Display System Time on Form

Is there any way to display the system time on a form?
Thanks!

You can use the following script in click event of a button to display the current system date and time..You need to set Java script as language.
xfa.host.messageBox("" + Date());
Thanks

How to display different Time Statement forms in ITS service PZ04

Hi all,
I am working on a underlyinge R/3 4.7 system and are working with standalone ITS and ESS 50.4. I am posting this question to find out if any of you has experience with my problem.
The business wishes to use the ITS transation PZ04 standard and wish to be able to display different Time Statement forms in the transaction through customized variants for the report(RPTEDT00) that the PZ04 transaction executes. In the IMG it is posted that one variant has to be created called HRESS_TEDT00 and this works, but restricts the PZ04 transaction to always be called with this variant and therebye the same Time Statement form every time.
I then by debugging found that the underlying ABAP code processed from SAP standard has a variable VARIANT that is hardcode to = HRESS_TEDT00.
The question is: Is there anyway to setup the PZ04 transaction so that it can be dynamic decided which variant should be used, f.ex. from persons subarea from infotype 0001?
Looking forward to here if anybody can help.
Regards,
Allan Brauer

Hi,
FM GET_SYSTEM_TIMEZONE gives time zone as PST or CET like that but I want output as UTC+8 or UTC-6.

How to display system time

in sql we use sysdate in dual to display the system date like wise how to display the system time since i am a beginner i need ur help please.

In Oracle Date Data Type save time information, all you need to do is using to_char function or NLS_DATE_FORMAT to display it,
SELECT TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') FROM DUAL;
or
alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT='DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS';
select sysdate from dual;

Displaying system time in the stage

I want to use the "put the time" function to display my
system time on the stage. Can someone help?

There are a few more formatting options using straight lingo.
Instead
of using "the time", you can use "the long time" which will
show the
hours, minutes, and seconds. Be careful though, since most of
Director's built in ways of getting the time/date can vary
depending on
the user's Operating System and preferences in the control
panel. For
instance, some may have 24 hour time and some may have AM/PM.
It is
dependent upon the user's OS.
BuddyAPI has a more configurable and controllable method, as
Applied CD
pointed out. That would be the best way probably.

Display system time in text field

hi all,
I want to diplay the current system time (format: hh:mm) in a text field on screen
... and update the displayed time every minute.
How would I implement it ?
Thanks for your assistance.

run the code above in a thread that is activated after every 1 min to update the timeYou should not create a thread to do this. Swing components should be updated in the event thread. It is better to use a Swing Timer. This thread deals with this issue. Replies 1 & 4 are the most relevant:

Displaying system time (not timecode)

For the life of me, I can't find any Expressions that deal with displaying the current system time using the source text property.
What's a good way to get "04:53 PM"? (assuming the time is really 4:53PM)
Alternatively, using Dan's universal counting clock, he uses a variable named "clockStart =". What would I use to return the current system time?

I haven't tested this thoroughly, but it should get you close:
D = new Date(Date(0));
h = D.getHours();
m = D.getMinutes();
suffix = h >= 12 ? "PM" : "AM";
if (h > 12) h -= 12;
h = "" + h;
if (h.length < 2) h = "0" + h;
m = "" + m;
if (m.length < 2) m = "0" + m;
h + ":" + m +" " + suffix

To get the Database date in a select statement use the SYSDATE pseudo in a select statement.
SCOTT@ORCL> SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL;
SYSDATE
17-OCT-07
SCOTT@EBOS> SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS AM') FROM DUAL;
TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MON

How to display system time zone if user time zone is not set?

Hi,
My application implicitely chooses ALA as time zone if the user time zone is not set.
How do I check this?

Hi,
Try using these FM's
TZON_GET_USER_TIMEZONE
GET_SYSTEM_TIMEZONE
Z_LOCATION_TIMEZONE
You can set the timezone in sy-zonlo by using the 1st FM and setting sy-zonlo in your application.
I think system takes ALA default because its the 1st timezone in the table.(check FM BWDT_LIST_TIMEZONES)

Amit

How to display the Date Time using the System Time zone

Friends,
Can anyone help me with below scenario..
I have to display Date Time on a jsff page, This value associated to one of Transient View object populated from the database.. Is there any way I can handle on the screen to display the same date /time bassed on the system time zone ?
I know one way how we can handle it.. while populating to View object we can set the time based on the system time zone.. but it would be easy and simple if there is any approach I can use on UI layer itself..
thanks

I don't understand why this display doesn't pay attention to the date/time format settings that are set in the language and text prefs.
Those settings are used for date OR time, and provide for different displays depending on the space available. The menu bar does not have a fixed space available, and wants both date and time.
In Leopard, it used the medium time format. To get the date and time, you could modify that format to include the date, but that could cause problems with software that happened to use the medium time format and expectede just the time. Also, you might want to change the medium time format without changing the menu bar display. For these reasons, Snow Leopard's menu bar clock uses its own formatting for data and time display.

Please provide an example of how to display the system time in CNiNumEdit.

I need to display elapsed time in a numeric edit control. The value must be a double. Using MFC, please show me an example that displays the system time in a CNiNumEdit control.

The trick is to set the FormatString of the num edit control to a format that displays dates/times and to use the COleDateTime class to handle converting the date/time to a double. COleDateTime encapsulates time stored as a DATE, which is a typedef for double. COleDateTime uses the same conversion factor for date/time as what the num edit expects, and since it supports a conversion operator to a DATE, which is really a double, and the num edit Value property is a double, displaying the current time in a num edit can be as simple as this:
// Assuming you have a member variable called m_numEdit for a CNiNumEdit
m_numEdit.FormatString = _T("hh:nn:ss");
m_numEdit.Value = COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime();
Hope this helps.

Displaying the System Time In a Frame.

// How do you get the system time to display in the frame, using the above classes. unable to find the information through books and online tutorials. Please Help.

In future Swing related questions should be posted into the Swing forum.
I am not sure what tutorials you are using but they can't be very good if you did this. Try this tutorial instead http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/index.html
And please post some code that might compile without syntax errors next time.
JTextArea Timedata = new JTextArea(10, 30);
win.getContentPane().add(tA);There is no tA defined anywhere.

Running Time in forms

hi to all,
how can put a running system time in oracle forms? is this would affect the performance of my forms..? if we use a timer?

If you are on webforms, you could create a PJC which displays the time; If you are on C/S Forms I'm not aware of a possibility to do this without a timer. I've a C/S form which displays the current time using a timer; I didn't encounter performance issues. If you are on web I'd recommend to use a PJC...
regards
