Formatting a date variable

I want to format the value of date which is in a variable(date_var) in MM-DD-YYYY format and print it in a document.
                     <td>
                         #DateFormat(#date_var#, 'MMMM DD,YYYY')# does not work
                     </td>
does not work.
How can I do that?

Plz try this...
<cfset
date_var = now()>
<cfset t =DateFormat(date_var, 'MMMM DD,YYYY')>
<cfdump
var="#t#">
<cfdocument
filename="d:\testdate.pdf" overwrite="yes" format="PDF">
<cfoutput>#t#</cfoutput></cfdocument>

How do i change the $Date variable format on an Ironport ESA to be DD/MM/YYYY

I have an Ironport ESA running ASyncOS 7.6 and i use the $Date variable in notification emails. It is currently formatted in the US way of MM/DD/YYYY but we need it to be formatted as DD/MM/YYYY. Is there any way to do this? The time zone is correct but i can't find anywhere to modify system variables.

There doesn't appear to be any way to change the formatting of that variable. Perhaps you can make use of $Timestamp or $GMTimeStamp instead?

Adding 3 weeks to a Date variable

Hi,
In order to levy a fine,it must be calculated,
it therefore makes sense for the system to check for overdue books.
in order to use
if Date.after(dob)=true{
FINE$
I must add 3 weeks to the date variable "dob" (date_of_borrow,stored on a database in dd-mm-yy format)
How do i do it?
The only other alternatives i have are Calander or milisec-day conversions.I'm unsure on using GregorianCalander & people have advised against milisec.
(you can see why, in the forum post "Urgent:Html & Servlet").
Anyway i hope this will work.
Suggestions anyone?Thanks.
Aesh83

is it as easy as saying .getWeek()?Must i set the system date on it or is it anyway default?-
Here is a something i cooked up ,in a hurry, (HELP!!: How do u use sdk with Kawa editor) ,i'm working in the dark hoping i can find the light..
Ah here it is-
int dob2;
//it suposed to trigger whenever user opens borrow.htm//
date.format(dd-mm-yy);
dob.format(dd-mm-yy);
rs=stmt.excecuteQuery("Select dob from LENT where UserN==User_N");
LOOP
getdata into a resultVector
dob.elementAt(i);
if Date.after(dob)=true{
FINE$
LOOP
What do u think?Needs improvemnts.
How do you get System date onto a Date variable?
Will date.after(Date when) method work when Date variables are in milisecs?
Thanks & Bye!

Date variable in a query

Hi all,
Currently I'm working on a query and I'd like to put in a date variable. It has to be a monthly report and I'm building the query for it based on the attribute "TaxDate" (with format DD-MM-YY) from the table "ORDR".
For the query I'd like to build in a variable where the user can put in the month and year, for instance 01-04. I know how to put in a variable, but how can i solve this problem?
I thank you in advance!

Chief,
The parameters in a SQL Query accepting a date works the same way as you would enter a date on DocDate or DocDueDate field on the form.
But, you will need to filter the input and take only the Month.
So test this simple query
SELECT T0.DocNum AS 'Document Number', T0.DocDate AS 'Posting Date' FROM [dbo\].[ORDR\] T0 WHERE MONTH(T0.TaxDate) = MONTH('[%0\]')

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
chris

Correct.

+0100</pubDate>

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.

Error with Date Variable

I am trying to create a process to import to import data using a date variable but when I use the date to get the data from SQL server I am getting a error.
I have tried setting the variable as both a string and date - Select
CONVERT(varchar(10), DATEADD(day, -1, GETDATE()), 101) and map it to the Variable. The date variable is working. It’s correct in the Watch and I am able to use the variable to get data from an Open Link database (row_date = ?)
in the OLE DB Source query. I get a "Invalid character value for cast specification"
error when doing the same thing to get data from an SQL Server OLE DB Source
where the date field is DateTime (row_date = ?). I have tried making the variable as a date and string but get the same error regardless. To make it work, I have to duplicate the date
calculation in the query - HAVING (row_date = CONVERT(varchar(10), DATEADD(day, -1, GETDATE()), 101) ) which works fine.
HAVING (row_date = ?) gives the error with the Parameter mapped to the variable.
Any suggestions as to how to make this work correctly?

