Display current system date and time in a form

Hello experts from around the world,
I have this little minor challenge that i am having difficulty cornering.
I have a form and i want to display the current system date and time so that when i save the form its saves it with the date displayed.
I have tried sysdate, &sysdate and &sysdate. in the default part with static text with sessions state submissions.
So any help or suggestions would be of great help :)
Thanks

hi kevin
write the below script in HTML header.
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var d = new Date();
var curr_hour = d.getHours();
var curr_min = d.getMinutes();
document.write(curr_hour + " : " + curr_min);
</script>
it will give the time u can assign this variable to text box item variable.
or else check the below java script link

Time Stamp Error: Cannot display system date and time. My VI display "YYYY-MM-DD" instead of "2014-08-02".

Hi All,
I am using Labview8.5 and Windows XP OS.
My Problem is my Labview TimeStamp cannot display current system date and time.

Bill,
reviewing the thread Dennis linked (thanks for that) reveals that it is the same account which opened this thread here three month later.
What bothers me is the fact, that the past thread is marked "solved" even though it obviously isn't. Or the OP is trolling us.....
Nevertheless, it seems like systematic error. Connected to specific machines.
What makes the machines where the time stamp issue occurs "unique"? If there are several, is that source really "unique"?
Most obvious reasons would be:
- Language settings (possibly the infamous "dot-comma-issue")
- Time zone settings (e.g. what happens if you switch Ulaanbaatar to Perth or maybe even some US time zone?)
- Missing hotfixes for Win and LV
- Is the system running as virtual machine vs. "native"?
Not so obvious differences:
- Specific CPU type
- Motherboard/BIOS
- LV ini settings
There are tons of other possible reasons (e.g. corrupt LV installation), but these are the ones i came up with within a couple of minutes....

Show active current date and time in a Form continuously

Hi,
I am use Oracle Form 10.1.2 in Windows 2000.
Can we show an active current date and time in a Form continuously?
Perhaps in the main menu form.
So the user can see the moving time, instantly when the time change (withour pushing F5 for refreshing the form)
23-Sep-2006 06:00
-- one minute later will show
23-Sep-2006 06:01
-- one minute later will show
23-Sep-2006 06:02
-- and so on
Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

Here is a quick, untested suggestion that sketches out one way of approaching this.
If you only require updates every 60 seconds, you can use the TIMER built-in to create a repeating timer with a sixty-second delay. Each time the timer expires, update a text item to reflect the current time (obtained by selecting SYSDATE from DUAL on the database.)
If the time is to be updated precisely when the minute changes, use two timers -- the same one described above, and a one-shot. Before you create either timer, run the following query:
SELECT 60-TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'ss')) FROM DUALThis will give the number of seconds remaining until the minute changes. Use this value to set the duration of the one-shot timer. When it expires, create the repeating sixty-second timer.
There is a good possibility that this method will not be terribly precise, depending on factors like server resources, user load and network distance. A more network-friendly approach would be to use a JavaBean that relies on the PC's system timer to track the passage of time, and calculates server time based on the observed time difference between PC & server.
Hope this helps,

Automatic file generation using system date and time

Hi guys,
Iam trying to generate a path for file creation automatically using System date and time. I am running into errors with respect to special characters in filename. I am trying to parse the string to get date and time without the '/' and ':' but have not been successful. is there a better way to do it? Please help! I am trying to avoid a dialog box for user to enter a filename.
Thanks!

I may not be perfect, but I'm all I got!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

here is a little experiment .... building the path out of %m (month) %d (day) %(year) type stuff might help.

How can i pass system date and time in update mode in tabular form.
Thanks

Hi,
You just create a trigger on the table on which you build your tabular form:
e.g:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "AUDITING"
before insert or update on "MYTABLE"
for each row
begin
    if inserting then
        :new.created_on := localtimestamp;
        :new.created_by := nvl(v('APP_USER'),user);
    elsif updating then
        :new.updated_on := localtimestamp;
        :new.updated_by := nvl(v('APP_USER'),user);
    end if;
end;Regards,
Fateh

Extracting Time without using the System Date and Time

Hi, can I know how to process a task at this particular time eg. 6PM everyday without using the System Date and Time..
Do I need to use a Timer to get this done or is there any other solution to do this? Can give me a few hints? Thanks in advance =D

You could use a timer...assuming you had some good reference point when you started so you would know that from your starting point it's now 6pm.
I thought I saw you asked this question once already...and you were given a similar answer....I think by Sylviae?

