Date/Time Questions

Hi, I'm a new Java programmer.
I need to format a date/time variable from sql server into two string objects. One string object storing the date and the other storing the time.
I've tried using the Date class and DateFormat class, but I haven't found a way yet.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot,
louis

You could try something like this:
Date dateAndTime = /* read date from sql server */;
DateFormat dateOnly = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
DateFormat timeOnly = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
String dateString = dateOnly.format(dateAndTime);
String timeString = timeOnly.format(dateAndTime);

Insert Date & Time question

Does anyone know if there is a way to DESELECT the "Automatically update the date and time when the document is opened" dialog?
Thanks.
Paul

The only way I can see is to create your own template with this unchecked. Then, when you open this template, auto date & time should be unchecked.
It would be nice if this were a global preference. I suggest you leave feedback for the Pages team.

Date + Time question updating to a DATE field..

Hi,
I'm going crazy...
MEETING_DATE is a DATE column in the DB
:P40_MEETING_DATE is a TEXT FIELD with source MEETING_DATE
:P40_MEETING_DATE:=to_char(to_date('02-OCT-2006 09:14:45 PM','DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS PM'),'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS');
Ultimately I need to have :P40_MEETING_DATE a date picker and then
add a character string of a time to it.
:P40_MEETING_DATE:=to_date(to_char(:P40_MEETING_DATE,'date picker format?')||' '||:P40_START_TIME,'date picker format?');
I get all kinds of errors ORA-01858 errors.. non- numeric errors.. invalid month errors..
Bill

You are right, sorry about that.
I thought about sneaking a On Submit - After Computations and Validations process in there before the Process Row process like this:
:P216_X := TO_DATE( TRUNC( TO_DATE( :P216_X, 'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI' ) ) || ' ' || :P216_TIME, 'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI' );but that's probably the same thing you tried before.
I would just turn it into a procedure and pass the parameters...;)
I hope someone can get your going in the right direction.

Simple Date/Time Question

ok so I can print out the date and time when i run the program.
How would I write a method that updated the clock every second, kinda like a digital watch. would I just use a while loop? or does java have an actual running clock?
Here is the code I have so far:
import java.util.Date;
public class DateTime
     Date now = new Date();
     public DateTime()
          System.out.println(now);
      public static void main(String[] args)
           DateTime run = new DateTime();
}

import java.util.Date;
public class DateTime
     Date now = new Date();
     public DateTime()
     {while(true){
          System.out.println(now);now = new Date();
Thread.sleep(1000);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          DateTime run = new DateTime();
I modified your code a bit better do this in a different thread though if you plan to use a GUI

Another DATE/TIME question

HI all
I am trying to INSERT INTO TABLE a date and time into one line..
excerpt looks like
CREATE TABLE Test
(Submit DATE );
INSERT INTO Test
VALUES(to_date('2001-01-02 22:23:00','yyyy-mm-ss hh24:mi:ss'));
I get an error message that says it's missing a comma (and I can't figure out WHERE). I have tried quotes in different places etc...Is it not possible to put a date and a time in the same slot?
Thanks in advance

Try this...
SQL> create table mytest (submitted date);
Table created.
SQL> desc mytest
Name Null? Type
SUBMITTED DATE
SQL> insert into mytest
2 (SUBMITTED)
3 values
4 (to_date('2001-01-02 22:23:00','yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'));
1 row created.
SQL> select * from mytest;
SUBMITTED

Newbie: Date time question

I want to store a date and time into the same column. But I do not know the syntax to do it and to select it.
Can anyone help me?

Oracle should store this anyway - all you need to do to see this is to set the nls_date_format for the session you are using to 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'

Date/Time Question - Milliseconds

How can I get the number of milliseconds after the 1970... from a date?
Is there such a method in the API? I looked at the DateFormat and NumberFormat classes but I didn't find it... Is there a way a to do this?
I want to be able to give a date and get back the number of milliseconds past the 1970 thing...
Thanx

DrClap has a good solution. Here is another twist:
// Do this
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date start = formatter.parse("01/01/1970");
// Or do this
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
Calendar.set(1970, Calendar.JANUARY, 1);
Date start = calendar.getTime();
return (new Date().getTime() - start.getTime());- Saish

