Getting the name of the day of week, like Monday, etc

I have a query that has dates down the rows. Next to this date we want the the actually name of the day like Monday. My thoughts were to create this in an update rule but i was asked to do it via a custmer exit in the query. i am not sure it will work there? will it return for each row with a date if I put the varialbe in the row?

I think i misunderstood you.
I believe you will need a virtual characteristic for accomplishing this.
If you are new to this topic there is a good how to that can help.
The basic idea should be that you'll populate the virtual char on the fly.
The backdrwas are: performance, you will need to have "date" in the drill down, some extra development work etc'.
I believe that the way to go is with update rules.

How do I get the day of week labels back in ICal 5.0.1?

In "Week" view the day of the week is no longer displaying under the date. I can't find a preference setting to get it to display. Any ideas? Thanks.

If the issue is limited to your user account try starting up in Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup because it runs a directory check.)
If your apps functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to/Users/yourname/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving/Users/yourname/Library/Fonts to your desktop.
* Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library"
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.

How to pass from method to arguments to main and get the day of the week

Hi
Need some help, this code below doesnt fit the requirement.
For this program, i need to: take in day, month,year of a date as int argument, return the day of the week for the date entered in App()
In Main: call the App() to get the day of the week to display when user enter the date in dd/mm/yyyy
StringTokenizer is required for this program.
- How can the arguments pass back to main by returning of month & day of the week?
- Program cant take in int and return as string
- Date cant display day of the week
Code
import java.util.*;
public class App2 {
    private int day;
    private int month;
    private int year;
         private int inputDay;
            private int inputMonth;
            private int inputYear;

          String date = day2 + month2 + year2;
         DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
          try
          Date today = df.parse(date);
          System.out.println("Today = " + df.format(today));
          catch(ParseException e)
          if(month2.equals("01") || month2.equals("1")){month2 = "January";}

          else if(month2.equals("12")){month2 = "December";}
          return month2;

         Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
            System.out.print("Enter the date in dd/mm/yyyy: ");
            String date = sc.nextLine();
            StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(date, "/");
            String day = st.nextToken();
            String month = st.nextToken();
            String year = st.nextToken();
            App2(day, month, year);
            String test = App2(day, month, year);
                 System.out.print(test);

Getting the day of the month

I think it is kind of odd that the "day" property in the Date
class will only return the day of the week and not the day of the
month... How would you go about getting the day of the month
selected lets just from a DateField entry... so lets just say some
one does something like this
var date:Date = DateFieldEntry.selectedDate;
trace(date.day.toString());
It give me back the day of that particular week in the
month... but I really don't have any use for that... I need the day
of the month! How would I go about getting that?

yeah... I know the "date" property returns a numeric value of
the current month, day and year... but I was hoping there was a
property of some sort that I could just use instead of having to
parse the numeric value returned for what I want..

How to get the day as numeric value without formatting the date?

Hello,
to reduce the costs of a sql-statement I need to get the day of a date-value as number (to compare it to a numeric value) without any formatting. Every formatting results in a full table scan of the table with the date field. Is there any function to solve this problem?
Oracle version is 11g.
Thanks Carsten

and T2.Inactive = 0
The explain plan shows a full table scan on T2. With EXTRACT(DAY FROM T2.Date2) there is no difference.It probably would and should in any case.
Look at your predicates, which of them would reduce the resultset to a fair size compared to the total number of records in the table?.
- You may have a huge number of records when you say date less than
- Of these perhaps one seventh have day = 1
- My guess is that most have Inactive = 0
Besides, you should not rely on implictit char to date conversion, always use TO_DATE
How many records are in the table? - How many will that query return?

How to get the day value from the current time?

