DelimitedData and Date Format Mask

I am using desformat=DelimitedData to generate a Report with Version6.
Although the date Format Mask is DD-MON-RRRR the date in the report is 11-NOV-34. What can I do?
Thanks in advance

Delimiteddata and number format mask

Hi,
I need to export data from my report to a csv format in reports 6i.
I installed patch 12 so I can use the delimiteddata format.
This works but I do have problems with the number format.
I formatted all of the number fields so they appear as desired in the report when running in C/S mode.
I learned that you can use the number format, date format and cell wrapper variables for delimited and delimiteddata formats.
These parameters do work with delimited output but they don't when generating delimiteddata.
Only when I start the reports builder with numberformatmask=something on the command line then the number format given on the command line will be used. but then you cannot change it (even not in the dialog when generating a delimited format) anymore once reports builder is open.
Is there a solution for this problem or is it fixed in a later patch (I haven't seen anything new in then patch 13 notes).

Problem with date format mask 'D'

I am experiencing an extremely thorny problem with the date format mask ‘D’. I am trying to use it to check whether today is a Monday. The variable v_temp_day is set to sysdate. For the last 4 weeks the code has behaved erratically – giving a different result at 02:00 than at 10:30 even though it is only taking account of the date. In desperation I inserted a debug statement formatting the date in a variety of ways – with interesting results. Oracle is somehow managing to tell us that today is simultaneously Monday and Tuesday depending on which format mask you choose. Anyone got any thoughts or suggestions?
PROC_ID TO_CHAR(STAMP_TIM
EVENT_SQLERRM
RRHKP010 17092007 02:00:00
TO_NUMBER( TO_CHAR( v_temp_day, D ) ) = 2. TO_CHAR( v_temp_day, D ) = 2. TO_CHAR( v_temp_day, DY ) = MON. TO_CHAR( v_temp_day, DAY )
= MONDAY . TO_CHAR( v_temp_day, Day DD-MON-YYYY HH24MISS ) = Monday 17-SEP-2007 020000. TO_CHAR( v_temp_day, D ) = 2.
SQL> select to_char( sysdate, 'D' ) from dual ;

My book says the trunc(d,'iw') will return "same day of the week as Jan 1st of that year"It's bad book.

Error in SQL Date Format Mask

Hi,
I am facing problem in validation data in FDQM.
When I am trying to validate data,I am getting an error as ' An Error occured.Please verify that SQL Date Format Mask is correct'
The current Date Format in our application is YYYYMMDD.
I did not have this problem earlier in validating data.This problem is occuring now only and also this error is coming for few entities only.
Could any one suggest me on how this can be resolved.
Thanks

Hi Kelly,
I checked periods in control tables and there are no duplicates.
The Period Date Format Mask is MMM-YYYY where as the SQL Date Format Mask is YYYYMMDD.
These settings are there since the time I created application.Has it got anything to do with database.
Appreciate your quick response

Convert Oracle date format masks to Java format masks

Have an application based on Oracle that stores data in text form (for display) and in native date format. It is being migrated to another application with a Java based front end that can only use Java format masks to display the dates in the desired display format.
Is there a way to translate the Oracle format masks to Java? I can do this in SQL or PL/SQL using the database or in Java.
I really don't want to write detailed code to parse the masks, although if parsers are available to take an oracle mask into its metadata (minute, year, etc), it may be possible for me to write the code.
This seems like something that must have been done many times over the years. I would prefer to reuse workable code rather than reinventing the wheel.
To be clear, I do not need to alter data or convert dates shown in string form. Just the format masks so the new app will display dates in the same manner as the old app. Fortunately, both apps handle interpreting the format masks in their native technology, so it is just converting the format mask.

kenmadsen wrote:
Both applications have a varchar2 column and a date column. A date picker selects and returns the date in native format for storage and the application uses the mask to format the varchar2 column for display (and storage). The old application uses an Oracle date format mask DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI and the new application uses Java date masks (DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm). (I may not have the translation from HH24 to hh correct).
The date column and the display column store the same information (a date), but one is stored natively and the other is displayed as the application administrator want the particular row to be formatted for display. (the mask is a column in the same table as the other 2 columns). Each row has characteristics (other columns) that determines what the data is and how it should be shown (some things need to show time; others only the date)
So the problem is, when migrating, the new application cannot render the dates as the old app did because "Mon" is Oracle format, not Java format.
No data is being converted in the migration, except for the mask itself. Both applications have the same record structure with respect to these columns and they both use the mask to generate the formatted varchar2 data for display in the application and storage.too bad you insist on try to describe with words rather than actual CODE.
Please explain again why this is an Oracle problem & NOT a Java problem?

