Date function in XSLT

Hi All,
I am trying to use date function in XSLT, I am using the below code, please correct me if i am wrong
<corecom:EffectiveDate>
<xsl:value-of select='xp20:format-dateTime(ns0:Segment-DTM/ns0:Element-373,"[YYYY][M01][D01]")'/>
</corecom:EffectiveDate>
Regards
Francis

Hi Francis,
It doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the code itself, but what's the content of ns0:Segment-DTM/ns0:Element-373 ???
The xp20:format-dateTime function will work if the date on the first parameter is on ISO 8601 format...
http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime
Examples
1994-11-05T08:15:30-05:00 corresponds to November 5, 1994, 8:15:30 am, US Eastern Standard Time.
1994-11-05T13:15:30Z corresponds to the same instant.
Cheers,
Vlad

  • Need milli seconds part in XSLT Date Function  current-dateTime()

    Hi All,
    I am calling date function, current-dateTime() in XSL. The output format is 2012-04-05T16:38:01-07:00 (Without milli seconds)
    How to get the milli seconds part...?
    Regards,
    Sudheer

    Hi Arik....
    At last i got it. :)
    Followed the below steps.
    Step1:
    Created a String variable "currentDateTimeValue" in BPEL.
    Step2:
    I have used the below code in JavaEmbedding in BPEL.
    java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat();
    //Date Pattern looks lil weird. But some Web service accepts only this format.
    sdf.applyPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'-00:00'");//2012-04-14T16:24:00.578-00:00
    String formattedDate = sdf.format(new java.util.Date());
    addAuditTrailEntry("Formatted datetime string is: " + formattedDate);
    setVariableData("currentDateTimeValue", formattedDate);
    Step3:
    Created a Simple XSD with an element "DateElement" of String type.
    Step4:
    Assigned "currentDateTimeValue" value to "DateElement" element, in Assign activity.
    Step5:
    Now added this DateElement in Transformation activity, as a second source variable. Mapped this data to the required target element in my XSL.
    uh-huh I got the output...
    Thanks a ton ARIK :D u r really helpful...

  • Data Federator Universe Date Functions

    Hi,
    I created a Data Federator Universe from target tables (Source Tables from: Sql Server 2005 and Oracle 10g). Now, I want to create a object in the universe: "Days between 2 dates"(coming from 2 different target tables). I don't see any other date functions other than CURDATE(). How to create my object?
    Alternatively, Can I create a caliculated column in the existing target table? For Example, I want to create a new column "Days between 2 Dates" from 2 different tables by using a formula in Default mapping of the target table.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Peter

    Hi Amit,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Ok. So, Universe on top of Data Federator has limited functionality.
    And, other option you mentioned is on report level. I am creating an adhoc universe and I have few objects which will calculate days between 2 dates coming from 2 different tables.
    But, how can I achieve this on Data Federator level. I have no function there to find Days Between 2 dates. I see lot of time and date functions but not the one I required. Also, I added a column in the target table and tried to apply the formula there in the default mapping area. But, I see only the selected target table. I need another date column from another table, which is not displayed in the default mapping area.
    How can I achieve this?

  • Problem overloading "set data" function on Button DataGrid Renderer

    Hi all, I'm hoping this is something simple.
    I have a class that extends mx.controls.Button and implements mx.core.IDataRenderer.  I need to set the button icon whenever the Data property is set from the DataGrid.  My problem is that my overloaded set/get Data function are never called (I've stepped through the code in debug).  Instead the set/get functions in Container.as (Flex 3.4 SDK) get called.
    Here's the basics code:
    exportButtonRenderer.as
    package controls
        import flash.events.Event;
        import flash.events.MouseEvent;
        import mx.controls.Button;   
        import mx.core.IDataRenderer;
        import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridListData;   
        import mx.controls.listClasses.BaseListData;
        import mx.events.FlexEvent;
        import mx.controls.Alert;
        import model.descriptors.compDescriptor;
        import events.exportClickedEvent;   
        public class exportButtonRenderer extends Button implements IDataRenderer   
            //    embed your icons
            [Embed(source='/assets/icons/export.png')]
            [Bindable]
            public static var imageExport:Class;
            [Embed(source='/assets/icons/blank.png')]
            [Bindable]
            public static var imageBlank:Class;
            public function exportButtonRenderer()
                super();
            private var _listData:DataGridListData;
            override public function get listData():BaseListData
                return _listData;
            override public function set listData(value:BaseListData):void
                _listData = DataGridListData(value);
            private var _data:Object;       
            override public function get data():Object
                return _data;
            override public function set data(value:Object):void
                _data = value;
            override protected function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
                super.clickHandler(event);   
    Now I know I'm using the Flexlib TreeGrid and not a standard DataGrid but when I trace through all the code all code firing the set/get functions is coming from the DataGrid anyway.
    Here's the my Grid def in my main app mxml:
    Header 1
    <flexlib:TreeGrid
            id="MKTXGrid"
            dragEnabled="false" sortableColumns="false" showRoot="false"

