Format of DateTime

Hey,
I'm curious at formatting a date time a certain way. I'm working with XMLBeans and have a node with datatype DateTime. According to the article:
http://www.w3schools.com/schema/schema_dtypes_date.asp
The section under "DateTime Data Type" specifies that:
Time Zones
To specify a time zone, you can either enter a dateTime in UTC time by adding a "Z" behind the time - like this:
<startdate>2002-05-30T09:30:10Z</startdate>
or you can specify an offset from the UTC time by adding a positive or negative time behind the time - like this:
<startdate>2002-05-30T09:30:10-06:00</startdate>
or
<startdate>2002-05-30T09:30:10+06:00</startdate>
I'm working on a PC which is currently has the Windows Time Zone: (UTC) Dublin, Edinburgh, Libson, London
How would I set the value of a node to be of the format as UTC offset (2002-05-30T09:30:10-06:00). I assume that since my PC is already on GMT, the date would be formatted as the 1st startDate (2002-05-30T09:30:10Z) ?
Also, if my PC was at (UTC -5:00) Eastern Time, how would I get that to be formatted like the bold date time?
Is there a single date formatter to handle either of these cases? Never really used the Java classes for date time manipulation.
Thanks

What exactly do you mean "get current time from the PC"? You mean something like new java.util.Date()? If so, all that I said above, other than the DB-specific stuff applies. The Date object is TZ-agnostic. That is, if I'm in Los Angeles with a TZ of PDT and you're in London with a TZ of BST or GMT, and another person is in Tokyo with a TZ of JST, and we all do new Date() at the same instant, we'll all get identical Date objects. That is, the long representing millis since the epoch will be the same.
To format that date according to a given TZ, create a DateFormat object and set its TZ appropriately, and then pass the Date to format(). Note that this does not alter the Date object, as it has no notion of TZ. It just properly formats the String for the TZ you've set. "3:00 PDT" or "6:00 EDT" or "11:00 GMT" (or whatever the difference is).

How to set the format of DATETIME without second

Default format of DATETIME is "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss". But I need to remove the "ss", so I write the coding as below:
oracle.cabo.ui.validate.Formatter formatter =
new oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.OADateValidater("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm", "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");
webBean.findChildRecursive("SagyouStart").setAttributeValue(ON_SUBMIT_VALIDATER_ATTR, formatter);
However, when I click the submit button, a error message about date format error will be shown in the page.
If I set attribute of the submit button, which "serverUnvalidated" is TRUE, the page can be fine.
Still, have other ways? Thank.

1. Are you planning to insert the data into the table or just display purpose?
2. if you want to insert into the table, then you modify thru
OANLSServices Class. You can get instantiate thru transaction.getOANLSServices. This class has many methods to chage from String to DateTime or DateTime to JavaDate .
Hope this helps.
Thanks

How to return a different format of datetime type in sql?

hi ,
i think this is a dumb question for all of you guys but since i am new here, hope you can help me. here is my problem i have a column in my table that has a namae Date and a type of datetime, what i want is to display the date in grid(UI) using a different
format, cause right now this is the value returning.
02.11.2011 10:23:02
what i want is to return the value without the time.
please advise thanks!

What grid you're talking about? What kind of application is that? I'm quite sure you should be able to format date fields the way you want - your question then has nothing to do with SQL Server.
Of course, you can return dates as character (as Tom suggested) in the predefined format, but I'd rather investigate formatting options of the grid control.

Change DateTime format property to DateTime

Hi,
I have a DateTime field in contenttype.
Field was set to DateOnly Format but user wants it to be as DateTime field. As it is already in live I have written a Feature upgrade reciever to update all the existing field. After Solution and feature upgrade its working fine for the new items but not
to the existing files. I tried by updating the list field directly but the changes does not replicate in Edit/Display forms of an items.
I have checked through Sharepoint Manager and the format DateTime.
How can i change the DateOnly format to DateTime in existing list.
Thanks

