How to convert "any" date format to internal format

I want to convert any date format to internal format. Is there any function module ?
The date formats could be:
DD.MM.YYYY
MM/DD/YYYY
MM-DD-YYYY
YYYY.MM.DD
YYYY/MM/DD
YYYY-MM-DD
Thank you,
Surya

IF v_char+2(1) = '.'.
CONCATENATE v_char6(4) v_char3(2) v_char(2) INTO v_date.
ENDIF.
MM/DD/YYYY
IF v_char+2(1) = '/'.

How to convert any date format?

Hi,
In the BPEL process I am getting the input in 'DD-MON-YYYY' format, I want to convert it to 'DD-MM-YYYY' format.
The function xp20:formatDateTime('string', 'image') expecting the string to be in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format. and the 'image' can be set to any format.
So i am able to convert to any format if I have the input string in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format, if I get in different format then how do I change them to required format?
--Khaleel

Looks like you are sending the date in Oracle format. If the date is created by a DB adapter the date should be formated in the correct format for BPEL to format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MI:SS). To make sure this happensyour xml needs to be the date data type and the value sent maust be a date not a string, if it is a string use the to_date to make it a date field.
You are correct once it is in the YYYY-MM-DD format you can change to any format.

How to convert any date format to default US format using javascript???

Hi,
I was trying to convert a date format to default US date format. The date format will vary according to different regions (It can be dd/MM/yyyy or MM/dd/yyyy or yyyy/dd/MM or any). I need to convert it in to MM/dd/yyyy always (US Format). Please give some
solutions for the same.
Warm Regards,
Tony Joy

hi
it is not trivial task in common case. We faced with similar issue when tried to localize date times in display templates in Sharepoint 2013 depending on site's locale, which can be done only via javascript. In order to do it you need to add date time locale
information from server side to client side, e.g. by defining global variable. See the following article for details:
Localize datetimes in display templates in Content by search web parts in Sharepoint 2013. I extended OTB global object _spPageContextInfo with new property (as far as I remember this object is also available in Sharepoint 2010):
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function() {
if (typeof (_spPageContextInfo) != "undefined" &&
_spPageContextInfo != null) {
<%
var ci = new CultureInfo(1033);
var cultureSerialized = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(
new
name = ci.Name,
dateTimeFormat = ci.DateTimeFormat,
numberFormat = ci.NumberFormat
%>
_spPageContextInfo.currentCultureSerialized = <%= cultureSerialized %>;
</script>
Having different date time formats for your locale, you may use
Date.localeFormat function from MS Ajax for formatting the date in specific format. If in your case format is predefined you may hardcode it without adding DateTime formats from server side.

How to convert a date field with format (dd,mm,yyyy) to format (mm,dd,yyyy)

Hello.
How to convert a date field with format (dd,mm,yyyy) to format (mm,dd,yyyy)
I have text field which has a databind to a date field. When I click on it, we can select the date, it is added on the format (dd,mm,yyyy). When I want to insert this date field to a database It doesnu2019t allow me to do it because it will only accept date field on the format (mm,dd,yyyy)
I tried to store this format on a date variable and I get a message saying that is impossible to convert a string into a date.
Regards,
Jose

Hi Jose,
usually you format strings in c# like
string.Format("{0:yyyyMMdd}", insertyourstring);
in your case
string.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}", insertyourstring);
[look here|http://idunno.org/archive/2004/14/01/122.aspx]
there are more details
if everything fails split the string with Mid()
or ask me

How to convert siebel date to following format?

Hi,
How to convert siebel date to following format?
01-01-2011 5:00 AM (dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm AM)
01-JAN-2011 5:00 AM (dd-MON-yyyy hh:mm AM)
01/01/2011 5:00 AM (dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm AM)
Please suggest functions for conversion. Have tried few but didnt work.
Thanks.

Excerpts from
http://bipconsulting.blogspot.com/2010/01/my-date-doesnt-like-me-with-siebel.html
".. the date data generated by Siebel with the IO is in ‘MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS’ format, so it is something like ‘10/09/2008 05:31:13’. And BI Publisher doesn’t recognize that this is a date data because it’s not presented in the ‘Canonical’ format!.."
"...There are two possible and reasonable workarounds to overcome this issue. The first one is to use one of the Siebel’s extended function ‘totext()’ to convert the Siebel date format to the ‘Canonical’ date format before the BI Publisher’s date related function comes in..."
Please read on the above link to find out how to actually resolve this issue.
Good Luck
(please if this provides a solution for you grant the points and close this thread. Thanks!)

Converting Signature data into PKCS#7 format

Hi All,
Is there any java api available to convert signature bytes in to PKCS#7 format.
Here is the scenario.
downloaded a trail digital id(abc.pfx) file from verisign site.
then retrieved the private key, certificate and public key information from the pfx file.
with the help of private key and pdf data, digital signature created.
Sample code:
KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS12");
// aa.pfx is the Digital ID got from VeriSign
keyStore.load(new FileInputStream("aa.pfx"), storepswd);
for(Enumeration e = keyStore.aliases() ; e.hasMoreElements() ;) {
alias = e.nextElement().toString();
PrivateKey privKey = (PrivateKey)keyStore.getKey(alias, storepswd);
java.security.cert.Certificate cert = keyStore.getCertificate(alias);
PublicKey pubKey = cert.getPublicKey();
Signature rsa = Signature.getInstance("MD5withRSA");
rsa.initSign(privKey);
/* Update and sign the data */
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("Testing.pdf");
BufferedInputStream bufin = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int len;
while (bufin.available() != 0) {
len = bufin.read(buffer);
rsa.update(buffer, 0, len);
bufin.close();
/* Returns the signature of all the data updated*/
byte[] rsaSign = rsa.sign();
now i want to convert this signature(rsaSign bytes) in to PKCS#7 format and embed in to pdf file. so acrobat reader can verify the signature in pdf file.
I've found the PdfSignature class in the iText lib. But it is poor.
so plz let me know if any body know how to convert signature in to PKCS#7 format. any sample code or any URL.
Thanks in Advance.
Subhani.

Yes;
1. we can test adapters very easily and quickly without any IR development.
2. we can send any formatted data without having to convert it to XML and back again, e.g. file->XI->file.
3. we can send any document from 1 sender to multiple receivers using XI to guarantee delivery.

How to Convert Binary Data in Binary File

You don't need to convert the data.
Only you can do is print it in that formats, like it:
public static String byteArrayToHex(byte[] b) {
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    for (int i = 0; i < b.length; i++)
         sb.append(Integer.toHexString(b&255) + " ");
return sb.toString();

Converting any date string to GMT standard

Hi All,
I want to convert any date string to GMT standard.
The date string may be like this.
"Sat Sep 15 14:23:40 IST 2001"
I have tried to change my defaultTimeZone .
But I don't know why it's not working.
Is there something to do with Locals?
Can anyone please tell me the way to
accomplish that ?
Thanks in advance.
Sujoy

Java stores all the dates in GMT Format , considering the machines TimeZone Setting ....and also i guess date has methods like toGMTString() and toLocaleString() . To convert the date to GMT i guess u can just say toGMTString() of the date . If u have the stringified version of date
just make a new Date(String) and then calling toGMTString of it .
