Date TO_CHAR Formatting Issues

Hi Team,
I'm a newbie and this is my first post here so please bear with me. I'm having an issue with converting a date column to string using the TO_CHAR function. See below for a few examples:
ORACLE_DATE;     DATE_CHAR;     DUMP(ORACLE_DATE);
31-DEC-02;     0000-00-00 00:00:00;     Typ=12 Len=7: 100,100,1,0,1,1,1;
16-JAN-97;     1197-01-16 00:00:00;     Typ=12 Len=7: 111,197,1,16,1,1,1;
01-DEC-06;     0006-12-01 00:00:00;     Typ=12 Len=7: 100,106,12,1,1,1,1;
01-JUL-66;     1966-07-01 22:52:44;     Typ=12 Len=7: 119,166,7,1,23,53,45;
Is there any way I can determine what the actual date recorded is from the data provided?
Thanks

Hi Frank,
Here's what I understand about the data:
1. All dates should start past the year 1950. For this analysis I picked everything below year 1900 to start out with the low hanging fruit.
2. The date issue spreads across 30 total fields, 14 tables, with a total of 3,358 records of interest.
Please see below for a further data snippet: (thanks for the code update)

Do you think the issue could lie in the import process, or do you think it's a better bet that the data is corrupt?

Date time formatting issues!!!!

guys,
I am trying to format date and time in the same variable.
heres my code...
<cfset dtimes = LSDateFormat(now(),'YYYY-MM-DD
h:mm:ss')>
the problem is, that it gives me the year month and day
correctly.... the hour correctly, but where the minute is supposed
to go, it gives me the month again (which makes sense cuz obviously
its the same characters)... and then seconds are ok too. how do i
fix it so it gives me the correct minutes? Thanks in advance!!!!
JE

A limitation of CF functions there is not a single date &
time format
function you have to combine the two.
<cfset dtimes = LSDateFormat(now(),'YYYY-MM-DD') & ' '
LSTimeFormat(now(),'h:mm:ss')>

Export to PDF, Excel, Excel (Data Only) formatting issues

Hi Community
I have a report that consists of 5 subreports. Out of the 5 subreports, 3 of them have a similar format whereas the other 2 are different.
Iu2019m currently facing an issue whereby the exports to excel works fine, but excel (data only) has some alignment issues(i.e. the data appears below the correct columns). However, when the report is tweaked to make export to excel (data only) appear correctly, the export to excel had its data shifted out of alignment. There is no impact to pdf exporting at the moment.
Are there any people who are facing similar issues? Is there any resolution or workaround? I appreciate any help. Thanks.
FYI, the version of crystal reports is Crystal reports is Crystal reports 2008 and we are using the crystal report viewer interface to export into excel and pdf formats. The excel version is 2007.
Regards

DW, i've also run into issues with multiple sub reports. I resolved it by putting each sub report into it's own section, and then suppressing the sub report (Note, if ur trying to export subreport data to excel, I don't think its going to work. You'd need to create shared variables and then bring those sub report shared variables into your main report).
Once you bring your shared variables into the main report, suppress your sub reports, and then export to excel, you're still left with a dataset that has missing rows. This is ok. You can solve it easily within the excel file itself by sorting the data on a unique ID like Account #. This removes the extra rows.
Not the most elegant solution, but it works.

Date Prompt Format issue in OBIEE

Hi,
I am using a Date column in a Dashboard prompt. When i select a date in Calendar its showing up the Date in a correct format *'D/M/YYYY'*. But as soon as i click on GO button the format changes to *'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'*.
This format is passed to report and report throw an error *'A date value was expected (received "2010-01-26 00:00:00")'*.
I searched metalink and blogs and got a patch to resolve this issue. But still after running that patch i am getting the same error. None of the workarounds given are working.
Please respond if you have any solution for this.
Thanks
Swami

Hi,
What is the data format for the colum, you are comparing with the dashboard prompt, in the Answers request? Specify it to custom and use [FMT:dateShort] for Custom Date Format.
Thanks

CRS 2008 Web Services: Date parameter format issue

Hi All,
I have CRS 2008 installations (Dev environment and TEST environment) on two machine (both are on the build 12.1.0.882). I have a web application that runs crystal reports deployed to these servers using web services. On the DEV Server , the report works fine when the reports input parameters are formatted to mm/dd/yyyy format. But TEST server (which is a new installation) does not accept a date parameter value for this report in this format and returns a "could not set date parameter" error. The report runs fine if I pass the parameter in yyyy/dd/dd format from the web-application.
I compared the regional language settings and Business Objects registry entries on both these machines, CMC settings, and they all seem to match. Am I missing something in the configuration or environment setup that is causing this issue? Appreciate any hints on solving this issue. Thanks so much.

