Date format urgently

function module which convert date format in required date format means system date to user friendly like dd.mm.yyyy
mm/dd/yyyy yyyy/mm/dd like 8 type..

Hi,
You cna use CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL
or you can write these lines in your code to get the user format, this will support all the SAP formats
DATA: date_1 like sy-datum.
data: Date2(8).
data: date_3(10).
date_1 = SY-DATUM.
Move DATE_ 1 to DATE_2.
Write: Date_2 to Date_3.
Write:/ Date_3.
so now, Date_3 will have the user format.

Problem in date format urgent.

hi everyone,
i am developing a report in that i am passind date as DDMMYYYY, here i am not seeing any output in report that output should be sent to customet trrow mail as excel sheet,
i am succeded in that but i am getting date format problem.
that is he want to upload that file into sap, in that that the date format is YYYY / MM / DD. but i am unable to do that.
i used this stmts for that.
Concatenate v_string0(4) v_string4(2) v_string+6(2) into v_date SEPARATED BY '/' .
concatenate c_equal c_colon v_date c_colon into v_date.
but it is giving ="YYYY / MM / DD" if i remove the second stmt it is giving DDMMYYYY only can you help me in this issue.
i need that format as YYYY / MM / DD.like this.
regards,
chaithu.p

Hi,
Ur v_string = DDMMYYYY right,
so use concatenate statement as follows,
Concatenate v_string4(4) v_string2(2) v_string+0(2) into v_date SEPARATED BY '/' .
concatenate c_equal ` ` v_date into v_date.
if u don't want '=' also remove that from concatenate statement.
i think this will give u correct order.

Date format, urgent, Please help

I'm having problem with date format. In the sql I need get data that greater than
'05-01-2005' but cannot get it work.the = is Ok but not > or >=.
Could someone please tell why and how to do it?
Many thanks
this one is work.
select distinct to_char(LAST_MODIFIED_DATE, 'DD/MM/YYYY') start_date
from ccst_acctsys_account
where to_char(LAST_MODIFIED_DATE,'DD-MM-YYYY') = '05-01-2005';
this one is not work
select distinct to_char(LAST_MODIFIED_DATE, 'DD/MM/YYYY') start_date
from ccst_acctsys_account
where to_char(LAST_MODIFIED_DATE,'DD-MM-YYYY') > '05-01-2005'

since you convert the date to character format you won't be able to use the > or <
you might want to use the trunc() function and convert the '05-01-2005' in date datatype:
select distinct to_char(LAST_MODIFIED_DATE, 'DD/MM/YYYY') start_date
from ccst_acctsys_account
where trunc(LAST_MODIFIED_DATE) >= to_date('05-01-2005','dd-mon-yyyy');Message was edited by:

Jonh has the same solution. You might want to try including the TRUNC() function.

URGENT !!!! Problem with Date format MM/DD/YYYY in oracle database to BW

Hi
I am wondering if somebody can help me urgently.
I have oracle database where date is of the format MM/DD/YYYY and I am loading data into BW. DATE data type
Date in oracle database: 3/30/2007
First when I used InfoObject ZDATE (with 0DATE) reference (DATS data type) data load failed saying that
'Value '30-MAR-0 ' of characteristic 0DATE is not a number with 000008 spaces'
Then I created ZDATE InfoObject as CHAR Type (Length 10) with PDATE Conversion Routine.
when I created datasource using DB Connect and checked the contents using 'Display Table Contents' after creating data source the data field distorted as
AR/-0/30-M
After data load. when I checked PSA
The Date records look same as AR/-0/30-M
In cube the field appeared as 30-MAR-0 (last digit of year disappearing)
In BEx report also it looks like 'AR/-0/30-M'
Can somebody help me as quickly as possible.
What should I do if i want to still use DATS data type for ZDATE?
should I change date format in database if so to what?
If I should use CHAR type with PDATE or any other routine can somebody give me the routine to have the date in the report exactly as it appears in database?
I also tried changing date format in user profile...settings. But still its the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Snrella,
You can solve this by converting the date format from oracle to the SAP internal date format using an ABAP routine in the transfer rules.
Assuming the oracle data field name is ZODATE then here's the ABAP you can use in the transfer rules. Create an ABAP routine transfer rule from ZODATE to your ZDATE infoobject, and then put this ABAP code there. (this code assumes that the format of the date from oracle is MM/DD/YYYY).
concatenate tran_structure-/BIC/ZODATE+6(4) tran_structure-/BIC/ZODATE(2) tran_structure-/BIC/ZODATE+3(2) into result.
Hope this helps.

You might have to describe the columns as varchar then modify the table to the right format.

