Formating a date parameter

hi guys, i have a parameter in my report of type date, the format mask is the way i want it dd/mm/yyyy now i am using these dates in a title on my report and have done the following:
title := 'dates:' ||:RP_DATE_FROM||' to '||:RP_DATE_TO;
however when they are printed out on my report they are in the format dd/mmm/yy ie. 01/JAN/01.
Any help on how to solve this problem would be appreciated.

hi user,
try the following,
title := 'dates:' ||to_char(:RP_DATE_FROM,'dd/mm/yyyy')||' to '||to_char(:RP_DATE_TO,'dd/mm/yyyy');Regards

  • Format of Date parameter

    Does anyone know of a fix for the Date parameter issue. I have seen a number of posts regarding the same problem.
    When Crystal asks for a Date it is required in the format YYYY-MM-DD, now to a majority of database engines this would appear quite normal. To a regular user this is not normal. Here in Australia we use DD/MM/YYYY our 12 year old database was set up to reflect this and all our reports, created in Crystal 8.5, had no problem with this.
    However after spending 1000's of dollars on the latest version I find that it is basically useless because none of my 100's of reports will work, due to this 'Minor' problem.
    If anyone has experience with Crystal reports against an Informix database and has a workaround solution, or even someone not using Informix, please let us know.
    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    Create a string parameter (named eg. olPrint).
    The user will then input its normal way of date inputting. However it has to be in a format you specify in the caption (dd-mm-yyyy  thus 1 December 2007 = 01-12-2007 and not 1-12-2007)
    Then create a formula PrintDate with the syntax:
    DateTime(Date(
                ToNumber(Mid({?olPrint}, 7)),
                ToNumber(Mid({?olPrint}, 4, 2)),
                ToNumber(Mid({?olPrint}, 1, 2))))
    If you then select your report on = {@PrintDate} it should work.
    Hope this helps.
    Bye

  • Formatting a Date Parameter Field

    I created a Date/Time Parameter because the column is date/time.  However, I only want the used to have to input the date portion. I know I can create the parameter as a Date but it returns a negative records even though there are records that meets the criteria.  I know I have done this before, but for the life of me I cannot remember how I did it.
    Can someone refresh my memory.
    Thanks.
    Herbie

    I found a way to get round this, here goes.
    Create a new Parameter
    Change Type to Date Time
    Select Expert
    Select your date time field and set it equal to parameter
    In the parameter fields right click on parameter and select edit.
    Change the type from Date Time to Date
    Select any range values etc at this point because they will reset when you change from date time to date.

  • How to pass date parameter in URL in system date format

    Hi All,
    I am working on a requirement where I need to pass the date parameter in URL. Where date format needs to be system default date format. How can we format date without providing specific date format.
    Also, I got some post which had below example. Can you let me know what this format does.
    '/analysis/report?queryGroupName=Custom-ProjectInfo&TimePeriodBeginning=', <%+%> FCI_CHARFMT(TIME_PERIOD_START_DATE),' <%+%>
    '&TimePeriodBeginning_format=17&link_crumb=true'
    Waiting for response.

    Hi,
    If you're running this in SQL*Plus, you can use substitution variables.
    If you have a file called my_query.sql, like this
    select    A.agent_no,
              (a.first_name || A.agent_name)     as agent_Name,
              P.Policy_No,
              D.Driver_No,
              D.mvr_predict_score,
           D.mvr_received
    from        policy  P,
           agent   A,
           Driver  D
    where       D.request_mvr_hit   = 'M'
    AND       D.mvr_predict_Score > 540
    And       D.request_mvr          = 'D'
    AND        p.fullkey           = d.fullkey
    AND       p.agent_no          = a.agent_no
    AND       d.mvr_received     >= TO_DATE ('&1', 'DD-Mon-YYYY')          -- New
    AND       d.mvr_received     <  TO_DATE ('&2', 'DD-Mon-YYYY') + 1     -- New
    order by  a.agent_no,
                 CASE  a.producer_type
               when  'S'  then 1
               when  'C'  then 2
               when  'R'  then 3
           end
    ;Then you can run it from SQL*Plus by saying something like:
    @my_query  1-Jan-2009  31-Dec-2009&1 in the script will be replace by the 1st argument (1-Jan-2009) and &2 will be replaced by the 2nd argument (31-Dec-2009).
    Notice that the last condition adds 1 to the argument
    AND       d.mvr_received     <  TO_DATE ('&2', 'DD-Mon-YYYY') + 1     -- Newbut uses the < operator (not <=). The result is that if mvr_received is any time on the last day (e.g. 31-Dec-2009 11:59 pm) will be included.

