Date to show in MM/DD/YYYY format

Hi all,
I am stumped on this simple thing under BIP.How can I get the date to show in MM/DD/YYYY format under BIP ?
Template is created under word, for the field under formatting, type: date, format:M/d/yyyy ( can't find MM/DD/YYYY). But when I browse the document, it always show as "DD-MON-YYYY" format.
How to mitigate this ?
Thanks
Munshar

Hi ,
hey small mistake in my solution code,just change the format to dd/MM/yyyy (case sensitive code)then it will work
to-char() is used to convert the Date or Number format type to displayable string format.
In our case also it is coverting xml_date_filed into a string to the format of dd/MM/yyyy
so you can try with this formula
in Advanced tab write
*<?xdofx:to_char(MY_DATE_FIELD,'dd/MM/yyyy')?>*
or in properties tab ,under formatting section ,select type as DATE and write the format as dd/MM/yyyy

Export Date in MMMM,DD,YYYY format?

This is probably really simple, but I have been running in circles trying to figure out a solution. I am using various Acrobat Forms (created in Acrobat 8.0 Pro) and exporting data as .txt for merging into other documents. I have found that if I set the date format for a field to mmmm dd, yyyy it displays correctly (eg. August 13, 2008)in the pdf document, but when exported it reverts to 08/13/2007.
What is the easiest method for me to export the date in the preferred format? One more note ... I don't anticipate doing calculations with the date on the receiving end, so converting to a string would be acceptable ... I think.
Thank you for any advice.

Create a second date field and format the date from the input field into a formatted string.
// get the date time object of the input field
var oDate = util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy", this.getField("InputDateField").value);
// format the date time object to the correct format
event.value = util.printd("mmmm dd, yyyy", oDate);

How to convert date from "yyyymmdd" to "MM/DD/YYYY" format

1. I have one BLDAT field in my internal table.
   its getting updated from input file.
2. The value in the input file is like yyyymmdd.
   So the internal table field is filled like this
   "YYYYMMDD".
3. After this,I have to compare this internal table
   field with BSAD table.
4. The BLDAT field in BSAD table is in the format of
   "MM/DD/YYYY".
5. the BLDAT field is having diff format in internal table and BSAD table.So I am unable to check this value.
How to convert it as like the BSAD table format."MM/DD/YYYY" format.
Thanks in advance!!

Using the WRITE statement

OR u can
CONCATENATE gd_date+4(2) gd_date+6(2) gd_date+0(4)
into gd_date seperated by '/' .
Hope this helps.

How to break range of dates into different months in mm/yyyy format

See the following eg:
MaterialNo         Validfrom         ValidTo            RecordNo                    Value
A100                01.01.2007        13.05.2007       1000                           1150/-

Hi Shiva,
In your Report Program, you can define the field of type sy-datum. And then fill the fields with the date. And then you can extract the rest of it manually by this small and simple lines of code. Once you have the date extracting logic then you can output the date in any manner according to your wish.
data : lv_date TYPE sy-datum.
data : lv_month TYPE c LENGTH 2.
data : lv_year TYPE c LENGTH 4.
data : lv_month_year TYPE c LENGTH 6.
lv_date = sy-datum.
lv_month = lv_date+4(2).
lv_year = lv_date+0(4).
CONCATENATE lv_month lv_year INTO lv_month_year.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Samantak.

Date field in DD.MM.YYYY format printing as MM.DD.YYYY

HI all,
There is a DATE field FKDAT in an invoice whose value is in DD.MM.YYYY format (01.07.2010).
In the print program, this value is being passed into a CHAR field. However, when it gets printed it prints in MM.DD.YYYY format (07.01.2010).
I have already checked the user settings under Own Data and it is in the DD.MM.YYYY format.
Please advise.
Thanks and regards,
Anishur

Hi ,
In the invoice printing program you should use 'WRITE' syntax which will write the date as per user's date format.
e.g write it_tab-fkdat to gv_date.
Declare gv_date as character 10.

Date validation in "DD-MON-YYYY" Format,

Hi ,
I have created a textbox with date picker as (dd-mon-yyyy) .
Now i want to create a validation on it for the format (dd-mon-yyyy) .
I have created a pl/sql code with type "function returning error text".
Begin
If :P4_END_DATE IS NOT NULL THEN
if :P4_END_DATE != to_date(:P4_END_DATE ,'DD-MON-YYYY') then
return 'END DATE should be in "DD-MON-YYYY" Format';
end if;
END IF;
End;
When i type in like 20-NOV-08 it gives error as 'START DATE should be in "DD-MON-YYYY" Format',
but when i change month like 20-11-2008 , it actually gives error
ORA-01843: not a valid month
Error ERR-1024 Unable to run "function body returning text" validation.

Error ERR-1024 Unable to run "function body returning text" validation.The call to 'to_date' is raising an exception when it tries to convert your date, standard PL/SQL exception handling takes over and the rest of your code is ignored.
You could try:
declare
pragma exception_init(invalid_date,-01830);
l_dummy date;
Begin
If :P4_END_DATE IS NOT NULL THEN
l_dummy := to_date(:P4_END_DATE ,'DD-MON-YYYY') then
END IF;
exception
when invalid_date then
return 'END DATE should be in "DD-MON-YYYY" Format';
End;
but even that will not check that the user actually used your desired format - the to_date can be quite flexible e.g. accepting separators other than the '-' that you have declared. In fact, the above would only catch the user entering a 'date' that is shorter than the format string - changing the 'invalid_date' for 'others' would capture more (all!) exceptions.
You probably want to look at using regular expressions to perform the format validation.

