Date format 'mm/dd/yy',mm/dd/yyyy'-output difference???

Hi All,
I have a doubt regarding Date Format.
Here is a procedure to find out the Day of week.
procedure transformDate(mydate varchar2,myno number)
is
v_date date;
begin
myprint(chr(10));
myprint(' Result of OverloadedProcedure2');
myprint('---------------------------------------');
v_date:=to_date(mydate,'mm/dd/yy')+myno;
myprint('The day in which '||to_char(v_date)||' falls is '|| to_char(v_date,'Day'));
end transformDate;
SQL> exec OverLoadedProcs.transformDate('10-28-04',2)
Result of OverloadedProcedure2
The day in which 30-OCT-04 falls is Saturday
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
The above one works well.
But if i change the format as given below,
v_date:=to_date(mydate,'mm/dd/yyyy')+myno;
SQL> exec OverLoadedProcs.transformDate('10-28-04',2)
Result of OverloadedProcedure2
The day in which 30-OCT-04 falls is Thursday
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
i do not get desired output.Why is it so?.Can anyone explain me?
Regards,
Sreeji.

While I always use four digit years, if you want it too work, try
procedure transformDate(mydate varchar2,myno number)
is
v_date date;
begin
myprint(chr(10));
myprint(' Result of OverloadedProcedure2');
myprint('---------------------------------------');
v_date:=to_date(mydate,'mm/dd/rr')+myno;
myprint('The day in which '||to_char(v_date)||' falls is '|| to_char(v_date,'Day'));
end transformDate;

Regarding a date format

Dear All,
I have a doubt regarding date formats.
i have a date = Wed Jun 24 00:00:00 GMT+300 2009
i want to convert this date in to 24.06.2009
What i tried is
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss Z yyyy");
Date convertedDate = dateFormat.parse(value);
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
String date = sdf.format(convertedDate);
System.out.println(date);But my output was 24.06.0300Some thing happened to my Year field .
Please help me to solve this ....
Thanks and Regards,

"Wed Jun 24 00:00:00 GMT+300 2009" definetely it is not in "General time zone" and "RFC 822 time zone format". But the [SimpleDateFormat api|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html] tell this also
SimpleDateFormat also supports localized date and time pattern strings. In these strings, the pattern letters described above may be replaced with other, locale dependent, pattern letters. SimpleDateFormat does not deal with the localization of text other than the pattern letters; that's up to the client of the class.
That's not saying anything about changing what the various bits do, though. It's just saying that a particular Locale might use a different letter sequence to represent hours..."XX" instead of "HH", for example. But the Locale equivalent of "z" would still expect the format "GMT+3:00".
hey sha_2008 can you tell what values these methods " toLocalizedPattern()" and " toPattern()" returns on SimpleDateFormat object which created the "Wed Jun 24 00:00:00 GMT+300 2009" string.The OP hasn't mentioned anything about how he got the original date string, so we can't assume it came from another SimpleDateFormat object. In fact, it clearly hasn't.

I have Problem in Upload Date formate

Hi Friends,
I have one doubt on WDJ.
I have done one Application that application having one functionality that is Download data in to Excel. After download data into excel we can change the DATE cell and again upload Excel Data.
Here what I am getting problem is download data into SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy"); this date forame. And again upload data into Same date formate
But it is not uploaded
When I download data into SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); this date format that time it will upload successfully.
This is for Dowload data into Excel
if(StockEle.getConf_Shp_Date()==null)
ExcelEle.setConf_Shp_Date("null");
else
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
Date ConfShpDate = wdContext.nodePoDetails_OutTab().getPoDetails_OutTabElementAt(i).getConf_Shp_Date();
String ConfShpDate1 = sdf.format(ConfShpDate); // will give dd-MM-yyyy
ExcelEle.setConf_Shp_Date(ConfShpDate1);
Here ExcelEle.setConf_Shp_Date data type is String
This is for Upload data
try
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
//Date dt = sdf.parse(ele.getConf_Shp_Date());
// java.util.Date Date dt = sdf.parse(ele.getConf_Shp_Date());
java.util.Date dt = sdf.parse(ele.getConf_Shp_Date());
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(dt.getTime());
eleout.setEindt(sqlDate);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
eleout.setEindt data type is Date.
How to Solve this issue I want upload this type of date (dd.MM.yyyy).
Regards
Vijay Kalluri

Hi
Try to format it before sending it back , try using these code
// Create Date object. Date date = new Date();
//Specify the desired date format
String DATE_FORMAT = "MM/dd/yyyy";
//Create object of SimpleDateFormat and pass the desired date format.
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);
/* Use format method of SimpleDateFormat class to format the date. */
System.out.println("Today is " + sdf.format(date) );

