Formatting a date in XSLT

I am working with an XSLT fragment in dreamweaver and all
seems to be working fine except when it comes to the date field in
the XML it is transforming. It looks like dreamweaver has no
options in it for formatting a date. Looking on the web it appears
that XSLT doesn't have a function for that except if you are
running XSLT 2.0??
my XML looks like
<pubDate>Wed, 04 Apr 2007 04:00:00
+0100</pubDate>
Can anyone help me just show only this part, "Wed, 04 Apr
2007"
thanks

With XSLT, this should work:
<xsl:value-of select="substring(pubDate,1,16)"
order="descending" />
The substring function variables are:
substring(node, postition of start character in string, total
number of
characters to include)
It's akin to a TRIM string statement in server-side
programming languages.

Dear Sateesh,
Declare xlst variables at start of xsl program like below
                         <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
     <xsl:variable name="today_formatted" select="java:java.text.SimpleDateFormat.new('yyyyMMdd')"/>
     <xsl:variable name="time_formatted" select="java:java.text.SimpleDateFormat.new('HHmmss')"/>
      and use them in xsl mapping
<xsl:value-of select="substring(concat(java:format($today_formatted, $date),$blanks),1,8)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="substring(concat(java:format($time_formatted, $date),$blanks),1,6)"/>

How to compare to date and From date in XSLT

Hi,
I have to check in my process "*To date*" and "*From date*" and make "*To date*" greater than or equlas to "*From date*"..
Is there any function which performs this task.
I will appreciate if someone can provide any Solution on the same..
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
You can compare dates in XSLT as in BPEL and in XPath using < and > and =, you can even add a duration in days or months to your date using xp20:add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime()
The only but is all the dates have to be in ISO 8601 Format...
http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime
For example:
*1994-11-05T08:15:30-05:00* corresponds to November 5, 1994, 8:15:30 am, US Eastern Standard Time.
*1994-11-05T13:15:30Z* corresponds to the same instant.
The following will return true if $dateFrom is less than $dateTo...
<xsl:value-of select="$dateFrom < $dateTo"/>Cheers,
Vlad

Print a report on doc format truncate data

hi
I have a report launching with a form in an oracle applications, when I print a report on pdf format looks ok
but when I print the same report on doc format truncate data on left and right side.
Can you help me
thanks

Hi Herbe
Reports does not support .doc format. Are you referring .rtf format?
In any case, you must contact Oracle Support to get the issue resolved.

How to format a date to display the ISO week number in BI Publisher ?

Hi there,
I need to format a date to display the ISO week number in BI Publisher.
I've tried the following <?format-date:NEED_BY_DATE;'WW'?>, but it returns a week number (1-53) where week 1 starts on the first day of the year and continues to the seventh day of the year, which is not what I want.
I want the ISO week number (1-52 or 1-53), the one implemented by the 'IW' format mask of the Oracle PL/SQL TO_CHAR() function for example.
I've tried using 'IW' format mask, but it is not recognised by BI Publisher.
Also, as I'm working on an RTF template, I've tried 'IW' as MS Word date format, but it is not recognised by MS Word :-((
Any help would be much appreciated,

Hi,
Thank you for the post.
The thing is I don't have access to the query, unless I modify a standard E-Businees Suite view (one of those used to generate the PO document in Purchasing).

Format of Date field is loading wrongly in the Infocube 0pp_c01.

Hi,
Format of Date field is loading wrongly in the Infocube 0pp_c01. But it is loading properly into PSA.
I am loading data into PP infocubes from the following DataSources.(they all are 3.x datasources)
1. 2LIS_04_P_MATNR
2. 2LIS_04_P_ARBPL
3. 2LIS_04_P_COMP
The data is coming properly upto PSA. For example Actual Start date is loaded in cube like 733.884.
And, it is the same issue with all the cubes. So I checked the update rules. But, in it the mapping is done properly.
Thanks $ Regards

Hi,
HEre also value is loaded correctly. The reason u are seeing it in this format is because it is mapped into a key figure in the info cube.
It will store the value as number of days from a standard date like 1/1/1000 or 1/1/1900 - not sure which one of these, u should be able to search and find the correct date in the forums..but this is the logic behind it
Hope it helps.

