DATE format in parameters

I have a problem with date formats.
I declared parameter in BIP with date format 'dd.MM.yyyy'
i have parameter with same name in list of parameters in data template.
i set parameter type on date so i can choose date from calendar... when i choose it i get it like this: 15.09.2009
but BIP send me a error msg: not a valid month.
i figured out why... because he ned to get date in format --> 15.SEP.2009
Now here is a question: How can i synchronize this formats?? i need them in format of 'dd.MM.yyyy'

Convert Useing <b>WRITE INTO</b>
<b>WRITE .... <f> <option>.</b>

Date Parameters and List of Values (error message date format cannot be nul

I'm new to BI Publisher. I began with a simple report that has 4 parameters. The parameters are center code, sales date, customer number, and job number. I am trying to create a list of values on my customer number based on the center code and sales date entered by the user. My query for my LOV is:
select customer_nbr
from ticket
where center_cd = :center
and trunc(trans_date) = :salesDate
salesDate is defined as a date parameter with a format of MM-dd-yy. It's default value is 04-10-07.
When I attempt to view my report after adding the LOV, I receive the error:
Date format can not be null.
What am I doing wrong? Also, I would like the salesDate to default to the current date. I have tried using sysdate as the default value. This isn't working. The salesDate defualts to null when it is set to sysdate.

"Date - allows the user to enter a date as a parameter. Note that the data type must also be "Date" and the format must be Java date format."

IR Job Parameters - Import bqy to a location - Append date to filename - How to change the date format?

Hi All,
The title pretty much says it all. We have a few jobs running that require Mon-YY appended for each month they are run. Right now it's a manual process of changing the import file name in the parameters for each month. I see that I could append the file name with date but it's not in the format I need. Has anyone been able to accomplish this? Any help is appeciated!
Thanks,
S

Unfortunately, I do not have a Firefox OS device, so this is based on an old screen shot I saw in a search...
During initial setup, you may have been asked to confirm your language and region. I believe the region is used to localize your date format. Can you find a setup app to get back to those choices? Please be advised that running a setup app may remove some data, so it's probably a good idea to wait for additional feedback before actually going forward with it.

Problem with SQL*Loader and different date formats in the same file

DB: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
System: AIX 5.3.0.0
Hello,
I'm using SQL*Loader to import semi-colon separated values into a table. The files are delivered to us by a data provider who concatenates data from different sources and this results in us having different date formats within the same file. For example:
...;2010-12-31;22/11/1932;...
I load this data using the following lines in the control file:
EXECUTIONDATE1 TIMESTAMP NULLIF EXECUTIONDATE1=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:EXECUTIONDATE1, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
DELDOB TIMESTAMP NULLIF DELDOB=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:DELDOB, 'DD/MM/YYYY')",
The relevant NLS parameters:
NLS_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
If I load this file as is the values loaded into the table are 31 dec 2010 and 22 nov *2032*, aven though the years are on 4 digits. If I change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to DD/MM/YYYY then the second date value will be loaded correctly, but the first value will be loaded as 31 dec *2020* !!
How can I get both date values to load correctly?
Thanks!
Sylvain

This is very strange, after running a few tests I realized that if the year is 19XX then it will get loaded as 2019, and if it is 20XX then it will be 2020. I'm guessing it may have something to do with certain env variables that aren't set up properly because I'm fairly sure my SQL*Loader control file is correct... I'll run more tests :-(

SSAS Cube parameter date format change

Hi Experts,
I am new to SSRS report creation. I have a parameter which is fetching date from cube. The date format from cube is YYYY-MM-DD.
I want expression to change the date format to DD/MM/YYYY.
I have used this expression - =Format(CDATE(Parameters!DimPromoUBUBStartDate.Value),"dd/MM/yyyy")
but it is not working and getting the following error,
"unable to cast object of type 'System.object[]' to type 'system Iconvertible'
Please give your suggestions
Thanks in Advance,
Rajan

Hi Rajan,
According to your description, when you convert the "YYYY-MM-DD" formatted data from the parameter and change the format, it throw the error above. Right?
In this scenario, the reason why you get this error because you set allow multiple values in that parameter. When we allow multiple values in a parameter, all select values will be put into a array when processing even you only select one value. And
the CDate() function can't convert the object[]. So please unselect the allow multiple values in parameter. If you want to keep multiple values selection, you can only convert one element from the array. For example: CDate(Parameter!XXXX.Value(0))
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