Date formats in BI Query designer

Hi gurus
We have enhanced our cube 0sd_co3 where we have taken a number of dates such as Railway Receipt date, Actual Goods Issue date, LFdat, thses are only few examples. Now our reporting scenerio demands reporting based on thses dates as given in our time dimensions such as
YYYYMM Qty
but not based on the date mapped in the time dimension in the cube. but based on these dates
in oracle we have the to_char function through which we change the format of date while writing sql query
so if there is any option of changing date format in query without changing the modelling
Pl suggest
Thanks
Shivani

Hi,
You can create new characteristic of char number 6 . Include it in the data target. Populate it via a update rule ( Routine).
Use input as standard date (Railway Receipt date) and then pass the value to the new char in the required format (YYYYMM). Follow same thing for other dates also.
Let me know if you have doubt.

Viren

Regarding Date Format Conversion

Hi,
In my project i am picking the date from the date picker which is a javascript program . Then i am displaying it on a jsp page .It is coming in mm/dd/yyyy format .I have to change it to dd/mm/yyyy format .
I have the code for date formatting conversion .
What my doubt is whether the code should be written inside the jsp page or in the javascript .
Thanks .

Hi
<%@page language="java" import="java.sql.*,java.util.*,java.text.*" %>
<%SimpleDateFormat sdf= new SimpleDateFormat(dd/mm/yyyy );%>
<% java.util.Date temp_date = sdf.parse(PassYourDateHere); %>

DATE format - while defining the table column

Hi Friends,
I came across a piece of code which was applying a TO_DATE() function on a date type column.
I have two tables t1 and t2 and they have col1 and col2 columns respectively of type DATE
t1
col1 DATE
t2
col2 DATEalso there is a variable var1 and is defined as below:
var1 DATE;now I have conditions as below in the code:
AND to_date(t1.col1,'dd/mm/yyyy') = to_date(t2.col2,'dd/mm/yyyy')
AND to_date(t1.col1,'dd/mm/yyyy') = to_date(var1,'dd/mm/yyyy')This code failed on Production with an error: ORA-01861 literal does not match format string
I changed the code to remove TO_DATE() and it worked fine. Dev clarified that they used this function so that if the two columns or variable are in diff date format.,..they can be put in sync.
e.g. if col1 is dd/mm/yyyy and col2 is mm/dd/yyyy then there will be an issue.
My doubt is.. in a given environment if we are creating a table and defining a column of type DATE , or defining a variable of type DATE, can their format be different at any time? I think No.?
In what scenario can the date format be different?
Thanks,

Having said that date format is only for display purposes, if you tend to avoid the error without changing the code then you can modify the NLS_DATE_FORMAT parameter at session level.

Date Formatting Issue

Hi ,
I Have Procedure where it take input parameter date value
for eg
PROCEDURE P_GET_EMP_DATE(V_DATE IN DATE)
IS
V_BEGIN_DATE DATE;
BEGIN
SELECT max(BEGIN_DATE) into V_BEGIN_DATE FROM
emp where TRUNC(APPT_DATE) =V_DATE+90;
END;
now my doubt is APPT_DATE is storing the date format in 12/16/2002
but V_DATE which iam passing to the procedure is in the format
'14-jul-2008' . When i execute the procedure its compiling and executing
successfully.
but when i try to test the single sql manually i get the following error
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER .
i know to fix the issue we have to do like this
TO_DATE(TRUNC (APPT_DATE),'YYYY/MM/DD') < = TO_DATE('2007/03/31','YYYY/MM/DD') + 90;
my doubt is how pl/sql engine interpreting the dates and returning the results
though there are errors in the query.does it automatically doing formatting
and type conversions ?

You seem to be a bit confused about how to work with Oracle dates...
Basically, we humans represent dates as strings in particular formats: 14th July 2008, 14/07/2008, 07-14-2008, etc.
Oracle stores dates in its own particular format.
In order for us to communicate with Oracle's dates, we either manipulate something that's already stored in the database as a date (eg. sysdate or a date column) OR we use the to_date and to_char functions, which convert a string to an oracle date format and vice versa.
When working with dates in Oracle, you should stick to using the date format. If you're working with things already stored in dates, then great - you've got nothing to worry about conversion wise (and more specifically, never to_date something that's already in the date format!). You only have to worry if you have to specify a particular date as a string - then the to_date function comes into play.
If you're wanting to output a date, you can either rely on your nls_date_format parameter setting (ok for ad-hoc queries, bad for coded queries!!) or you can explicitly state the format you want it to appear in using to_char.
Hopefully that's clarified things for you

