Table Description

POLCD     NOT NULL     NUMBER(7)
TITLE          VARCHAR2(200)
VALUE          NUMBER(7)
SIDATE          VARCHAR2(20)
SQL
================================
SELECT TO_CHAR(SIDATE,'YYYYMMDD') as V_SIDATE , -- <== Error
TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YYYYMMDD') as V_TODAY -- <== Ok
FROM T_POLL
Error Msg
================================
ORA-01722: invalid number
.....I don't know Why... plz. help me, it's Urgent...-_-;
ICQ : 40751557
MSN : [email protected]
Finally, sorry for my poor English...

The reason for the error is you are applying a TO_CHAR function to a character datatype. SIDATE is a character. That field should be a date field. If for some reason, you need it to stay as a character field then you will need to change it to a date then change it back to a character.
TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(SIDATE,'put format here'),'YYYYMMDD')

How to change data type of attribute in caf

hi.

i been added a attribute in an entity service called emloyee. named "Birthday", use the data type "com.sap.caf.core.date".
when i tried modify the entity service, i hit exception about "DST Daylight Saving Time".
because of DST, the date will add an hour such like "1957/04/01 00:00:00.0" to "1957/04/01 01:00:00.0", and com.sap.caf.core.date will throw an exception.
is anyone had same problem like me?
how to fixed it(if passable)?
and, how to change data type?
thanks.

Hi Sruthi,
all you need to do on this is open the report go to the parameters, select the parameter that you wish to change and click "Edit". This will allow you to change thefield to a date rather than a date time.

How to change the default IDOC basic type from CREMAS05 to CREMAS04.

Hi All,
How to change the default IDOC basic type from CREMAS05 to CREMAS04 when sending Vendor Master Data.
When I generate partner profile, the system will add the latest version of IDOC type which is CREMAS05 to the Outbound message. In my project, I'm asked to use CREMAS04.
I want to use BD14 to send master data directly, but the program will generate IDOC using CREMAS05. Is there a way that I can change it to CREMAS04? And also for using Change Pointers, I want to use the report RBDMIDOC, but i have the same problem.
Thanks
Sai Krishna

In SAP 4.6c In classical reports output how to change Font size and Font type

Dear Experts,
In SAP 4.6c, in classical and interactive reports output how to change font size and font type.
Regards,
Zaker.

These are HTML formatting questions. Nothing to do with the Oracle SQL and PL/SQL languages.
With old-style HTML, the font size and family are set using the font tag.
With modern style HTML, that is done using cascading style sheets (CSS).
Your favourite search engine will turn up tons of information on both.

How to change date format in BR?

Hi all!
Does anybody know how to change date format in BR?
I created global variable with type DateAsNumber and usage type run-time promt and used it in BR
Then I launched a BR on the form and chose necessary date. Date stored in MM/DD/YYYY format, but I need DD/MM/YYYY.
I tried to change format through Planning but then I recieved uncorect result(for instance, I selected 4(April)/14/2009 but it was stored as 4/02/2010)

Hi,
the date is always stored the same in Essbase. I think it's YYYYMMDD.
You can change the format you enter the date in webforms and business rules by changing your planning application settings (Preferences->Display Options).
Cheers.

How to change data source name and context root during deployment

Hi,
Env:
WLS 10.1.3
JDev 11.1.1.6
Hudson
I need to deploy two instances of my ADF application on the same development enviroment. We are using Hudson to deploy. My question is how to change data source name and application context root before second deployment.
Kuba

I don't believe there is an inbuilt facility to do this.
Previously how I've done this is when checking files out using Hudson jovs, before the build I then use an Ant extension called XmlTask (http://www.oopsconsultancy.com/software/xmltask/) to modify the required XML files.
Can I ask why you're doing this in the first place please? Multi-tenancy? 2 versions of the same app?

how to change date format in registry so when u qeury the date column, it display in our specific format like 20-05-2005 instead of 20-may-05. i dont want to use to_char in query

Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME{X}
NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'dd-mm-yyyy'
You could also change the database date format :
SQL> alter system set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'dd-mm-yyyy' scope=spfile;
and restart the DB.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
