Date format is different

Hi,
I have a excel report showing milestone dates. All of a sudden the date columns show different date formats ( alternatively dd/mm/yyyy and mm/dd/yyyy ). What is this weird behaviour ? what are the corrective measures ?
thanks in advance
D Bret

Char 1 dd//mm/yyyy mm/dd/yyyy.....dd/mm/yyyy..
any idea ?
thnks

Answers - date format on different machines

Hi all.
On a machine where OBISE is installed in answers for one date i clicked "save as the system-wide default for this data type. Since then, all dates when i access OBI from that machine are in that format.
When I access it from another machine I have to "save as the system-wide default for this data type" again.
I want to know:
1) Where is the configuration saved for every machine?
2) How to configure that every machine that uses OBI have the sam default date format? (example: if I have 1000 users that they all don't have to make their default format.)
Thank you.

I'm not sure you understood me well. I have OBI just on one machine and catalog is, naturally, also on that machine. When I open application from browser on other machine I get different format, and for every machine is diiferent. It is strange behavior, if you ask me. I want to configure OBi, so that, nevermind which machine I'm phisically on, I have same dates.
So, the real question is how OBI knows from which machine I'm coming and where it is saved. It isn't in metada.
Another question, not related with this is, where is the 1000's separator option saved, because it also isn't in metadata, where decimal separator and places is.

Date format in different databases like DB2, MS SQL, Oracle etc.

Hi,
Is there any standard date format, which works on any database like DB2, MS SQL Server, or Oracle 8i.
Right now I am using specific format for each database.
I am using the following syntax to retrieve the records on Jun 14, 2001.
MS SQL Server:
select * from tablename where
CONVERT(character(10),ReceiptDateTime, 120) >='2001-06-14'
and CONVERT(character(10), ReceiptDateTime , 120) <'2001-06-15'
Oracle:
select * from tablename where
TO_CHAR(ReceiptDateTime,'YYYY-MM-DD') >= '2001-06-14'
AND TO_CHAR(ReceiptDateTime,'YYYY-MM-DD') < '2001-06-15'
Is there any way we can generalize the date formt?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Naidu

Hi,
Perhaps any difference when you compare the outcomes of
SQL> select * from nls_database_parameters;
SQL> select * from nls_session_parameters;on both databases?

Date format in different from System Preferences

The date display in the top right corner of the menu bar is not according to the custom setting I have defined in System Preferences.
In Language & Region, I defined the date format to be <day of month number> < name of month> <year>.
The menu bar however displays the date in American style date format of <name of month> <day of months number>.
Is there any way to have Numbers pick up the date format from Language & Region as defined in System Preferences?

CalendarUI element showing different date format for different locations

Hi,
I have an input field with date calendar in my webdynpro Java form . User can select date from this calendar and fill the input field. For this I have used input field in my layout and have binded this with one context attribute of type date. Say name of this field is requiredByDate
Now when I build and deploy my code, I can see the the required By date field and user is able to select date values from the calendar button next to the input field. The format of the date selected is mm/dd/yyyy.
However , when a user tests this application from other location say Malaysia, for him the format is coming as dd/mm/yyyy after selecting the date from the calendar.
Just want to know ,is there is difference in date format for differnt locations ? For India, when you select the date its showing mm/dd/yyyy and for Malayisa its showing dd/mm/yyyy.
Is there anything we can do by changing our system settings like timezone or dateformat in system settings.
I am using standard UI element and binding it with context element of type date.
Need your advice or help on this..
Thanks and regards,
Sai

Date format is different on two different iviews

I am maintaining some portal apps that were originally written in EP5 and have been converted to work in EP6. The iviews make RFC calls to SAP and bring back data with date fields from SAP. We use JCA to connect to SAP, in EP5 we used JCO. The user is complaining because in one of the iviews the date is coming back yyyy-dd-mm instead of mm/dd/yyyy as in the other iviews. In EP5 these iviews all returned mm/dd/yyyy. Does anyone know why I'm having this problem on one particular iview. We are using the DefaultTableViewModel to store our results from the SAP. Thanks, Angie.