            disclosureOpenIcon="@Embed(source='/assets/icons/arrow_down.png')"
            folderOpenIcon="@Embed(source='/assets/icons/psd.png')"
            folderClosedIcon="@Embed(source='/assets/icons/psd.png')"       
            click="MKTXGrid_clickHandler(event)"
             doubleClickEnabled="true" doubleClick="MKTXGrid_doubleClickHandler(event)" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="16">
        <flexlib:columns>
                <flexlib:TreeGridColumn dataField="Name" headerText = "Name" minWidth="200" width="200" editable="true"/>
                <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="ExportName" headerText = "Export Name"/>
                <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="Export" headerText = "Export" width="50" minWidth="20" resizable="false">
                 <mx:itemRenderer>
                    <mx:Component>

                                <controls:click>
                                    <![CDATA[
                                        import events.exportClickedEvent;
                                        var e:exportClickedEvent = new exportClickedEvent();
                                        e.itemData = data;
                                        dispatchEvent(e);
                                    ]]>
                                </controls:click>
                            </controls:exportButtonRenderer>
                        </mx:Box>
                    </mx:Component>
                </mx:itemRenderer>
                </mx:DataGridColumn>
            </flexlib:columns>
        </flexlib:TreeGrid>
    Nothing too special going on.
    I know this can be done, I've seen examples in the SDK:
    http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/durango/trunk/ExternalFlexTools/com/dougmccune/ containers/accordionClasses/AccordionHeader.as
    By the way I've stepped through the code of the TreeGridItemRenderer class in Flexlib which works correctly and the class def starts like this:
    TreeGridItemRenderer.as
    import flash.display.DisplayObject;
    import flash.display.InteractiveObject;
    import flash.display.Shape;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.geom.Point;
    import flash.geom.Rectangle;
    import flexlib.controls.TreeGrid;
    import mx.controls.Image;
    import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridListData;
    import mx.controls.listClasses.BaseListData;
    import mx.controls.listClasses.IDropInListItemRenderer;
    import mx.controls.listClasses.IListItemRenderer;
    import mx.core.IDataRenderer;
    import mx.core.IFlexDisplayObject;
    import mx.core.IToolTip;
    import mx.core.SpriteAsset;
    import mx.core.UIComponent;
    import mx.core.UITextField;
    import mx.events.FlexEvent;
    import mx.events.ToolTipEvent;
    import mx.events.TreeEvent;
    import mx.managers.ILayoutManagerClient;
    import mx.styles.IStyleClient;
    public class TreeGridItemRenderer extends UIComponent
                                      implements IDataRenderer,
                                                   IDropInListItemRenderer,
                                                 ILayoutManagerClient,
                                                   IListItemRenderer
    Any help would be great!

    That's because you put your component in a Box.  The DataGrid is setting the Box's .data property and no code is setting the one on your component.  You shouldn't really need Box.  You can override updateDisplayList to center your Button instead.

  • Help with Date function in sql query....

    My question I guess is really 2...I'm trying to use the date function as a comparison in my WHERE clause in my sql command.
    1. My date format is dd-MMM-yy eg. (01-Apr-06) ... my problem is the Apr is lower case where my field in the database is 01-APR-06 so when I compare 01-Apr-06 to 01-APR-06 is doesnt find any rows. Is there away that I can make the Apr all upper case so that it is APR.
    2. My second problem is getting this "date" field to work in my sql stmt I keep getting errors and it works fine if I take my attempts at trying to compare the date.
    --------------Date Code----------------------------------------------------------
    <%!
    String getFormattedDate(java.util.Date d)
    SimpleDateFormat simpleDate = new SimpleDateFormat("01-MMM-yy");
    return simpleDate.format(d);
    %>
    <%
    java.util.Date d = new java.util.Date();
    String dateString = getFormattedDate (d);
    %>
    ---------------------------Sql statment------------------------------------------
    ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery ("SELECT name " + " FROM table where rdate = '01-APR-06' order by name ");
    Currently Im just hard coding the date but I need to make it so it uses the date code...so....
    rdate should equal the date from the formatted date in upper case
    something like
    rdate = <%= dateString %>
    Thanks in advance for any ideas anyone may have...

    There are sql functions upper & lower.
    SELECT name  FROM table where upper(rdate) = '01-APR-06' order by name Or you could convert the date to a string, and use the toUpperCase & toLowerCase java.lang.String methods. It doesn't make much of a difference--do you want the java compiler to do the string conversion or the database?