Date Format in Record Selection

Hello,
I have a problem where the Crystal Report is not returning all the rows that meet the record selection criteria because I believe there is a problem with the date format.
My record selection criteria is:
( {EMPOS.POS_STARTC} <= {@EB_EDATE} and {EMPOS.POS_ENDD} >= {@EB_SDATE} ) or
IsNull({EMPOS.POS_ENDD} )
where EB_EDATE and EB_SDATE are formula fields with the values Date(2011, 12, 31) and Date(2011, 01, 01) respectively which returns the format of DD/MM/YYYY used by the FinanceOne (F1) ERP application that we run the report from. Both formula fields are overriden by the run parameters in the same date format in F1.
If I were to run the SQL below in a query tool like Toad, it returns a row where pos_startc is 1/01/2011 and pos_endd is null, that is not included in the report.
select * from empos where det_numbera = '01285'
and ( (pos_startc <= '20111231' and pos_endd >= '20110101') or pos_endd is null )
1. Why is Crystal Reports excluding this row when the date format is different?
2. How can I change the criteria (or format) to include the one of many other rows missing?

Hello,
Crystal Reports is now returning all rows where pos_endd is null in the database with the record selection criteria of:
{CHRIS_EmpSal.pos_endd} = date(0, 0, 0)
However, when I run it in Finance One, it doesn't like this date format Is there another way to get both Crystal and Finance One (i.e., SQL Server DB) to recognise the same syntax for null dates?

Date format in Oracle 10g XE

I'm using Oracle 10g XE on Windows Vista and I'm curious as to what determines the date format.
According to the globalization section in the Oracle installation guide the NLS_DATE format is dependent on the NLS_LANGUAGE setting. In my database the NLS_LANGUAGE is American, the NLS_TERITORY is America and all other NLS_* parameters are blank (default).
From that I would expect the default date format to be mon-dd-yyyy.
However when I run SELECT sysdate FROM dual the date is reported as dd/mm/yyyy and this was the default format when I used SQL Developer and when I used the command line SQL*Plus. Obviously something else is determining the date format, but what?

Your settings are dependent on NLS_LANG on the client.
They are derived from (assuming Windows) the regional settings of the O/S.
This means in Western Europe the default 'American_America.WE8MSWIN1252'.
This makes the default NLS_DATE_FORMAT dd-mm-yy.
You can override this in the registry, or set up an after logon trigger.

Date format in BI query

Hi,
We need to display a single date format independent of date format of SAP User settings. For ex: as below.
In a current query the date, depending on the user's configuration could appear as:
dd.mm.yyyy (English format)         or        yyyy-mm-dd (Swedish format)        or        mm.dd.yyyy (American format)
I need to change some of the queries date format as below.
a) Change all dates in query outputs and parameters to the format YYYYMMDD
b) Change all months in query outputs and parameters to the format YYYYMM
c) Change all financial periods in query outputs and parameters to the format YYYYPPP
Thanks,
Jitu

Hi
I think u have to use the ABAP code at the query level.
First take the date in one variable zdate_var and then if u want the below , then
data : zdate_var_year type d,
           zdate_var_mm type d,
          zdate_var_dd type d.
zdate_var_year = zdate_var(4).
zdate_var_mm = zdate + 4(2).
zdate_var_dd = zdate + 6(2).
YYYYMM = zdate_var_year , zdate_var_mm.
LIke this u can have ur o/p as per ur wish,
Hope u got it ,
Thanx & Regards,

F110 Date formats for Vendors

Hi friends,
I am running payment run and system when generates checks, it creates checks with european format (DD.MM.YYYY)for vendors of china, UK but for US vendors its in US format(MM/DD/YYYY)
Is there a way in SAP we can make it similar for all vendors.
Because we pay them from US banks and client want all checks to be generated in US format only.
Thanks
Mil

Hello Mil,
I suppose this should help.
Try changing the country global parameters
In order to get there. SPRO > General Settings > select the country that you need to change to US standards. Say for instance china (Double click)
It would take you to Country Global Parameters.
Here under Date format which appears on the bottom-left corner choose MM-DD-YYYY instead of the default.
Hope this would resolve your issue.
Please allocate points if rendered useful.
Thanks

