Format Date for time.

i have a doubt as to how to store the date along with time from my front-end Forms Developer Suite 9i application.
I am trying to give this kind of statement from SQL-plus:-
update login_master set last_accessed=to_Char(sysdate,'dd-mon-yy HH:mi:ss')
where login_ID = :GLOBAL.LOGIN_ID
but, there is a message which comes like this:-
ORA-01830 date format picture ends before converting string.
Also, i want to compare this time stored against time a little later, say after 1 or 2 hrs to get number of minutes.
How can i do this? I hope, my question is clear. Please help in solving the doubt.
regards.

Convert XML string into an abap format date and time

Hi,
Does anyone know of a method or a function module in ABAP which converts XML string into an abap format date and time.
Here is a part of the xml that I want to convert.
<ns2:EventDateTime>2009-07-02T10:13:45+10:00</ns2:EventDateTime>
<ns2:EventMessageTransmissionDateTime>2009-07-02T10:13:45.987+10:00</ns2:EventMessageTransmissionDateTime>
Currently EventDateTime and EventMessageTransmissionDateTime are type XSDDATETIME_Z and these are converted to proper dates and times. We will be changing these fields to a STRING instead of XSDDATETIME_Z. The reason for this is to make the field more versatile. The customer would be receiving dates with Zulu (2009-09-23T12:00:00Z), with offsets (2009-09-23T12:00:00+10:00/-10:00) and just local timestamp (2009-09-23T12:00:00). With this, we need to make the date fields as string
to be able to accept the various date formats (esp. the local timestamp).
I am looking for a standard function module or method that will convert the xml string to a proper date and time abap format.
Would appreciate anyone's help!
Thanks.

How to format data for a custom group

Hi all
I have a pivot table with Actual and Budget as columns and some accounts in the rows. Since I'm using the account hierarchical column, I created custom groups for the accounts using the Selection steps pane. For example, I created a new group called Profit to combine 3 different Profit accounts and display one Profit line.
Now I want to format the data for the Profit group. I right-click on the Profit group, choose to edit the group and click on the Format button on the bottom left corner. I add some formatting, e.g. borders. When I now view the pivot table, borders have been applied to the label of the group - so the word Profit is now bordered. However, the values in the Actual and Budget columns do not have a border. Don't know what I'm missing, but I want both the group label and the values to be formatted the same way.
How can I apply formatting to the data/values for the custom group?

Yeah tried that already, it formats the entire column whereas I need just the values for the Profit row to be formatted. Seems it is a limitation only when using custom groups?

I'm a newbie and I'm working with smartforms.
My requirement is to get the following format of date and time in a text within a template.

Z10 Voice Control speaks in US-format date for Uk date

Issue: UK format date 02/08/13 is "said" by Voice Control as "2nd August" - the date is in the calendar correctly as 8th Feb.
Steps to repeat the issue: "Schedule new appointment" using the Voice Control and add an appointment today (8th Feb 2013) - correctly added to the Calendar but the voice confirmation says "2nd August".

Hey dpjf,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.

When you go to Settings> Voice control> Is the Language set to English UK?
Go into Settings> Language and Input> What is the Display Language and Region set to?
Thanks.

Change format date for Calendar Prompt!!!

Hello there,
For a date prompt when I choose *"Calendar"* in my control, the default format shown by the calendar is d/mm/yyyy.
I want to save the value of my date prompt into a Presentation variable with the format yyyy-mm-dd. What conversion function can be used to achieve this?. In oracle the easiest way is TO_CHAR(dateHere,'YYYY-MM-DD') but when I apply this in the Edit Formula of the prompt it gives me an error.
I know the date format for a Calendar object can be changed in the configuration file, but I want to avoid this, because I might affect other users.
Please help.
Thanks

Updating master data for time dimensions from front end

Hi Experts,
I am sure this must be handled in a very straight forward way. Just want to know the best practice here. We are working on a copy of appset and want to completely revamp the time dimension papers as per client's fiscal year which is april to march every year.
When we have deleted all the existing memebers from the time dimension master data from BPC front end and replaced with new memebers, the task is getting completed successfully.
But when I check back in BI for the master data, it has not replaced all the existing members. How best to handle this?
The transaction data is deleted from all the application cubes. Are there any checks to be performed?
Thanks,
Santosh

