Date format when running in Mexico vs US

When using RS 2005. I have a report that I developed in the US and runs on a server in the US. I can create a subscription with no problems.
When our region in Mexico trys to create a subscription it gives an error on the date selections because it want to do dd/mm/yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy.
Is there a way around this problem.

The solution will require custom code since SSRS does not support localization. CodeProject has a couple of solutions:

Error in date format when I load a CSV file

I am using Oracle G10 XE and I am trying to load data into my database from comma separated files.
When I load the data from a CSV file which has the date with the following format "DD/MM/YYYY", I received the following error "ORA-01843: not a valid month".
I have the NSL_LANG set to AMERICAN. I have tried the following command: "ALTER SESSION SET NLS DATE FORMAT="DD/MM/YYYY" and this does nothing. When I try to run "SELECT SYSDATE "NOW" FROM DUAL;" I get the date in this format "10-NOV-06".
I will appreciate any help about migrating my data with date fields in format DD//MM/YYYY.
Sincerely,
Polonio

Wrong date format when setting Smart Album

I've got my date format set to the standard UK settings, eg. DD/MM/YY, but in Aperture when I create a smart folder the date settings are in the US format of MM/DD/YY. Is there anyway I can fix this - I've got System Preferences correctly set to UK formats.

There are folders and there are smart albums but I don't believe there are 'smart folders'.
If you could describe a bit of what you are doing to would be helpful in trying to answer your question.

Wrong date format when creating a universe based on a MS Analysis cube

Hi,
When creating a universe based on a MS Analysis 2008 cube the date objects from the cube are created in the universe with CHAR format when it should be DATE format
I have tried to resolve the issue by modifying the date object in the universe with MDX but with little success.
I wonder if it is an error in the cube and that it actually should be possible to get the correct date format from the cube when creating the universe automatically in the universe design tool.
The date object is organised in a hierarchy.
Any ideas? - both to resolve the issue by using MDX in the universe object properties or in the cube.
The universe design tool is version 4.0 SP2 patch 5
/Kim

Oh I knew I was missing something. Ok version 2.
I think in general this approach would work. I assumed you are starting from 1 and resetting to 1.
There should be error handling and so forth that is not here. Probably some details need to be tweaked.
So the key thing here AFAIK is to put the sequence reset in an autonomous procedure. Exactly how to do that may need to be modified.
PS this version has a bug. After the reset needs to change the increment of the sequence back to 1.
and I left that out. oops!
/* testtrigger */
/* previously:
create table mytable (
myprimary_key number(10) primary key,
column1 number(2)
create sequence mysequence
start with 1
increment by 1
maxvalue 99
nocache;
create table mylastdate (lastdate date);
insert into mylastdate(lastdate) values (trunc(sysdate));
create or replace procedure reset_mysequence (in_correction number) is
pragma autonomous_transaction;
begin
execute immediate 'alter sequence mysequence INCREMENT BY ' || in_correction || ' MINVALUE 1';
update mylastdate set lastdate = trunc(sysdate);
commit;
end;
show errors;
create or replace trigger mytrigger
before insert on mytable for each row
declare
tmpdate number(8) := null;
lastdate_used number(8) := null;
correction number := null;
lastseq number(2) := null;
begin
if INSERTING then
tmpdate := to_number(to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMMDD'));
select to_number(to_char(lastdate,'YYYYMMDD')) into lastdate_used
from mylastdate;
select mysequence.currval into lastseq from dual;
/* when this displays in the forum it shows lt gt as nothing on the screen
so this should be lastdate not equal to tmpdate */
if lastdate_used <> tmpdate and lastseq > 1 then
correction := -(lastseq - 1);
reset_mysequence(correction);
end if;
:new.myprimary_key := (tmpdate * 100) + mysequence.nextval;
end if;
end;

Wrong date format when using selection screen query

Hi all,
I have a problem in a report when usign the selection screen of the query.
the system has been upgraded recently from a 3.5 to 7.0. when a query is run in the bex web the user can put in the selection date needer to run the query.
currently if u select a month using the selection screen next to the input form, the month will show up in the input field
as 006 09 (006space09) instead of 06.2009 for the selection of june.
does anyone know how to fix this? it was working good using the 3.5 version of the bex web.
Any help apriciated

Using the list cube transaction and using the selection sceen and selecting the month it does put the right selection in the input field. ive also just tested it using de bx excel plugin and using the selection screen the correct value is set in the input field. so i think it more of a bex we b problem but i dont know where to start the search for the solution.

Wrong date format when import CSV files

When you import a CSV file that contains fields with German date formats, these fields are displayed incorrectly.
Example: Contents of the CSV file "01.01.14". After importing the corresponding cell in Numbers has the content "40178".
A reformat the cell to a date format is not possible.
How do I get the date in the new version of Numbers displayed correctly?

It seems that there are more than a few problems related to import/export with non-US localizations.
I, personally, don't have a solution to your problem. I started to adjust my Language & Region settings to test your problem but it was several settings, I didn't get it right, and I didn't want to mess up my computer so I set everything back to US/English.
The only workarounds I can suggest are
Insert a new column into your table and in it put a formula that adds the number to the date 01.01.1904. Or,
Edit the CSV in TextEdit to Replace All "." with "/". This will work if "." is used for nothing else but these dates.
I recommend the second one if it will work for you. Hopefully Apple is addressing problems such as the one you are seeing.

"Bad data format" when reading txt file from the presentation server

Hello,
I have a piece of code which reads a txt file from the presentation server to an internal table like below:
DATA : lv_filename type string.
lv_filename = 'C:\abap\Test.txt'. "I created a folder called abap under C:\
CALL method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_UPLOAD
EXPORTING
   FILENAME              = lv_filename
CHANGING
   DATA_TAB            = lt_tsd. " lt_tab has the exact same fields as the Test.txt's. Test.txt has only one line, tab delimited.
When running this code, exception BAD_DATA_FORMAT is issued.
Is it because of the file encoding or delimiter or other reason?
Thanks,
Yang

Hello,
If its tab delimited then use the has_field_seperator parameter and check
DATA : lv_filename type string.
lv_filename = 'C:\abap\Test.txt'. "I created a folder called abap under C:\
CALL method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_UPLOAD
EXPORTING
   FILENAME                = lv_filename
   FILETYPE                 = 'ASC'
   HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR          = u2018Xu2019
CHANGING
   DATA_TAB            = lt_tsd.

Possible to change date format when importing files into Aperture 3

Just wondering if it is possible to change the format of the date from YYYY-MM-DD to YYYYMMDD when you rename files as they are imported into Aperture 3? I typically rename my files and insert my initials, date the photo was taken, sequence number, camera used and original file name. When I do this in Aperture 3, the date format used includes dashes. I would like to have the file renamed without the dashes in the date. Is this possible?

You should be able to edit the format in the import presets. I have done this for folder stucture of imports, I believe you can do the same for the file renaming. At the bottom of the drop down box for file naming at improt should be an edit option which brings up the import naming presets, select the "YYYY-MM-DD" and remove the dashes.

Date format when printing Maintenance Order

Dear Colleagues
When I print a Work Order, I'm getting the date format as DD-MM-YYYY
I know that I can change this format in the User Parameters, however I need to modify a huge number of users.
Question 1) Is there a way to setup the date format independent of the user parameters?
Question 2) I'd like to have the date like this: JAN-01-2010. But I don't have this option in the User Parameters. Do you know how can I do it?
Thank you for your help

Davison,
Its not possible using user settings. All you would need to do is copy the SAP SCRIPTForm program(You can keep the Print program as such) and set date mask as required in SAP script text editor using command
/: SET DATE MASK = 'MMMM DD, YYYY'
Now the date variable value written out on the screen would be
&DATE& -> JAN 01, 2010
You could revert to standard settings using command
/: SET DATE MASK = ' '

Calculated members in Data Manager when run package

Hi All
Do you know why calculated members in C_ACCT dim (which has child and are calculated by hierarchy) are not available in data manager when I want to run package. I want copy this calculated members to another account by using script logic and run it by data manager.
Below is my script
*XDIM_MEMBERSET C_ACCT = IC_BSAS05
*WHEN ENTITY
*IS 1013
*REC(FACTOR=2,C_ACCT="ICX_BSCS02")
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
IC_BSAS05 is caclulated by hierarchy.
It works for non-calculated, please tell me if it is possible to run script also for calculated members.
Regards!

Hi Justyna,
When you say that IC_BSAS05 is "calculated by hierarchy" do you mean that IC_BSAS05 is hierarchy node?
If this is true then try replacing the first line of your script with
*XDIM_MEMBERSET C_ACCT = BAS(IC_BSAS05)

[11g] Date format when printing dashboard prompt

Hello,
i have a dashboard prompt with a between condition on a date format. When i display it on the dashboard, the format is perfect dd.mm.yyyy. But when i want to print the dashboard, the format is shown as yyyy-mm-dd. On the forum i found a hint about the localedefinitions.xml (Printer-friendly date format But there, the definition is ok
<property name="dateShortFormat">dd.MM.yyyy</property> // default short date format for locale
So, how can i change the format to dd.mm.yyyy when printing the dashboard. Any advice?
Thanks

Date format when submitting concurrent program

I am getting some odd behavior off of a new PC build when trying to submit a concurrent program. This occurs only on this PC. CPs using the PER_DATES_STANDARD value set will no longer accept the Oracle standard of '01-AUG-2011'. The following message displays:
Please enter date value 01-AUG-2011 in correct format: MM/DD/RRRR
I have looked at the 'Preferences' link in the Self Service area and also all of the 'DATE' profiles within Applications and I cannot find anything that would cause this. I even tried forcing a format for my user profile without success. Can anyone tell me where to change this format?
We are using Apps version 11.5.10.2.

Date Fields in Forms render like dd#mm#yyyy When Using Internet Explorer 8 [ID 1061707.1]
Thanks,
HusseinThanks to both of you for looking at this with me, here is what we found: the date format was dependent on how we logged into the Applications session. When logging in directly to the forms server bypassing the self-service page login, the date format within Applications was based on the OS format. When logging in through the self-service page, it was using the format specified in the Preferences link of the page. This is new behavior after our recent move to a secure https URL. Not sure why but we know the issue. I will look at those docs to see if they relate. Thanks again.This makes little sense - if this issue was linked to settings in Preferences, then the issue should be able to be replicated from any PC, not just a specific one.

Problem in Date Format when user chages the date format in preferences

I want to generalize my code so that user can change what ever Date format he wants, I will get the date from the page in the format yyyy-mm-dd, and if the Date Format is
set to MM/dd/yyyy in prefernces i need to use MM/dd/yyyy and if the Date Format is set to dd-Mon-yyyy in prefernces i need to use dd-MMM-yy, so my question is how to know what Date format is set in the preference so that i can have all the possible date format for inserting the date
Thanks
Babu

Babu,
The date format in OAF Pages is controlled by profile ICX: Date format mask.This profile can be set at site as well as user level for the individual users to set the Date format.
But I would advice not to go for setting different profile values at user level, because i remember some old threads, where seeded Oracle pages fail, as code their is not generalised to handle date formats.
If your are planning to have this in ur custom page, go ahead, but do check the entire flow is working fine for different values of this profile at user level.