Hi Mohammed,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the Date only field to Date Time in existing fields in SharePoint.
I recommend to edit the date column in the browser directly.
Please go to the List settings in the list where the content type is used and then click the date field under Columns. After that you can edit the date field to Date and Time format and all the existing fields will be updated with 12:00 AM value with the
date value.
Best regards.
Thanks

Error while parsing date format

Hi Friends
I am using db2 as backend for my project and currently facing an issue with the parsing of the date.
The date being returned from the db is in the format - yyyy-MM-dd-HH.mm.ss.SSS000 and the return type is String.
when i try to parse and convert it into a date object. i get the following error
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2011-05-30-20.23.25.319000"
the code to format is as below
String dateTime = "2011-05-30-20.23.25.319000";
java.text.SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd-HH.mm.ss.SSS000");
Date date =format.parse(dateTime);
please provide your comments as to what i am doing wrong here.and if possible let me know the solution.
Best Regards
Vikeng

Use this instead:
java.text.SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd-HH.mm.ss.SSS");

Upload into datetime

Hi i have an csv file which i have a date time column which i
need to upload to mysql database column with is formatted as
datetime
the problem i have is the csv is formatting the date time as
mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss which will not upload
i have tried uploaing via a http request, is there a way of
changing the format in th csv or adding some cf code to change the
format after the http request
the http code i am using is
<cfloop index="currRow" from="#form.startRow#"
to="#form.dispRows#">
<cfif IsDefined("form.ID_#currRow#")>
<cfset ID = Evaluate("form.ID_" & currRow)>
<cfquery name="INSERT" datasource="#application.ds#">
UPDATE records
SET Dateoh = '#form["DateofSM_#currRow#"]#'
WHERE ID = #ID#
</cfquery>
<cfelse>
<cfbreak>
</cfif>
</cfloop>

Probably not but you can try it. Dateformat returns a string,
not a datetime object. CreateDateTime will create a datetime object
but you have to use it the way the manual tells you to. From then,
either createodbcdatetime or cfqueryparam will work.

Formatting Date Field

Hi,
I'm using the following script to display the current day,
but it does not display in the format that I need. The date
displays as: 11/07/2007. I need it to display as 110707.
Any suggestions on the code to have the results display in
MMDDYY format?
Thanks!!
var today_date : Date = new Date();
var date_str:String =
((today_date.getMonth()+1)+"/"+today_date.getDate()+"/"+today_date.getFullYear());

Stored Value:
Go to the collection or table, and click on the header. If the column is stored as Text, it will display the format described above. If you change the format to DateTime, only the Date will be displayed.
Displayed Value:
Assuming your dates are stored in a column called Date, and you're displaying it in a gallery, use the following for the Text property of a label.
Short Date: Text(ThisItem!Date,"dd/mm/yy")
Long Date: Text(ThisItem!Date,"dd/mmm/yyyy")

Converting Oracle TIMESTAMP(4) column to SQL datetime column conversion error in ssis

I could not able to convert Oracle TIMESTAMP(4) column to SQL datetime column conversion error in ssis.
I'm connecting OLEDD Oracle Source to OLEDB SQL Destination in SSIS package. I'm trying to insert data from oracle datetime column into sql datetime column. I'm getting some errors.

You can transform the data types directly at the source by writing a proper SQL statement, or you can convert them using the data conversion component.

Problem to get datetime

Hi,
Is there a way to convert
23APR15
to a datetime? I got one exception to such codes
dt1 = DateTime.ParseExact(curr_dt, "DDMMMYY", null);
worksheet.Cells[rw, 1] = dt1.ToString("mm/dd/yyyy");
Many Thanks & Best Regards, Hua Min

Hi HuaMin,
Do you mean this error? Here is my screenshot on my side when reproduce your code,
There is no "DDMMMYY" format in DateTime. You can refer to
Standard Date and Time Format Strings for more detailed information.
The following code make sense.
DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss"); // case sensitive
In addition, here is a pattern for en-us culture.

