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 internal 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,

    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 the date format 'm/d/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM' to 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:M'

    How can i convert a the date format 'm/d/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM' to 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM' in Oracle
    I have a query
    select UPPER(t.val_10) "TYPE", count(val_3) "Number of Transfers"
    from table1 t
    where t.is_active = 1
    and t.val_4 = 'INBOUND'

    I get the error [ORA-01861: literal does not match format string which i think is because

    Does anyone have an answer?

    first off, you've got to_date(to_date(...)) - NEVER do this - you're forcing an implicit to_char which can cause all sorts of problems!
    What is the data type of your column val_5? If it's DATE then your query is simply:
    select UPPER(t.val_10) "TYPE",
           count(val_3) "Number of Transfers"
    from   table1 t
    where  t.is_active = 1
    and    t.val_4 = 'INBOUND'
    and    val_5 between to_date('01/08/2008','DD/MM/YYYY') and add_months(to_date('01/08/2008','DD/MM/YYYY') ,1)
    group by UPPER(t.val_10)
    order by UPPER(t.val_10)If it's a varchar2 (why, oh why, oh why, ...?!), then your query should be:
    select UPPER(t.val_10) "TYPE",
           count(val_3) "Number of Transfers"
    from   table1 t
    where  t.is_active = 1
    and    t.val_4 = 'INBOUND'
    and    to_date(val_5, 'mm/dd/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM') between to_date('01/08/2008','DD/MM/YYYY') and add_months(to_date('01/08/2008','DD/MM/YYYY') ,1)
    group by UPPER(t.val_10)
    order by UPPER(t.val_10)Remember that dates in DATE format are stored in an internal Oracle format - in order for you to tell Oracle that your string is a date, you need to use to_date. When you want to retrieve a date, you need to use to_char to put it into the format you want to see it in.
    Remember also that your nls_date_format defines the default format that you'll see a date, which is what is used in the implicit conversion that oracle does when you select a date:
    SQL> alter session set nls_date_format='dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss';
    Session altered.
    SQL> select sysdate from dual;
    SYSDATE
    26/03/2009 11:01:53
    1 row selected.
    SQL> alter session set nls_date_format='mm/dd/yy hh12:mi:ss AM';
    Session altered.
    SQL> select sysdate from dual;
    SYSDATE
    03/26/09 11:02:24 AM
    1 row selected.It doesn't make sense to convert something that's already in a DATE format into a DATE format - in order to do that, oracle has to first change the date into a string, and it does that by using the nls_date_format parameter setting - if you're working with dates-in-strings that are in a different format, then all sorts of problems arise, as you have found out!

    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()

    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.

  • How to take System Date format

    Hai,
    DateFormat class has various date format like DEFAULT, SHORT, MEDIUM, LONG. These format will display the date in a particular format. As well as Using SimpleDateFormat class we can give our own format.
    I want to display the date with system date format. In our system we can set any date format using control panel. But how can we take that format from our program.
    If any one know give me idea..
    Thanks.

    The default locale should be enough to set the correct date format for you. You can check the currently set locale with java.util.Locale.getDefault(). java.text.DateFormat.getDateInstance() generates the proper date format for that locale.
    The other poster is right, though. You're asking for an OS dependant function which Java, rightly, does not do.

Maybe you are looking for