Closing the thread as I could not replicate the problem. The problem is resolved.
Thanks,
Santosh

Document date for time zone of user

We have modeled the date of documents 0CREATEDON (document header and item details) to time dimensions of InfoCubes. The 0CREATEDON date reflects the system date i.e. CST. The report user wants sales document based reporting to reflect his/her time zone date.
We have added an additional field to the sales document header extractor that records time zone date of where document was created. This does not exist for document details extractor.
Has anyone come up against this problem? How have you modeled the data to provide such a reporting capability? Is there date conversion routines for reporting that would convert time zone dates?

With ABAP you can use the function "CONVERT TIME ZONE". If you type this in a test-program with se38 and then press F1 while the cursos is on the wordt CONVERT you will get all necessary explanation.
Note: I think that the timezone of the user is available in one of the sy-fields. The daylight savings indicator is available as a sy-field for sure.

Formating Data for Read from Spreadsheet

Hello,
I am trying to read data with the function Read from Spreadsheet. Can I do this with a file in Excel? I saved it as a .csv file, both tab and comma delimited and neither work. Does this function truely read from a spreadsheet, or does it need to be a text file? What is the correct format for this data?
Thank you!

You need to set the "delimiter" input of the Read from Spreadsheet vi. Wire a string constant with a comma in it and you should be fine. A .csv file is really just a text file anyway.
The other problem that I saw was that you set the "transpose" input to true, this caused the data to be stored in the array across two rows, when your code was looking for it to be down the two columns. Change that boolean to false and you should be all set, it works on this end at least.
I hope this helps. Let us know if it doesn't!

Difficulty with Format Value for Time Format

I have a vi where the current time is split out of an Analog waveform (using Get Waveform Components), and subtracted from a starting time, to result in a relative time since the test began. This may not be the most elegant way of doing it, but it works great. The problem is that when I try to convert the elapsed time in seconds back to a time format for saving to a spreadsheet, I get the results shown by the probes. In case the screen capture is not clear enough, the format string is %<%H:%M:%S>t. A colleague has tried this format and it works great. He's running 8.2, and I'm running 7.1. Other than that, our applications appear identical. Any ideas?

Screen Capture2 of Time Format for HTV.png ‏17 KB

I'm also on 8.2 and it works fine for me. Maybe format value couldn't handle time format codes in 7.1. I'm not really sure and I don't have it installed to check. Why don't you use "Format into String" instead? It will work the same way, and should work fine with 7.1.

Bex query-KEY date for time dependent objects

Hi
I have one infoobject called 0customer that has one time dependent attribute .called status. I would know how the system works in the following senario for the a given key date(which in bex properties).
question 1)
customer todate          fromdate    status
1            20071231     20070101     Y
1            20081231     20080101      N
1            20091231     20081101      X
can the data in the infoobject be overlapped? is the 3 rd record is valid in the above example - as months(11&12of2008) overlapping with second record? ? pls advise
question 2)
customer todate          fromdate    status
1            20071231     20070101     Y
1            20081231     20080101      N
1            20091231     20090101      X
If the keydate is 20080201 which record will it return?would it return the record that has status 'N'?
what does the keydate is compared against? is it with from date or todate or between fromdate and todate? does the query return only one customer record for a given customer when it runs in the query?
Please advise.
Thanks
Vennela

1) Normally you cannot activate the data with this constellation. If you have inconsistent master data you can repair with transaction RSRV.
2) The system returns N for key data 20080201.

Format axis for time based on xml file

I am creating a graph with data that was pulled each minute.
I have a time entry in the xml file. When I use a categoryaxis it
creates the graph correctly, but how can I get it to only display
the time field every 30 minutes on the horizontal axis. Right now
the time is unreadable because it displays all of the time entries.
I still want each entry just not the time field.

The following link contains some source code on the subject:
