Dynamic date formatting

Is there a function module or some other method (in 4.6C) that can write a date in a format supplied dynamically? I searched in SE37 but I don't find what I'm looking for and most of them aren't documented
I know of the addition to the write command, but it seems there you have to hardcode them - it's not what I'm looking for.

Hi,
using CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_output
or output we convert date format.
and also using SET DATE MASK u can convert date format .
after display that .
if use full reward points.

Dynamic date format in a VO

Hi All
Jdev 11.1.1.6.0.
I have a query based VO with an attribute named date range which is a concatenation of two dates (SELECT DATE1||' - '||DATE2 as date_range
FROM xyz)
date_range is a display only field in UI.
I want to apply different date formats(individually on DATE1/DATE2 and then show the concatenation) based on the user logged on.
Is there a way I could achieve this at VO level itself because at UI level it doesn't look feasible to apply a af:convertDateTime pattern ="<mydatepattern">
If it could be done at UI level also, I'll appreciate pointers.
Thanks a lot

our online doc would be a good place to start. try...

Exporting Dynamic data to a formatted excel-readable array

Hi all,
I am trying to export some data into an excel sheet (csv) by creating a new file in which the data is stored. With the current set up that i have, i keep on running into the following problems:
1. After every iteration in a single run, a dialogue box pops up and asks me where to save the data, after i have already specified a file name
2. The data format in the excel file is not what i wasnt. The data is all displayed as one string while i would like it to store the data in different columns.
Some background: In the section of the vi that i have attached, i use 2 DAQ assistants. The first is used to obtain the initial voltage value at the 2 piezos which is then fed into the rest of the vi, this needs to be done just once, at the beginning of the vi run. The second DAQ asst is used to monitor and save the voltage as it is gradually increased and applied to the piezos.
A picture of the section of the vi im having trouble with is attached, along with the entire vi.
I would appreciate any help you can give me on these problems.
Thanks!

I Cant run your vi at the moment but from what i can see.
- use the file open vi from the file I/O pallette rather than the Express file open VI you have and supply it with a proper path, not a string.
- I prefer to use .csv (Commas Seperated) instead of tab seperated as i find it easier to read in a string indicator or similar and is just as easy to open in excell.
- How many Samples is your 2nd Express DAQ function doing? If it is multiple you will need to seperate the samples by comma also (or average them out etc).
- I rarely use dynamic data but i think you would be best to extract the actual data values out from the data type at least to get you up and running (It is coerced at the moment and may not be doing what you expect it to do).

Handle Date format in a dynamic way

Hi Experts,
I need to handle the date format in a dynamic way in different systems.
Sample Scenario:
In my DEV system i am writing a select query where i need to validate the date field which is of the format 12/31/9999.
select * from <table> where date = '12/31/9999'.
This gets relevant records & works fine in DEV system.
But when it goes to QA system the same select query fails to fetch data as the date format is 12.31.9999.
select * from <table>
where date = '12/31/9999'. --> Fails
Similarly when it is PRD system (production) the same select query fails as the date format is 12-31-9999.
select * from <table>
where date = '12/31/9999'. --> Fails
Please post your suggestions.
Thanks
Dany

If you are looking at the date from SE16, or some other output screen, dates are converted to what is referred to as external format. But when they are stored, they are stored in internal format which is always YYYYMMDD. So when you are doing a SELECT from database table using a date field in your WHERE clause, you have to use internal format of the date (YYYYMMDD). When you output a date that you extracted onto a screen using WRITE statement, it will be converted to external format depending on user format specifications. But the date will be in internal format within your program, so if you are transferring a date from the database directly to a file, you are transferring it as YYYYMMDD. If you need it in external format, then you have to use WRITE...TO... option. See help on WRITE command.

How can I dynamically change the Application Date Format?

