How to format date ?

[String tDate = "01/10/06";
Date dateTDate;
   DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance();
            dateTDate=df.parse(tDate);//tDate
            System.out.println("the date is "+dateTDate);I get this result --> " the date is Fri Oct 01 00:00:00 EST 6"
but I need this result--> the date is Sun Oct 01 00:00:00 EST 2006
The dates are on a file in SHORT date format. I need to read them back and perform calculations.
woops i think i got it ... DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, Locale.UK);

Form Letter Report - How To Format Date and Number Hidden Fields

Hi
Is it possible to format date and number fields in a form letter report. This case were Paper Design shows fields as $<hire_date>. The examples in reference book only print character values which do not require formatting. I cannot determine how to achieve this. Cannot select fields from Paper Design view as per other report styles where can apply formatting. Do I have to perform formatting in the query to return date as string in format I wish for? This is not case for other report styles.
Thanks

you could add a field, set the source of the field to hire_date (assuming hire_date is a column in the data model), and put a format mask of whatever format you want. then set visible to No.
then instead of &<hire_date> you can instead type &<name of your new field>.

How to Format Date / Time

I found out how to retrieve date and time from the operating system, but how do i format it.
I need the short and sweet versions.
Example:
// Retrieving from the operating system.....
String system_date = new java.util.Date().toString();
Now I want to parse the date string... for instance retriving the current date in this format (DD-MON-YYYY)....
if u know another way to retrieve the date without parsing the string so I can just pull the year instead of everything....
Thank You In Advance

Try out this code:
//TO GET THE YEAR AS A NUMBER, USE DE java.util.Calendar class
Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println("My age is " + (rightNow.get(Calendar.YEAR) - 1971));
//TO FORMAT A DATE IN YOUR LOCALE USE, java.text.DateFormat
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getInstance();
System.out.println("The date right now is " + df.format(new Date()));
//TO FORMAT A DATE IN ANOTHER FORMAT AND LOCALE...
DateFormat df2 = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, Locale.CHINA);
System.out.println("The date right now in China is " + df2.format(new Date()));
I hope this soves your problem,

How to format Data in subject line of an Email

I have an email submit button on my LiveCycle form and the client wants data from the form in the subject line of the email. I have the button set up and the patterns set up on the fields but the data in the subject line doesn't display the way it does in the fields. this is what I have.
var oDoc = event.target;
var nSubject = Page1.Top.txtEmpID.rawValue + " " + Page1.Top.dteTo.rawValue;
oDoc.mailDoc({
cTo: "[email protected]",
cSubject: nSubject,
cMsg: Page1.Top.txtLastName.rawValue + " " + "Performance Agreement"
The Employee ID is 7 digits including leading zeros (0123456) and the date is formatted MM-DD-YYYY. When it goes to the subject line it doesn't show the leading zeros (123456) and the date is formatted YYYY-MM-DD.
Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

To get the formatted date striong use formattedValue instead of the rawValue in your scriptings.

How to format data for a custom group

Hi all
I have a pivot table with Actual and Budget as columns and some accounts in the rows. Since I'm using the account hierarchical column, I created custom groups for the accounts using the Selection steps pane. For example, I created a new group called Profit to combine 3 different Profit accounts and display one Profit line.
Now I want to format the data for the Profit group. I right-click on the Profit group, choose to edit the group and click on the Format button on the bottom left corner. I add some formatting, e.g. borders. When I now view the pivot table, borders have been applied to the label of the group - so the word Profit is now bordered. However, the values in the Actual and Budget columns do not have a border. Don't know what I'm missing, but I want both the group label and the values to be formatted the same way.
How can I apply formatting to the data/values for the custom group?

Yeah tried that already, it formats the entire column whereas I need just the values for the Profit row to be formatted. Seems it is a limitation only when using custom groups?

I want to replace from 70 to 75 with above date + 2 as 120802 in 2nd line which starts with indicator 5

Can some one please tell me how to do this?
Appreciate your response.

The following will help you to extract the date and perform an arithmetic function on a date:
olddate=$(head -1 myfile | cut -c 24-29)
newdate=$(date -d "20${olddate} + 2 days" "+%y%m%d")You may have to implement some logic if the year is before this century, e.g 1999. For the rest I suggest you look into awk or sed to perform a string replacement based on character position.

How to format date faster than SimpleDateFormat

Hi All,
Can someone tell me way to format the date faster than SimpleDateFormat.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!!
Puneet

At times when we declare formatter again and again,
the SimpleDateFormat's performance is less as
compared to the apache's FastDateFormat..1) Decaring it wouldn't be what makes it slow. Instantiating it would.
2) As already stated--simply don't instantiate that many of them. Create a few and reuse them.
3) So what if the other one is faster? Have you run into actual problems with SimpleDateFormat being a bottleneck? A Ferrari is faster than my car, but it makes no significant difference for how I use a car. I would not realize any meaningful speed improvement if I had a Ferrari.
4) If the other one is faster and it's that buggerall important, then use the faster one.
. So I was
trying to find out if Sun has something to solve my
problem.You can peruse the API docs as well as anybody else.
I am using the formatting in batch process
so data to process is huge.Have you found a bottleneck? Have you put a profiler on it? Have you determined that it's the parsing that's causing the problems and that creating is negligible?