May I suggest to use style 111 instead of 101?
From experience, yyyy/mm/dd date format will work most of the time for date conversion and
It's due to different date format from mm/dd/yyyy to the system date format that SQL Server is using.
Hope this helps.

Formatting the date in a report

I have a report in which i have the date at the top left. This is currently displayed as:
Wed Oct 05
But I would like it to be in the following format:
October 5th, 2005
Any ideas?

create a Formula Column as Character datatype with appropriate length/width. Then in the PL/SQL section of that formula column write:
V_formatted_date varchar2(25);
BEGIN
v_formatted_date := (select trim(to_char(sysdate,'Month'))||' '||ltrim(lower(to_char(sysdate,'ddth')),0)||
trim(to_char(sysdate,', YYYY')) from dual);
RETURN(v_formatted_date);
END;And use this formula column as a source for the field in the layout where you want to show that formatted date.
P.S. In the example I used sysdate, use your original date variable instead.
Thanks.

Problem with Date Variable (Resolved)

Hi,
I am using a varibale of type date to populate a constant date value to my target column. My source is excel and target is Oracle.
When i execute, it shows the following error - 'Unexpected token: 00 in statement'
I also tried to give an sql qurey for the variable as 'select sysdate from dual'. It's of no use.
Can anyone help me out in this?
Thanks in Advance,
Ram Mohan T
I used the target execution instead of Staging Area. It worked fine.

Hi Jordan,
I would suggest several options.
First, you have the option within Webi to display only the date and not the time (right click on the object on the report, or go to field properties, and change the format of the display).
If you are using this value in comparisons in the report, you must make sure the format matches. Try changing the format within the variable to be the same as what you are comparing it to. If that is still not working, let me know. It may still just be a syntax or data type/format error.
Thanks

APD with date variable in filter object

Have an APD with a filter object. The filter uses a range for 0CALDAY. the range includes a variable (customer_exit) whic calculates the date of previous fiscal period-end date. Works perfectly in Bex.
However, when running the APD, the date format comes out as YYYY/MM/DD, and 0CALDAY is expecting MM/DD/YYYY.
How can I get the internal format of the date correct? I get no errors in the APD, however the date format causes incorrect results, as if no date was entered.
Any suggestions?
PS. actually, the internal date format used by the APD for my variable ZCE_PREVPER_END is:
ZCE_PREVPER_END = '20101001'
Needs to be 10/01/2010....

Problem with Date Variable in Web I

Hi everybody,
In the BW I have a query with a Date Variable (0date) and when i execute the WebI report the variable
shows date and time, like "04/22/2010 00:00:00". Is it possible i remove the
time from the variable ?
I need to do this cause i use this date to make some calculation into the WebI report, and with the time the formulas don´t work fine, it shows "#ERRO". I've already tried to insulate the date in other variable using some functions, but it does´t work nevertheless.
Any idea ?
Thanks.

Change Display Format of Date Field

Hi,
How can I change the display format of a date?
When the field is displayed as a DateField the data format is good, but can I change the format? The problem with a DateField is also that the field can be updated and that shouldn't be possible.
When the field is displayed as a DisplayField the format looks worse. It looks like it's doing a toString from a Data variable.
Could someone tell me what is the best way to Display a Date from the database? The users shouldn't be allowed to change the value.
Thanx

Use something like this:
<messageDateField name="Birthdate" promptAndAccessKey="Birthdate" data:text="Birthdate" anchor="Birthdate" persistent="true" dataObject="uNextMonthsBirthdaysSet" data:value="Birthdate" data:readOnly="isViewing">
<onSubmitValidater>
<date dateStyle="shortish"/>
</onSubmitValidater>
</messageDateField>
