Format 0CALMONTH from MM.YYYY to MMYYYY in Bex

Hi,
Currently I am using 0CALMONTH in my reports, by it's nature it is displaying the values in report as MM.YYYY format.
Is there a way I can display this from MM.YYYY to MMYYYY(without dot). I do not want to change settings either in control panel or un the user profile. Because I just need this format specific to this report only.
Any thought very much appreciated.
Regards,
Ramesh

Hi,
Try to under stand what I am asking :
What is the domain(or data type) used for the ZZDATE field.
Ok ,
If some records are having proper format and others are having wrong format, even we canot correct this with routine also. So in this case you have to edit manually at PSA, then do upload.
You are right, when we are populating data to ODS , if there is any wrong format of value, it will not disply the error at the time of loading .It will through the error at the time of activation.

Hi,
you can use SimpleDateFormat to parse Date objects to formatted Strings
SimpleDateFormat (Java Platform SE 7 )
Note that dependent in your Date type you may deal with Date or SQL Date in ADF BC. SqlDate woild need to be converted to Date first and then parsed into a formatted String. I suggest you Google for SimpleDateFormat examples

How do I get the date format of MM/DD/YYYY to be recognized in Numbers?

I recently switched from Windows and Excel. All the bank details that I export from my bank have dates formatted as mm/dd/yyyy. Excel has no issues dealing with this but Numbers will not recognize the cell contents as a date. Any help?

I have similar problems with data copied & pasted from a banking web page into Numbers. I always first check to see that the cells are formatted as date & time, but that doesn't always fix the problem. The problem usually ends up being spaces before and/or after the numbers in a cell.

How to convert JAVA.SQL.DATE date in YYYY/MM/DD format into DD/MM/YYYY

i am using informix database which accepts date value in the form of DATE format......
the other part of my application takes date from the field in DD/MM/YYYY format...so i have to convert my java.sql.date in YYYY/MM/DD fromat into DD/MM/YYYY fromat of same type before inserting into db......
but using parse method in SimpleDateFormat class can get the result only in java.util.date format...
and also using format method can result only in string conversion........

Maybe you mean Informix (fronted by JDBC) expects date values as java.sql.Date objects?
the other part of my application takes date from the field in DD/MM/YYYY format...
so i have to convert my java.sql.date in YYYY/MM/DD format into DD/MM/YYYY format of same type before inserting into db......I am not sure why you are talking about formats here.
There is no formatting inherent in a java.util.Date object
nor in a java.sql.Date object.
but using parse method in SimpleDateFormat class can get the result only in java.util.date format...
and also using format method can result only in string conversion........You can easily create a java.sql.Date object from a java.util.Date object.
String s = "31/12/2010";
java.util.Date ud = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").parse(s);
java.sql.Date sd = new java.sql.Date(ud.getTime());
ud = sd; // java.sql.Date extends java.util.Date so no conversion is needed

Formatting a date in YYYY-MM-DD format in a grid in We dynpro abap

ABAP is pretty good about automatically using the user's profile settings for formatting. That enforces consistency across applications. If you want to override this, you will need to do it at the data level. Instead of defining this field in the context as a data - define it like a string or char10. Then when you populate the data within your business logic do a WRITE statement from the data field to the character field. During the WRITE command you can specify the date formatting option:
From the online syntax of WRITE:
Addition 15
... DD/MM/YY | MM/DD/YY
| DD/MM/YYYY | MM/DD/YYYY
| DDMMYY | MMDDYY
| YYMMDD
Effect: These additions influence the output of data objects of the data type d. In all other data types, the addition is ignored.
The content of a data object of type d is interpreted as a valid date in the format YYYYMMDD and is output as follows for the individual additions:
DD/MM/YY and MM/DD/YY:
Both additions have the same effect. The date output has a two-digit year value and a separator. The separator and the order are taken from the definition for date output in the user master record.
DD/MM/YYYY und MM/DD/YYYY:
Both additions have the same effect. The date output has a four-digit year value and separator. The separator and the order are taken from the definition for date output in the user master record.
DDMMYY und MMDDYY:
Both additions have the same effect. The date output has a two-digit year value and no separator. The order is taken from the definition for date output in the user master record.
YYMMDD:
This addition provides a date output with a two-digit year value without a separator in the format YYMMDD.
But even this approach is going to have limited impact. It will only let you chose between the allowed formatting types from the user master. YYYY-MM-DD is not one of those formats.
So if you really want a non-SAP formatted date you will have to break it up yourself. The internal date format is always stored as YYYYMMDD. You can just parse it out:
data year type char4.
data month type char2.
data day type char2.
year = sy-datum+0(4).
month = sy-datum+4(2).
day = sy-datum+6(2).
data date_string type char10.
concatenate year `-` month `-` day into date_string.

How Do I Display HTML Formatted Text From A Data Table In Crystal Reports?