  • How to  use data function using characterstics variable for calculation on

    how to  use data function using characterstics variable for calculation on  attribute as key figure

    Hi Gayatri
    Did you not see my answer for CASE because CASE does indeed offer the use of the BETWEEN clause, but DECODE does not. Let me give you a little synopsis of DECODE.
    In its most simple form it takes 4 values and looks like this: DECODE(A, B, C, D)
    This essentially means, IF A = B THEN C ELSE D
    The trick to solving BETWEEN in a DECODE is to work out algoriths where A = B. Because we don't know how many values are between 00 and 99, although I could guess there were 100 we could of course have 100 parts in the DECODE but that would be awful. How about if we look at it another way and say this:
    IF PART_NUMBER < 'SDK00' THEN pay_amount
    ELSE IF PART_NUMBER > 'SDK99' THEN pay_AMOUNT
    ELSE pay_amount + 100
    This statement only had 2 hard coded values, but how to make DECODE work with less than? Easy, we use the LEAST function. The LEAST function takes 2 values and returns the one with the lowest value. So I use LEAST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK00') then whenever the PART_NUMBER is lower than SDK00 it will be true. A similar situation exists for the opposite function GREATEST. Putting all of this together then, you can do this:
    DECODE(PART_NUMBER, GREATEST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK00'), DECODE(PART_NUMBER, LEAST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK99'), PAY_AMOUNT * 100, PAY_AMOUNT), PAY_AMOUNT)
    In English this can be read as follows:
    IF the PART_NUMBER is greater than or equal to SDK00 and the PART_NUMBER is less than or equal to SDK99 THEN PAY_AMOUNT x 100 ELSE 0
    Best wishes

  • Using Translate() function of XSLT ...

    Hi guys
    I have an xml document that i am converting into an html document using XSLT. I need to replace the XML new lines(&#10) with html new lines (<br>) while the xslt transform takes place on my xml document.
    For this I have found the translate function of XSLT but I need to use it on a specific tag and not all the tags in the xml document.
    <ExampleTag>
    1 first line
    2 second line
    3 third line
    </ExampleTag>
    translate(string, replaced_text, replacement_text)
    so I need to get my tags value in the variable string which is:
    1 first line
    2 second line
    3 third line
    and replaced_text: '&#10' and replacement_text: '<br>'
    but the problem is XSLT syntax is so bad that i just cant devote enough time to learn it. Any suggestions for the syntax guys?? an example would be extremely useful.
    cheers :)

    Hey
    after a bit of struggle came up with this:
    <xsl:template match="ExampleTag">
    <xsl:variable name="string" select="."> </xsl:variable>
    translate(string, "&#10", "</br>" )
    <xsl:value-of select="$string"/>
    </xsl:template>
    but its not working :(
    any suggestions??

  • Trunc date function not working correctly

    Hi,
    Another quick question if people don't mind. Bit confused about the trunc date function. I'm following the sql fundamentals exam guide and using their examples:
    select trunc(to_date('02-jun-2009 13:00','dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi')) day from dual;
    this returns the 2nd of june, as it should, because, as far as i'm aware, leaving the optional variable out defaults the precision to 'day'. but when i explicitly add the variable 'day', as the guide has done with 'week' 'month' and 'year' in the following examples (so i assume this format is correct rather than dd/mon/yyyy), something goes wrong:
    select trunc(to_date('02-jun-2009 13:00','dd-mon-yyyy' hh24:mi'), 'day') day from dual;
    this returns the 31st of may. which is incorrect.
    however replacing 'day' with 'dd' provides the correct answer of the 2nd again.
    this isn't a major issue, it just bothers me that the guide seems (again) to be mistaken, something that is rapidly becoming a trend in their examples. i'd also quite like to know why this is happening, as it will help improve my understanding of sql in general - perhaps there is some sort of default to allow the correct use of the variable 'day' i'm overlooking and that the guide hasn't made clear.
    btw, i'm working in sqlplus - although developer has some odd results too.
    thanks alot,
    nick

    nick'day' doesn't trunc to the beginning of the day. It truncates to the first day of the week: in your case 31st May.
    'ddd' truncates to the beginning of the day.
    So, leaving the second parameter out defaults to 'ddd' not 'day'.

  • Javascript Date() function not working

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing some problems with the Date() function in javascript. The problem is that the function doesn't seem to work. For example when I do "var date = new Date(); xfa.host.messageBox(date);" in the enter event of a date field, I get "Date is not a function" error message in de javascript debugger.
    Is there anyone out there who knows how why the Date function is not working in LiveCycle Designer. Am I using the Date function in an improper way or maybe I am using the wrong function?
    Please can anyone help me out?

    Hi Paul,
    Thanx for you reply. It worked fine.
    I also found out that following works as well:
    var MyDate = util.scand("dd-mm-yyyy",new Date());
    console.println("this date: "+util.printd("dd-mm-yyyy", MyDate));
