How to get Default (System) Date Format Pattern?

How to get system default date format which is defined in Regional Setting of Control Panel.
We can get an instance of DateFromat using DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT) but problem is that there is no toPattern() exist in class DateFormat.
However toPattern() exist in class SimpleDateFormat but there is no costructor like SimpleDateFormat(DateFormat)
So please advise me, how can I get system short date format pattern?
Thanks

  • How to get the system date format string?

    Hello, everybody!
    I want to create a MaskFormatter with a mask for dates. So, I could suply as the constructor parameter: "##/##/####'. However, what if the year comes first in the current system date format settings, or the month is in the second place or in the first?... So, I can't just suppose that the current locale format for dates is like the one above. So, my question is: is there a way to get the SYSTEM DATE FORMAT STRING in Java? Searching in google I saw that this was already asked in this forum:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=301034&messageID=1193794
    but there was no effective answer. Does someone already know how to get this?
    Thank you.

    Hi, not sure, but
    import java.text.*;
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();
    System.out.println(sdf.toPattern());
    will output something like dd/MM/yy HH:mm
    hthThank you very much. It worked.

            Variable name : Give the variable name
            Description : Give the description
           Processing by : Customer exit

    2. Go to CMOD , include the below code for that variable.
          When 'XXXXXX' .   ( XXXXXX - Variable name)
           If  i_step = 1.
           clear l_S_range.
           l_s_range-low  = sy-datum.
           l_s_range-sign = 'I'.          " I: Include, E: Exclude
           l_s_range-opt  = 'EQ'.         " EQ: Equal, BT: Between, ....
           APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.

    Here's a sample of the code:
    [NSDateFormatter setDefaultFormatterBehavior:NSDateFormatterBehavior10_4];
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
    [dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];
    NSDate *date = [ dateFormatter dateFromString:@"7/4/2008" ];
    NSLog(@"string from date %@: %@ for locale %@", date, [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date], [[dateFormatter locale] localeIdentifier]);
    (the same code without the messed up forum syntax is at http://pastebin.com/f695ef95b)
    When I set my region (in the International system preferences) to be United States, it prints:
    2008-08-14 20:20:31.117 Date Difference[17226:10b] string from date 2008-07-04 00:00:00 -0400: 7/4/08 for locale en_US
    And when my region is United Kingdom, it prints:
    2008-08-14 20:19:23.441 Date Difference[17199:10b] string from date 2008-04-07 00:00:00 -0400: 07/04/2008 for locale en_GB
    It looks like the NSDateFormatter is insensitive to the change of regions. Notice that the raw printing of the date is properly switching with the region, though.
    What do I have to do to get the NSDateFormatter to respect the region setting?

  • How to get default baseline date in a payment terms

    Hi,
    We have around 160 payment terms used in our system. We want to get the default baseline date for all these payment terms. Going to each individual payment terms and getting the default baseline date is a cumbersome job.
    Is there any easy way to get the default baseline date for each of the payment terms, like from any table or anything else. I have tried table T052. But it does not have default baseline date.
    Please help.
    Regards
    B.Mohanty

    Hello Bibhu,
    default baseline date is a customizing setting in paymentterms. That's the only way.
    I have no idea why TC lsmw is recommended, definetely the wrong way.

  • How to get current system date and store in db

    may i know how to get the current system date so that i can store it into the database

    java.util.Date is NOT deprecated, just most of its methods are.
    Use
    new java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeMillis());to get the current date. Note that the date in a client machine
    may differ from the clock of the server!
    BTW: java.sql.Date extends java.util.Date.

  • How to get default system encoding?

    How can i check what character encoding the underlying OS uses?

    Note that file.encoding is not a standard parameter;
    to get the encoding portably you should construct an
    InputStreamReader or a FileReader and call
    getEncoding().String defaultEncoding = new
    InputStreamReader(
    new ByteArrayInputStream(new
    byte[0])).getEncoding();
    But this would give you the default encoding of java which is always iso8859-1 unless set otherwise. And I would guess it could be different from the OS encoding but I may be wrong here. Need to double check.

    Hi,
    You can use SimpleDateFormat class under java.text package.
    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy h:mm a z", new Locale());
    //formatter.setTimeZone(timezone);
    String dateTime = formatter.format(new Date());

  • 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.

  • How to show date with format conforming to system date format ?

    Hi all,
    I write Java program running on Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
    I want to show date in a status bar with the format the same as that in system date format where the program resides, so when I change the date format through the regional setting, I expect that the date format in the status bar will adjust accordingly.
    But it seems that program fails to do so, the program keeps showing short date format MM/dd/yy. I've tried to use SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance() method, but the result is the same.
    Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
