How to convert a timestamp to date/time in CDS View?

Dear experts,
I would like to convert a timestamp to a date and time within a CDS view.
This is what I tried to do:
Cast (Cast(<timestamp> as abap.dec(8,0)) as abap.dats) as <date>
I also thought about first converting the timestamp into a plain numerical character, then using substring and then casting it to abap.dats. Then its giving me an error that says: "dec can't be converted into numc".
The above written code also throws an error - "function not allowed/ no cast within a cast".
It is quite nasty not being able to write a cast within a cast - how else am i supposed to achieve a date here?
I am looking forward to have your answers!
Thanks and BR
Anja

Hi Anja,
what you try to do is currently not possible, a feature not available in CDS views.
Yet it surely is a feature, ABAP developers would like to see on the feature request list .
Cheers,
Jasmin

How to convert oracle timestamp to java timestamp

Hi,
I need to convert oracle timestamp that i got from oracle database to java timestamp.I tried to use getTimestamp() to get timestamp value from oracle, but am getting NumberFormatException.
Could any of suggest how to convert oracle timestamp to java timestamp.

Thanks jverd ,
then my code will be like:
String oracleTS="11-MAR-05 11.19.20.625 AM";
// am looking for yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss format
SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd
HH:mm:ss");
Timestamp javaTimestamp=Timestamp.valueOf(oracleTS);
System.out.println("javaTimestamp----->>
"+javaTimestamp);
ving java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input
string: "MAR"Well, the SimpleDateFormat has to actually match the format you're trying to parse, for one thing. Then you have to actually USE the SDF, which you didn't.
You really haven't made it clear what you're trying to do, and it doesn't appear that you bothered to study the links I provided.
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy HH.mm.ss.SSS aa");
Date date = df.parse(oracleTS);
Timestamp ts = new Timestamp(date.getTime());

How to copy Log text (with Date, Time stamp ) User IDfrom BP to Transaction

Hi Experts,
Can someone guide us how to copy Log text (with Date ,Time & User ID) fron Business partner (Prospect) to transactions by text detrmination procedure.
Regards,
Basavaraj Patil

save text
Fill out following parameters of SAVE_TEXT function module:
HEADER
TDOBJECT C 10 BUT000
TDNAME C 70 10 digit BP number
TDID C 4 Z001
TDSPRAS C 1 Language
INSERT = X
LINES
TDFORMAT TDLINE
|
|testtttttttttttttttttttttttt( Your text)
I would suggest you to use some other BAPI that would attach your text to BP than SAVE_TEXT.
If you still wanted to use SAVE_TEXT then first make sure how the TDNAME is generated. It depends on the text determination procedure. For examples, it can be guid of BP, GUID followed by date or time or else the BP number itself.
Just go to BP transaction, double click on the text pad, it will open you the SAP Script editor. Click on menu GOTO and select Header which will give you info about your TDID, TDOBJECT, TDNAME....
Hope this helps.

Converting unix timestamp to date after Daylight Saving Time change

Hello,
in one of the products we use the internal scheduler stores dates (and times) in an Unix-like format, that is seconds since 1st of January 1970. We have used this SQL to extract the actual date:
TO_CHAR(t.next_fire_time/(24*60*60*1000) +to_date('19700101020000','yyyymmddhh24miss'),'yyyymmddhh24miss')
Everything worked fine until the time has changed this weekend from UTC+2 to UTC+1 (we are located in Eastern Europe). Since then the query above returns one hour later than it should.
I.e. timestamp *1320067800000* is returned as *20111031153000* even thought correct is (and the actual time the event was scheduled) *31-OCT-11 02.30.16.000000 PM*
I found queries like this on different forums and no one seems to worry much about the daylight savings. Is this a configuration issue in the DB or is it a bug in our code?
I tried selecting the SESSIONTIMEZONE and DBTIMEZONE and both were +1.
Any help appreciated.

