Thank you for your response Yangster.
However, the below formula did not work, it gives me a message that "this field name is not known" {?end_date}.
date_field in dateadd("d", -100, {?end_date}) to {?end_date}
Am I not inputing this right? or do need a different formula/method?
Please help...
Thank you,

Date Formatting in a Result Field: Crystal Reports 2008

I'm modifying a report at runtime in c# .Net using Crystal Reports 2008.
I'm having trouble modifying a date fields format. I have accessed the DateFieldFormat object, and modified the properties, but only the SystemDefaultType property seems to have any affect.
If the Date format is set in the Visual Report Designer I can see the details of the format in DateFieldObject, but editing these values doesn't have any affect on the report once displayed.
Here is a sample of the code i'm using:
public Form1()
     InitializeComponent();
     CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument reportDocument = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
     ISCDReportClientDocument reportClientDocument;
     // Load Report
     reportDocument.Load(@"C:\myReport.rpt");
     reportClientDocument = reportDocument.ReportClientDocument;
     // Access Field
     FieldObject fieldObject = (FieldObject)reportClientDocument.ReportDefinition.DetailArea.Sections[0].ReportObjects["DateField1"];
     // These work, if I want to use one of the default formats
     // fieldObject.FieldFormat.DateFormat.SystemDefaultType = CrDateSystemDefaultTypeEnum.crDateSystemDefaultTypeUseLongDate;
     // fieldObject.FieldFormat.DateFormat.SystemDefaultType = CrDateSystemDefaultTypeEnum.crDateSystemDefaultTypeUseShortDate;
     // I don't want to use one of the defaults.
     fieldObject.FieldFormat.DateFormat.SystemDefaultType = CrDateSystemDefaultTypeEnum.crDateSystemDefaultTypeNotUsingDefaults;
     // I want to change the order of the values
     fieldObject.FieldFormat.DateFormat.DateOrder = CrDateOrderEnum.crDateOrderDayMonthYear;
     // Display the report in the viewer
     crystalViewer.ReportSource = rpt.rcd.ReportSource;
I'm assuming I'm missing something about the object model here, but I can't find any good reference to it. Can someone help me out?
Thanks!

Hello,
I find using the Object Browser in .NET IDE is very useful. Or look for the Developers help file
The API you are using is not the one to use. Try this one:
public virtual CrystalDecisions.Shared.DayFormat DayFormat { set; get; }

Sales Order and obligatory material's parameter fields - help!!!

Hi,
My problem is:
I've got to create material in MM by using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA, so that this material can be later used as an item in Sales Order (SD). Do you know what parameter fields from which structures are obligatory in my case? I've already passed quite a lot of data to this BAPI, but I still get following error:
"Material myMaterial is not defined for sales org. 4000, distr.chan. 01, language FI"
Any suggestion will be appreciated and properly rewarded if useful.
My Java source-code is available below. Check this out and let me know what is missed.

Hi Alistair,
I have a full access to SAP, so I can create and extend material whenever I want through MM01/MM02, but my target is to develop a method in Java, which creates a fully functional material to be used later in Sales Order.
A code listed in my prevoius post shows most of my method. I've got to indicate that my method works correctly and creates material. I've checked it through MM03 - I mean my material created with my method exists.
Moreover both sales org. and distr. channel are passed to BAPI, as you may see in the following code:
                * SALESDATA
               Structure salesData = input.getStructure("SALESDATA");
               salesData.setValue("4000","SALES_ORG");
               salesData.setValue("01","DISTR_CHAN");
               salesData.setValue("NORM","ITEM_CAT");
               salesData.setValue("4200","DELYG_PLNT");
But the problem occurs when I wanna create Sales Order (VA01) and when I choose the item. Material created by my method causes error:
"Material myMaterial is not defined for sales org. 4000, distr.chan. 01, language FI"
I don't understand why? I'm not SAP specialist, but in my opinion I've passed necessary data.
Do you any idea?
Thanks in advance. Every helpful suggestion will be properly rewarded.

Sum on Parameter field Help

Post Author: Jedit
CA Forum: General
I need a total sum for a shared number variable let me explain.
I have jobs (JWO-1,JWO-2 JWO-3 etcu2026..) that have items being scrapped at different operations.
I have a main report that shows all jobs with scrap & has two sections in it, detail section A & B.
My sub report is located in section A with the following fields
JOB | OP | QTY_SCRAP | COST.
The sub report lists all lines (operations) that have been completed for a job & filters on QTY_SCRAP being >0 then sums the cost filed for all completed operations up to the operation the item/s were scrapped.
I have a shared numbervar (linetotal) that Iu2019m using to pass the summed value back to my main report.
Syntax for variable is
whileprintingrecords;shared numbervar linetotal:=Sum ({table.Cost})
Back in my main report in detail section B.
I have some other fields that describes why the item/s were found to be faulty with a cost centre, the linetotal field from the sub report appears here & I reference it up with variable linetotal in my main report as
whileprintingrecords;shared numbervar linetotal
For any job, my report shows items being scraped at different operations with a cost & a reason for the scrap.
I now grouped on a Job Number & try to sum all the linetotal parameter fields.
Itu2019s at this point I have the difficulty?
I also want to use the values in a chart & have the same problem, the field is not available for a chart & canu2019t be summed????
I know itu2019s a bit verse & chapter but hopefully this will help?