Adding Date/Time Field + X Number of Days - Basic Calculation Question

I am assuming this is a basic calculation question. New to Adobe LiveCycle Forms.
I have a simple form containing a table. The table appears as such:
Text
Formatted as Date/Time Fields
Header 3
Monday
user wil choose the beginning date (Date/Time) this is DateTimeField1
Tuesday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 1
Wednesday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 2
Thursday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 3
Friday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 4
Saturday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 5
Sunday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 6
Calculations are performed after the date is chosen for Monday. My mind tells me the simple calculation of DateTimeField1 + 1 is not going to work (and in fact doesn't!) as it needs to change Monday to a number first. I saw on another thread the following:
Num2Date(Date2Num(Date(DateTimeField1), "DD.MM.YYYY")+7, "DD.MM.YYYY")
Thought this was going to get me close. No cigars though!
Any quick help is greatly appreciated. And since I am new to this, details about what needs to be changed would be great too!
Thanks

Here an addition for you date field.
This FormCalc script in the exit:Event will check it the selected date is on a monday.
If not it will go the days back until the last monday.
var Selection = Date2Num($.formattedValue, DateFmt(2))
var WeekDay = Num2Date(Selection, "E")
var NewDate
if (WeekDay eq 1) then
          NewDate = Selection - 6
elseif (WeekDay eq 3) then
          NewDate = Selection - 1
elseif (WeekDay eq 4) then
          NewDate = Selection - 2
elseif (WeekDay eq 5) then
          NewDate = Selection - 3
elseif (WeekDay eq 6) then
          NewDate = Selection - 4
elseif (WeekDay eq 7) then
          NewDate = Selection - 5
else
          NewDate = Selection
endif
$ = Num2Date(NewDate, "EEE DD.MM.YYYY")
Hope this helps, too.

Question on date, time and time stamp related - high priority

Hi friends,
My requirement is to find the processing time (time taken) of a task done by an agent in wf. For that I use Start Date, Start Time, End Date and End Time ( from struc SWP_LOGTAB ). I have to display the time taken by an agent in the form WWd XXh YYm (or WWd XXh YYm ZZs) ex: 2d 10h 40m 20s.
Can any one suggest me the right FMs which take start and end date/time and give me the above format result?
This can be achieved manually with unnecessary Ifs and CASEs but its gonna be a performance issue. Please suggest me something SAP standard.
Thanks in advace for your help

Hi,
I don't find any function module, but it does'nt really hard to code this using DIV and MOD instructions :
If you've got your time in seconds :
w_day = w_time DIV 86400.
w_mod = w_time MOD 86400.
w_hour = w_mod DIV 3600.
w_mod = w_mod MOD 3600.
It doesn't seem too bad in term of performance....

Adobe LiveCycle Date/Time Field Scripting Question

I have a date/time field in Livecycle which the end user chooses a random date from. I need to populate a date 180 days from this date for an eligible to date/time field. I have tried various javascript and formcalc options with no success.

Try this site here for a reference: http://eslifeline.wordpress.com/2008/09/26/date-manipulation/
The following was the use case. A form has 2 TextFields Start_Date and End_date
User enters a certain date in the Start_Date text field for example 09/24/08 (MM/DD/YY)
The End_Date should add 90 days to the Start_date and populate the End_Date
The following script would do that
var current = Date2Num(Start_Date.rawValue, “MM/DD/YY”)
var future = current+90
var newDate = Num2Date(future,”MM/DD/YY”)
form1.#subform[0].End_Date.rawValue = newDate
Validating End Date is later than Start Date
var diff = Date2Num(EndingDate.rawValue, “YYYY-MM-DD”) – Date2Num(StartingDate.rawValue, “YYYY-MM-DD”)
if (diff > 0) then
xfa.host.messageBox(“The End date is later than start date”)
else
xfa.host.messageBox(“PLEASE CHECK….The End date is before the start date”)
endif

Time Zone Offset - Date Format question

I'm wondering if any one knows how to display the time zone offset of a date in the following format "[+-]HH:mm." More so... I need the date/time in the ISO 8601 format "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss[+-]HH:mm", where the last [+-]HH:mm is the hour representation of the offset. Here's some sample code...
SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");
Calendar rightnow= Calendar.getInstance();
// So if system date/time is February 14, 2002 at 1:15:00 PM EST, this would produce "2002-02-14T13:15:00"
System.out.println("Current Datetime" + sdf1.format rightnow.getTime());
How can I get the timezone offset appended to my output in a [+-]HH:mm format. So, the above date needs to look like "2002-02-14T13:15:00-05:00". I can get the offset in milliseconds by doing the following:
int offset1 = rightnow.get(rightnow.ZONE_OFFSET) + rightnow.get(rightnow.DST_OFFSET);
But how can you get this representation into the [+-]HH:mm format?
thanks in advance,
stophman

