Deleting a Date/Fields value

Hi I'm developing a XDP Form to be depolyed under XHTML, and I cannot find a way to clear a Date/Time Fields current value using Javascript.
I've tried fieldname.rawValue = "", fieldname.value = "", and fieldname.formattedValue = "", and = null for all properties mentioned. These do seem to visually remove the date's value (or put the string "null"), However when a server side script tries to read the value (should be empty) from the date/time field it still returns the original date value.
I've also tried combinations of xfa.host.resetData(), which only partially works if the date field had an original value of empty not if it was populated with a value, plus it seems to clear all the other fields on the form which is not desireable.
Is there any way to delete the Date/time fields value client side?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated?

No attachment appears on this end ....can you mail it to [email protected]
Thanks

Deleting date field value via import

I need to clear the value in a date field for a few thousand records. I tried doing this via import by setting the value to a space " " but it didn't work.
Any ideas on how this can be achieved through import or otherwise would be great.
Thanks.

Hi Nakul,
Try any of the following, it will hopefully work in your case:
1) Import using excel with blank date field (no data in date field). This will erase the already existing value in the date field [provided there is no workflow that restricts such deletion of date data.]
2) Create a temp workflow on condition "before modified record saved" and update the date field value with blank (no values in fx), do the import, this workflow will delete the existing data.
Cheers!

I have 1 BPS layout with 2 date fields ( Start date, End date ). With a filter conditions, set of data comes in BPS layout on execution and 2 date fields also contain some value...I want to change values of these 2 dates...both the date fields are char infoobjects..in BPS layout, in planning function I got only 1 function ( Repost function ) to change the value of char infoobject based on some condition. but date field value is not the status field...i want to enter new date instead of old date..if i right exit function in that also i can change only keyfigs values..so please help me to solve this problem..

Hi Priyanka,
As of now master data planning is not so flexibly supported.
Still u can refer the below link which is enhancement of standard Repost function,and can be used to change master data.

As far as my knowledge goes u cannot directly input date in rows.

Help with Date Field Value

I have only used livecycle for a few months, so sorry if this questions seems basic, just beyond my knowledge at the moment.
I need a little assistance with a date issue I am having on one of my forms.
I have the display pattern of a date field set to -- date{MM/DD/YYYY}
The issue I am having is some users are entering the date using the " - "symbol instead.
Example 01-01-2000
and other are using the correct 01/01/00 format with the " / " as the divider.
This is causing calculations in the next field to fail because the date it formatted incorrectly.
How can I make the field convert the " - " to the the correct symbol of " / " and still allow others to use the " / " as they are now.
Thanks

I was able to figure it out using the edit pattern page

Personal Data - Field value PERID deleted when saving

Hi,
When the user updates the personal data view in ESS the field Social Security - PERID gets updated with blank value (i.e. if you only change nationality or any other field). I'm not sure what is causing this, I'm not getting the same problem when updating the infotype directly in the backend.
Does anyone know what might be causing this?
BR Olof

Exactly!!! This was it.
Thanks for helping out.

Help for date field value

I want to manually modify something in our ERP system. But I find some fields in table which is in date type have the value '0000-00-00'. How can I insert the same value to the database?
Our DBMS is oracle 816.
SQL> select to_char(t$curd,'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss') from triton.ttdsls051702
2 where
3 t$orno = 104497;
TO_CHAR(T$CURD,'YYY
0000-00-00 00:00:00
0000-00-00 00:00:00
0000-00-00 00:00:00
SQL> select to_date('0000-00-00' , 'yyyy-mm-dd') from dual;
select to_date('0000-00-00' , 'yyyy-mm-dd') from dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01843: not a valid month
Please offer me some help. Thank you!

Oracle has some funny ideas about dates. I tried this on 8.0.6, 8.1.7 and 9.0.1.
SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('01-01-0001','dd-mm-yyyy'),'j') FROM dual;
TO_CHAR
1721424
SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('1721423','j'),'dd-mm-yyyy') FROM dual;
SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('1721423','j'),'dd-mm-yyyy') FROM dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0
but ...
SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('1721424','j')-1,'dd-mm-yyyy') FROM dual;
TO_CHAR(TO
00-00-0000
again but...
SQL> CREATE TABLE t (dt DATE);
Table created.
SQL> INSERT INTO t SELECT TO_DATE('1721424','j')-1 from dual;
1 row created.
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_format = 'dd-mm-yyyy';
Session altered.
SQL> select * from t;
DT
31-12-0000
yet again but ...
SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(dt,'dd-mm-yyyy') FROM t;
TO_CHAR(DT
00-00-0000I think it is probably safe to set those dates to null, or some other acceptable default value depending on what t$curd means in your application.

Set Date field value through Form datasource

Hello all,
Has anyone set the value of a field of type Date through the form's datasource?
    If (Not Entrega = Nothing And NrDias > 0) Then
        Entrega = Entrega.AddDays(NrDias)
        ds.SetValue("U_data", ds.Offset, Entrega)
    End If
End If
If I change the field to a text field it write to the datasource and display no problem.
Any ideias?
Best regards.

