Date validation in " DD-MON-YYYY"

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.

Date validation in dd/mm/yyyy format

hi,
I am using SimpleDateFormat to validate date but it not working properly It is not validating against date range and leap year.
String stringDate = "40/02/1999";
try
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
ParsePosition pos = new ParsePosition(0);
Date date = formatter.parse(stringDate, pos);
System.out.println("correct");
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}

Have a look at the calendar class, in particular :
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Cale
ndar.html#setLenient(boolean)Calendar isn't needed here. He sould stick with SDF.Infernal jverd !! ;-P
For some reason i skipped over your reply completely, and I knew there was a setLenient in Calendar, so I was going to point him there. OP listen to jverd.

Query records using a date DD-MON-YYYY in Forms 6i and 10g

In Forms 6i, I can query records by entering >20-dec-2006 in a date field which has length of 12 with a date format mask DD-MON-YYYY in date item property. Once this form is converted to 10g, I can only enter >2-dec-2006 for querying. If trying to enter the >20-dec-2006, then, it becomes >20-dec-200 and have no record found. Although I have the date length increased to 20, the result stays the same: can't enter 2 digits for day.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Appreciate your help. The date field has a format mask of DD-MON-YYYY. By entering >2-dec-2005 it will automatically be displayed as >2-DEC-2005 in Forms 6i or 10g. Also, the query property has case insensitive checked as Yes. The problem is with 10g, I can not enter anything at the 12th position. I can enter the date up to the 11th position >20-dec-200. In Forms 6i, this is not a problem. Thanks.

MON/YYYY period format in OFA r12

Hi,
We recently upgraded from 11i10 to r12.1.3. We found recently the period format in Oracle Fixed Assets has changed to 'MON/YYYY' instead of 'MON-YYYY' format since current FY. If I query the fa_calendar_periods (table) i found the period_name column has data in the same MON/YYYY format.
What do I need to change to get the period name format back to MON-YYYY format. Also, I noticed starting next FY, it lists as 'MON/YYYY-YYYY', which is even more confusing for the users,
I doubt this is oracle standard as it is not consistent across modules such as general ledger, project costing etc. I searched on metalink and found none to help.
If anyone has any solution, please advice.
Thanks in advance,
Kwin.

little more explanation would help here to address the issue.
drop me the sample xml , template you have to my id, id is in my profile.

Convert varchar2 field into date formatted: DD-MON-YYYY

Thanks in advance for anyone's help on this matter as I know it takes your time and expertise. I am pretty new to SQL but learning my way through it just have an issue with a text to date field conversion. It is an Oracle 10g database and I am writing in SQL. There is a field called Demand which is formatted in varchar2 format of ddmmyy. There is also a field that is formatted as a date called Payment which is formatted as DD-MON-YYYY.
Essentially I need to do a simple Payment >= Demand, however as you can see that is some issue with that being a varchar2 field. Does anyone know if it is possible to do that type of expression against those two fields. Was thinking about possibly converting the varchar2 to a date but not sure how to get to that DD-MON-YYYY format.
Also there are situations where this Demand field will often times be null as it would have never recieved any outbound correspondence in the past and would not have a date at all.
Thanks

Hi,
It's hard to detect bad dates in pure SQL, especially if you need to be precise about when February 29 is valid.
It's easy with a user-define function, like the one in [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=3669932&#3669932].

Need regular expression for oracle date format 'DD-MON-YYYY'

Hi,
Can anybody tell me the regular expression to validate date in 'DD-MON-YYYY'.
My concept is i have a table with just two columns item_name and item_date
Both fields are varchar2 and i want to fetch those records from this table which have valid date format('DD-MON-YYYY').

If it must be a regexp, this is a starter for you, note it carries the caveats mentioned by both posters above and in the linked thread
mkr02@ORA11GMK> with data as (select '10-jan-2012' dt from dual
2 union all select '10-111-2012' from dual
3 union all select 'mm-jan-2012' from dual
4 union all select '10-jan-12' from dual)
5 select
6 dt,
7 case when regexp_like(dt,'[[:digit:]]{2}-[[:alpha:]]{3}-[[:digit:]]{4}','i') then 1 else 0 end chk
8 from data
9 /
DT                 CHK
10-jan-2012          1
10-111-2012          0
mm-jan-2012          0
10-jan-12            0It will not validate content, only string format.
And to emphasis the points made in the linked thread - dates in text columns is poor design. Always.

Is it possible to display a date as (DD-MON-YYYY) in excel output using excel template in xml publisher

Is it possible to display a date as (DD-MON-YYYY) in excel output using excel template in xml publisher where date should be displayed as date only not string.

I've tried to use hierarchy node variables, but it seems like you can't specify a attribute of the hierarchy such as level. So with the WBS hierarchy, if you create a hierarchy node variable, you specify the WBS value to select (If I understand this correctly). I wish I could instead specify "give me all the WBS nodes that happen to have the value of the level attribute greater or equal to 3. If I understand Juergens post, he is saying make security access so that only certain WBS levels can be returned in the query. I suppose we can try that, but that would then preclude getting the level 1 and 2 in the future if the authorization is global.

How to display date in dd-mon-yyyy hh:mm am/pm format

Hi,
I want to display date in dd-mon-yyyy hh:mm format in OA Page. Can any body pls give me sample code that i can write in the controller.
Regards,
Ram

The date format in OAF Pages is controlled by profile ICX: Date format mask.This profile can be set at site as well as user level for the individual users to set the Date format.
But I would advice not to go for setting different profile values at user level, because i remember some old threads, where seeded Oracle pages fail, as code their is not generalised to handle date formats.

there is a misunderstanding.
Your database column is in a DATE type. This is a type, and thanks to this type, you can DISPLAY the date in various ways in a query editor (toad, sql developer...).
I mean, there is no various physical Date type columns, but only one called "date".
If you want to display this date in the way "DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS", then convert it into "CHAR" (or VARCHAR) type with the function TO_CHAR (in oracle).
Example : to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MMMM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS").
But the result will be an alphanumeric type. You won't be able to do further operation on date, like adding a day for instance.
That's why you should keep the date format in the column of your database table, but convert it in your queries.
If you really need to have this specified format, then use the char or varchar type in your database table.
