Display difference of a Date field and today's date in the query

hi experts,
I have a query which has a date field called 'Effective Date.'
I just need to a add a column in the query that shows me the diffenrence between 'Effective Date' and the date the query is run (key date).
Do i need a custom exit to accomplish this?
The new column can either display the number days elapsed from 'Effective Date' to the key date or it can also display Number of Years/ Months / days.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Extract Year (only) from Date Field and Display in Text Field

I need to extract the year from a user entered date field and display the year in a text field. Can someone help me with the correct script to do this?

Hi,
that's quite easy to realize with FormCalc.
In you date fields exit event add the following code:
textField1 = Num2Date( Date2Num($.formattedValue, "MM/DD/YYYY"), "YYYY")
Note: This sample assumes that your date field formats the date with "MM/DD/YYYY". You may have to change the pattern to make it work at your end.

DATE fields and LOG files in context with external tables

I am facing two problems when dealing with the external tables feature in Oracle 9i.
I created an External Table with some fileds with the DATE data type . There were no issues during the creation part. But when i query the table, the DATE fields are not properly selected though the data is there in the files. Is there any ideas to deal with this ?
My next question is regarding the log files. The contents in the log file seems to be growing when querying the external tables. Is there a way to control this behaviour?
Suggestions / Advices on the above two issues are welcome.
Thanks

Hi
If you have date datatypes than:
select
greatest(TABCASER1.CASERRECIEVEDDATE, EVCASERS.FINALEVDATES, EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE, EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE, TABCASER.COMPAREACCEPDATE)
from TABCASER, TABCASER1, EVCASERS
where ...-- join and other conditions
1. greatest is good enough
2. to_date creates date dataype from string with the format of format string ('mm/dd/yyyy')
3. decode(a, b, c, d) is a function: if a = b than return c else d. NULL means that there is no data in the cell of the table.
6. to format the date for display use to_char function with format modell as in the to_date function.

Date fields and compare and get the later date of the fields

I am trying to compare these date fields and compare and get the later date of the fields
Tables are
TABCASER
TABCASER1
EVCASERS
Field
Are
TABCASER1.CASER_no
The dates are to be compared and then get the records with the highest or latest date value.
TABCASER1.CASERRECIEVEDDATE
EVCASERS.FINALEVDATES
EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE
EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE
TABCASER.COMPAREACCEPDATE
I have this code but I am trying to figure out what it all means.
I have several questions.
1.
1.     greatest it is used here to compare right? How do I then output this ? do I store it to a var (coldfusion) ultimately , I wish to send it to a page of records
2.     is it necessary to use todate? And to_date? What does this do?
3.     decode, is this necessary too. What does this do? NULL?
4.
5.
6.     when I do get the query results how do I send it to coldsuion and out put to a display.
Someone sent me this code.
is there abetter way of doing this? To compare the dates and store in a var to display. thanks
Here is my code below:
Greatest(
     CASE
          WHEN INSTR(TABCASER1.CASER_no,'-CE') > 0 THEN
     decode(TABCASER1.CASERRECIEVEDDATE,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),TABCASER1.CASERRECIEVEDDATE)
                         WHEN INSTR(TABCASER1.CASER_no,'-ERNIE') > 0 THEN
     decode(EVCASERS.FINALEVDATES,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),EVCASERS.FINALEVDATES)
                         WHEN INSTR(TABCASER1.CASER_no,'-MONIE') > 0 THEN
     decode(EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE)
                         WHEN INSTR(TABCASER1.CASER_no,'-NADINE') > 0 THEN
     decode(EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE)
                         ELSE
     decode(TABCASER.COMPAREACCEPDATE,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),TABCASER.COMPAREACCEPDATE)
                    END
          ,decode(TABCASER.COMPAREACCEPDATE,NULL,TO_DATE('01/01/1900','mm/dd/yyyy'),TABCASER.COMPAREACCEPDATE))
          between TO_DATE('#dateformat(form.startDate,"mm/dd/yyyy")#','MM/DD/YYYY') and TO_DATE('#dateformat(form.endDate,"mm/dd/yyyy")#','MM/DD/YYYY')
is there abetter way of doing this? To compare the dates and store in a var to display. thanks

Default date field to today but still allow user to change date if needed.

This is for a log that is usually accessed daily

Hi Joey...,
If you are looking for a formula that will automatically insert today's date in a cell, I don't think there is one tahat will do what you hope. TODAY() inserts todays date alright but it does that every time the cell updates. It would always be today's date.
If you are entering your data using a form in iOS then after you tap the day button you are offered the choice of "Today" on the number pad. It always seemed to me that this should be the default screen for a date entry.
This past week I finally discovered that if you choose a month on the date entry screen an go to the next field, the date field will populate with that month, the number of today and the year of today. So to enter today I only need to choose the month.
I am sure you moved on with this, but I had to let someone know.

Data fields and key fields

Hi,
Data fields and key fields are same as Characteristcs and key figures? Or they are diffrerent?
Thanks,
Radha

HI
Key Fields = Acts as Primary Key for The ODS like Primary of Tables in R3.
Data fields = Apart from Key fields We consider rest as data fields.
Ususally we use Characteristic info Objects and Dates in Key Fields and Key figures in Data fields.
It's decisive factor for overwriting property of ODS or DOS.
Hope this helps.

                                required   = "true"
                                maxlength = "10"
                                size       = "10"

How to GRN date (MIGO) and Goods posting date (MB1C) as a Characteristcs

Dear All,
Our customer wants to include GRN date (MIGO) and Goods posting date (MB1C) as a Characteristic for a batch.
And he wants the system to pick up these dates automatically for batch.
So in batches will be sorted out based on GRN (MIGO) or Goods posting (MB1C) date.
Is there any standard characteristics available for these fields?
How to achieve this functionality.

I have 2 different accounts at the same websites. Whenever I go to that website, one of my usernames prefills the UN field and I can't access the other account. I cannot overwrite my pre-filled username. Ideas?

I have 2 different accounts at the same websites. Whenever I go to that website, one of my two user names (always the same one) pre-fills the user-name field and I can't access the other account. The website rightfully rejects my password. I cannot overwrite my pre-filled user-name because the second I hit enter to logon, the original user-name rewrites itself into it's field. Neither of the user names is being saved by firefox anywhere in the "tools"; Options, security, advanced or privacy menu fields.
I did notice that that website has installed a cookie onto my computer called "_rememberme" which contains the user-name that is plaguing me.
This is a website that I access for very sensitive and important information and I must have both accounts accessible at different times.
Thanks, Joshua
XP, sp3; FF3.6.3
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== I added the second account on this website.

You need to clear that remember me cookie and make sure that you remove a check mark to remember you on that website.
Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
You can disable the automatic fill of a name and password.
See:

To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