Formatting date on EL in runtime

Forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong place.
I'm trying to put a date on a page where the date is in a session variable. I access it in EL via:
#{sessionScope.loginBean.plotData.completionDate}
If I put this into an HTML markup component in runtime it renders on the page as:
2013-02-08
However I'd like to format this date to include the month name to save any confusion.
so I saw this:
date:format(aDate, "yyy-MMM-dd")
in one of the manuals so tried:
#{date:format(sessionScope.loginBean.plotData.completionDate, "yyy-MMM-dd")}
And various other combinations - but its giving a format error when I try and render it.
The login bean is defining the date object as: private Date completionDate so it should be outputting a date object. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance and If I'm posting in the wrong forum please let me know where I should be.

Hi Navin,
I got it working, I used your suggestion, but changed it to my requirement.
I used following format.
DateTime
Odt = Convert.ToDateTime(Row.OrderDate.Substring(0,
4) + "-"+
Row.OrderDate.Substring(4, 2) + "-"+
Row.OrderDate.Substring(6, 2));
Thanks.

DateTime field in forms using Adobe LiveCycle

Hi Everyone,
Iv'e created a custom report and has difficulty in formatting the DateTime fields where I wanted to show "EST" timezone but the report is setting it to "GMT". I'm not sure where to configure the timezone in Adobe LiveCycle when the data that I'm using already has an EST timezone. This is the pattern that I'm using date{MMM D, YYYY} time{h:MM:SS A Z}. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

How can I display date+time and not the point number in excell?

Hi everyone,
Could anybody tell me how I can save date + time to a file, so that I can display on a diagram(excel) : date+time in (ox) and data (oy)? :
My program sets in (ox) the point number and not the date+time....( although date and time are written correctly in the column...)
Any help would be great,
Thanks,
regards,
Marc

hi there,
excel uses 01.01.1900 00:00 as the time offset, LabVIEW uses 01.01.1904 02:00, so you can't display the correct datetime in excel when you write the time as a fractional number of seconds from LabVIEW. you must format the datetime in LabVIEW to a string and write that to the column. use the "Format Date/Time String" - function and for example "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S%3u" as the format string (see the functions help for more examples). you also could format your data to a string using "Format Into String" - function and write the file as a 2D string array. the decimal point you have to use depends on your system and its settings, but you can specify the decimal point in the Format string like "%.;%f" (means fractional number with point as decimal point).
best regards

How can I convert SQL Server 2008 Timestamp to DB2/iSeries Timestamp?

In DB2/iSeries I have a column that accepts Timestamp value. When I try to insert a timestamp value from the SQL 2008 table and into DB2/iSeries table I recieve the following error message:
OLE DB provider "IBMDA400" for linked server "XXX" returned message "SQL0180: Syntax of date, time, or timestamp value not valid.
Cause . . . . . : The string representation of a date, time, or timestamp value does not conform to the syntax for the specified or implied data type and format. *N is either the character string constant that is not valid or the column or host
variable that contained the string. If the name is *N, then the value is an expression specified in the statement. If the string was found in a host variable, the host variable number is 1. Recovery . . . : Ensure that the date, time, or
timestamp value conforms to the syntax for the data type it represents. Try the request again.".
Msg 7343, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "IBMDA400" for linked server "XXX" could not INSERT INTO table "[IBMDA400]".
The SQL timestamp column contains the result in the following format:
2014-04-24 07:39:09.000
And my insert TSQL command is:
INSERT INTO OPENQUERY(XXX, 'Select "TimeOfDeal" from ABCD.TICKETS')
SELECT TimeOfDeal
FROM dbo.Tickets
WHERE DealId = 'ABC123'
I appreciate any help on this issue.

You are right it is a datetime data type in MS SQL, and a Timestamp in DB2.
I cast it to datetime2 and it worked.
Interesting. I would guess that somewhere under the covers, the date value gets converted to a string, and the different default string formats for datetime and datetime2 is illustrated with this statement:
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate()), convert(varchar, sysdatetime())
When I ran it, I got these values:
Feb 23 2015 12:31PM 2015-02-23 12:31:18.3708899
Now, why there is a conversion to string in the first place, I'm afraid I don't have any good answer to.
