Date format within smartforms printing

Hello,
I have an issue regarding date format.
When I print a delivery note date format is e.g. 08.04.2011, printing an invoice it shows 04-08-2011.
It seems that depending on the customers country the invoice printing converts to date format within country settings
(V_T005-DATFM) while delivery form doesn't.
If I always want to print in date format of sales company what should I do?
Thanks a lot,
Wolfi.

I guess, it should work if you define
/: SET COUNTRY &country_key&
in the Initialization section of your smartform.
Note: The country-dependent formatting options are stored in the T005X table.

SaiRam

Date Formating in smartforms

Hi,
Guys i have a doubt in smartforms.i.e .i want to change the format of date within smartform not in print program.

Inside smartforms where to write code for call FM and formatting and all?
If i call FM inside smartforms it'll work? .that means where i have to call and format? Please help me..
Regards,
Nandha..

HI,
you can write the code as you want in the Smartform,
Just create <b>Program lines</b> then call the Function module, so you input will be 9 character field and the output will be 16 Character field.
In the Program lines window, just give Input Parameter is 9 character field and the output parameter is 16 Character field, so this 16 Character field will be available for you in the Smartform, so you can use this and Print this anywhere
Hope you got it..

Date Format in Check Printed from F110

Hi,
I'm on 4.6C.
Company: US10 (United states local configuration)
I'm doing the check printing thru Tcode F110 and for printing we are using program RFFOUS_C. Earlier we were getting date format as MM.DD.YYYY but if vendor is form Spain (I'm not sure) I have started getting format as DD/MM/YYYY.
Why?. Should I change vendor's country to US on Tcode FK03?
I have checked the user setting (Tcode SU3) of the person who did the printing, in that also the date format is MM.DD.YYYY.
A lot of thanks in advance.
Best Regards,

Hi Sid,
Thanks for your quick answer.
My Date's fields in RFFOUS_C are: &REGUH-ZALDT& and &REGUP-BldAT&
/: SET DATE MASK = 'MM.DD.YYYY'
OR
/: SET REGUH-ZALDT MASK = 'MM.DD.YYYY' ????
I must set date mask in every window??
a lot of thanks in advance.
best regards

Non US date format within Workspace and Guides

Is is possible to change the date format displayed within the workspace and Guides to a non US date format?
This really is a show stopper for us as our standard date format is DD/MM/YYYY and the forms won't be usable for our staff if they are not in this format.

For Workspace, the date format strings are provided in the localized resource swfs so if you need to change them, can either update the resource swf in question, or possibly provide a new one for the locale you really want to service. The shipping english swf is named workspace_rb_en_US.swf so maybe you want to provide another one with a different en_XX suffix. The Workspace source is shipped with the product and I think the Customizing Workspace doc explains how to do this. The ES2 version of the doc may not be ready yet, but the ES version should explain the concepts. You may need a hotfix to get the proper ant scripts to build it, but you would have to check with support on this.

Date format changed while printing invoice

Dear All,
Since yestardayin production server the date format of invoice is like 12.02.2010,but form morning it is comming like 2010.02.12.
I have checked in quality and it is still comming like 12.02.2010.
Could you please tell me why is it comming?
Regards,
Amar

Dear Amar,
1 Check the user profile for default type od date value in production system and compare it with quality. If this is not as per the quality system then change it.
2 if both system quality and production both have same date format then you have to debug and find out the issue.
Hope you need not to go for second point.

Date format in PO printing.

We developed a abap program, I copy the form MEDRUCK to a new form ZMEDRUCK, in ZMEDRUCK, I want to display the PO date and delivery date.
All of these date is in format MM/DD/YYYY.
Now the buyers want see the delivery date in the format DD.MMM.YYYY, for example, 15.Feb.2007. I inserted a command SET DATE MASK = 'DD.MMM.YYYY' in main window, when I print it in ME22N, I can see the PO date has been changed to format DD.MMM.YYYY, but the delivery date is still in format MM/DD/YYYY, so I inserted the command SET DATE MASK = 'DD.MMM.YYYY' to the line before the the date display, the problem can not bed solved.
BTW, the delivery date fields is PEKKO-LFDAT, RM06P-LFDAT and DC_EINDT (generated by the report from field EKET-EINDT).
Best Regards,
Slash Jiang