How to format Date uptil the milliseconds

Hi All,
I am trying to use XSLT transformation and i need a timestamp till the milliseconds.
I used the following function and it gave me time uptil seconds
xp20:current-dateTime()

But it does not work. The transformation is failing. Can someone guide me as to how to achieve this?

How to format date/time in display hints?

To those of you who know it:
One of the attributes in a VO is of Date type. To display of the date in the format of "10/25/2009 11:45 PM", I only managed to display "10/25/2009 11:45" with only the clue of the few examples provided in display hints when doing the formatting (the format mask I use is MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm). I would appreciate it if someone could advise how to display the AM/PM part of the format mask. Or better yet, point me to a source of reference for such formattnig.
Thanks!
Newman

Newman,
As suggested by Puthanampatti, you have to use 'a' in the date pattern to display AM/PM.
You can find date and time patterns in [SimpleDateFormat API doc|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html] which describes more about the letters to be used for each pattern which you can also use with attribute display hints in VO.

How to format dates in SQLExec query

I am trying to archive Lookout data to an Oracle database using SQLExec. I started with existing SQLExec code that put data into Access. Following is that code:
"Insert into wind_temp (Rdate,Wind,Temp) values ("&text(now(Timer3),"0.00000000")&",
"&text(\\SCADA1\Server\Drivers\Corral\ROCSouth.Wind,"0.000")&",
"&text(\\SCADA1\Server\Drivers\Corral\ROCSouth.Temp,"0.000")&")", 8, no);
The Rdate column in wind_temp table is date type. If I change the type to varchar2 (string) this works, so my ODBC connection is good. The problem is that for date fields Oracle needs a string in DD-MON-YYYY (i.e. 01-JAN-2002) format or string data converted to a date (i.e. to_date('01-JAN-2002 12:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MIS')). Is there a way
using the now() or other function to build a "to_date" string like above to pass to Oracle?

Here you go:
text(now(),"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss")
This will give you slashes and not dashes and a number for the month and not the abbreviated name.
Here is the expansion that does what you need:
left(text(now(),"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss"),2)&"-"&if(mid(text(now(),"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss"),4,2)="01","JAN",if(mid(text(now(),"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss"),4,2)="02","FEB",if(mid(text(now(),"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss"),4,2)="03","MAR",if(mid(text(now(),"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss"),4,2)="04","APR",if(mid(text(now(),"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss"),4,2)="05","MAY",if(mid(text(now(),"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss"),4,2)="06","JUN",if(mid(text(now(),"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss"),4,2)="07","JUL",if(mid(text(now(),"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss"),4,2)="08","AUG",if(mid(text(now(),"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss"),4,2)="09","SEP",if(m
id(text(now(),"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss"),4,2)="10","OCT",if(mid(text(now(),"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss"),4,2)="11","NOV",if(mid(text(now(),"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss"),4,2)="12","DEC","ERROR"))))))))))))&"-"&mid(text(now(),"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss"),7,15)
The date I got from this was:
11-APR-2002 11:54:35
I would recommend using multiple expression objects to simplify reading the code. I included it here, all in one expression, so you could copy and paste it for testing.
I tested it on Lookout 5.0. It works.
Study the text() function and the general text manipulation functions. You can do just about anything with a little creativity.

Formatting data series in charts

Hello all,
Need help in how to format data series used in charts(pie and bar). The charts show proper data but i need the amounts in the charts to be formatted using comma separators and $ symbol. Had tried using the NSTR functions and these work properly for table data , but not for charts. Could someone pls conform if this is a known limitation with charts or is this yet another issue with ehp1 ? If so , are there any other alternatives for this approach.
Vc version is 7.01 SP5 (ehp1)
Any help would be appreciated.

Did you try:
OracleBI/web/app/res/s_.../popbin/
EX:
line.pcxml Look for <SeriesDefinition ...
we modified the line width and a few other things. You'll have to modify all the pcxml files for all the chart types you want to customize.

Hi,
You can get it from "User" or "Shop" business object.
Try to get User or Shop Business Object as shown below.
BusinessObjectManager bom = (BusinessObjectManager) userSessionData.getBOM(BusinessObjectManager.ISACORE_BOM);
User user = bom.getUser();
char decimalNotation = user.getDecimalPointFormat().getGroupingSeparator();
If you are seeing "1,234.00" then above code will return "."
I hope this information help you to resolve your issue.

How to print formated data/report on client's printer (Web Application)

Hi All
I want to print some formatted data/report ( it might be 1000 pages) on user's printer.
Application is web based
Technology used are Java - jsp - servlets
i want functionality like...
when user click on print button/link, data is fetched from server and all pages (it is formated data so i want alignment on page while printing) should be printed one after another.
Also printer selection dialog should displayed one time when user click on print button/link.
Questions:
1. How i will transfer all data to client (web browser) from the server ??
2. And how i can print that data on user's printer ??
There is requirement (or limitation) that I can not use applet for this purpose.
And also it is not fix that we must use java tech., we can use any othere tech. but condition is that it must support multiple platform (in short platform indipendant)
There is solution like ...
I can use window.print() function of DOM/JavaScript,
but it prints only one page which is displayed on browser.
I don't want to display any page. and want to print all pages.
if any one done or have idea then let me know.
Thanks in Adv.
Shailesh Koradiya

thanks linxpda for reply,
we can use ActiveX component for windows platform for printing purpose, same way we can use platform specific component for printing... (for linux, unix, sun solaris etc...)
if it is possible then let me inform.
Thanks,