Your problem is hard-coded 2hour offset:
to_date('19700101<font size=5 color=red>02</font>0000','yyyymmddhh24miss')You need to calculate current offset to adjust it to current DST situation:
with sample_table as (
                      select date '1970-01-01' + 1320067800000 / 1000 / 3600 / 24 dt_utc from dual
select dt_utc,
        dt_utc +
        extract(
                     timezone_hour
                from
                     from_tz(cast(dt_utc as timestamp),'utc') at time zone 'Europe/Prague'
               ) / 24 dt_prague,
        extract(
                     timezone_hour
                from
                     from_tz(cast(dt_utc as timestamp),'utc') at time zone 'Europe/Prague'
               ) tz_offset
from sample_table
DT_UTC              DT_PRAGUE            TZ_OFFSET

How to change the "content created" date/time in FCPX?

Since I've had problems importing my whole iMovie event library into FCPX I decided to run some tests with importing individual files (part of iMovie events and originally imported from camera into iMovie). Some of them for some reason got the wrong "content created" date/time in them while in iMovie they have the right date/time set. Does anybody have an idea on how to change the "content created" timestamp?

I had a bunch of DV files that imported stamped with the file modification date and time. I did not find a way to change it in FCPX. With FCPX not running, I used A Better Finder Attributes to modify the creation and modification dates of the files in the event folder. FCPX reconnected to them but the event still showed the old range of dates so I created a new event and moved the clips to it. Maybe ther is a beter way but that is how I did it.

Problem converting U8 array to date-time string

Hi All,
How can I convert U8 array (time_t data type from C dll) to date time string?
A dll function that I am calling has a structure of string, integer and time_t as one of the parameters. Instead of passing cluster, I pass an array of U8 of the size that the structure should be. All the members of the strcuture and parsed correctly except the date/time.
Function Parameter:
typedef struct {
Int AlarmState ;
Int AlarmGrade ;
TCHAR AlarmMessage [100] ;
time_t AlarmTimeStamp ;
} WV_ALARM_INFO ;
Total size = 4 + 4 + 100 + 4 = 112
Using Call Library Function, I set the parameter type to Array of U8 and size 112.
After the array is populated when the function is called, I have done the following to interpret date and time.
1) Using Extract Zero Terminated String.VI I converted U8 array (of size 4) to string.
2) Type casted string to integer (I32).
3) Swap bytes
4) Swap Words
5) Format Date/Time String.
Please see the attached screenshot for visual display of the above.

Hi Mimansa,
Is it only the year that is incorrect? Also, where did you find that ABC\0 VI that you use 3 times? Did you make it or is it in a labview library somewhere?

How can I make the current date/time be sent when emailing as XML?

I'm creating a form for a customer to use for submitting print jobs. This customer will be emailing the XML form data, which will in turn be converted into a production order. I'd like to make the PDF form capture my customer's system time, so that I know when they filled out the form. I COULD just leave that up up the customer and use required current date and time fields, but that provides the ability for the customer to falsify that information.
Is there any good way to capture the current date/time in the XML data, so that the customer doesn't need to nor has the ability to?
Any suggestions would be great!

You can use the following methods getHours(),getMinutes(), and getSeconds() from the date object to obtain the values for hour,minute,and second.

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 normal timestamp to julian timestamp in oracle

How can i convert normal timestamp to Julian Timestamp in Oracle ?
Thanks for your help

Hi Chris,
I dont have any idea on this. But need clarification on your query.
When I executing below query I'm getting same output. 'J' will give only Julian day right not the timestamp. Please correct me if I am wrong.

FCP 6 - How to sort clips (photos) by Date/Time (only)?

Hello All;
I am trying to do something farily simple (I think) but it doesn't seem to be working.
Here's my situation - I am creating a video slide show in FCP consisting probably of about 250 photos from about four different sources but all taken over about 4 days. I imported all of them into a single bin of FCP. I simply want to order each of those photos by the DATE/TIME. If I right-click, I am only able to order by filename or size. However, it I right-click and select "view as list", I am able to reorder by date but it even though it does reorder by date, they are still sorted by filename so this isn't what I want.
Anyone know an easy way (preferably) that i can order a directory exclusively by date/time irrespective of the filename or any other item which I can then move into a FCP timeline ?
Thanks.
Tim

Get a copy of [File Sequencer|http://www.johnnarun.com/file_sequencer>.
Place your photos into a folder and set it to List View, sorted by creation date.
Start File Sequencer and determine a starting number, then point it at the folder of images.
You can then import the images into FCP in the right order. They will be sorted by their new name.
It's pretty much self-explanatory to use but you might want to do this on a small batch of copies of your images first, to get the hang of it.
