Red Line? Sounds ominous. I wonder what it means.
So...what does the error say?

How to convert a string to date and then compare it with todays date???

Hello.
I want to set a format first for my dates
DateFormate df = new SimpleDateFormate("yyyy-mm-dd");
once this is done then I want to convert any string to date object in the above formate
String str="2001-07-19";
Date d = null;
try{
d = df.parse(s);
}catch(ParseException pe) {
pe.printStackTrace();
First of all there is something wrong above,cus what I get for this is
Fri Jan 19 00:07:00 MST 2001
where as it should have been
2001-07-19... to my understanding.
once this part is done I need to get current date in the above set format and compare the
current date and the date I set.
I will appreciate the help.
Thanks

for the output part:
a date is a point in time
the output depends on the format you specify for output
using for example a SimpleDateFormat.
You only specified the format for parsing (which is independent for that of output) so java uses some default format ... see the DateFormat.format() method for details.
for the comparison stuff, I just posted a little code snippet in this forum a few minutes ago.
the hint is: Date.getTime() returns milliseconds after a fixed date

How to convert the numeric to date format

HI ,
     We have created the date KF and selected the data type as DEC-numeric or counter and add in the cube.
      the data for this fields in the cube are in numerics like 734.504, but when we execute the report it is converted in to date format dd.mm.yyyy.
                My issue how this conversion is working in the backend while executing the report.
Regards.
venkata

Conversion is happening because of the type you had selected for the KF while creating it.
Check the type of the Key figure?
While creating the KF you might have selected the Type as Date and Data type -DEC : Counter or amount field with comma and sign.
that's the reason why you are getting the output values displayed in dd.mm.yyyy format.
For amount field - create a KF with type "AMOUNT" and unit -0currency or specify the currency of that region.

String into date format

Hi
I was wondering if anyone knew how to convert a string into different formats,
to enable it to be stored in a mysql db.
I was wondering anyone you knew how to convert:
- String into the date format yyyy-mm--dd
- String into time format 00:00:00
- string to double
Ive tried:
c_date = java.sql.Date.valueOf(f_date);
System.out.println("conversion data: " +c_date);
c_time = java.sql.Time.valueOf(f_time);
System.out.println(" time converted data: "+c_time);
// string to double conversion
c_change = java.lang.Double.valueOf(f_change);
System.out.println(c_change);
My class doesnt execute this at all?
Also,
SimpleDateFormat sdft = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
c_date = sdft.format(f_date);
System.out.println(c_date);
.. but this method returns the error incompatible types?
Any suggestions would be helpful.. thanks in advance..

String to DATS format conversion in XI.

Hello Experts,
I am using Powerbuilder system to get my Legacy data.In Powerbuilder Date needs to be supplied in STRING format.So I am giving String Format (dd-mmm-yyyy).
However, at SAP end, Date needs to be in DATS format (Standard SAP yyyymmdd) .
In Message Mapping I have given I/P structure as String and O/P structure as DATS format. When I test mapping in XI, it gives me Parseable error.
Can anybody tell me, is there any way in XI to convert from String to DATS format so that I do not get Parseable error.
Please Help!!!!

Lokesh,
With XI there is a date transformation function under date category there you need to provide source date format and target date format..
I have used the same for fetching the data from oracle..and posting into SAP..it works fine..
Try this ..this will solve ur problem....you just need to see what is the exact date format used by powerbuilder internally...

In your post you ask how to convert a string value to a date. The value returned from the Get-AdUser is already a date. It does not need to be converted.
Bill has sshown one way to convert a date to a string and there are other methods. You need to clarify your question.
If you are really trying ot convert strings to dates then you can start with this:
[datetime]'01/21/1965 13:33:23'
Most date strings aer autodetected by the class.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
