How to get ISO date format?

Hi there,
I'm having problem converting date to ISO format. How do I convert a date in the form of "Tue Sep 25 10:18:59 PDT 2007" to "20070925101859" ? Basically I am trying to get the date in "yyyymmddhhmmss". Below is my code, I keep getting "Tue Sep 25 10:18:59 PDT 2007", please help:
beginDateAsDate = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyymmddhhmmss");
sdf.format( beginDateAsDate );
endDateAsDate = beginDateAsDate;
Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance();
c1.setTime(beginDateAsDate);
c1.add(Calendar.YEAR,2);
endDateAsDate = c1.getTime();
System.out.println("Begin Date is: " beginDateAsDate.toString());+
System.out.println("End Date is: " endDateAsDate.toString()); +
Output:
Begin Date is: Tue Sep 25 10:18:59 PDT 2007
End Date is: Fri Sep 25 10:18:59 PDT 2009

Use SimpleDateFormat, but don't forget to do this first:
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));

How to get the Date format inside the table

I have a startdate column in the db in the format May 5, 2001 12:39:00 PM, when I query it from a view in this way : SELECT startdate, ... FROM ..., it returns the format in the db,
However I have to do this SELECT
decode(startdate, null, 'NOT START'), startdate), ... the result is 5-MAY-01,
then I tried this to_char(startTime, 'Month DD, YYYY HH:MI: A.M.') the results become May 05, 2001 12:39:00 PM. (more space between month and day, and 05 instaed of 5)
Does anybody know how to fix this, so I get exactly what is in the db?
Thanks in advance

No matter what you do if you are storing a date in a column it will get stored in the Oracle's internal 7 byte date format.
The way you get it on retreiving it is as set by your date format. You can either change the default date format for the instance, the individual session or the individual SQL statement(in this case using to_char(date, 'format')).
If you want to store the date in a format you want to store you'll have to store it as char or varchar2.

When you do to_char() with 'month' oracle blank pads the month to nine characters, the same goes with day too. So to get rid of it you'll have to trim() the month. And if you want to get a single digit for date less than 10 instead of 0x you'll have to do a bit of extra jugglery using translate() or replace().
Hope this helps

How to get the date format yyyy-mm-dd?

Hi,
I have an iphone (3.1.2) and would like to use the date format yyyy-mm-dd (international date format). Is the possible? If yes, how?
Cheers

I know of no other way to set the date format other than what I mentioned in my previous post. There are third party apps that will do what you want in the app. store, but they are not permitted to access the underlining software.

How to get the right format if I copy data off another source....

IWorks '08
I have a data source that I want to copy to Numbers and it posts it all in the first row, when I paste it. (Excel will automatically format it correctly). I've tried a number of different things and can't figure out how to get the data to post across the page. Can Numbers even do this?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Could you possibly have the insertion cursor blinking in the cell rather than just having a cell selected?
If the cursor is blinking in the cell, Numbers "thinks" you want to paste all of the content in that one cell. By just selecting the cell, the data will be separated if Numbers "sees" the separations. This used to be a problem, particularly with data copied from a web page in Safari, but is mostly fixed in Numbers '09.

How to get the date in 01-jan-2008 format

hi
how to get the date in 01-jan-2008 format

Check this example of how to get this format..
TABLES: T247.
DATA: V_DATE TYPE SYDATUM.
DATA: V_STRING(20).
V_DATE = SY-DATUM.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM T247
WHERE SPRAS = SY-LANGU