URGENT: Date format in Reports Giving me trouble...plz help me out

Hi guru's Can any one help me out
I
n the front end apps we are getting the date value as
BOM_SRS_DATETIME_STANDARD
Where we are entering the date value as MM/DD/RRRR HH24:MI:SS
The date format set in the company is like RRRR/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS
SO I format masked the date parameter in .RDF to RRRR/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS format.
While the actual date format in the data base is like DD/MM/RRRR HH24:MI:SS.
I checked all the old reports and the date format is like they masked the date format to company format and used the afterparameter trigger like bellow:
if :P_SENT_DATE_FROM is not null and :P_SENT_DATE_TO is null then
:P_SENT_DATE_TO := :P_SENT_DATE_FROM;
end if;
if (:P_SENT_DATE_FROM = :P_SENT_DATE_TO) and (:P_SENT_DATE_FROM is not null) then
:WHERE_SQL := :WHERE_SQL || ' AND CREATION_DATE = '||' to_date('''||:P_SENT_DATE_FROM||''''||','||'''DD-MON-RR'')';
else
if :P_SENT_DATE_FROM is not null then
:WHERE_SQL := :WHERE_SQL || ' AND CREATION_DATE >= '||' to_date('''||:P_SENT_DATE_FROM ||''''||','||'''DD-MON-RR'')';
end if;
if :P_SENT_DATE_TO is not null then
:WHERE_SQL := :WHERE_SQL || ' AND CREATION_DATE <= '||' to_date('''||:P_SENT_DATE_TO ||''''||','||'''DD-MON-RR'')';
end if;
end if;
I tried this but i couldnt get the output either.
I am pretty much confused.
Plz help me out...

If you want to use a dynamic where caluse in your report query you can use a Reference Cursor using REF CUR QUERY tool in your report like this :
function QR_1RefCurDS return DEF_CURSORS.CHARACT_REFCUR is
temp_CHARACT DEF_CURSORS.CHARACT_refcur;
begin
IF :FROM_NO IS NULL AND :TO_NO IS NULL THEN
open temp_CHARACT for SELECT ACCT_CODE, ACCT_NAME
FROM CHARACT
ORDER BY ACCT_CODE;
ELSIF :TO_NO IS NULL AND :FROM_NO IS NOT NULL THEN
open temp_CHARACT for select ACCT_CODE, ACCT_NAME
FROM CHARACT
WHERE ACCT_CODE=:FROM_NO
ORDER BY ACCT_CODE;
ELSIF :TO_NO IS NOT NULL AND :FROM_NO IS NOT NULL THEN
open temp_CHARACT for select ACCT_CODE, ACCT_NAME
FROM CHARACT
WHERE ACCT_CODE BETWEEN :FROM_NO AND :TO_NO
ORDER BY ACCT_CODE;
ELSIF :TO_NO IS NOT NULL AND :FROM_NO IS NULL THEN
open temp_CHARACT for select ACCT_CODE, ACCT_NAME
FROM CHARACT
WHERE ACCT_CODE<=:TO_NO
ORDER BY ACCT_CODE;
END IF;
return temp_CHARACT;
end;
But first you have to declare a cursor type in a package

Urgent ......regarding date format in SAP Script

In my MAIN WINDOW I have date fields like Date of Manifacture, created date and Expiry date.
So, currently I am using SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM' and it is printing same format for all fields.
But now my requirement is I want to show date for Expiry Date like 'YYYY-MM-DD'. For this I defined one temparary variable in the form like below
DEFINE &outdate& = &mchar-vfdat&
SET &outdate& MASK = 'YYYY-MM-DD'.
but still it is showing format YYYY-MM...
Plz help me how to print my desired date format...
I am waiting for ur reply...
Regards,
Kumar

Hi Kishore kumar,
What you can do is befor printing the Expiry date set the date Mask as 'YYYY-MM-DD' and after printing your Expiry Date again set the DATE MASK to 'YYYY-MM'
i.e.
/: SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM-DD'
&mchar-vfdat&
/: SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM'

Date format not recognized -- urgent help needed

Hi,
I'm having a problem when start sqlplus in dos command window. If I start it from C:\oracle\ora81\bin, it won't started and error message showing like 'Date format not recognized' and then come back to DOS.
I do have OWB installed which also has SQLPLUS installed so that there is no problem if I start it from C:\ORACLE\owb92\bin.
For some reason, the path is setting as C:\oracle\ora81\bin before C:\ORACLE\owb92\bin so the default always goes to 81 folder.
If restart the DB instance, and this problem is gone. But it comes back after some application running (our own application and Oracle provided OMBPlus ). We double check our own application, and there is no where to "alter session ...".
Any help will be very appreciatged,
Thanks,
Daming

I'm having a problem when start sqlplus in dos command window. If I start it from C:\oracle\ora81\bin, it won't started and error message showing like 'Date format not recognized' and then come back to DOS.
Do you have a file called 'login.sql' in the folder 'C:\oracle\ora81\bin'? If there is one, is there an 'alter session' command in this file?

