to text fields with out luck. All delivers the same format.
I have also tried using conversion routines like, CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_INPUT to change format. It also delivers me the same old result.
If anybody of you have any suggestions or if anybody have you experienced such probelms, Please share your experience with me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Varada

Thanks for all your reply. I can only the solutions creating view in database. I want some solution to be done in BI. I appreciate if some of you have idea in it.
The issue again in detail
I am facing an issue with date fields from oracle data. The data that is sent from Oracle is in the format is -0.AR.04-M. I am able to convert this date in BI with conversion routine in BI into format 04-MAR-0.
The problem is, I am getting data of length 10 (Output format) in the format -0.AR.04-M where the month is not in numericals. Since it is in text it is taking one character spacing more.
I have tried in different ways to convert and increased the length in BI, the result is same. I am wondering if we can change the date format in database.
I am in puzzle with the this date format. I have checked other Oracle DB connections data for date fields in BI, they get data in the format 20.081.031 which will allow to convert this in BI. Only from the system i am trying creating a problem.

List View does not retain date formats from Excel

i am using List View control to isplay data. When i scroll the horizontal bar inlist view, the date format changes to numbers. is there were to stop this happening.
regards
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
Are you getting the values from any live connection or is it static data from the excel file?
You can also try to goto properties of component and in the appearence tab,select the format of the values as "DATE".
Incase you are getting the values from the live connection, you can select a different cell which would reference to the data coming from the connection and use it into the components.
e.g.: if values are coming in cell"A1" then goto some empty cell as B1 and type in"=A1" and use this new cell into the component.
Let me know if this works.
Thanks,
Amit.

Date Format from YYYYMMDDhhmmss to dd-MMM-yy

Hi All,
I have a problem with the Date Format.
The out of the BAPI date format is like YYYYMMDDhhmmss and the output value is like 20,070,831,235,959. Now I want insert the date in to my Oracle database like dd-MM-yy.
Here is my xmlformat
datefromxmlformat(datetoxmlformat(Repeater_0.Output{/item/PERIOD_END},"yyyy-MM-dd
HH:mm:ss"),"dd-MMM-yy")
Can any one please correct this issue.
Thanks
Muvva

Hi Muvva,
If you want to convert a date from "yyyyMMddhhmmss' to 'dd-MM-yy' format, you may use the dateformat function. For example, the below will give you the result 30-08-08
dateformat("20080830121110","yyyyMMddhhmmss","dd-MM-yy")
In your case,
dateformat(Repeater_0.Output{/item/PERIOD_END},"yyyyMMddhhmmss","dd-MM-yy")
"dd-MMM-yy" will give you the result as "08-Aug-08", if you are looking for that format.