Try something like this:import java.text.* ;
import java.util.* ;
static public String formatISO8601(Calendar cal) {
     * create ISO 8601 formatter for Calendar objects
    MessageFormat iso8601 = new MessageFormat("{0,time}{1,number,+00;-00}:{2,number,00}") ;
    // need to shove a date formatter that is cognizant of the
    // calendar's time zone into the message formatter
    DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss") ;
    df.setTimeZone(cal.getTimeZone()) ;
    iso8601.setFormat(0, df) ;
     * calculate the time zone offset from UTC in hours and minutes at the current time
    long zoneOff = cal.get(Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET) + cal.get(Calendar.DST_OFFSET) ;
    zoneOff /= 60000L ; // in minutes
    int zoneHrs = (int) (zoneOff / 60L) ;
    int zoneMins = (int) (zoneOff % 60L) ;
    if (zoneMins < 0) zoneMins = -zoneMins ;
    return (iso8601.format(new Object[] {
                                cal.getTime(),
                                new Integer(zoneHrs),
                                new Integer(zoneMins)
}

Hi
I will refer you to use SWWIHEAD table to retrieve start date and End Date of a Task. You have to write aprogram for this. You can find out the task from the field TS94000083 from WI_RH_TASK.
<b>Please provide points if useful</b>

Date/time theme, and audio question

I have a video about 45 min long. I have dragged the date/time theme to each thumbnail section, but sometimes it won't allow me to drop it into the whole thumbnail, only a part of it. Is there a fix?
Also, can you drop the date/time theme into the whole video, without having to do each thumbnail?
How do I transfer my video to a dvd without sound?
Thanks!

Have you tried dragging the left handle (and dragging to the left) or the right handle) and (dragging to the right) to lengthen the Title?
You must do titles one at a time.
How do I transfer my video to a dvd without sound?
You can set the volume for a clip by clicking on the inspector icon for the clip (looks like a little gear inside the clip). Select Audio Adjustments. And move the volume slider to zero.
If you want to do this for all clips, select the clip you just adjusted and click, EDIT/COPY.
Now click EDIT/SELECT ALL.
Finally click EDIT/PASTE ADJUSTMENTS/AUDIO.

Date / Time stored as Number(22,0) question

I've been working with a database (i'm not the author) who's date/time stamp is stored as a number(22,0) within the database.
I need pull out the date and convert. It appears to be an 18 character number. Is there a method, stored procedures, function, etc. that will conver this to a date that I'm overlooking?
Example:
129744082444876330
thanks,

Sounds like Unix time. Easily handled using a (deterministic) user defined PL/SQL function, or native SQL (if performance is of concern).

How to cell register the date/time when you put a value in another cell

Hello guys!
How do I get a cell (eg A2) tell the date and time when I put a value in another cell (eg A1) in Numbers?
For example, I want to register a cell to read my electricity meter.
I write in cell A1: 45809. When placing this value in A1, I want to appear (on A2) the date and time when I did that record automatically. Is it possible?
I hope you understood the question!
Thank you in advance to those who try to help.

There is not automatic time stamping of on entry of a time. One suggestion I've seen has a cell that has the current date and time. Everytime you cahnge any cell that cell will update. You can then copy that cell and paste the value into your date/time cell adjacent to the meter reading:
Create a new, plain table:
Now in cell A1 enter the formula "=now()" short hand for this is:
A1=now()
now resize the table so it is a table that is 1 cell by 1 cell by selecting any cell, then dragging the table size control in the bottom right corrner towards cell A1:
It should look like this when you have completed this task:
Now create another new, plain table and enter "Date" for cell A1, and "Meter Reading" for B1:
Now you can enter a meter reading (I entered "45671"). Now select the CELL that has current date and time from the first table at the very top, and copy:
Now select the cell in the date column where you want to put the current date and paste values by using the menu item "Edit > Paste Value":