Hi Siva,
may i know how to do it?
as i did try to code in the begining by using String for my startDate and endDate. and it is able to consume, but currently if i change the startDate and endDate to Date. it is still able to consume when i change the date from "2008-01-30T10:00:50.342Z" to just "2008-01-30". but when i try to use adobe interactive form. the startDate and endDate i am using the Date/Time Field Type. and the Data Format is as Date. so it will just return "2008-01-30" only.
the part where i have error is when i try to do a parameter mapping from the interactive form to the web service. it is unable to map as they keep prompting that cannot map a Date to a Time Stamp.
that is why i stuck at this part.. so i try to find out how to overcome this errors now..
Regards

Hi ,
I have the following columns for a single item(SingleVO),
ItemNo, SugQty, OrdQty, Description,
I would like to display the data in a table(Normal table or in a Advanced Table) with the
following format. If there are 50 items, First row should display the First Item's
itemno, sugqty, orgqty and the secondrow should display the description of the first item and third row should display the Second item's itemno, sugqty, orgqty and the fourthrow should display the description of the second item ....etc.
Column Names:

Thanks Ranjit,
We build the table dynamically using rows and columns with the required spans.
So that we could achieve the same display format.

Planning Data from formatting issue with Smart view in 11.1.2

Hi,
We are facing one strange issue in Smart view.
We have created a dataform in Planning as follows:
Columns:
FY10 FY10 FY10
Budget Budget Budget
Jan Feb Mar
But when we open this in Smart view, we are getting the columns as follows:
FY10
Budget
Jan Feb Mar
i.e. year and scenario are spreading across months instead coming at each column level.
We are using Hyperion Planning 11.1.2, Smart View 11.1.2 and Office 2003.
Please help us.
Thanks,
Naveen Suram

Are you saying you want the dimension members FY10 and Budget to be repeated in each column?
I think that can be done for Ad-Hoc Analysis mode, but not where you have opened up a Planning form.
Cheers

Data Formatting issues

Hi All,
I have some formatting issues in a query.
For example if there is a single column with dats as follows:
testcol_
0
5
10
10.55123
10.678
(note: they are all percentage values)
The data should look like this
testcol_
0.00
5.00
10.00
10.55
10.67
(Note: 2 decimal places, not rounded)
I wrote a query just like below
select to_char(trunc(test_col, 2), '0.99') from test
The data I got is:
0.00
5.00
Then I changed the query like this:
select to_char(trunc(test_col, 2), '00.99') from test
The data I got was
00.00
05.00
10.00
10.55
10.67
But in this case the issue is the first two rows.
They should be just
0.00
5.00
Is there any possible way that I can write a query so that the data will exactly look like below:
0.00
5.00
10.00
10.55
10.67
It would be great if anyone could help me out.
Thank You,
Varma

Date Format Issue with Pre-Insert trigger

I have created a form wherein creation_date and last_update_date are columns in a table that needs to be populated with sysdate (in format mm/dd/yyyy hh:mi:ss am) at time of saving.
In pre-insert triiger, if I assign date as follows , it works:
:creation_date=sysdate;
However this creates date in format yyyy/mm/dd.
I would like to set it in format mm/dd/yyyy hh:mi:ss am.
How can this be done-I tried using to_date and to_char but wont work.
Any ideas?

Another date formatting issue

Apologies if this has been covered before but my search has not produced anything.
I am using BIP in EBS and have a template with the following:
<?format-date:DATE_NOTIFICATION;'dd/MM/yyyy';'Europe/London'?>
<?format-date:DATE_START;'dd/MM/yyyy';'Europe/London'?>
<?format-date:DATE_END;'dd/MM/yyyy';'Europe/London'?>
XML for this is:
<DATE_NOTIFICATION>2010-01-14T00:00:00.000+00:00</DATE_NOTIFICATION>
<SICKNESS_START_DATE>2010-01-04T00:00:00.000+00:00</SICKNESS_START_DATE>
<SICKNESS_END_DATE>2010-01-06T00:00:00.000+00:00</SICKNESS_END_DATE>
When the concurrent request runs output is produced in either excel (most likely) or pdf. View the output from the concurrent request and everything is fine.
However if you view the excel output and then save it to your PC as MS EXCEL XML or MS Excel Workbook format, then open that local copy of the spreadsheet in MS Excel some of the dates are formatted incorrectly as follows:
Notified Date 14/01/2010 - CORRECT
Actual Absence Start Date 01/04/2010 - INCORRECT not the transposition of the day and month to the US format mm/dd/yyyy
Actual Absence End Date 01/06/2010 - INCORRECT not the transposition of the day and month to the US format mm/dd/yyyy
I am guessing this is something to do with the nationality which would be US in EBS but UK on the local PC, however what I don't understand is the inconsistency, if all dates were incorrectly formatted then fine you can work with it but when some are correct and others are not it gets a bit tricky to deal with.
Has anyone seen this before, is it a known bug?
Cheers,
Dave