Hi,
I like to write a program that prints out the current time in the formate as "Thu May 3 07:57:02 PDT 2002". Then I want to get the day, time, year and month value out and do some manipulation.
I know to format the current time, I can use
SimpleDateFormat formatter
= new SimpleDateFormat ("EEE MM.dd hh:mm:ss z yyyy");
Date currentTime_1 = new Date();
Now how do I get the day, time, year and month value? All the getday(), gettime()..,method have been deprecated. Can anyone provide the answer?
Thanks.

Try using Calendar.get(int) and take a look at the constants used to specify the field you are trying to access.

Getting the day of lst of the month

Hi, how to get the day (sun, mon,......) of every lst of every month. I can get the current day using calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK). This will return an int indicating the day.
If today is wed(5th Feb 2003), it will return int 4.
How do I get the day for the lst of every month?
Thanks

You can give this a try:
Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(); // Get today's date, or pass in your own date
cal.set(Calendar.DATE, 1); // Set the date to the 1st of the month
dayOfWeek = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK); // Get the day

R/3 job and get the details of variants like (from and to)

Hi,

Please let me know what transaction i have to use and how to check this information in R/3 side.
Thanks,

Hi........
Go to SM37 >> select the job >> Click on Job log.........Check there whether u r getting any Clue or not...........Is this load is through PSA..........? if so check the records of the First data packet...........then the Last data packet............from there u can get some idea..................
Also u can check the data in the Extractor.......is it a full load?.............Go to RSA3 >> Execute..........there check the data........
Is it a LO datasource ? if so................Go to LBWE >> Click on maintenance link for your datasource........>> Here in the Right pane u can see the Structute associated with that Datasource ...........If u remove MC from those structure name............u will get the table name..............In those tables also u can check the data...............there should be some data field.............from where u can get some idea.........
If ur Extractor is extracting data using some Function Module.............then open the datasource using RSA2.............there double click on the Exrtractor..............u will get the function module.................u can try to analyze the function module............
For Variants..................select the job >> click on Step in the top >> then Go to in the top >> Variant..............but I don't think this will help u............this will tell u that this Extraction job is part of which chain or IP......

How can I get the day of the week to display in ical5?

I can only see the date, e.g. 20, 21, 22 but not the day of the week, e.g. 20 Wednesday, 21 Thursday. How do change this view? Thank you

You need to create a stringwriter, wrap it in a printwriter, then print to the printwriter, then convert the stringwriter to a string.
Here's an example:
StringWriter sw = new java.io.StringWriter();
PrintWriter pw = new java.io.PrintWriter(sw);
e.printStackTrace(pw);
String strError = sw.toString();
I hope this works. I didn't test the above code. I don't think I'm leaving anything out, but it's been a while since I've done it. Either way, it should get you on the right track to get what you need.
Hope that helps.

Get The Previous Six Weeks in Query

I have an MDX query that I'm using in an SSRS report. The report returns results for the current week beginning on Sunday. THe query takes three parameters: Year, Month, and Week. The year is defaulted to the curret year, the month is defaulted to the current
month, and the week is defaulted to the current week. Here is the MDX of the query:

What I would like to do is return not just the current week, but also the previous five weeks.
IF there is an easier way to do this without having to pass the current year and the current month, that would be een better. I do have a time dimension called time which does have the [Time].[Week] member which is in the format of MM/DD/YYYY 00:00:00:00.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!

Your solution requires me to figure out what the week was six weeks ago. How is that accomplished? That is what the MDX is supposed to do. Take the current week (i.e., 8/31/2014) and go back six weeks.
In MDX you can do this for years, month, days, etc. It's fairly easy to say "give me the three previous years from the current year". I want the same thing for weeks.
I'm passing in a simple parameter for week: 8/31/2014 00:00:00. This is how it is formatted in the actual dimension table.
From what I've found, LastPeriods seems like the way to go...just trying to figure it out to work with my MDX. Take the current period and go back X number of periods.
SELECT LastPeriods(3,[Date].[Fiscal].[Fiscal Quarter].[Q4 FY 2002]) ON 0
FROM [Adventure Works]
