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")

IDoc posted in R/3 but data for Date field has not generated.

Hi Experts
This is JDBC to IDoc scenarion.
Source: MS SQL Server
Date Data Type: smalldatetime
Date field Format: yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss --> example: 2009-11-13 00:00:00
XI Mapping: Source Date --> Transformation --> Target Date
Transformation: yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss to yyyyMMdd
Target: R/3 System
Date Data Type: ERDAT from VBAK table - Date on Which Record Was Created
Date field Format: Date field (YYYYMMDD) stored as char(8)
Check points:
1. Mapping is working fine in XI and transformation is done with the test data: 2009-11-13 00:00:00 --> to ---> 20091113
2. In SXMB_MONI the data is processed from the source and the IDoc XML data is generated. In the IDoc XML data the date field is containing the value <DATE>20091113</DATE>
3. But when I tried to open the IDoc(SE05) in R/3 the date field is empty and no data is generated.
Request you to let me know why the error is happening.
Regards
Ram

Hi Ram,
First try to test the same IDOC generated in ECC Box by populating date field value using WE19 and test .
Or
Instead of passing date value from SQL Server, Just give a try with Current Date function in Mapping and test in ECC system.
then we can think on further analysis.

How to display date field in ALV in format 'YYYY-MM-DD'?

Hi experts,
I am not getting displayed the date field in ALV in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD' if it is different than my user setting's format (DD.MM.YYYY).
Tried with the edit mask
LVC_S_FCAT-EDIT_MASK = '____-__-__' but it does not work.
I could not find the conversion routine for this. Is it possible to write customer conversion routine?
I have to use DATE field, otherwise if I display this format in CHAR10 field , sorting in ALV does not work for this field.
PLEASE ANY HELP!
Kind regards,

Formatted Search for Delivery Date field in SO not working

Hi All
Can anyone help me as to why my formatted search is not working?
I am currently using SAP B1A SP01 Patch 19.
I have created a user query as follows:
SELECT $ [$10.0.DATE] + 5
When I add this to the delivery field within the Sales Order and bring through the saved query which I set to auto refresh when the Posting Date field changes and to Display Saved Values it doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks and best wishes
Gail

HI Gail,
If I am not mistaken you want to add days to the posting date...if that is so then try this out:
SELECT $[ORDR.DocDate.DATE]+5 From ORDR T0 For Browse
Set The indicator to Auto Refresh when the fields change

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
Shyne Sasimohanan
+91-9632674245

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.

Error when saving a default format for a date field in 11g

Line:2, Col:608, Attribute 'displayTimeZone' is not declared for element 'dataFormat'
Thoughts and suggestions?

I have a Support Request open with Oracle right now (it's taking a few weeks to resolve) but here's the update:
OBIEE 10g handles DATE types differently than 11g. Both the support rep and I can't figure out how, but they are different. If you bring the column in as a DATETIME in your Physical Layer you can't save it system-wide, even if you do set a time zone for your account (My Account -> Preferences -> Time Zone). If you bring the column in as DATE you can save it system-wide but you can't display the hours/mins/secs, only the M/D/Y. This has been tested on a 9i and 10g database and produced the same thing on both. The problem never occurred with those same columns using OBIEE 10g.
Oracle support has not fully admitted this as a bug, but the rep working on this SR said this will probably be fixed in the next release- 11.1.1.4, which is due out late Jan/early Feb of this year. He is trying to reproduce this so he can log it as a bug (which we all are hoping for!) so Oracle can address it.
For now, I've found that you are stuck with two options: 1) bring the column in as a DATE, display it system-wide as a saved format, but you can't show the time, and 2) don't save that date value with a system-wide formatting and set it manually on every report you need a custom format (don't forget to set your time zone).
If I hear anything more back from Oracle support I'll update this thread.
Sorry guys, looks like we're all stranded on this one...

Formating Invoice Date field to display in Japanese format 2012年2月22日

Hi ,
I need expert help in Crystal reports for formatting a field which contains date in Japanese format.
I need to develop a Japan report that has invoice date as 2012年2月22日 which means 22-Feb-2012.
Thanks,
Ravi

Thanks.. you saved my time.
I have found the solution for this issue
totext(year({shiphead.ShipDate}),0) & '年' & totext(month({shiphead.ShipDate}),0) & '月' & totext(day({shiphead.ShipDate}),0) & '日'
However your solution looks good. Short and sweet.
totext({shiphead.ShipDate}, 'yyyy年MM月dd日')
Thanks,