Problem with Date formatting

Hi Tim,
I am facing some issues with formatting the date using XMLP. The following is the sample XML data file i am using:
<LIST_G_HEADER>
<G_HEADER>
<QUOTE_HEADER_ID>1455</QUOTE_HEADER_ID>
<QUOTE_NUMBER>2027</QUOTE_NUMBER>
<QUOTE_VERSION>1</QUOTE_VERSION>
<QUOTE_NAME>Test GM Report - Rabindra</QUOTE_NAME>
<SOURCE_NAME>Fletcher, MR. Paul</SOURCE_NAME>
<QUOTE_DATE>27-OCT-2005</QUOTE_DATE>
<CURRENCY_CODE>GBP</CURRENCY_CODE>
</G_HEADER>
</LIST_G_HEADER>
The formatting i use for my date field i.e <QUOTE_DATE>, ends up either with NO formatting or giving me an error "[010906_114656657][][ERROR] Invalid XSD string: 27-OCT-2005 (XMLP Template Viewer)". The default formatting available with the form field dialog box (MS-Word) feature also doesn't work.
I have the following formatting for this field in the form field:
<?format-date:QUOTE_DATE; 'MEDIUM' ?>
When i read the user guide, it reads that the date should be in the canonical format i.e: YYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+HH:MM
However i am not getting the date from the base table's in this format. Is the error happening due to incorrect format or is there some other reason behind this? Please let me know, how can i overcome this issue.
Thx,
Nitin

As i mentioned in another thread
substring function and date format
Please use this standards
<?xdofx:expression?>
for extended SQL functions or
<?xdoxslt:expression?>
for extended XSL functions.
Use like
<?xdofx:rpad(LAST_NAME),30, ’x’)?>
<?xdofx:Instr(’abcabcabc’,’a’,2))?>
<?xdofx:upper(char)?>
<?xdofx:lower (char)?>
<?xdofx:greatest ( expr [, expr]... )?>
ETC.....

Need to convert into date format

Hi all,
I need to convert '2008-11-26T11:07:38-06:00' [YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]T[HH]:[MM]:[SS][TIMEZONE]
in format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply
But it is giving me output as '26-NOV-08'
And I want in format '2008-11-26 07:38' i.e 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM'.
>
Then you are not looking for a date, You are looking for a string.
The date format that gets displayed is dependent on nls_date_format parameter.
If you want a string in the format you asked, then,
SELECT TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( '2008-11-26T11:07:38-06:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS"-06:00"'), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MM:SS')
FROM DUAL;Or if you just want the date to be displayed like that then
Do,
SQL> alter session set nls_date_Format="YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS";
Session altered.
SQL> SELECT TO_DATE ( '2008-11-26T11:07:38-06:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS"-06:00"') dt
2 FROM DUAL;

How to convert the numeric to date format

HI ,
     We have created the date KF and selected the data type as DEC-numeric or counter and add in the cube.
      the data for this fields in the cube are in numerics like 734.504, but when we execute the report it is converted in to date format dd.mm.yyyy.
                My issue how this conversion is working in the backend while executing the report.
Regards.
venkata

Conversion is happening because of the type you had selected for the KF while creating it.
Check the type of the Key figure?
While creating the KF you might have selected the Type as Date and Data type -DEC : Counter or amount field with comma and sign.
that's the reason why you are getting the output values displayed in dd.mm.yyyy format.
For amount field - create a KF with type "AMOUNT" and unit -0currency or specify the currency of that region.

I need to know Date format From date of locale.
suppose there is a date "01/25/2010" date in date field I want to get string "mm/dd/yyyy". Actually I have to pass date format to backend when I call RFC.
Is there any way to get Date format from "Locale" object. I should get date format for local object
I get local object from "UserSessionData" object but how to get Date format from it.
I am not looking for Date value. I am looking for current local date format ("mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy or mon/dd/yyyy) whatever local date format. I could not find example which show how to get date format from "Locale" object.
Any help will be appreciated with rewards.
Regards.

Hi,
You can get it from "User" or "Shop" business object.
Try to get User or Shop Business Object as shown below.
BusinessObjectManager bom = (BusinessObjectManager) userSessionData.getBOM(BusinessObjectManager.ISACORE_BOM);
User user = bom.getUser();
char decimalNotation = user.getDecimalPointFormat().getGroupingSeparator();
If you are seeing "1,234.00" then above code will return "."
I hope this information help you to resolve your issue.
