Date Language in format fmDay, fmDD fmMonth, YYYY

Hello Apex People!
I'h showing a date column in a report.
How can I let the browser language decide, which language is used with
format fmDay, fmDD fmMonth, YYYY, so that for example a "german browser user" would see something like Sonntag, 12.11.2006, but an englisch user would see Sunday, 12.11.2006?
Thank you
Johann

You just need to alter the app in Globalisation to use Browser defined language. We have done this and it works a treat.

Hi,
In Windows Server 2008 R2, you can use Regional Options Extension in Group Policy Preferences to configure the date and

Date Picker (Application Format Mask) YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI

I am experience what appears to be a bug with the Date Picker (Application Format Mask) that is causing the "DD" portion of the format mask to be interpreted as "CC" (when using a YYYY-MM-DD Application format).
Within "Application Builder", "Edit Attributes" I have defined a "Static Substitution Strings" with the required Substitution String of PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK and a Substitution Value of "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI" (without the quotes).
When this is used within the application, and I select a date of "January 15, 2008 @ 23:14", the date picker gives me a date of "2008-01-20 23:14". If I were to change the Year to 1957, the date I get is "1957-01-19 23:14". Note that if the century is 20, no matter what day of the month I pick, I get DD=20. If the century is 19, the day of the month is always 19.
I have also tested this with a format of YYYY-DDD HH24:MI. With this format too, the DDD gets set to the century portion of the year.
DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI format does work, however this is not the format that my end users want to see. They want to see the format as "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI"
If I change the PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK to "YY-MM-DD HH24:MI" and pick "Feb 8, 1977" I get "77-02-28" and if I pick "January 9, 1921" I get "21-01-31" which just happens to be the last day of the month in each of those case.
So, something really weird is happen with the "Application Format Mask" Date Picker.
Please note, that because of a known bug (relating to the translation of the Browser Language of "en-ca" to the propery NL_LANG of ENGLISH_CANADA) refer to
HTMLDB - HOWTO Work with Dates
I am executing the following code in my first "On Load - Before Header" and my first "On Submit - After Computations and Validations"
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT=''YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI''' ;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT=''FRENCH''' ;
Could you please investigate this problem.

Paul,
Thank you for the feedback and detailed reporting of this issue.
This is a previously identified bug with the computation of the day component of the popup calendar.
This correction will be available with the next HTML DB patch set and/or the release of HTML DB available later this year.
Thanks again.

How do I get the date format of MM/DD/YYYY to be recognized in Numbers?

I recently switched from Windows and Excel. All the bank details that I export from my bank have dates formatted as mm/dd/yyyy. Excel has no issues dealing with this but Numbers will not recognize the cell contents as a date. Any help?

I have similar problems with data copied & pasted from a banking web page into Numbers. I always first check to see that the cells are formatted as date & time, but that doesn't always fix the problem. The problem usually ends up being spaces before and/or after the numbers in a cell.

Converting Date Column to format MM/DD/YYYY in RPD

Hi all,
I have a requirement like converting a Date column to format MM/DD/YYYY in RPD. Any help as we are not supposed to use the BI Answers Data Fomat for showing this format.
Thankyou,

Hi Saichand,
I need the resulting column in DATE format only. The solution which you specified converts the datatype to character. Is there anyway to convert the format but not the datatype.

How to convert JAVA.SQL.DATE date in YYYY/MM/DD format into DD/MM/YYYY

i am using informix database which accepts date value in the form of DATE format......
the other part of my application takes date from the field in DD/MM/YYYY format...so i have to convert my java.sql.date in YYYY/MM/DD fromat into DD/MM/YYYY fromat of same type before inserting into db......
but using parse method in SimpleDateFormat class can get the result only in java.util.date format...
and also using format method can result only in string conversion........

