How to replace blank values in DATE field with 00000000

Hi
I have a DSO with Date field in which there are blank values. I want to replace the blank values in the DSO for date field with 00000000. Because of this blank values in the DSO the report is giving an ORA error.
How do we replace the blank values in the DSO for historical data and also the new loads?
Please advise.
Thank you.
Regards,
Pavan.

Hi Suman,
I'm trying to run a query built on a DSO. The DSO has a field 'Start Date'. This Start Date InfoObject has a reference Char as 0DATE.
This Start Field has blank values due to which I'm getting the ORA-01722 error. I came across many threads with same topic of discussion. As mentioned in one of the Threads I have written a program to update 'Start Date' with 00000000. The code wriiten is "UPDATE /BIC/AZ_MONINV00 SET /BIC/ZSTR_DTE = '00000000' where /BIC/ZSTR_DTE = ' '.
Now when I see the data in the active data table of DSO the blank value is replaced with '00000000'.
But If I right click on the DSO click on display data the 'Start Date' field is blank. And now the Query also gets executed without any error. But in the output of the query the 'Start Date' Field has "#" values.
Can anyone suggest on how to remove these "#" values in the report?

RESULT = '20990101'.
ENDIF.

How to Replace Null Value as 0 in an OBIEE11g Pivot Table? it's working 10g

Hi,
How to Replace Null Value as 0 in an OBIEE11g Pivot Table? it's working in obiee10g version.
We have tried below methods
1) criteria tab and edit the ‘column properties’ associated with your fact measure. Choose the ‘Data Format’ tab, tick to override the default format and choose ‘Custom’.
It seems that the syntax for this custom format is positive-value-mask (semi colon) negative-value-mask (semi colon) null-mask. So this means we have a few options.
E.g. if you want zeros (0) instead of null then enter:
#,##0;-#,##0;0
2) in that formula columns we have put it below case condition also ,
Measure Column: Nom_amt --> edit formulas
CASE WHEN Nom_amt IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE Nom_amt END
3) we have uncheked IS NULL check box in the admin tool also
I tried above formats still it's not working for me..kindly help me on this..
thanks to do the needfull

How to replace content in text data type?

How to replace content in text data type?
when we sending the mails we are taking content from the database.
The data is maintained in text data type column. Now i have to replace some of content in mail content
(text data type column) from database.
I tried by using REPLACE function but data is truncated

The data is maintained in text data type column.
Hello,
See REPLACE (Transact-SQL) => "If
string_expression is not of type varchar(max) or
nvarchar(max), REPLACE
truncates the return value at 8,000 Bytes"
You may should consider to Change the data type from "Text" (deprecated) to NVarChar(max).
Otherwise you have to use
UPDATETEXT (Transact-SQL) for the text data type.

How to set default value to date type attribute.

Hi,
How to set default value to date type attribute.
E.g I want to set u201C01/01/1999u201D to date attributes.
First i want to set value and then i want to fetch the same & want to check equals.
please suggest solution.
Regards,
Smita

Hi,
In wdinit() method u can set the date
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date today = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
String reportDate = df.format(today);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setFromDate(reportDate);
Another way you have set the this formate like that
1. Create a Simple type under "Dictionaries->SimpleType" called DateFormat
2. Select the type as "date"
3. Go to the "Representation" tab and set the format as "dd/MM/yyyy" (or whatever u want, but month should be MM)
4.Bind the context attribute to the type created now.
Hope this helps u.
Best Regards

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()