Hi everyone...
In my application (v 3.2) I let the user set the application date format dynamically through a "preference" value they can change on the go.
I then take the format they pick and assign their value (ie: DD-MON-YYYY) and pad 'HH:MI' to it and use this as the PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK which works great for most date pickers.
The problem I have is that some date picker I use in the application don't require the HH:MI, they simply need the DD-MON-YYYY part. Could I use the NLS_DATE_FORMAT for this? Would I then be able to use date pickers with the "use application date format"? It doesn't seem to work for me.
In other words, I basically need 2 date formats for my application date pickers; 1 for simply the dates and 1 for dates including time. And these 2 formats are chosen by the user by setting an application preference dynamically at run time.
Not sure if I make sense here....any idea?
Thanks!
Francois

"use application date format" is the choice you want.

Date Formatting in Charts and Dynamic column resizing in Cross tabs

Hi All,
I am new to Design Studio, so am in desperate need of your help on the following:
Is there a way we can change the date format in x axis in charts?
For ex: Am getting dates as mm/yyyyy from BW but requirement is to show in yy-Mon
Requirement is to display data in cross tab just below the charts. How can I make the column widths in the cross tab the same as x-axis divisions in the chart? Also, this will be dynamic as depending on filter selection x axis scaling in charts will vary.
In cross tab, can I hide the column header?
Would really appreciate any kind of help from you.
Thanks & Regards
Swasti

HI Swasti,
To answer your first question, in Design Studio it's what you see is what you get! so it shows the Data Labels as it is in the BEx output, if you have to modify this you have to change it in the Background.
There might be CSS workarounds, but I am not sure if that will satisfy your requirements.
You can fix the Column width, but it would be constant, aligning that to your X-axis would require a lot of Effort.
You cannot hide the Column header directly, but one workaround would be to use a white BG text component to overlay on the Crosstab.

Settng Data Format Dynamically

Hi All,
How to set the data format to a column dynamically?
I have a column, which displays Amount, in a Request. For this Column, I have chosen 'Override Default Data Format' and set the 'Decimal Places' to 2.
But, for some Reports I need to display the Amount without any decimal places viz., 1234.00 ---> 1234.
How can I do this?
Thanks in Advance,
-Vency

You'd apply the formatting in the Business Model and Mapping layer - and then drag the columns into the Presentation layer.
Right mouse click the source column, click 'duplicate'. Select the duplicated column (call it what you want) click properties, and from the data type tab edit the mapping applying any format expression you want.
The other alternative is to do it in the physical layer, most of my base objects are database views so I could just add the extra column in there.

XML Publisher - Dynamic Data Columns Issue

Hi,
I am creating a amortization report where I need to show the amortization schedule for unearned revenue. Customers have signed different years of contract and I need to show the amount as per their remaining contract months. So if there are 2 month remaining in the contract then I should show the data for 2 months only and if there are 10 months then I should display 10 months. If we run the report for both customers then it should display two lines in report. For first customer the data should be only for 2 months and for second row(customer) there should be data for next 10 months. These months should be columns in the report(like excel columns, not rows). I need to display all months in columns instead of rows.
I have acheived that using Dynamic Data Columns as mentioned in the user guide. Everything is working fine except following issues -
1. How to create page level total?_
I have created page total in my template using <?add-page-total:TOTUREV;'UREV'?> and displaying using <?show-page-total:TOTUREV?> but when I run the report in excel format these page total do not display. These columns are static columns not dynamic.
If I run the report in pdf format then the static column total is displayed correctly.
2. When I run the report in excel format then report run fine and it shows all the columns properly but if I run the report in pdf format then the dynamic column are not displayed in their own columns, all the columns are overwriting each other in a single columns itself, its not expanding.
3. How do I get the total for the dynamic columns?_
I need to display the page level total for the dynamic columns also, how do I do that?
4. When I run the report in excel format the 2 decimal places of the numbers are gone(it works fine in pdf output), like 12.50 becomes 12.5 and 14.00 becomes 14. I need to maintain those 2 decimal places. I have tried using <fo:bidi-override direction="ltr" unicode-bidi="bidi-override"><?format-number:CVALUE;'999999D99'?></fo:bidi-override> but this does not solve my problem completely. It shows the values correctly in excel but then I am not able to do any calculation on those columns, looks like it converts them to text values.
Any help is really appreicated. Please let me know if you need the xml template and data file.
Regards
Hitesh

Hi Hitesh,
Can you please upload your RTF and XML template file? I will try to spend sometime on this issue.