Date Field Formatting

Hi All,
I'm back already! Learning Flash is beginning to get to me
again so I returned for yet more help!
I've written the following AS code to get tomorrow's date . .
// Calculates today's date and tomorrow's date
var dToday:Date = new Date();
dToday.getDate()
trace("today: " + dToday) //today's date
myD = dToday.getDate() + 100; // plus one day
var dTomorrow:Date = new Date();
dTomorrow.setDate(myD)
trace("new: " + dTomorrow) //tomorrow's date
var strDate:String = new String();
var strDate = String(dTomorrow);
trace("String: " + strDate);
The strDate string returns the following value . . . "Tue Jul
11 16:19:57 GMT+0100 2006".
That is all well and good but I want to convert it into the
following format for comparison with another field . . .
"200607111619" which is basically the same value in the following
format . . . "yyyymmddhhmm".
Does the only way of doing this involve using parsing logic
to break down the original string and then reconstruct it in the
required format using variables from the broken down original
string?
I have tried looking at the Date Field object notes in my
book but it does not give me anything as regards this programming
requirement. The only thing I can find that might suit this purpose
is string parsing logic. Am I right or is there an easier way to
set a date field format?
Any help would as always be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Kevin.

I'm working on an application which requires a valid Voucher
Number to proceed. The Voucher number is based on a combination of
'date/time/no of items' (e.g. 20060711095802 which is today at
09:58 (on a 24 hr clock) for 2 (02) items).
As this date this date/time Voucher Number logic is
essentially sequential, in that each subsequent Voucher Number will
be greater than the last good known Voucher Number entered into the
application (which is already stored in a variable field for
comparison). But it must also be less than tomorrow's date, for
which the Voucher Number would always be tomorrow's date (e.g.
20060712 at 00:00 hrs for 00 items, thus giving 20060712000000).
This is the value that I'm trying to ascertain from the date field
logic.
It would thus be really handy for comparison if I could just
format tomorrow's date and time in the format yyyymmddhhmm and just
add '00' to the end of the string.
I don't like the idea of using the milliseconds value as it
will be necessary then to convert the Voucher Number entered to a
date field for comparison.

Format Date Form Field in Adobe Acrobat Pro

Thanks in advance for your help. I have date fields in an Acrobat form. Is it possible to create a script to format a date as either MM/DD/YYYY or MM/DD/YY? In other words, if someone enters MM/DD/YYYY, the date would be accepted and MM/DD/YY would also be accepted. Thanks, again.

Since the time measurement is based on a sattilite revolving around another object in space, much of the concepts and measurements apply to rocket science. But I do not know if all rocket scientist woudl get it. Wasn't there a sattilite that mixed miles and kilometers within the navigation program with a suprising result.
One needs to get to a common unit and then just do the math.
Actually JavaScript does have an adjustment for the Date.getYear if the date object is established with the 4 digit year.
I had a recent issue at work. I work from the U.S and have to access data on a server in the UK using Remote Desktop and the remote deskto is configured for the UK date format unless the user changes it. In prior years the data was processed on servers in the U.S. with U.S. date format. There were many instances when the date and month were swithed and requires over a month to fix. Thank you Microsoft Certified Network Administrators.

Formatting a date field

I am trying to format a date field so that it shows as 06/29/2005 instead of 06/29/2005 00:00:00. Im thinking that I need to use the Substr function to do this but cant get it to work. Here is what I have, @(Substr(REQUIRED_DATE,1,10)). Any help would be great.

The field is set up as a text field. From what I have read in Help, $date20 is for when you want to make a field be the system date. I want to change the format of a date that is being pulled from my database. Can I use the $date20 function for this? Thanks

Formatting a date field auto populated with Javascript

I have a date field, which I auto-populate to be the current days date with the following code:
var date=new Date();
var month=date.getMonth()+1;
this.rawValue=month+"/"+date.getDate()+"/"+(date.getYear()-100);
This works fine, but it comes out as 7/20/12 instead of 07/20/2012 like my pattern defines.
Whether or not I write my code to be the correct format, I always get an "Invalid format" error. How can I fix this?

The solutions is to format the date in YYYY-MM-DD when setting the raw value.
var date=new Date();
var month=date.getMonth()+1;
var day=date.getDate();
if(month<10){ month="0"+month; }
if(day<10) {day="0"+day; }
this.rawValue=date.getFullYear()+"-"+month+"-"+day;

Browser date field format in header

I am using Browser 2.0 for some ad hoc queries on an Oracle
7.2.3 database.
My client is running Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4.
Regional settings are set to English (Australia).
The page setup in Browser allows you in the header or footer to
insert the a date field via "&d". Documentation states this is
system generated.
However, in the print preview and print out the date is
formatted as MM/DD/YY. I need to have it formatted as DD-MON-
YYYY.
Can anyone suggest to me from which system the format is being
generated or any
suggestions on how to change it in.
Thanks
null

can you paste the timestamp being displayed?
You can use, format-date function or other, but its all based on the data you have for DATE.