I'm creating reports in Crystal XI. The information being displayed in the reports comes from data tables where the text is formatted in HTML.
I've worked with Crystal Reports enough to know that HTML text pulled from a data table doesn't appear in Crystal the same way it does in a web browser. Crystal Reports ignores all the tags (...unless I'm missing something...) and just displays the text.
Someone far more Crystal savy than I (...who I don't have access to...) came up with a Formula Field workaround that tricks Crystal Reports into displaying some basic HTML tags. Here's that workaround:

QUESTION - Does any similar workaround exist so I can display an HTML Table in Crystal Reports? If not, is there any way to display HTML formatted text from a data table in Crystal Reports as it would appear in a web browser?

Hi Steven,
To display html text in Crystal Reports follows these steps.
1. Right click on the field and select Paragraph tab.
2. Under 'Text Interpretation' select 'HTML Text' and click OK.
I have tried using the way,but it never works.So reply me if there is any way to solve the issue

Copy and paste user formatted text from Filemaker to...

I need to copy user formatted text from Filemaker to any text program that will maintain the formatting. Subsequently it will be going to an rtf. I have limited knowledge of Filemaker and Applescript (and I am not sure that Applescript is the right approach). This is a repetitive process with frequently changing data and users who use italics on a word one day and then decide to bold it the next day. I have created an Applescript that copies and pastes the text into either TextEdit or Microsoft Word but the user formatting is always lost. It is frustrating that I can use Apple-C and Apple-V and the formatting is maintained. But I need to automate this process. Here is a copy of my humble attempt at an Applescript to do the job. it copies the text but not the formatting.
tell application "FileMaker Developer"
open "MacintoshHD:Users:stuart:Desktop:Practice.fp7"
set the clipboard to record 2 of table 1 of database 1 as styled text
end tell
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
set the text of document 1 to (get the clipboard as text) as string
end tell
tell application "Microsoft Word"
activate
set myRange to create range active document start 0 end 0
insert text (get the clipboard) at myRange
end tell

I'm not familiar with 'styled text'- which does not mean much other than it's on a very long list of things I don't know. But I do know you can cut several steps out here:
If your script works so far then you can clean it up:
tell application "FileMaker Developer"
open "MacintoshHD:Users:stuart:Desktop:Practice.fp7"
set mytext to record 2 of table 1 of database 1 as styled text
end tell
tell application "Microsoft Word"
activate
set myRange to create range active document start 0 end 0
insert text (mytext) at myRange
end tell
Also try:
set mytext to contents of record 2 of table 1 of database 1 as styled text

Format data from backened in to a word document

Dear All,
I will be getting the data from backened system.
I want to write that data in a word document in the formatted way from webdynpro java. Is that possible,
Waiting for your replies.

Hi,
I think you'll need 3rd party library help to generate a word file along with styles.
Right now I can only think of two:
1.<a href="http://support.softartisans.com/support-216.aspx">OfficeWriter</a>
2.<a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hwpf/index.html">Apache POI</a>
And in case you need help with using 3rd party libraries, you can look at <a href="/people/valery.silaev/blog/2005/07/05/the-quik-brouwn-fox-jamps-ovrr-the-laizy-dog blog.

How can I export formatted text from a string indicator?

Does someone know how I can export formatted text (i.e., parts of the text have different formatting, such as color, fontsize, etc.) from a string indicator? Using copy/paste does not work, as it only exports unformatted plain text.

Hello Sparti,
Thank you for your suggestions, they are all very useful, and I plan to use the HTML feature under Report Generation to export the formatted text from Labview. However, I am still not sure how I can extract the formatted text from a *string indicator* and transfer it to one of those VIs, so that it can be exported to other applications. Let me give some more specific info on what I am trying to achieve: I am monitoring the communication between two pieces of equipment. A string indicator shows all the data flow, with different colors for data coming from different instruments. I managed to do that by using a property node and playing with the selection and font color properties. Now, if you just wire the output of the string indicator, the formatting is gone and all you get is just plain black text (for instance, try to programmatically transfer the formatted text from one string indicator to a different string indicator and you will see that the formatting is not preserved). Even if you try the "brute force" method of manually selecting and copying the text in the indicator and pasting it to Word, LV does not export the formatting. But, if you paste *within* LV (for example, paste it to a string constant in your diagram), then it works. To extract the formatted string from the indicator, I also tried to use a property node, but without success. I am trying to avoid duplicating part of my code to generate the same color-coding scheme on a report. It would be way easier to be able to transfer the formatted text from the string indicator. This is particularly annoying, because the information is there, stored in the data structure associated with the string indicator. But how can I put my hands on it? Any ideas?

Printing formatted text from an Oracle form

I'm trying to print formatted text from an Oracle form without using the standard menu print. The print button on the menu prints out the text and the actual form. I just want to print the text that is displayed on the form. I would like to add a print button to the form. Is there a print function or event in PL/SQL?
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Jason

If you are interested in the content of the field you can loop over them (next_item built in) and write their content into a file using the TEXT_IO built in.
for nicer outputs check out Oracle Reports on OTN.