How do you save dynamic data type, from the DAQ assistant, for use in Excel or matlab?

Currently, I have the following basic VI setup to save Data from my PCI6221 Data Aquisition Card. The problem I'm having is I keep getting the last iteration of the while loop in the measurement file and that's pretty much it. When I try to index the data leaving the loop it gives me a 2D array of Data which cannot be input into the "Write to Measurement File" VI. How would I save this to a useful Data/time step format? I was wondering of a way to continuously collect the Data and then save it in a large measurement file that I would manipulate in Matlab/excel? Am I using the wrong type of loop for this application? I also noticed my Dynamic Data array consists of data, time, timestep and then a vector of the data taken. Is it possible to just get a vector of the time change per sample alongside the data? Sorry for the barrage of questions but any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!

There is a VI in the Express > Signal Manipulation palette called "From DDT" that lets you convert from the Dynamic Data Type to other data types that are more compatible with operations like File I/O....for instance, you could convert your DDT into a 2D array and use the Write To Spreadsheet File.vi. Just a thought...

Tricky dynamic date variant in ABAP query

Hello All,
In an abap query there is a date field in the selection screen with from & to values.
I am trying to create a dynamic variant that will fill the following data into those fields:
From date: will be left blank
To date: will show today's date - 90 days
For example, if today's date is 01/12/2006 the variant should fill the following data into the fields:
From date: <blank>
To date: 01/09/2006
I have tried all the methods I know with dynamic dates calculation in the variant definition but did not manage to create such variant.
Any help will be very appreciated and points would be rewarded generously !
Thank you very much,
Ronen

If the "from" date is meant to be left blank (beginning of time) and the "to" date is some date plus or minus number of days from today, you use the "current +/- days" dynamic date calculation format as was mentioned earlier. Likewise if the "from" date is some date plus or minus today's date, and the "to" date is infinity -- you only need the one Dynamic Date calculation.
To do this, first don't think about this as a date range, think of your Dynamic Date calculation as if this were a single parameter and not a select-option. You are really saying "my date is anything LT/LE this date" or "my date is anything GT/GE this date" -- not a range
In the Save Variant screen, find the desired date select-option and:
1. Choose in column "Selection Variable", a "D" (Dynamic date calculation)
2. Use F4 in the "Name of Variable" column
3. Find "Current date +/- ??? days" or "Current date +/- ??? work days" in the popup, as appropriate
4. For "I/E" (include/exclude) column select as appropriate
5. For "Option" column, choose "LE", "LT", "GE", "GT", "NE" as appropriate
6. After clicking green check mark, enter your plus or minus days (and factory calendar if using work days).
7. Finish saving your variant.
8. You may not see your changes in your variant until you back all the way out of the variant and then redisplay it. You'll see a greyed out date along with the symbol matching your choice (LT, LE, etc.)
Unfortunately if you don't have infinity on either end of the date you are limited to 999 days differences as far as I am aware. If that is the case you can populate TVARVC table with parameter or selection variables, maintain them with STVARV transaction by hand, or use an ABAP program in batch to regularly calculate the values. Then you can reference the TVARVC values in your variant instead of the Dynamic Date calculation.
If someone knows a way to bypass the use of TVARVC for date ranges that are more than 999 days apart please let me know. TVARVC works well but it is extra effort whereas Dynamic Date calculation would be much easier to maintain if the date range could be made larger than 999 days.