Format of date and numbers

Hi,
in Italy the format of date is DD/MM/YYYY e the formato of numbers is NNN,DD (DD means Decimal).
I use Excel for IPAD but when I write for instance 28/03/2015 the field shows 03/28/2015, the same problem is for numbers where the comma and the dot are inverted.
How do I change the format of date and numbers?
Thank you in advance.
Max

The general format of the date is tied to the language...use US english, get US date formatting.
You may want to poke around in excel's settings. I know the desktop version allows you to alter the date formatting, but I'm not sure if the iPad app has that. Look for 'cell formatting' in the settings and see if it's alterable.
If not, you can try to make your template on a PC, then put that excel onto your iPad and see if it honors the cell formatting already in place.

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.88.1254.html
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.

Need help in formatting the Date - Date does not

Need help in formatting the Date - Date does not formats and give Not a valid month error in the below scenario.

Your syntax is wrong - look at the post above where this syntax is given:
to_char (add_months(r.formdate,12), 'MM/DD/YYYY') "formdate2"Look at the formula from a logical perspective - "inside out" to read what is happening -
take formdate, add 12 months
add_months(r.formdate, 12)then apply the to_char format mask - basic syntax
to_char(date, 'MM/DD/YYYY')Compare to your syntax:
to_char(add_months(r.formdate, 'MM/DD/YYYY'),12) "formdate2"You will see your format string inside the call to add_months, and your 12 inside the call to to_char.
Good luck!

I need format for data in excel file load into info cube to planning area.

Hi gurus,
I need format for data in excel file load into info cube to planning area.
can you send me what should i maintain header
i have knowledge on like
plant,location,customer,product,history qty,calander
100,delhi,suresh,nokia,250,2011211
if it is right or wrong can u explain and send me about excel file format.
babu

Hi Babu,
The file format should be same as you want to upload. The sequence of File format should be same communication structure.
Like,
Initial columns with Characteristics (ex: plant,location,customer,product)
date column (check for data format) (ex: calander)
Last columsn with Key figures (history qty)
Hope this helps.

MS Word Web Service Interface: bad format of date and currency fields

Hi,
I am using MS Word Web Service interface to create contract documents. However, my date and currency fields show in a strange format. Date is in"YYYY-MM-DD" format, while currencies always have "." as decimal separator (probably technical values). My user settings are "DD.MM.YYYY" for dates and "n.nnn,dd" for decimal numbers.
My workaround is to create a Z structure for WS interface with char fields and then do conversion through CRM_WST_RT_BADI->OUTBOUND_PROCESSING method. This works, but requires a lot of custom development.
Is there a way to "tell" the interface to use correct formats in MS Word without doing it all manually through custom fields?
Thanks!
KR,
Igor

Oh, indeed!
We might be closer than you think - I live close to Croatian-Slovenian border so we might pop out for a drink! But we can discuss this out of forum...
Now work again:
Is there any documentation on possible formatting keywords? I suppose it's possible to set up decimal places, custom date formats etc.
Cheers,
Igor

Formatting a Date

Hi, Can someone tell me how to simply format the date to this:
MON DD, YYYY
Thanks

You can use the SimpleDateFormat like:
java.text.DateFormat df = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat(format);where formar is a String like:
format= "dd/MM/yyyy";for a date like "07/06/2003"
You can use any format you want modifying the format using the following symbols:
Symbol Meaning Presentation Example
G era designator (Text) AD
y year (Number) 1996
M month in year (Text & Number) July & 07
d day in month (Number) 10
h hour in am/pm (1~12) (Number) 12
H hour in day (0~23) (Number) 0
m minute in hour (Number) 30
s second in minute (Number) 55
S millisecond (Number) 978
E day in week (Text) Tuesday
D day in year (Number) 189
F day of week in month (Number) 2 (2nd Wed in July)
w week in year (Number) 27
W week in month (Number) 2
a am/pm marker (Text) PM
k hour in day (1~24) (Number) 24
K hour in am/pm (0~11) (Number) 0
z time zone (Text) Pacific Standard Time
' escape for text (Delimiter)
'' single quote (Literal) '

Formatting a date that is inserted into a text object

The on-line documentation for inserting a date into a form letter instructs a user to insert a Print Date into a text object. To format the date, the user is instructed to double-click on the date object and then right click and select Format {Print Date} from the menu.
This works when using Crystal Reports 2008 without any service packs.
However, after installing SP1, this feature no longer works. The Format {Print Date} is grayed out and not available for selection.
I am using VISTA Enterprise.
Are there any reasonable reasons why this functionality was removed with SP1.

You have a brilliant work around. Thanks!
However, it is still a work around.
I hope someone within the Crystal Reports organization sees this post and either provides an explaination as to why SP1 does not allow you to directly edit a field or that someone realizes that this is a bug and starts the process of providing a fix.
By the way, I duplicated the problem on both VISTA and XP machines.
