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".

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.

raj

How to Resize the default date picker calendar

Hello Experts,
SAP CRM web UI shows a date picker as follows for populating fields of type date.
We noticed a strange issue that for months like January 2015 , the width of the date picker is lesser than what is shown for November 2014.
As you can see in the following snapshot , the dropdown icon of the second field is hidden when the month shown is November 2014.
This an issue because of the different sizes shown for different months , users would have to move mouse pointer when they to move to next months by clicking on the next arrow icon.
Any tricks to fix the width of the date picker will be really appreciated.

Hi Praveen,
You can try following tricks -
1. Go to SE80, search for BSP Application = 'thtmlb_styles'
2. under Pages with Flow Logic - we have one CSS file called "thtmlb_core_stand.css"
3. In this file try changing width of method call ' #thtmlb-calendar-container ' to 150px like shown below.
#thtmlb-calendar-container {
     display:                none;
     position:               absolute;
     width:                  150px;
hope it helps.

Default date should be displayed in Locale's date short format in Prompt

Dear BI Gurus,
I would like to take your attention to resolve one of date format issue which we are currently facing.
We want to display Current_Date in locale's date short format ( For US: MM/DD/YYYY and for UK: DD/MM/YYYY) in a dashboard prompt. Also we need to pass the the prompt value to the report filter through presentation variable.
For this we used logical sql to get the default value as select Times.time_id from sh when times.time_id= Current_Date. Once I click on the preview button it was showing in locale's date short format. But when we place the prmpt in dashboard, the default date was coming up in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format. But since calendar picker is giving value in locale's date short format (For US: MM/DD/YYYY and for UK: DD/MM/YYYY), there is an inconsistency in the display format. So could you please provide any workaround to make them consistent.
Thnaks,
Siva Naga Hari.

Hi Vinay,
Thanks for reply.
We are looking for default date display format in dashboard prompt. i.e For US locale, default date and calendar picker should be displayed in MM/DD/YYYY and for UK locale, default and Calendar picker should be displayed in DD/MM/YYYY.
We don't have any problem in report output for different locales. Also we don't need to create 2 seperate reports for different locales. If we set the data format to [FMT:dateShort], it will display as per the locale's date short format. Please provide workaround to display in dashboard prompt.
Thanks,
Siva Naga Hari.

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')

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.

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:

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.

Date Picker - show specific month of perticaular year

Hi Experts,
I am using sam.m.DatePicker control. By default date picker show current month-year when user open date picker. I want to show specific month of specific year when date picker is open.
for eg: In my app, if student appearing for next year exam(say 2016) then when he click on date picker it should show April of 2016 instead of april of 2015. I don't want to set date by default. Student should select that date manually.
Is it possible to show specific month and year for date picker when it open.
Thanks in advanced.

Hi,
you can also give a default date of the first date of that month.
Why you are not using that?
var datePicker = new sap.m.DatePicker({
                                        valueFormat: "yyyy-MM-dd",
                                        displayFormat: "long",
                                               value: "2014-03-26"

Set Default Date Format in 4.2 jQuery Mobile Smartphone

Hi guys,
on "normal" Desktop interfaces you can set a default date format in the Globalization settings. Currently I'm working on a JQM app, and I noticed, that the same settings I have for date format in other apps, don't take affect.
I now read in the 4.2 release notes, that somehow this issue was a bit buggy. Is this fixed? I would like to set a german date format like "DD.MM.YYYY"; (as it's working in desktop apps). How can I do it? In global settings this entry gets saved.
But whenever I want to set an individual date-picker-item to that format, it changes back to "YYYY-MM-DD" after saving. And I don't really want to get into writing a conversion function in the dml-processing now.
Thanks for any hints, best regards,
tobi

Hi Tobi,
the "Date Picker (HTML5)" item type maps to the HTML5 input type="date", which requires that the internal format of the date value always has to be YYYY-MM-DD, but it's up to the browser to actually display the date in the format of the local operating system setting. The browser of iOS for example shows the date in the format of my local language/country setting.
See also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7372038/is-there-any-way-to-change-input-type-date-format
To make a long story short, it's not possible to specify the display format for those date pickers, because it's not supported by the HTML5 spec.

How to change default Date format in BO 6.5 SP4

A problem with date display has been reported to me by one of our users - in BO 6.5 - since installing SP4.
The default date format is now MM/DD/YYYY
I have tried to recreate this on my PC and have been able to confirm that this is the case.
Most of our PC's will have two versions of Business Objects on them - for 5.1.6 and for 6.5 - that is the case for my PC.
If I create a new BO document based on a spreadsheet with three entries in the spreadsheet as follows:-
20/01/2009 20-Jan-2009 20th January 2009
This displays in BO 6.5 as
1/20/2009 1/20/2009 20th January 2009
My PC regional setting is UK and the time displays DD/MM/YYYY
Can you advise how to correct this problem please.

Hi Sebastien
Thank you for your response.
I haven't checked Dimension in universe because this is happening even when datasource is an Excel spreadheet - as per details in previous post.
I have looked for *.sbo files and found one for ODBC.sbo in the Version 5 folders on PC - with date format details in it which I've changed - that doesn't make any difference.
Any other ideas?
Regards
Linda