  • CRS 2008 Web Services: Date parameter format issue

    Hi All,
    I have CRS 2008 installations (Dev environment and TEST environment) on two machine (both are on the build 12.1.0.882). I have a web application that runs crystal reports deployed to these servers using web services. On the DEV Server , the report works fine when the reports input parameters are formatted to mm/dd/yyyy format.  But TEST server (which is a new installation) does not accept a date parameter value for this report in this format and returns a "could not set date parameter" error.  The report runs fine if I pass the parameter in yyyy/dd/dd format from the web-application.
    I compared the regional language settings and Business Objects registry entries on both these machines, CMC settings, and they all seem to match. Am I missing something in the configuration or environment setup that is causing this issue? Appreciate any hints on solving this issue. Thanks so much.

    Hi Siva,
    may i know how to do it?
    as i did try to code in the begining by using String for my startDate and endDate. and it is able to consume, but currently if i change the startDate and endDate to Date. it is still able to consume when i change the date from "2008-01-30T10:00:50.342Z" to just "2008-01-30". but when i try to use adobe interactive form. the startDate and endDate i am using the Date/Time Field Type. and the Data Format is as Date. so it will just return "2008-01-30" only.
    the part where i have error is when i try to do a parameter mapping from the interactive form to the web service. it is unable to map as they keep prompting that cannot map a Date to a Time Stamp.
    that is why i stuck at this part.. so i try to find out how to overcome this errors now..

    Hi,
    I have a report where I need to filter values based on dates, so i am using two parameters , From Date and To Date
    I have set the parameter to be Data/time in Parameter Properties -> general tab and Also used an expression to format as mentioned in some of the Forum links for example 
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/2fa790d6-bb28-4e21-8100-fd9ea64ea61b/parameter-date-format-in-ssrs?forum=sqlreportingservices
    i am not getting any error but the format will not change,
    I have already Coverted my datetime values to read as date (yyyy-mm-dd)in the SQL Query but the format in the parameter is still in mm-dd-yyyy format.
    Hope I am not missing something silly and any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Date Format issue while creating date parameter

    While creating date parameter in the crystal reports 2008 with SQL Server 2008 database connection, I want to change the date format according to the specified format in the database.
    For ex: YYYY/MM/DD and MM/DD/YYYY
    This paramter will be editable in the viewer i.e. I'm going to provide option to the user to change start date and end date for data selection.
    Please help!
    Thanks in Advance!

    i found this
    i am trying to get the Enter Values screen for parameters to allow entry in a specific format 'DD-MON-RRRR' connecting to an Oracle database. I found that a hack is possible yet I would prefer a clean solution that wont need files changing on client machines. The hack involved changing some javascript files within the Crystal Reports directory. The problem is I now have the date from the calendar in the correct format but it displays the following prompt: Please enter DateTime in format "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss".
    Is there a way to supress this or better yet a way to specify date format without changing the javascript files of Crystal Reports.
    I am using Crystal Reports 2008 SP1.

  • Sending Date parameter  from the form to Report

    Dear Friend
    Hi everybody, I am sending the date parameter to my report through a form ,and my date format in the form and in the report as follow : DD/MM/YYYY but when I enter the date as 18/1/2004 the system pass this value as follow : 18-JAN-04 but I want the system to pass my date format as 18/1/2004 not as 18-JAN-04 ,how can I do that
    Best regards
    Jamil

    Ino,
    thanks for your answer.
    You're all rigth abouth the index issue. So I've written my SQL like you say in your post. But i get an error : "ORA-... Non-character found where character expected... " or something like that. I've checked nls_date_format in my client machine and the server (DB 8.1.7.4), and also the regional settings in both machines, and all are set to 'DD-MON-YY'. What can be wrong?
    Thanks again for your time.
    Jaime.

    We are querying a OLAP (SSAS 2008) cube using Excel 2007 by creating a data connection to SSAS server with an extended parameter “Custom Data”. We are using custom data parameter to apply our application’s user security to filter dimension
    members in Excel’s pivot table report. We have created a pivot table in Excel and the excel is including this custom data parameter along with each request that excel is submitting to SSAS.
    However, when the user selects “Show Properties in Report” option for a dimension which is selected in Row-axis of pivot table, Excel is not including custom data parameter . Why this “Custom Data” parameter is not being included in
    the request only for this specific case?
    1. The Request which sent from Excel to SSAS when user clicks on “Show Properties in Report” option
    <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Header><Session xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis" SessionId="AE6B294B-4983-4010-BC5F-E0896A49ECD9"/></soap:Header><soap:Body><Discover
    xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis"><RequestType>DISCOVER_LITERALS</RequestType><Restrictions/><Properties><PropertyList><Content>SchemaData</Content><Format>Tabular</Format></PropertyList></Properties></Discover></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
    2. The sample Request which sent from Excel to SSAS for all other requests
    <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Header><Session xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis" SessionId="74165AD6-C240-4634-92A1-61A400A3FC97"/></soap:Header><soap:Body><Discover
    xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis"><RequestType>MDSCHEMA_CUBES</RequestType><Restrictions><RestrictionList><CUBE_NAME>RepCube</CUBE_NAME></RestrictionList></Restrictions><Properties><PropertyList><Catalog>QAV10_12thMay2010</Catalog><Timeout>5000</Timeout><SafetyOptions>2</SafetyOptions><MdxMissingMemberMode>Error</MdxMissingMemberMode><LocaleIdentifier>1033</LocaleIdentifier><DbpropMsmdMDXCompatibility>1</DbpropMsmdMDXCompatibility><CustomData>xxxxxx</CustomData></PropertyList></Properties></Discover></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
    As the Custom Data parameter is missing in 1st request our application logic is throwing a custom exception to Excel and Excel is not able to understand the exception message. Excel is sending the same request repeatedly (going into infinite loop) and the excel
    window is freezed. Not able to work with excel until restarting the Excel.
    Can anyone help me to resolve the above? quick help is much appriciated!
    Thanks,

