How to get the system date format string?

Hello, everybody!
I want to create a MaskFormatter with a mask for dates. So, I could suply as the constructor parameter: "##/##/####'. However, what if the year comes first in the current system date format settings, or the month is in the second place or in the first?... So, I can't just suppose that the current locale format for dates is like the one above. So, my question is: is there a way to get the SYSTEM DATE FORMAT STRING in Java? Searching in google I saw that this was already asked in this forum:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=301034&messageID=1193794
but there was no effective answer. Does someone already know how to get this?
Thank you.
Marcos

Hi, not sure, but
import java.text.*;
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();
System.out.println(sdf.toPattern());
will output something like dd/MM/yy HH:mm
hthThank you very much. It worked.

How to get Default (System) Date Format Pattern?

How to get system default date format which is defined in Regional Setting of Control Panel.
We can get an instance of DateFromat using DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT) but problem is that there is no toPattern() exist in class DateFormat.
However toPattern() exist in class SimpleDateFormat but there is no costructor like SimpleDateFormat(DateFormat)
So please advise me, how can I get system short date format pattern?
Thanks

tyk007 - It is sucessfully working with other computers but there are some computer having this problem.
altenbach - Please see attached file for actual VI. I assume that it will work on your pc.
After leaving Format unwired, the output is YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00 PM.

System date format in reports (winnt)

Hello All,
I am using oracle report bulder 6.0.5.35. on winnt
i have to show all the date fields in my report in the system format (as specified in the regional settings in control panel)
i couldn't find a direct solution, so what i did was to create a user defined parameter and pass the system date format as a string to the report at runtime (this report is invoked from VC++, so i can pass the local setting as a string at runtime)
after this, in BEFORE REPORT trigger i use the following code
dbms_session.set_nls('nls_date_format',:dat);
--where dat is the user parameter.
shouldn't this change the date format for the current session. but this is not happening. (i have not set date formats for any date fields in report)
i am not getting the output in format that i passed, but always i am getting in 'dd-mon-yy' format.
can anybody please help. is there any other solution.
thanks and regards,
Pinto.

hello,
the DBMS_SESSION changes the settings on the database side. as reports has it's own client-side NLS settings this does not have any influence on the output.
the client-side settings are defined by the NLS_LANG settings in the registry on the client.

How to get system date and time?

Can someone show me a code on how to get system date and time.
Thanks!

there is one really easy way to get system time, the api gives a great example of code on this. use gregorian calendar, which you'll find in the api under GregorianCalendar. You only need to create one instance of GC, ie Calendar time = new GregorianCalendar();
you save seconds, minute and hours into int values, so you don't have to access the system time every second, you can create a thread which adds one to the int second value, if oyu see what i mean, for example, i have saved the hours, minutes and seconds as int values;
int hour, minute, second;
i can then create a thread (Thread thread = new Thread(this) and run it like:
Calendar time;
int hour, minute, second;
Thread thread = null;
public MyTime() {
hour= time.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
minute = time.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
second = time.get(Calendar.SECOND);
if(thread == null) {
thread = new Thread(this);
thread.start();
public void run() {
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
while(thread == t) {
thread.sleep(1000);
second++;
if(second > 59)
minute++;
if(minute>59)
hour++;
formatTime();
public void formatTime() {
second = (second > 59? 0 : second);
minute = (minute > 59? 0 : minute);
hour = (hour > 23? 0 : hour);
System.out.println(hour+":"+minute+":"+second);
public static void main(String[] args) {
new MyTime();
I know this looks like gibberish but it should work. If not, try to fix the problem, i have written from memory really but i guarantee you, this gets the time then every second, simply adds one to the second and then formats time. You can also access the day, month and year then format them using the above code. I don't like giving code since you should really do these things yourself but it is 2:04am, i have nothing better to do and i am not tired so i did you a favour - i have become what i always did not want to, someone ho stays upall night writing code.

Get system date

Hi
Can I get system date directly by programming.
I know the method of getting day, month and year by using calender class and then getting the system date by concatenating these three values.Except for this is there any direct method for getting system date.
Please anyone answer to this asap.

The question doesn't make any sense.
The system date is that time for which the Calendar object is giving you individual fields. So you are already getting the system date.
Are you asking how to get a single formatted string holding the system date?
Or how to get the date as the number of seconds or milliseconds since 1969?

How to show date with format conforming to system date format ?

Hi all,
I write Java program running on Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
I want to show date in a status bar with the format the same as that in system date format where the program resides, so when I change the date format through the regional setting, I expect that the date format in the status bar will adjust accordingly.
But it seems that program fails to do so, the program keeps showing short date format MM/dd/yy. I've tried to use SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance() method, but the result is the same.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Setya

Hello Setya !!
I have the same problem as you.. Did you find any solution for this?
Thank you,

How to take System Date format

Hai,
DateFormat class has various date format like DEFAULT, SHORT, MEDIUM, LONG. These format will display the date in a particular format. As well as Using SimpleDateFormat class we can give our own format.
I want to display the date with system date format. In our system we can set any date format using control panel. But how can we take that format from our program.
If any one know give me idea..
Thanks.

