Rewards waiting for the right ans.

IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("Your Date attribute");
attributeInfo.getDataAttribute().getScalarType().format("dd/MM/yyyy");

How do you add a format to the "Date Picker Format Mask" available formats?

Hi,
When I select the Date Picker Format Mask or "Number / Date Format" they doen't have YYYYMMDD or others that may be desired...
How do you add a format to the available formats?
Thank you, Bill

Bill - From the popup help text:
If you need to create a Date Picker item, but the format you need does not appear in the Display As list, select Date Picker (use application format mask). When an application uses this type of date picker, the Application Express engine derives the date format from an item named PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK. You can populate this item in two ways:
- By defining an application substitution string named PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK
- By creating an application-level item named PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK
See the doc for more details.

Apex 4.2: Date picker & format mask number

Hello
In Apex 4.2, in a Date Item, how can I modify the date picker to set Monday as the start of week day? I can set Monday as the start of week day on a calendar, but not in a Date Item.
In a Number Item, there's no format mask to set the comma char as a decimal separator and the dot char as a thousand separator. How can I create a new format mask number?
Thank you.

for the Date Item, you can check this link, you have to call the process on the page load
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1313317/set-start-day-of-the-week-in-jquery-ui-datepicker
and for the Number format, there's a little trick involved, will try to explain
First of all convert you items from Number field to simple Textfield.
1. Write this in your items Post Calculation Computation: TO_CHAR (:item_name, '999G999G999G999G990D00', 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = '',.''')This will do the number formatting you want, but in oracle above format is not acceptable, so while submitting the above values to database we need to undo the changes for that you can use the below code.
2. Create a Computation "After Submit" for every item you did the above formatting and copy this code in it: replace(replace('1.00.00,00','.',''),',','.') for the 2nd step you can create a package/function which will get the items value as string and do the conversion as number using above code and return back the number.
This should help you.

Date Picker Format YYYYWW

Hi,
I need to make a calendar date picker return a date in
YYYYWW format. I already tried to use an application format mask with no success. Any Ideas ?
thanks in advance,
pedro

please feel free to tell us specifically what "no success" means for you. i'm able to have my datepickers return YYYYWW values w/o issues. if you're using your datepicker in an update form, though, know that your WW format code will cause problems there. when you use a datepicker item, it's doing a to_date on your value at one point. if that value contains a WW format date value in there you'll hit a ORA-01820. it's the same error you'd get if you did a select to_date('200426','YYYYWW') from dual. anyhow, datepickers using the application format mask, PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK, do support 'YYYYWW' format masks, but they won't work on update forms. i'll log an enhancement request for us to help with avoiding that issue for updates, but if your issue involves something else about using PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK, please do let us know.

Default Date Picker Format

I have several applications in one workspace. I need different default formats for date pickers.
Where in the application can I set the default format for the date picker.
Gus

Hi Gus,
you can set the default date format at application level. Go to Shared Components > Globalization Attributes and set "Application Date Format".

Default Value Date Picker Field

Hello:
In a detail tabular form I am referencing a date picker field from the master form as default value.
This is the situation in the detail form:
TABULAR FORM
Column Name: FECHAREGISTRO -- the field's name in the detail tabular form
Default Type: Item (application or page item name)
Default: P68_FECHAREGISTRO -- It's a field in the master form and also is Date Picker format
Reference Table Owner: SAMPEDRORIVEROS
Reference Table Name: BITACORAABOGADO
Reference Column Name: FECHAREGISTRO -- It's a date field in the database
At execution time I have the error:
report error:
ORA-01790: expression must have same datatype as corresponding expression
I think it is because i must use to_date and to_char in order to change the datatype and i have tried using:
Default: to_date(to_char(:P68_FECHAREGISTRO,'DD-MON-YYYY'),'DD-MON-YYYY')
and in Default Type: PL/SQL Expression or Function
but I get a different message at execution time:
report error:
ORA-01722: invalid number
Could you explain me what is the problem??
Thanks in advance.
Jairohernan

I don't think you need to do a to_char here
try
to_date(:P68_FECHAREGISTRO,'DD-MON-YYYY')

Display as Date Picker (DD-MON-YYYY)

Hi everyone,
can you please help me:
I want to change an item as Display as Date Picker (DD.MM.YYYY). I cannot find this mask.
Can you help me to change or can you tell me, where i could find an example?
Tahnk you and best regards
Siegwin