Thanks ...
<b>Here's the code that puts the data returned from SAP into the table view model:</b> The date is in column 5.(further below I have the code that displays the data from the model):

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 - while defining the table column

Hi Friends,
I came across a piece of code which was applying a TO_DATE() function on a date type column.
I have two tables t1 and t2 and they have col1 and col2 columns respectively of type DATE
t1
col1 DATE
t2
col2 DATEalso there is a variable var1 and is defined as below:
var1 DATE;now I have conditions as below in the code:
AND to_date(t1.col1,'dd/mm/yyyy') = to_date(t2.col2,'dd/mm/yyyy')
AND to_date(t1.col1,'dd/mm/yyyy') = to_date(var1,'dd/mm/yyyy')This code failed on Production with an error: ORA-01861 literal does not match format string
I changed the code to remove TO_DATE() and it worked fine. Dev clarified that they used this function so that if the two columns or variable are in diff date format.,..they can be put in sync.
e.g. if col1 is dd/mm/yyyy and col2 is mm/dd/yyyy then there will be an issue.
My doubt is.. in a given environment if we are creating a table and defining a column of type DATE , or defining a variable of type DATE, can their format be different at any time? I think No.?
In what scenario can the date format be different?
Thanks,

Having said that date format is only for display purposes, if you tend to avoid the error without changing the code then you can modify the NLS_DATE_FORMAT parameter at session level.
SQL> alter session set nls_date_format = 'dd-mm-yyyy'
2 /
Session altered.
SQL> select to_date(sysdate,'dd/mm/yyyy') from dual

CLIENT_OLE2 date formatting problem while reading from Excel

I have installed webutil package and tested that everything works by running webutil_demo as well as WU_TEST_106 form. Then I had implemented reading from Excel sp. sheet using Oracle note 813535.1 (This note has OLE2 code sample on how to read an Excel file). Everything fine till now. The problem started when I have a date fiield to read from Excel. The field where the value is going to has format mask of 'DD-MM-RRRR'. When the date is displayed in the form, it shows '01-AUG-0009' instead of '01-AUG-2009'. I tried changing the date format to different formats in Excel but no go. I found one blog which stated that treat the date as number and use e.g. "cell_date_value:=to_date('01/01/1900','DD/MM/YYYY')+client_OLE2.get_num_property(cel,,'Value')+2" but it too did not change the display. Then I tried debugging and stepping through the code..the only thing I noticed that OLE2 function displayed the date with 2 digit year as 09 and when the code completed execution, the date went back to '01-AUG-0009'. Casting with 4 digit year at every step in the code is not helping to change final date display correctly. Any idea?!!!

Hi,
While reading the date column from excel, try using
m_col_val := OLE2.get_char_property(Workcell,'Text');
Instead of
m_col_val := OLE2.get_char_property(Workcell,'Value');
I think you problem will be solved...
hello...i meant client_OLE2

There are different Convertions required for different applications.
You can check this at domain level of field.
Check this from SAP help.
Conversion Routine
Conversion takes place when converting the contents of a screen field from display format to SAP-internal format
and vice versa and when outputting with the ABAP statement WRITE, depending on the data type of the field.
If standard conversion is not suitable, it can be overridden by specifying a conversion routine in the underlying domain.
A conversion routine is identified by its five-place name and is stored as a group of two function modules.
The function modules have a fixed naming convention. The following function modules are assigned to
conversion routine xxxxx:
CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_INPUT
CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_OUTPUT
The INPUT module performs the conversion from display format to internal format. The OUTPUT module performs the
conversion from internal format to display format.
If a screen field refers to a domain with a conversion routine, this conversion routine is executed automatically each
time an entry is made in this screen field or when values are displayed with this screen field.

Date format when searching

Is there a way to apply the date format specified in the control hints of the entity object (or view object) also to the search mode in JClient, e.g. 'dd.MM.yyyy'?
The only way I see at the moment is to add an ActionListener to the execute button and reformat the given date. Can this be done easier?
Thanks a lot,
Matthias

You're not the only one.
We're developing a system that may well use different date formats for different instances, so we can't hardcode the date format.
Anyone got any clues?
Are you there Oracle?

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 :-(