The default locale should be enough to set the correct date format for you. You can check the currently set locale with java.util.Locale.getDefault(). java.text.DateFormat.getDateInstance() generates the proper date format for that locale.
The other poster is right, though. You're asking for an OS dependant function which Java, rightly, does not do.

Convert the date of string to datetime format 'MM/dd/yyyy' when the system date format is 'dd/MM/yyyy'.

I need convert the date of string format 'MM/dd/yyyy' to datetime format 'MM/dd/yyyy' when the system date format is 'dd/MM/yyyy'.Since
I need to search values based on date where my database datetime is 'MM/dd/yyyy' format.

In my opinion you should re-consider the assumption that the date picker returns a string. Maybe it is able to return a
DateTime object directly instead of string. Then you will pass this value as a parameter of SQL query. This should work regardless of computer configuration.
Otherwise, follow the previous string-based approaches.

[ASK] How to get system date and substring / concate in data manager dynami

Hello guys.
I want to run package DM with the input have default value.
The selection is look like this :
Dimension : CATEGORY
Source : PLAN_2011
Destination : FORECAST_2011
Dimension : TIME
Source : 2011.JAN,2011.FEB,2011.MAR,2011.APR,2011.MAY,2011.JUN,2011.JUL,2011.AUG,2011.SEP,2011.OCT,2011.NOV,2011.DEC
Destination : <same>
How to get system date year and do the substring / concate ?
So dimension category source will be PLAN_<YYYY>, destination = FORECAST_<YYYY>
Dimension source = <YYYY>.JAN,<YYYY>.FEB,<YYYY>.MAR,<YYYY>.APR,<YYYY>.MAY,<YYYY>.JUN,<YYYY>.JUL,<YYYY>.AUG,<YYYY>.SEP,<YYYY>.OCT,<YYYY>.NOV,<YYYY>.DEC
Depend on year system date.
Thank you.

Stuart,How are you storing OnSaleDate. If you are using OnSaleDate as an attribute dimension then you can write a Custom Defined Function to either:1- query your system for the current date and return the number of seconds that have elapsed since 1/1/1970. This is by definition the begining of the Epoch and how Essbase treats Attribute Dimensions of the Date type.public static long getDateInSeconds() { Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); return cal.getTime().getTime()/1000;}2- Write a Custom Defined Function that will accept the OnSaleDate and return the number of days sincepublic static double daysSince(double myDate) { return (getDateInSeconds()-myDate )/86400;}

How do I get System.out.format to print out doubles with the same precision

Using the System.out.format, how do I print out the value of a double such that it looks exactly like it does if it were print from a System.out.println.
For example, take the following code:
double d = 12.48564734342343;
System.out.format("d as format: %f\n", d);
System.out.println("d as sout: " + d);Running the code, I get:

d as format: 12.485647
d as sout: 12.48564734342343

The precision of d has been lost.
I could bump up the precision as follows:
double d = 12.48564734342343;
System.out.format("d as format: %.14f\n", d);
System.out.println("d as sout: " + d);That appears to work, I get:

d as format: 12.48564734342343
d as sout: 12.48564734342343

However, that solution fails if d has a different precision, say 12.48. In that case I get:

d as format: 12.48000000000000
d as sout: 12.48

So how do I get System.out.format to print out doubles with the same precision as System.out.println?
Thanks..

Interesting, but this is not what I am looking for...Your original question was "how do I print out the value of a double such that it looks exactly like it does if it were print from a System.out.println", and you've been told how to do that (although the pattern given by sabre may be a bit excessive - you should only need 15 '#'s).The initial phrase from my question was "Using the System.out.format, how do I..".
It's worth remembering that, unlike the Format hierarchy, 'format()' is NOT native to Java. It's a convenience implementation of the 'printf()' and 'sprintf()' methods provided in C, and first appeared in Java 1.5. Those methods were designed to produced fixed-format output; 'println()' was not.Perhaps it is the case that this can't be done.
Furthermore, Double.toString(), which is what is used by println() does not produce the same format in all cases; format("%.14f\n", d) does. TrySystem.out.println(1.8236473845783d);
System.out.println(1823647384.5783d);and you'll see what I mean.I am fine with that. It still displays all the precision.
I am simply looking for a way to quickly print out multiple variables on a sysout while debugging. I want it as syntactically sweet as possible. System.out.println can be a pain when outputting multiple variables like the following:
"System.out.println("a: " + a + "; b:" + b + "; c: " + c);"
For some reason, my fingers always typo the plus key.
I was hoping that System.out.format would be easier,along the lines of:
"System.out.format("a: %f, b: %f, c: %f\n", a, b, c);"
From a syntactical sweetness point of view, it is easier. However, the %f on doubles truncates the precision. I figured there must be a way to get the full precision.
DecimalFormat is syntactically sour for this purpose, as you need to instantiate the DecimalFormat.
fwiw I have enjoyed reading the suggestions in this thread...