Maybe you mean Informix (fronted by JDBC) expects date values as java.sql.Date objects?
the other part of my application takes date from the field in DD/MM/YYYY format...
so i have to convert my java.sql.date in YYYY/MM/DD format into DD/MM/YYYY format of same type before inserting into db......I am not sure why you are talking about formats here.
There is no formatting inherent in a java.util.Date object
nor in a java.sql.Date object.
but using parse method in SimpleDateFormat class can get the result only in java.util.date format...
and also using format method can result only in string conversion........You can easily create a java.sql.Date object from a java.util.Date object.
String s = "31/12/2010";
java.util.Date ud = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").parse(s);
java.sql.Date sd = new java.sql.Date(ud.getTime());
ud = sd; // java.sql.Date extends java.util.Date so no conversion is needed

How to change data format from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY

HI,
How can we change data format from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY in Prompt and Report Level in obiee 11g.
Please help me ont this.
Thanks

Hi,
In Prompt:
Try using EVALUATE function.
Eg: Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'DD-MON-YYYY')
Report level:
Try this in the column formula-
Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'MM/DD/YYYY')
(or)
EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' AS CHARACTER ( 30 ), "Dim- Date".Start Date, 'MON-YY')

Display Date format problem - 'dd/mm/yyyy'

Hi All,
I want to display the date in this format dd/mm/yyyy. Below is the code which i declared in the JSPX.
<af:selectInputDate value="#{bindings.poRequestedDateH.inputValue}" id="poRequestedDateH" required="true"
binding="#{backing_POMasterDetail.poRequestedDateH}"
validator="#{backing_POMasterDetail.assignedDateValidator}">
<af:validator binding="#{bindings.poRequestedDateH.validator}"/>
<af:convertDateTime pattern='dd/mm/yyyy'/>
</af:selectInputDate>
but when i select the date from the component its displaying like this .
For Example : "09/47/2008", if i reload the page again and selecting the date its displaying some junk values in month column.
Please anyone help me to fix the problem.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Vimalan,
I just replied to the comment you posted on my blog:
"How To Specify a Second Date Pattern in ConvertDateTime"
http://blogs.oracle.com/Didier/2007/02/01#a213
Your pattern is incorrect.
In 'dd/mm/yyyy', 'mm' represents the minutes, not the months, represented by 'MM'.
You can check it with the following pattern: "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss" that will display the months and the minutes:
f.ex. "16/04/2008 16:47:08"
So just change your pattern to "dd/MM/yyyy" and it will work.
Please note that my blog was about adding a second pattern to convertDateTime.
If your aim is to use one (and only one) pattern "dd/MM/yyyy", I would specify it at the ADF Business Components level, in the "Control Hints" tab of the date attribute, in "Format".
Regards,
Didier.

Convert the date of string to datetime format 'MM/dd/yyyy' when the system date format is 'dd/MM/yyyy'.

I need convert the date of string format 'MM/dd/yyyy' to datetime format 'MM/dd/yyyy' when the system date format is 'dd/MM/yyyy'.Since
I need to search values based on date where my database datetime is 'MM/dd/yyyy' format.

In my opinion you should re-consider the assumption that the date picker returns a string. Maybe it is able to return a
DateTime object directly instead of string. Then you will pass this value as a parameter of SQL query. This should work regardless of computer configuration.
Otherwise, follow the previous string-based approaches.

Format the date in varchar type to mm/dd/yyyy

Hi,
I have a column originally in date format. Later on, I changed it to nvarchar and all the existing date changed to this format "yyyy-mm-dd 00:00:00". How could I update all those dates to mm/dd/yyyy format. Should I use the expression?
Thanks.

I would highly recommend you change it back to a date/time type as this is what you are storing.
MS Sql Server has MANY ways to return dates and times formatted as you want so depending on what you want to see and how you want to see it having the data as date time is infinity better. Case in point is your current predicament.
Sorting and filtering and comparisons on date/time types is more efficient and less error prone
Date/time types already have built in validation, trying to enter a date of february 30 is not possible or 27 hours etc.
You can execute date/time functions like adding a year or subtracting a month which is very useful when you start to make use of the dates/times
Writing code against databases where dates/times are stored as strings is a horrible experience that I do not wish on anyone!
I currently have to maintain a DB that was originally created by my predecessor with date and times everywhere as varchar and it is a nightmare, Don't Do It especially if you have the chance now to revert back!!! :)
