How to parse the year from a date.

Hi,
I have the following date format in database.
05-SEP-07
18-OCT-07
18-OCT-07
25-JUL-07
18-OCT-07
What I am trying to do is get only the full year from the date, example
2007
2008
2009
I tried to use extract function but that doesn't work due to ORA-01843: not a valid month.
Thanks in advance.
select extract(year from date '18-OCT-07') from dual;

OK. You got an error using date literal. Did you at least look in documentation on date literals? I guess not, otherwise you'd see that data literal synatx is DATE 'YYYY-MM-DD':
SQL> select extract(year from date '18-OCT-07') from dual;
select extract(year from date '18-OCT-07') from dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01843: not a valid month
SQL>
SQL> select extract(year from date '2007-10-18') from dual;
EXTRACT(YEARFROMDATE'2007-10-18')
2007
SQL> SY.
P.S. "I have the following date format in database" is completely wrong dates are always stored in one format - internal date format that stores year, month, day, hour, minute and second. When you select date using client tools like SQL*Plus, SQL Developer, Toad, etc. date is converted to string using either explicit or implicit format where you specify which parts of date you want to see.

How do I pull just the year from a date?

I'm trying to pull just the year from a date and cannot figure out how this can be done. I tried the SUBSTR fuction but its not acting how I would expect. What I'm wanting to do is write a condition that says Item Birth Year = Current Year minus 23 I have a calc that figures the age from the difference in the birthdate and current year but I'd really like to just write a condition based just one years. Can this be done?

Hello
SUBSTR will only work on a string. To extract portions of a date you need to use the TO_CHAR command.
To get the year you would use this: TO_CHAR(the_date,'YYYY')
TO_CHAR takes 2 switches, the date to be manipulated and the portion to be extracted, with the portion in single quotes.
Once you get used to manipulating dates like this other common pieces are: DD - extracts the day of the month, MON extracts the 3 character code for the month.
Thus you can use this: TO_CHAR(sysdate,'DD-MON-YYYY') and it will convert the current date, June 7th 2012 to 07-JUN-2012
Hope this helps
Best wishes

Read Year from System Date & Compare - Assistance required

Hi All,
I am trying to read only the year part from the system date & then checking if any entry exists in EKKO table (EKKO-BEDAT) for the year. I think i am making an error in my data declaration for V_YEAR & in my select statement (EKKO~BEDAT LIKE V_YEAR), not sure how to compare only the year part, can someone help.
DATA:
    V_EBELN TYPE EKPO-EBELN,
    V_YEAR TYPE SY-DATUM.
CLEAR: V_EBELN, V_YEAR.
*Read year from system date
V_YEAR = SY-DATUM+0(4).
CONCATENATE '%' '%' '%' '%' V_YEAR INTO V_YEAR.
*Select section
SELECT SINGLE EKPO~EBELN INTO V_EBELN
FROM EKPO
INNER JOIN EKKO
    ON EKPOEBELN = EKKOEBELN
INNER JOIN LFM1
    ON EKKOLIFNR = LFM1LIFNR
   WHERE EKKO~LIFNR = LFM1-LIFNR
     AND EKKO~BEDAT LIKE V_YEAR
     AND EKPO~LOEKZ = SPACE.

Hi Sougata,
Thanks for the inputs, but it is not working:
Move:      sy-datum(4) to v_begda, -> This reads the system year 2008
        '0101'     to v_begda, -> This changes 2008 to 0101
        sy-datum(4) to v_endda, -> This reads system year i.e. 2008
        '1231'     to v_endda. -> This changes 2008 to 1231
Also in the select statement
AND EKKO~BEDAT between v_begda and v_endda
This would not work, as EKKO-BEDAT is in year month date format.
So can you please clarify why we are assigining 0101 & 1231 & also how we can compare only the year in EKKO-BEDAT with System Year
Update
I tried to
concatenate '0101 into v_begda.
concatenate '1231' into v_endda.
but system prompts "charlike-field" expected after "'0101'"
Can you please advice?

How to subtract a day from the presentation variable @{system.currentTime}

Hello,
How can subtract a day from the presentation variable - @{system.currentTime}
I use the above as a title in the report. However I want to subtract a day from the above variable. How can I accomplish it?
Thanks.

Hi,
Did you try the steps which I mentioned above. You can use TIMESTAMPADD function in many places in your report but I think not in title section of the title view.
Also you can try using Narrative view instead of title view to achieve this. Follow below steos:
* Pull another column in the report and change its fx to TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -1, @{system.currentTime})
* Now go to the Narrative view and add the below text in Narrative section of the view.
Active Person Report as of @1
Here @1 assuming the new column created is placed before all the columns in the request.
* Also set the 'Rows to Display' as 1.
* Delete Title view from the report and this narrative view on top of your report.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

What error did you get?
maybe your column name is wrong? Is it really A_somthing? This is possible but slightly unusual.
also possible
select extract(Year from sysdate) from dual;