URGENT: Date format in Reports Giving me trouble...plz help me out

Hi guru's Can any one help me out
I
n the front end apps we are getting the date value as
BOM_SRS_DATETIME_STANDARD
Where we are entering the date value as MM/DD/RRRR HH24:MI:SS
The date format set in the company is like RRRR/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS
SO I format masked the date parameter in .RDF to RRRR/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS format.
While the actual date format in the data base is like DD/MM/RRRR HH24:MI:SS.
I checked all the old reports and the date format is like they masked the date format to company format and used the afterparameter trigger like bellow:
if :P_SENT_DATE_FROM is not null and :P_SENT_DATE_TO is null then
:P_SENT_DATE_TO := :P_SENT_DATE_FROM;
end if;
if (:P_SENT_DATE_FROM = :P_SENT_DATE_TO) and (:P_SENT_DATE_FROM is not null) then
:WHERE_SQL := :WHERE_SQL || ' AND CREATION_DATE = '||' to_date('''||:P_SENT_DATE_FROM||''''||','||'''DD-MON-RR'')';
else
if :P_SENT_DATE_FROM is not null then
:WHERE_SQL := :WHERE_SQL || ' AND CREATION_DATE >= '||' to_date('''||:P_SENT_DATE_FROM ||''''||','||'''DD-MON-RR'')';
end if;
if :P_SENT_DATE_TO is not null then
:WHERE_SQL := :WHERE_SQL || ' AND CREATION_DATE <= '||' to_date('''||:P_SENT_DATE_TO ||''''||','||'''DD-MON-RR'')';
end if;
end if;
I tried this but i couldnt get the output either.
I am pretty much confused.
Plz help me out...

If you want to use a dynamic where caluse in your report query you can use a Reference Cursor using REF CUR QUERY tool in your report like this :
function QR_1RefCurDS return DEF_CURSORS.CHARACT_REFCUR is
temp_CHARACT DEF_CURSORS.CHARACT_refcur;
begin
IF :FROM_NO IS NULL AND :TO_NO IS NULL THEN
open temp_CHARACT for SELECT ACCT_CODE, ACCT_NAME
FROM CHARACT
ORDER BY ACCT_CODE;
ELSIF :TO_NO IS NULL AND :FROM_NO IS NOT NULL THEN
open temp_CHARACT for select ACCT_CODE, ACCT_NAME
FROM CHARACT
WHERE ACCT_CODE=:FROM_NO
ORDER BY ACCT_CODE;
ELSIF :TO_NO IS NOT NULL AND :FROM_NO IS NOT NULL THEN
open temp_CHARACT for select ACCT_CODE, ACCT_NAME
FROM CHARACT
WHERE ACCT_CODE BETWEEN :FROM_NO AND :TO_NO
ORDER BY ACCT_CODE;
ELSIF :TO_NO IS NOT NULL AND :FROM_NO IS NULL THEN
open temp_CHARACT for select ACCT_CODE, ACCT_NAME
FROM CHARACT
WHERE ACCT_CODE<=:TO_NO
ORDER BY ACCT_CODE;
END IF;
return temp_CHARACT;
end;
But first you have to declare a cursor type in a package

Plot dynamic data with time stamp

Hi All
I would like to create a plot of dynamic data, (Voltage readings taken with an In 6008) versus time.
When the loop starts taking voltage data I would to plot the data versus elapsed time. Voltage versus time elapsed. I have read many examples and tried for many hours to get this to work.
Please help!
Mike

Hi Mike,
Are you using a Waveform Chart? A chart will continuously plot the data versus time as it is acquired. Try right clicking on the x-axis and selecting Properties>> Display Format. Here you can change the way time is displayed on the x-axis. You can also adjust the way the data is displayed by right clicking and going to Properties>>Appearance>>Update Mode.
I hope that helps! If not, can you indicate what specifically you have set up in your code and how the result is different from the plot you would prefer to create.
Thanks,

Date format on form submit

After setting up the date formats with the developer toolbox, the help instructs you to insert KT_formatDate($row_rsRecordset['name_emp']) into your pages. This works great for displaying data, however I can't find what to do to fix the date format upon submitting a form. I am using the Insert Record server behavior and assume the KT_formatDate needs to be added there, but no matter where I put it it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Hi Megan,
ADDT provides a variety of so-called "dynamic data" placeholders which can be used when inserting/updating records. In your case the placeholders in question are...
{NOW} for MySQL date columns
{NOW_DT} for MysQL datetime columns

Change Date Format in VC from Mon Feb 20 00:00:00 GMT 2010

Hi Gurus,
Could someone please offer advice on how I'd change the following field, Mon Feb 20 00:00:00 GMT 2010 to a simple MON 20 FEB 2010?
Thanks,
Bim.

Hi Bim,
You can use the dynamic expression editor to get a short date format.
for example, set the value of a field to =DATE(2010,02,20).
I'm not sure this is what you've asked, if it doesn't help you can you please elaborate some more ?