Ups,
Found it.
ds.setValue("U_dataent", 0, Entrega.ToString("yyyyMMdd"))

How to send date field value from one page to another page

Hi every one!
In my page I have a requirement....I need to select From date and Todate....based on that data has to be displayed in the table....but in my table i dont have such type of fields.....please help me

I used hidden variable also but it's not useful for me. If by "hidden variable" you mean a "hidden field" (ie a text-input field in the submitting form with display=none), then that's exactly what I was thinking...
So WHY is a hidden field "not useful"? It's just that... ummm... I suspect you're doing it wrong, or maybe just not understanding how it works. So post both your JSP Pages (if they're not too big), or take the time to prepare a [Short Self-Contained Compilable (Correct) Example|http://mindprod.com/jgloss/sscce.html].
The more information you provender, the greater your chances of getting real help.

When I get a date field value using the Oracle thin (type 4) JDBC driver...

....in 'DD-MMM-YY' format from an Oracle 8i database and pass it in to the java.util.Date() constructor, I get a IllegalArgumentException. This error doesn't occur when I use the type 2 driver, so it is apparently a driver-specific thing. It happens on both Win32 and Linux.
Has anyone seen this before? Is there a newer version of the Oracle thin (i.e., type 4) driver than is listed here?
http://web77-02.us.oracle.com/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/content.html
Thanks,

Yup, that original post didn't make much sense, did it? Let's try again.
I've got an EJB app that runs on WebLogic 6.0 (on Solaris in production, on Win2K for development) and accesses an Oracle 8i database. This app currently uses the Oracle type 2 JDBC drivers. All is well.
So I wanted to see how it would run on Linux. I've got a Redhat 7.1 box handy, so I installed the JDK and WL6.0 and slapped the ear file on there. Problem! Can't deploy because there are no Oracle drivers on this machine!
Makes sense. So I started looking around, and it seems installing Oracle on a RH 7.1 box involves patching glibc and other such nastiness. So let's just try the type 4 JDBC driver - no glibc patch, no shared object libraries, just good 'ol pure Java talking to Oracle on port 1521.
Once I had the URLs and whatnot set up, the app connected to the DB just fine, created the connection pool, read some data, etc. But when my app read a date from the DB and instantiates a new java.util.Date object, I got an IllegalArgumentException - i.e., the date can't be parsed.
"Hmm... that's odd", I thought, so back I went to my trusty Win2K machine, modified my configuration files to use the type 4 driver and - same error! So I switched back to the type 2 driver - and everything works fine, Dates and all. Hmmm.....
As you correctly state, that Date constructor is deprecated and I should use DateFormats and GregorianCalendars and whatnot instead.
But has anyone seen this weird behavior before - code that works fine on a type 2 driver starts throwing exceptions when used with a type 4 driver? Anyone have any solutions?
Thanks much,
Tom

Deleting rows with missing values in field in start routine of update rule

Hello experts,
how can I delet rows with missing values in a specific field in the start routine of update rules?
I think ABAP code should look something like this:
delete ... from DATA_PACKAGE where Z_NO = ''.
thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Write:
delete data_package where field = value.
Hope it helps.

Is there a way to import a indd CS4 file with its Data Fields names and properties into CC?

I have to convert numerous files from CS4 to CC. The CS4 files are using external data from a CSV file. When I open the file in CS4 I can enable the preview and see the data from the CSV file. But when I save the file as indd or idml and try to open it in InDesignCC then I can't see the data as preview. I can see the Data fields (text).I think it's because it doesn't recognize the data fields from the CS4 file. If I delete a data field and remap it I will be able to see the preview for the field I just mapped. the other fields remain the unchanged, like they were just text.
Any help with this topic will be very appreciated. I have about 70 data fields per document and about 100 documents to go through.
Update: The symbol for a data field, ex: «fullname_2» change size when I delete and remap it. Explanation: When I open the CS4 file in IndesignCC I can't view a preview of the Data field(s) (almost positive because it's plain text). The data fields show like this «fullname_2». But when I delete that and drag a field from the data field list it shows like this <<fullname_2>>. So definitely, CC is not reading the data fields from InDesign CS4.
P.S.: The fields above («fullname_2» and <<fullname_2>> are copy and paste from Indesign CC.

I'm attaching this image so this forum can notice the difference on the Data fields from CS4 and the ones added on CC

IDoc posted in R/3 but data for Date field has not generated.

Hi Experts
This is JDBC to IDoc scenarion.
Source: MS SQL Server
Date Data Type: smalldatetime
Date field Format: yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss --> example: 2009-11-13 00:00:00
XI Mapping: Source Date --> Transformation --> Target Date
Transformation: yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss to yyyyMMdd
Target: R/3 System
Date Data Type: ERDAT from VBAK table - Date on Which Record Was Created
Date field Format: Date field (YYYYMMDD) stored as char(8)
Check points:
1. Mapping is working fine in XI and transformation is done with the test data: 2009-11-13 00:00:00 --> to ---> 20091113
2. In SXMB_MONI the data is processed from the source and the IDoc XML data is generated. In the IDoc XML data the date field is containing the value <DATE>20091113</DATE>
3. But when I tried to open the IDoc(SE05) in R/3 the date field is empty and no data is generated.
Request you to let me know why the error is happening.
Regards
Ram

Hi Ram,
First try to test the same IDOC generated in ECC Box by populating date field value using WE19 and test .
Or
Instead of passing date value from SQL Server, Just give a try with Current Date function in Mapping and test in ECC system.
then we can think on further analysis.

Vijay