    Venkat,
    We have a very similar issue, but there is almost no material to help us. If this gets to you, please let me know if you progressed it or whether I need to go to Microsoft for a solution

  • Convert String to Date and Format the Date Expression in SSRS

    Hi,
    I have a parameter used to select a month and year  string that looks like:    jun-2013
    I can convert it to a date, but what I want to do is,  when a user selects a particular month-year  (let's say "jun-2013")
    I  populate one text box with the date the user selected , and (the challenge Im having is)  I want to populate a text box next to the first text box with the month-year  2 months ahead.    So if the user selects 
    jun-2013   textbox A will show  jun-2013 
    and textbox B will show  aug-2013..
    I have tried:
    =Format(Format(CDate(Parameters!month.Value  ),  
    "MM-YYYY"  )+ 2  )   -- But this gives an error
    This returns the month in number format   like "8"    for august...
    =Format(Format(CDate(Parameters!month.Value  ), 
    "MM"  )+ 2  )
    What is the proper syntax to give me the result    in this format =  "aug-2013"  ???
    Thanks in advance.

    You can convert a string that represents a date to a date object using the util.scand JavaScript method, and then format a date object to a string representation using the util.printd method. For more information, see:

    http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.1251.html
    In your case, the code would be something like:
    var sDate = "2013-01-10";
    // Convert string to date
    var oDate = util.scand("yyyy-mm-dd", sDate);
    // Convert date to new string
    var sDate2 = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", oDate);
    // Set a field value
    getField("date2").value = sDate2;
    The exact code you'd use depends on where you place the script and where you're getting the original date string, but this should get you started.

  • SSRS Report date parameter values using SSAS Cube as datasource

    Hey Guys, 
    i m building an SSRS report using SSAS cube as the data source. The report contains shared data-sets which provide the required data. below is the set up.
    Sql server version : Sql server 2008R2
    Report builder 3.0 
    I have, Report A, powered by Dataset D, running on Cube C. The dataset has 3 parameters out of which one of them is a date parameter- P1. I have it set up such that on the report there is  another parameter - P2 which contains the type as Date ( to
    ensure the user is exposed to a date picker), the input from this, P2 is then manipulated to required format before fed into the dataset parameter P1 (hidden). I have two questions regarding this parameter.
    Currently, when the user pick's a date (P2) which has no values, the report errors out as it doesn't find that corresponding member on the cube. Can it be made such that if the member doesn't exists, a simple error message like "date not found"
    pops up as opposed to report failing?
    Secondly, can i manipulate the date picker (P2) exposed to the user such that the unavailable dates are grey'ed out on the date parameter (P2)? 
    Please let me know if there is any more info required on each of the questions.
    Thanks

    Hello Katherine,
    below are the errors which pop up with the 'Constrained' function in place and without. The MDX query is what follows.

  • Error while passing date parameter to the XML data definition

    Hi All,
    I have developed a BI publisher report using XML data definition & RTF template.
    This data definition contains a SQL query in it's CDATA section and runs as a concurrent program(without RDF) . We are looking to pass a date parameter to the SQL query and its not accepting the date parameter. However, when we hardcode SYSDATE in the SQL query in place of the parameter, the report runs fine. In the log file it shows that the parameter is being treated in American date style and we are using DD-MON-RRRR format. I have tried to convert the date format however still the error exists.
    What we did ?
    Created a XML data definition which contains the SQL query in its CDATA section & p_rundate (DATE) parameter.
    Registerd the XML data definition as concurrent program with EXECUTABLE= XDODTEXE and Output format as XML with p_date as a date parameter.
    Looking for any available solution for the same.
    Thanks.

  • Date parameter does not work in SharePoint 2010 report using SQL 2008 Server Reporting Service

    Here is the settings:
    SharePoint 2010 with SQL server 2008 reporting services configured
    When create a report for a SP list using SQL server report builder (3.0) the date parameter does not work.
    The data parameter is set as "date and time" type and field name equals the col name in the SP list
    When run the report, the whatever dates I select, the result is always the same, so the parameters do not take any effect.
    Is any step missing?
    Thanks for any advice !

    Hi ,
    How did you configure you "date and time" type parameter and field name equals the col name in the SP list?
    Have you tested if other type parameter worked?
    Have you tried typing the date format as 20140722 in your date parameter filed before run the report?