Date formats for SQL statements used by recordset object

Hi,
Date formatting appears to be quite problematic for Business One. I did a forum search for date issues and I don't think I saw any of them with an "answered" status. I have an issue with formatting a date for the creation of an SQL statement that the DI sends to SQL Server 2005. I need to format a date so that the localization parameters don't matter for either the client machine or SQL Server's machine. We don't have a problem as long as our machines are localized as USA.
I have PL 22 and I have a form - ours - where I use the Today() function to fill a date field. So this is a date that is not entered by the user. The result of this function is consistent with the localization parameters on my machine. We have two other date fields on the form where the user must type in the date.
As a test, I changed my machine to the UK parameters. I then set up the language parameters of Business One for English(United Kingdom). I changed the date format specifications in Business One so that its format is dd/mm/yy. I then brought up the form and the field that is formatted by the above function arrived in the form's field as dd/mm/yy. I then typed in the two other dates in the same format and added the record to the database. The form's table is user-defined.
I dismissed the form then brought it back up loaded with the new record. The date that was entered by the function appeared in USA format (mm/dd/yy). The dates that were typed in appeared in the Business One format (dd/mm/yy). This of course is not consistent.
When I looked at what got into the database, the formats were the opposite. Weird! To make matters really confusing, I run an SQL statement within SQL Server Mgt Studio, and use the WHERE clause to filter on the date that was based on the function. It didnt matter what format I used for the WHERE clause, the record came up. Does anyone have any idea about how I can ensure that I always use the correct date format for SQL statements passed by Business One to SQL Server regardless of where in the world the application is being run?
Thanks,
Mike

Ian,
Here's what I'm concerned about: Im using the date in a WHERE clause.
Assume the date is Aug 3, 2007.
"SELECT * FROM Table WHERE StartDate > 8/3/2007"
OR
"SELECT * FROM Table WHERE StartDate > 3/8/2007"
If the client machine is set up as USA, the today function will provide the date as formatted in the first query. If the database server is setup as lets say the UK, I believe that SQL Server query parser will interpret the date as Mar 8, 2007.
If the client machine is set up as UK, the today function will provide the date as formatted in the second query. If the database server is setup as lets say USA, I believe that SQL Server query parser will also interpret the date as Mar 8, 2007.
In both cases it would be wrong.
I know I could use the DATEPART function to get the three parts and this will make the code indifferent to the localization specs of the client machine. I need to then be able to concatenate those date parts for the WHERE clause so that the localization specifications of the database server dont matter.
Thanks,
Mike

Date format Problem in forms&reports Services 10g

Hi Dears,
I Faced a problem during running reports ( i am using forms& Reports Services 10g), when i pass the parameters via parameter form to the report (built in forms10g Rel 2.0) its appearing in arabic like (25-يناير-2010) as my Date Formate is (DD-YYYY-MON) and NLS_LANG parameter is defined as Arabic_Saudi arabia.AR8MSWIN1256 so as a result report is not running due to unknown Date formate, how can i change the Same Date format (DD-YYYY-MON) to appear in english like (25-2010-JAN)
Thanks

You could specify the parameter as type VARCHAR2, explicitly cast it (maybe to DD.MM.YYYY) when you pass it from forms and cast it back in your query, like TO_DATE(:P_PARAM, 'DD.MM.YYYY')

Date format in external table

Hi All,
I have a flat file which has date field that looks like '2007-08-09 19:04:03.597000000'. I have to create an external table to read the file. I tried giving these two date formats 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss.ff' and 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss.ms'. But none of them works. what should be the date format to be mentioned in external table defnition?
The external table defnition is like
CREATE TABLE EXT_TEST
( "ID" NUMBER(10,0),
"DATE_COL" DATE
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
( TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY "EXT_TAB_DIR"
ACCESS PARAMETERS
( RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL(
ID,
"DATE_COL" DATE "yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss.ff"
LOCATION
( 'test.dat'
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
Thanks

Thanks for the help,
I have one more date column and the format is like 1/31/2007 4:03:56 PM. The external table defnition looks like
CREATE TABLE EXT_TEST
( "ID" NUMBER(10,0),
"DATE_COL" DATE
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
( TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY "EXT_TAB_DIR"
ACCESS PARAMETERS

ID,
"DATE_COL" char date_format date mask "M/d/yyyy h:mm:ss tt"
LOCATION
( 'test.dat'
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
But this again gives an error. Is this the correct date format?

No. of hours appear in Date Format in Reports

The output of the Personnel Action Report shows the "Annual Working Hours" column in Date format. This is the same with other reports like the Wage Type Reporter.
Can somebody suggest a solution to this?
Thanks
RS

Hey thanks to both of you for responding.
Personnel Action Report is customised "ZHRPA" and Wage type report is also a customised one.
Ameet, could you please let me know what exactly I am supposed to chekc in my parameters (SU3)? Should I ask the developer to check the report since this is a customised one?
Remi, wage type reporter is also a customised report here. It is the customised version of PC00_M99_CWTR.