Osgood gave you the above that you said works.
.paragraph_spacing {
margin: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
padding: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
you need to set up another class if you want it to have
different styles....
.specialparagraph {
margin-bottom: whatever px you want here;}
and then apply the class to the one paragraph
<p class="specialparagraph"> whatever text here

HELP: Strange Number Formatting Issue

G'day All,
I have a stored procedure which is available via the web which generarates a customer report. I've just noticed that my number fields that have decimal values are being rounded to the nearest whole number.
The SQL that grabs the data to be used in generating this specific table uses TO_CHAR(decimal_field, '9990.00') etc a number of times. example values are:
0.27 becomes 0.00
45.44 becomes 45.00
I've double checked the underlying data and the values definitely have decimal values as the examples I listed above are from. When I run similar queries via the SQL COMMANDs web page the data is correctly formatted. It just appears to be with in the stored procedure.
BUGGER I've just noticed that it is happing on "Report Regions" where I have also used TO_CHAR(decimal_Value, '99990.00') etc.
Does anyone know WTF I've done or not done. I'm pulling my bloody hair out as "IT SHOULD JUST WORK!!" :(
Regards
Mark

G'day Chrissy,
Thanks for you response, I've just logged it the demo application on my local instance of apex v 3.0.1 on Oracle XE and and as you would have it, I cannot for the life of me get the Number Formatting issue to occur at home.
So when I get back into work, I'll give your suggestion a go.
That said, I've modified the DEMO application specifically the TOP 10 Product report using every combination of the TO_CHAR (your way, the ways that I believe I'm using) and it works fine. I've created a new table with decimal values and a new report and it works fine. I even tries putting records with null values in the decimal field, but it worked fine.
I've just switched themes (even though themes have no influence of a dynamically create html page via procedure) annnnnd it works fine.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Just maybe, just maybe it was Friday-itise and when I get in Monday it will just work, unless I get stung by Monday-itise :)
I'll keep plodding along,
Mark

Crystal for VS 2010 - formatting issues in viewer (extra space) again

We're having the same problem as the one in this thread link:[Crystal 2008 for VS 2010 - Report formatting issues in viewer (extra space);. There's no resolution in the thread and it's been closed. I'm hoping that creating a new thread may cause someone to answer this problem.
We have a Windows App that we just converted to .NET 4.0 and updated the viewer to the Crystal Reports Viewer in VS 2010. When we open a report that has a large block of static text in paragraphs left-aligned the spacing around punctuation is awful - there's almost a tab's worth of space between the last letter and the period. U.S. looks like US. This happens both with reports that were created in VS2008 and ones that were created in VS2010. It is only a problem in the viewer's display - if we print to a printer or export to PDF the spacing around punctuation is fine. It's also not a problem on our development workstations which are running Windows 7, but is a problem on our test servers which are running Windows 2003 Server. I ran the modules tool and found that the version of usp10.dll does match what the previous thread said it should be and it's coming from the c:\program files\sap businessobjects\crystal reports for .net framework 4.0\common\sap businessobjects enterprise xi 4.0\win32_x86\ folder. On my development machine when I run the modules tool I notice that a second instance of usp10.dll is called which is the version installed with Windows 7. We've tried changing fonts but none of the ones we've tried (originally in Times New Roman, 12, tried Arial, Times and various sizes) have made a difference. We also tried changing the print options with no improvement. The only thing that makes it slightly better is full-alignment but our customer insists that it be left-aligned.

Re. the other thread. I never did receive a sample of the report to test with. Perhaps I can get one from you? I need you to ensure that the issue occurs with a "saved data" report. If it does, let me know if you can share it and I'll contact you via email. My comment in the other thread re. available time, priorities, etc., still applies. Also, just to be clear. Service Pack 2 for CRVS2010 is closed now. Thus if I am able to reproduce the issue the fix will be targeted for October \ November time frame - no guarantees though...

I realize this is an old post, but am wondering if you ever resolved this. I'm having the same issue. Download an xlsx file locally opens fine, but attaching the seemingly exact same file throw errors/warnings when trying to open via an email attachment.