Problem With Date Format Mask

Hi everyone,
when i set the date format mask in any field..
if i enter any wrong date format messages are coming in to loop
is this is bug of format mask?
how can i avoid this..
thanks in advance
anand mohan

It should not take you into a loop. If the "validation" against the format mask fails, a message is displayed, and the focus is returned to the field which caused the problem. Do you maybe have some method or event associated with the field which could be causing the circular behavior?

Need help with date format mask

Hi there, right now I'm trying to set a default date format mask constraint for one of the attributes for my table. I want to set the default mask constraint as MM/DD/YY but I don't know how to. it should be something like:
CREATE TABLE work (WorkDate DATE CHECK (WorkDate = 'MM/DD/YY'))
or something like that, but I don't think that's correct. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

What you want (and should have done) is to read the documentation, starting with the concepts:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/datatype.htm#CNCPT413
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/search?remark=quick_search&word=date&tab_id=&format=ranked
A date is stored as, well, a date, format masks only come into play when you're selecting/retrieving a date or when you want to store a string as a date. Default date formats can be set through NLS_DATE_FORMAT at session and database level.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams122.htm#REFRN10119
Documentation homes (from which you can do a simple quick search):
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/homepage
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/homepage
Bottom line:
Trying to set a default date format mask on a date datatype column makes no sense...

Date Format Mask dropping "0"

I have a field in my report where the source is the "Current Date", and the format mask is as follows:
fmDay, Month DD, RRRR - HH:MI AM
So, for example, it should look like this:
Monday, April 3, 2006 - 5:08 P.M.
However, it's coming out like this:
Monday, April 3, 2006 - 5:8 P.M.
When less than 10 minutes have elapsed from the top of an hour, it's not displaying the "0" between the colon and the last number, evidenced by the fact that what should be 5:08 in the above example, is displaying as 5:8.
Is there something wrong w/ the format mask I'm using? Any ideas how to correct this?

Saumen,
I believe your method probably would have worked, and I'd have used it if I hadn't [accidentally] discovered another way. The format mask I was using before was one of the Reports defaults, and had the "fM" at the beginning. By simply removing this, the field no longer dropped the "0". I still don't understand, but it works.
Thanks

Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

In the advanced tab of languages and Region the time and date formats will not change

For a certian Application I am using I need to change the format of the Time and Date. I had no problems in Mountain Lion. In the advanced tab of languages and Region the time and date formats will not change. I need the date format to read as 01/01/14 and time format to read 13:00. As I said this was easily done in Mountain Lion and all previous Apple OS. I suspect it's an issue with in the OS.

You're right, it has been that way for a long time. I've never bothered reporting it as a bug since it's simple enough to deal with, but reporting it would be a reasonable thing to do.

CA Forum: Data Quality
i've got SQL Server installed with a date format of YYYY-DD-MM.
When I run repcleanupu it tries to execute a query with a date format of YYYY-MM-DD so results in an out of range problem when it does the date conversion.
Does anyone know how to correct this?
Thanks

BestPractices Error - Set Decimal Notation and Date Format

Hello everyone,
first of all, I don't know, if this is the right forum for my question, but I hope so
We're trying to implement the Best Practices Scenarios to a new SAP ERP System.
We did the steps of the following url, where everything worked fine: http://help.sap.com/bp_dm603/DM_DE/html/index_DE.htm
Then we integrated Best Practices 603V8 via Solution Builder (TA: /n/SMB/BBI). But now, when we switch to Implementation Assistant and try to activate Scenario DE_109 --> 100(DE) --> Folder USERSETTINGS, we receive the following error in report /SMB99/SU3_O009_B32: Set Decimal Notation and Date Format.
So we called transaction SU3 and changed Decimal Notation and Date Format, but the error still exists.
Anybody knows what to do?
Thanks for your help!
Best regards
Patrick
PS: We executed Testscript /SMB99/SU3_C009_B32 via TA SECATT and there is the error:
TCD SU3 0,292 sec N Maintain Users Own Data

List all of the existing column and there column format and data format?

Hello Gurus,
I am new to OBIEE and i have a requirement to verify the column format and data format for all of the existing column while generating a analysis report. Is there any way i can list down all of the columns which are exposed and list there column format and data format?
For checking the individual column properties i know there is an option called 'Column Properties' but want to know all in once go.
Kindly help me and thanks in advance.
Thanks

I don't think you have anything in answers to get that, Go to Repository and Utilities -> Generate Metadata Dictionary that will give columns and datatype.