Hi,
From what i understand the field RM06P-LFDAT is giving the isuue.
I had a similar problem in PO printout with scheduled quantity RM06P-PRMG1. The issue was that, the quantity was getting displayed as 2,000 for 2.00. The basis guy told me that, it can be altered via configuration, but for form printouts the configuration won't take effect.
I got that solved by running a sepearte query in a subroutine and fetching the concerend value from the table into a variable i defined.
I would advise u to test the same.

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 :-(

Date format in workflow email

Hi All,
I'm having issues with the date format within an automated WorkFlow email. For Leads, users in the UK are entering the 'call back date' field as '26/06/2009' and in the email it seems to base this on the server locale appearing as '06/26/2009'. Can we format this within the code?
Thanks
Oli @ Innoveer

I have just experienced this and used the following to convert the date to Australian format for my workflow email
%%%Mid([<IndexedDate0>],4,2) + '/' + Left([<IndexedDate0>],2) + Mid([<IndexedDate0>],6,Len([<IndexedDate0>]))%%%
this gives format DD/MM/YYYY
hope this helps,

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.

i want my date format to change based on where it is printed.
In SAPScripts there is a command SET COUNTRY.
Can I use this command for my requirement. If so How?

Hw can I generate XY graphs directly in a vector data format for printing ie pdf

A further question re. Printing of Graphs
There are many similar questions but none where the answers are acceptably adiquite or two or three were the link was broken,
"Developer exchange forums have been moved" and a pointer to the new
site, unfort it was hard to find or guess the rest of the link.
So here is my angle on this problem;
So far I have tried;
Using property node: "App. Printing.Default Printer" to select the printer to use, then
Using Report Functions to print controls;
New Report, to generate a new report reference
Set Report Orientation
Set Report Margins
Set Report Font
Set Report Header Text
Set Report Font
Set Report Footer Text
loop for each page
Set Report Footer Text, With page number
Append Control Image to Report, several times
New Report Page
Until the end of the last page
Print Report
Dispose Report
Initially using existing XY-Graph controls from the front panel. These
are on a page of a Tab control to hide these controls while not in use
and allow them to be hidden while generating the printout.
Unfortunately when this page is hidden any graph scales set to
autoscale don't, (normally don't need to and would otherwise be a waste
of processor time), resulting in graph plots going off scale or
becoming a line along the axis.
An issue is that what is printed appears to be read from the screen, so resolution is much
lower than required for for printing, resulting in rather pixellated
printed versions. These prints will usually be emailed, so tried the
pdf995 "printer driver" but the resulting pdf file size is rather large.
Currently trying Plot-XY on a much larger picture so as to get
adequate resolution for printing, however suspect this will result in
much larger pdf files and probably cause other problems.
The preferred solution in this case will probably be to generate print
output, instead of based on raster images (ie jpg or png), but on a
vector format, maybe via postscript or directly in pdf format.
Similar graphs currently printed from Excel via pdf995
(or OpenOffice) result in files around 20 kb per page. these can be printed at any size
(at least upto 64 times) without becoming pixellated, so assume these
are vector based.
Currently a page with 4 XY Graph controls uses around 40 to 45 kb per
page but resolution is poor and overcoming that may push file size up
to 150 to 200 kb per page, and the whole job can be 50 to 100 pages.
Are there any functions to generate XY graphs directly in a vector data format preferably in pdf or via PostScript format.
Cheers
Darryl

Hi Darryl,
I was able to reproduce the issue you were seeing, in which a report generation was taking up a large amount of space per page in a PDF utility. I found; however, using my attached VI (notice that it is set to *.png) and the CutePDF utility (free download at http://www.cutepdf.com/) I was able to get a per page size of about 10 KB. Also using the png I found that the image quality seemed to be quite high.
Please try incorporating this solution into your application and see if it reduces your file sizes.
Thanks and have a good evening!