Show date in dd/mm/yyyy format using ODataModel in a table.

Hi,
I am populating a table using ODataMoel in which one of the columns is 'DatePicker' control and I want to map a date being passed in one of the fields of data from server to this DatePicker control. It's getting mapped but I want to show the date in DatePicker in 'dd/mm/yyyy' format.
I happened to go through links but they were talking about JSonModel.
How would that be implemented using ODataModel. Please find my sample code below.
var oTable = new sap.ui.table.Table("dprTable",{
visibleRowCount: 4,
//firstVisibleRow: 3,
visible: true,
navigationMode: sap.ui.table.NavigationMode.Paginator
//selectionMode: sap.ui.table.SelectionMode.Single
var oColumn = new sap.ui.table.Column({
label: new sap.ui.commons.Label({text: "DBR/DPR"}),
template: new sap.m.Link({
"target": "_blank",
press:[controller.onClickDemoNo,controller]
}).bindProperty("text","DemoId")
width: "auto"
oTable.addColumn(new sap.ui.table.Column({
label: new sap.ui.commons.Label({text: "Required Date"}),
template: new sap.ui.commons.DatePicker("",{
value:{
path:"/ReqDate",
type: new sap.ui.model.type.Date({pattern: "yy-MM-dd"})
change: function(){
console.log('the date is changed and it\'s value is'+value);
width: "auto"
oTable.addColumn(oColumn);
var oModel = new sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel("/sap/opu/odata/sap/ZSECENTRAL_SRV",true);
oTable.setModel(oModel);
oTable.bindRows("/DEOPENDBRSet");
This(red colored code) is not showing the date in the DatePciker in the form of 'dd/mm/yyyy', in fact it's not populating the date too. Any help would be appricitated.
Thanks,
Supriya Kale

Hi Supriya,
Just give the source pattern of the date and remove the / in the path mentioned.
Please make sure that the source pattern is correct.
template = new sap.ui.commons.DatePicker({
value:{
path:"ReqDate",
type: new sap.ui.model.type.Date({source: {pattern: "yyyyMMdd"},pattern: "yy-MM-dd"})
Hope it works.

How to print date in dd/MM/yyyy format??

Hi All,
I want to print a date in a dd/MM/yyyy format. I am doing like this
Date d = new Date(23-11-2006); but it is printing
like Wed Dec 31 18:59:58 EST 1969 .
Please help me .

I am doing like this
Date d = new Date(23-11-2006); but it is
printing No you're not, because that won't compile. Show us exactly what you're doing and we might be able to help.
You seem to suggest you want to print a date in a certain format, but then the (pseudo-) code you present seems to suggest you want to be able to parse a date from a given format into a Date object.
Be clear and specific about exactly what you want, what you have tried, and why it didn't work and then people will be better placed to help! :-)

Display date in DD.MM.YYYY format

Hi all,
In my XML one filed is data-type of date and it is coming in DD-MON-YYYY format,but client wants to see in DD.MM.YYYY format in PDF output.I am trying
<? format-date:DATE_ISSUED;'DD-MM-YYYY'?> in RTF ,but PDF is still showing in DD-MON-YYYY format.
Please help me to achieve this.

You can only format dates when they are in the canonical date format. This format looks like: YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.
You have two options:
1. adapt the XML generation process to generate the date in the canonical format (YYYY-MM-DD) and use the <?format-date:DATE_ISSUED:'DD.MM.YYYY'?> in the template.
2. adapt the XML generation process to generate the date in the format of the client (DD.MM.YYYY) and print this directly on your report.

Converting string to date in mm/dd/yyyy format

Hi,
I used simpledateformat to convert date to "MM/dd/yyyy" format.
Now when i want to insert into db, i want the value as date object instead of string [returned by format method of SimpleDateFormat]
what should i do?
Date dt = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
System.out.println("Formatted date is coming as "+sdf.format(dt));
Date dt1 = sdf.parse(sdf.format(dt);
System.out.println("parsed date is coming as " +dt1);
output :
1 SOP returns 11/07/2007 [current date]
2 SOP returns Wed Nov 07 00:00:00 GMT+05:30 2007

If you are using PreparedStatements setDate method, you need a java.sql.Date object, not a Java.util.Date object. You can create an sql.Date object from a util.Date object as follows:
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(dt.getTime());And, if you are not using PreparedStatement and its setDate method, then change now.
Doing
Date dt1 = sdf.parse(sdf.format(dt));is meaningless. You format the date to string, then parse the string back to a date? Why? Why not just use the original Date object? And you won't get a sql.Date object that way, either, as the DateFormat classes return a util.Date object.
Edit: And for more info:
A Date does not have a format. It is simply a number. The "format" only comes into play when printing the String representation of the Date, and that is not handled by the Date object itself (except when calling toString either explicitly or implicitly).

In any case, you must contact Oracle Support to get the issue resolved.