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
CONCATENATE V_DATE+6(2) '-' T247-KTX '-' V_DATE(4)
INTO V_STRING.
WRITE: / V_STRING.
ENDIF.
or
make use of this FM
CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_OUTPUT
and see its documentation.
or
/: SET DATE MASK = 'DD-MMM-YYYY'
&DATE&
check with this.
if it is not working try to give space between DD and MMM and YYYY
all of the three work...choose whichever suits u
eg2:
Use FM:CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_OUTPUT
Check this Program.....
DATA:DATE TYPE D VALUE '20070912'.
DATA:DATE2(12) TYPE C.
DATA:FINAL_DATE(15) TYPE C.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_OUTPUT'
EXPORTING
INPUT = DATE
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = DATE2.
CONCATENATE DATE20(2) '-' DATE22(3) '-' DATE2+5(4) INTO
FINAL_DATE.
WRITE:FINAL_DATE.
Eg:3
use FM MONTH_NAMES_GET by passing month_names-spras = 'E'
it will return the Mont names in month_names-KTX ( 3 cha short name ) & month_names-LTX ( Long text ). then concatenate 'DD''-' month_names-KTX & 'YY'

Use IW format - it will make solution NLS independent. And all you need is truncate 7<sup>th</sup> day of each month using IW:
select sysdate current_date,
        trunc(trunc(sysdate,'mm') + 6,'iw') first_monday_the_month
from dual
CURRENT_D FIRST_MON

            connect by level <= 12

How to get system date and time?

Can someone show me a code on how to get system date and time.
Thanks!

there is one really easy way to get system time, the api gives a great example of code on this. use gregorian calendar, which you'll find in the api under GregorianCalendar. You only need to create one instance of GC, ie Calendar time = new GregorianCalendar();
you save seconds, minute and hours into int values, so you don't have to access the system time every second, you can create a thread which adds one to the int second value, if oyu see what i mean, for example, i have saved the hours, minutes and seconds as int values;
int hour, minute, second;
i can then create a thread (Thread thread = new Thread(this) and run it like:
Calendar time;
int hour, minute, second;
Thread thread = null;
public MyTime() {
hour= time.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
minute = time.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
second = time.get(Calendar.SECOND);
if(thread == null) {
thread = new Thread(this);
thread.start();
public void run() {
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
while(thread == t) {
thread.sleep(1000);
second++;
if(second > 59)
minute++;
if(minute>59)
hour++;
formatTime();
public void formatTime() {
second = (second > 59? 0 : second);
minute = (minute > 59? 0 : minute);
hour = (hour > 23? 0 : hour);
System.out.println(hour+":"+minute+":"+second);
public static void main(String[] args) {
new MyTime();
I know this looks like gibberish but it should work. If not, try to fix the problem, i have written from memory really but i guarantee you, this gets the time then every second, simply adds one to the second and then formats time. You can also access the day, month and year then format them using the above code. I don't like giving code since you should really do these things yourself but it is 2:04am, i have nothing better to do and i am not tired so i did you a favour - i have become what i always did not want to, someone ho stays upall night writing code.

How to get exact date using to_date

Hi all

from po_line_locations_all plla.
In one of the plsql program i want to compare the creation date with given date where as creation date is in Timestamp format

Hi,
Use trunc or to_char with masking like 'dd/mm/yyyy' format. If this does not solve your problem then do post your sample input and sample output. As I am unable to make out what is your actual problem.

how to get changed data?
Edited by: Ki-Joon Seo on Dec 27, 2007 6:04 AM

Hi,
To get only the changed data in the ALV grid of a WD, you need to capture the "ON_DATA_CHECK" of the ALV grid.
To this please do the following in the ALV initialization of the ALV table settings :
    lr_table_settings->set_data_check(
            IF_SALV_WD_C_TABLE_SETTINGS=>DATA_CHECK_ON_CELL_EVENT ).
You may also do this:
    lr_table_settings->set_data_check(            IF_SALV_WD_C_TABLE_SETTINGS=>DATA_CHECK_ON_CHECK_EVENT)
The above two ways would depend on when do you need to check for the changed data. If you want to check the data as soon as it is entered, then use the first method. Else, use the second method.
You need to register an EVENT HANDLER for this event.(You may do this in your VIEW or Component Controller).
In this Event handler, you would find an importing parameter R_PARAM which is a ref type of      IF_SALV_WD_TABLE_DATA_CHECK.
The attribute T_MODIFIED_CELLS of this interface IF_SALV_WD_TABLE_DATA_CHECK will contain the modified cells of the ALV with the old & new values.