Dear Gary,
IMHO we can't use a structure type as a parameter ,
especially when the structure does not consist of string fields only.
This is the case why there is the need to define several select-options in the selection screen pointing to the same table ( ie : s_vbeln for vbak-vbeln, s_auart for vbak-auart ) .
In case of yours, if the parameter has a basic type, then the internal table definition should be just fine .
====
I have just read this thread again and find out that your requirement is to define a dynamic table .
In that case, you can ignore this reply

Date Format problem in a JTable, help plzzz !!!

Hi,
i have a JTable which contains multiple date columns, and more particulary, Timestamp columns.
I mean this format : yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.fffffffff
I only need hh:mm:ss informations for my JTable.
The problem is when i retrieve the datas in the JTable (which has a bean Select for model), the date column has this format : yyyy-mm-dd (only the date), and the time is not present !
What must i do to have only a part of the timestamp data in the column ??
Thanks in advance
Steve

If you want to format data in any way other than the default in a JTable, you need a table cell renderer. Sun's tutorial on how to use JTables explains them.

Date format ! Help me !

My XML data have date format like:
<INVOICE_DATE>20-JAN-06</INVOICE_DATE>
I want to change date format to: '20/01/2006'
In my rtf template, I tried some way in the user guide to do date format
I. Using the Microsoft Date Format Mask. To apply a date format to a form field:
1. Open the Form Field Options dialog box for the placeholder field.
2. Set the Type to Date
3. Select the appropriate Date format from the list of options "dd/MM/yyyy"
II. Using the Oracle Format Mask
<?format-date:INVOICE_DATE; ’dd/MM/yyyy’?>
III. Using the xdofx function
<?xdofx:to_date( INVOICE_DATE, ’dd/MM/yyyy')
But all the way i did date format is not work !
Anyone help me to change date format '20-JAN-06' to '20/01/2006' ?
Thanks !

The Data should be canonical Data Format to format the date in RTF Template.
"YYYY-MM-DD";
"YYYY-MM-DD\"T\"HH24:MI:SS.FF3TZH:TZM";
"YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS";

Date Format in Oracle 11g XE

Hello everyone,
I have installed Oracle11XE and noticed that it has the following date format:
      SQL> SHOW PARAMETER NLS_DATE_FORMAT
      NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
      nls_date_format                      string      RR-MM-DD
I know that I can change the format for the session, like this:
     alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-YY';
I also know that to change the system parameter I need to do the following:
     alter system set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-YY' scope=spfile;
     then restart the database.
However, after I do the latter, the date format is still:
     SQL> select sysdate from dual;
     SYSDATE
     14-11-19
Could someone tell me why this is happening and correct this?..
Thanks.

system setting is weakest because it is over-ridden by any other setting.

Problem With Date Format Mask

Hi everyone,
when i set the date format mask in any field..
if i enter any wrong date format messages are coming in to loop
is this is bug of format mask?
how can i avoid this..
thanks in advance
anand mohan

It should not take you into a loop. If the "validation" against the format mask fails, a message is displayed, and the focus is returned to the field which caused the problem. Do you maybe have some method or event associated with the field which could be causing the circular behavior?

How i can change date format in the query

I have made a query and Document date format is DD/MM/YYYY but i want Document date Format as YYYYMMDD. Please help me out as soon as posible.
Thanks is advance.

Hi Harman,
By default query shows same date setting what is maitianed in SU01 (user maintenance). User can set the dates as they want. Ask user to log in BI system and go to system> User Profile> Own Data. They can select the date format and save the changes.
If you want to display same setting for all user, please select the format whenever you create any users and change for existing users.

DATE FORMAT Conversion FOR SQL Reports

Hi,
Am building a report and am stuck here where this piece of code that throws the following error
The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.
My query goes some thing like this
DECLARE @StartDate varchar(15),
@EndDate Varchar(15)
SELECT @StartDate = '01/08/2014',
@EndDate = '31/08/2014'
SELECT DISTINCT
[Operation] = CASE WHEN p.DATE_OF_START BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate THEN 'Add'
ELSE 'Update' END
FROM SNZ_HR_Reporting_POSMGNT as s
LEFT OUTER JOIN PERSON as p on s.EMP_NO = p.EMP_NO
WHERE s.CHANGE_DATE BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate
The date format in the column DATE_OF_START is like yyyy-mm-dd 00.00.00.000 .
My question is how to convert this format to dd/mm/yyyy format and execute the queries
Many Thanks,
Bhanu

....AND ( ( (Dinehmer.DI_GEBDAT = TO_DATE('01.01.2000', 'yyyy-mm-dd')) )
how to specify the language and date format parameters ?