How to get system date and time?

Can someone show me a code on how to get system date and time.
Thanks!

there is one really easy way to get system time, the api gives a great example of code on this. use gregorian calendar, which you'll find in the api under GregorianCalendar. You only need to create one instance of GC, ie Calendar time = new GregorianCalendar();
you save seconds, minute and hours into int values, so you don't have to access the system time every second, you can create a thread which adds one to the int second value, if oyu see what i mean, for example, i have saved the hours, minutes and seconds as int values;
int hour, minute, second;
i can then create a thread (Thread thread = new Thread(this) and run it like:
Calendar time;
int hour, minute, second;
Thread thread = null;
public MyTime() {
hour= time.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
minute = time.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
second = time.get(Calendar.SECOND);
if(thread == null) {
thread = new Thread(this);
thread.start();
public void run() {
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
while(thread == t) {
thread.sleep(1000);
second++;
if(second > 59)
minute++;
if(minute>59)
hour++;
formatTime();
public void formatTime() {
second = (second > 59? 0 : second);
minute = (minute > 59? 0 : minute);
hour = (hour > 23? 0 : hour);
System.out.println(hour+":"+minute+":"+second);
public static void main(String[] args) {
new MyTime();
I know this looks like gibberish but it should work. If not, try to fix the problem, i have written from memory really but i guarantee you, this gets the time then every second, simply adds one to the second and then formats time. You can also access the day, month and year then format them using the above code. I don't like giving code since you should really do these things yourself but it is 2:04am, i have nothing better to do and i am not tired so i did you a favour - i have become what i always did not want to, someone ho stays upall night writing code.

How to display current system Date in the Date Input field ?

Hi,
I am having a Date Input field( binded to Data type). On load, i would like to display the current system date filled in that input field.
How do i achieve this ?
Reg/Venkat

Hi Venkatesan,
In your view in your init() method add the following code:
wdContext.currentContextElement().setOrderDate(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));
this is if your Date-attribute is in the root of the context.
else you have to set the date in the node where the date-attribute is present with:
IYOURNODEElement node = wdContext.createYOURNODEElement();
node.setOrderDate(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));
regards,
Björn

You might want to use TimeStamp and not java.sql.Date which by definition does not include time.
You might also want to close PreparedStatement and Connection in your code.

HI ANirudha,
Can you please explain what is your input and what output is expected .IF you want date and time at any output field then it can be achieved with Standard date fuction CURRENTDATE .it does not expect any argument you ave to use it twice in one set property as date and in secoond function set propert as time then with the help of concat function you can get the desired output .

Not natively that I know of. You could use a LabVIEW DLL call to link
to a Win32 API call which sets the date and time. You would need to
have privileges to do it.

How to get current system date and store in db

may i know how to get the current system date so that i can store it into the database

java.util.Date is NOT deprecated, just most of its methods are.
Use
new java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeMillis());to get the current date. Note that the date in a client machine
may differ from the clock of the server!
BTW: java.sql.Date extends java.util.Date.

Display Current/System date in the Query

Hi,
Can any one tell me how i can display the current date or system date in Bex Query/report. I tried to use "0DAT" SAP exit as the key date in the "General Properties"... this helps me to execute query based on a Key date, but does not display the date. Can any one tell me, how I can use the current date in my query for some calculations and how I can display the current date.
Thanks

Hi Tanu
If you want to see the query run date along witn query properties in the report output ( after you execute the report).. then go to "Layout".. (please check for Icons) >display text elements> all. ( This is if you are in BW 3.5).. if you are in BI 7.0, then simplay click on information and you will see all the details
I see you are asking for some calcuation's also.. for that you should see what date fields you have in the backend cube/dsou2026
Hope this helps
Thanks