Note that changing the format of a Date Picker does not change the default database input/output date format. Meaning, the NLS_DATE_FORMAT (the default format used when selecting from, or writing to, the Oracle database) does not change when the date picker is changed.
The date picker format used should match the date format of the application. Meaning that if you retrieve a date from the database into a text field and it found to be in the YYYY-MM-DD format, then the date picker used should be in the YYYY-MM-DD format and if the date retrieved from the database is in the format DD-MON-RR then the Date Picker used should also be in that format.
The date picker is there to allow dates to be chosen from a calendar in a particular text format.
So, set your date picker to match your NLS DATE FORMAT setting.
Now, if you want to change the default input/output date format (which is likely your desired effect), then you want to start looking at the NLS settings in your database, the NLS settings in your DAD (reference Marvel.conf), and the NLS settings as they are affected by your Web browser Regional Settings (i.e. Language, territory). If this is the case, refer to the following postings:

Preselecting a default date on date picker

Hi
oracle 10g xe apex 2.1.x on windows xp
By default date picker always defaults to current date. I want it to default to a date value that has already been selected by the user in the current page. For eg. it will be a variable of the type :P1_report_date.
Is this possible?
Thanx
SR

I do something like:
Default Value: to_char(add_months(sysdate,-3),'DD-MON-RR')
Default Value Type: PL/SQL Expression
This gives me a date three months back from today in the date picker format. Of course you can modify to use the date picker format you are using.

Hide date picker button

Okay, I'm trying something different now. I am working on a different project now, and I saw a pretty cool date picker event that used JavaScript instead of the built in Apex date picker. Here's the code that makes it work:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.0/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" />
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load('jquery', '1.3.2');
google.load('jqueryui', '1.7.1');
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
$(document).ready(function(){
$.datepicker.setDefaults({
dateFormat: 'mm/dd/yy',
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
showOtherMonths: true,
showButtonPanel: true,
closeText: 'Close'
$('#P14_DISEASE_DT').datepicker();
//]]>
</script>
Now The only way I can get the Apex date picker button to disappear is to set it to a different type of field (text field namely), and it works correctly, except that is defaults the data to this format: DD-MON-YYYY. The system is using MM/DD/YYYY though. If I set the field back to a date picker format, it always displays correctly, but the calendar button still shows up. Is there anyway to just hide that button so that I can leave the format of the field as a date picker?
Thanks
Josh

Never mind. I am an idiot, I found a place lower in the field items that lets me set the format mask. Sorry for the trouble.

Problem with date format using date picker

In my application I provide to user ability to change date format. When using "MMM dd yyyy" format, the date picker paste to the inputbox something like "1111 07 2008" instead of "Nov 07 2008".
To set the date format I use the following code:
wdContext.nodeDateNode().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("date").getModifiableSimpleType().setFormat("MMM dd yyyy");
I know that is known bug of date picker. But there should be other way to implement this functionality. Isn't it?

Even the webdynpro date picker doesn't change according to the portal users country/locale, I tested with different countries for a portal user by changing in portal user profile.
Please help .

If you need use your format for all data pickers in your application you can set it via:
Go to
Shared components ->Definition->Globalization (Tab) -> Application Date Format SET to Mon DD,YYYY
and in the item Display as set "Data Picker (use ppplication format mask)"
If you need set format to some data picker you have to go to your data picker item and Display as set "Data Picker (use item format mask)"
and
Go to Source region in this item and set Format mask field Mon DD,YYYY

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.

Editable and Read-Only Date Picker have different display formats -- Bug?

Hi all,
This is a follow on to a previous posting about getting a Date Picker field to display read-only (Date Picker and Read-Only Condition works on LAST state of element
Now past that hurdle, I have noticed something about the date picker field when it is displays read-only. Namely, the date format is not the format selected, nor does the read-only date format comply with the format mask in the source section.
I've modified my small test app to work as intended in order to demonstrate this feature. I also opened it up so everyone can see it <blush>. You can find it here: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42513: Please navigate to the Update Project tab.
When a project in Program One through Four is selected (which has a Spec Committed date), the date is displayed DD-MON-YY format. When a project the other Programs (which do not have Spec Committed dates at the time of this writing) are selected, and a date value selected with the date picker, the date is displayed in the anticipated DD-MON-YYYY format.
Anyone else notice this, or have I just missed something obvious?
Thanks,
Petie

I'm not sure why this happens but to work around it I added this before header process code to the page:
execute immediate 'alter session set nls_date_format = ''DD-MON-YYYY''';

Hi DK,
It is a WD Java application, Backend is ABAP (MM module).
The UI is input field, where the context attribute type is Date, So its been changed to Date Picker.
The problem is when the user runs the WD application in Portal, The calendar format is being changed for some users. That is for few users the Week starts with Monday and for few users the week starts with Sunday.
I need all the users to have Monday as the First day of the week.
Please let me know, what will be solution for this.
Since I haven't done anything in regard to date, it is a simple Date format.
Thanks & Regards,
Palani