Date format with alter session -- very urgent !!!!

The default format of date is DD-MON-YY.
I like to change as DD/MM/YYYY. So I tried to do so by going
through my login in SQLPlus and wrote
ALTER SESSION
SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD/MM/YYYY'.
The format got changed and there after every query displayed
date in dd/mm/yyyy format. But once I exit sqlplus and reenter
in sqlplus, the format goes away and the default date format i.e
dd-mon-yy comes in existence.
I want to know, how can i make my date format permanent and too
for all users.
null

hello Khan,
You can set this format in 2 ways, one is
local setting and the other one is on server setting.
Edit your c:\windows\oracle.ini (local setting)
or your init.ora (oracle server setting)
and add this script
SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD/MM/YYYY'
note: if there's no nls_date_format in oracle.ini, the server
nls_date_format in init.ora will be the current setting
on your PC
Hope this will help

2 solutions:
1) write a java stored procedure. java has time functionality
that is much more granular then the Oracle DATE type. This will
work in 8.1.5 and up. It can look like this:
[email protected]> CREATE or replace JAVA SOURCE
2 NAMED "MyTimestamp"
3 AS
4 import java.lang.String;
5 import java.sql.Timestamp;
6
7 public class MyTimestamp
8 {
9 public static String getTimestamp()
10 {
11 return (new
12 Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis())).toString();
13 }
14 };
15 /
Java created.
[email protected]> create or replace function my_timestamp
return varchar2
2 AS LANGUAGE JAVA
3 NAME 'MyTimestamp.getTimestamp() return java.lang.String';
4 /
Function created.
[email protected]> l
1* select my_timestamp, to_char(sysdate,'yyyy-mm-dd
hh24:mi:ss') from dual
[email protected]> /
MY_TIMESTAMP
TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YY
2000-06-22 13:47:53.376
2000-06-22 13:47:53
[email protected]>
2) use an external procedure written in C. C has api's to the
system that allow for much more granular time components. This
will work in 8.0 and up. For example if you run something like:
[email protected]> create or replace library timelib as
2 '/export/home/tkyte/src/t/extproc.so'
3 /
Library created.
[email protected]> create or replace
2 procedure get_extended_time( p_timestring out varchar2 )
3 is external
4 name "get_extended_time"
5 library timelib
6 language C
7 with context
8 parameters ( CONTEXT,
9 p_timestring STRING,
10 p_timestring INDICATOR short,
11 p_timestring MAXLEN int,
12 p_timestring LENGTH int );
13
14 /
Procedure created.
[email protected]> declare
2 l_timestring varchar2(30);
3 begin
4 get_extended_time( l_timestring );
5 dbms_output.put_line(
to_char( sysdate, 'mm/dd/yy hh24:mi:ss' ) );
6 dbms_output.put_line( l_timestring );
7 end;
8 /

DATE Format Error in ODI-11g(11.1.1.3)

I am using ETL transformations in ODI-11g. There's a dominant issue regarding date formattings when I map an ODI variable (storing date) with a TGT column(datatype=date) mappings.
In all the src-tgt mappings I am formatting the date by using TO_DATE() functions. But still getting the error:
"ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string".
A point to Note: The same ETL in other env are ruuning fine but in my new dev env it's giving this date error.
I had checked with the DBA folks and they confirmed they set equal DATE settings in all the env.
The ODI Variable is defined as an "Alphanumeric".
Tx Used: #BUSINESS_CURRENT_DT=TO_DATE('Date','YYYY-MM-DD')
Require some urgent advice...Please let me know

Hi,
W store name-value pair in the Control table from where we exctract our data. Both (param name and param value) are varchars.
Well this looks pretty strange in 11g! Here's what we found out...
If you are trying to retrieve a date variable by using TO_DATE() in the refresh query the ODI Java driver (JDK 1.6) would call java.sql.timestamp and gracefully attach HH:MI:SS.NS along with the date (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS.NS). My target ia a date always..!
So, when I do: TO_DATE('20101010','YYYY-MM-DD) in the refresh query ODI stores it as '2010-10-10 00:00:00.0'
For this the Load always fails as Oracle would not be able to interpret a timestamp by suing TO_DATE()
The Java driver does this damage. However, it may be wise to store as a timestamp rather as a date if in case u do a Data capture and want the exact time credentials.
Unfortunately not a req, as of now for us so I had to chop-off the timestamp..!
Let me know if you find any other details...
Thanks.!
