How to validate for proper date format

Hi Experts,
I am using following Fm to calculate date difference.....
call function 'FIMA_DAYS_AND_MONTHS_AND_YEARS'
      exporting
        i_date_from = wa_draw-zdm_vld_to_dat
        i_date_to   = sy-datum
      importing
        e_days      = v_days.
    if sy-subrc = 0 .
      if v_days > 0.
But value of field zdm_vld_to_dat (data type DATS , YYYYMMDD)   in database tables itself is wrong   ...like ct/-0/29-o
I want to avoid passing these wrong data entry, in the FM...as also i give info message for this in spool.
So can anybody tel me How can I detect or know this fields zdm_vld_to_dat conatins wrong date other than YYYYMMDD...e.g.
ct/-0/29-o   means any charecter or hyphen
Thank you.

Hi Nilesh Hiwale,
1. First thing is there is no need for any function module for difference between two dates
See this.
Data:
days type i
date1 type wa_draw-zdm_vld_to_dat
date2 type sy-datum.
days = date2 - date1.
Write / days.
> (OR)
2. write this condition in PAI module of your screen.
At selection-screen.
if date1 cn '1234567890'. or date2 cn '123456789'.
write e000(Sabapdocu) with 'Enter YYYYMMDD Formate'.
endif.
Reward if it is useful,
Mahi.

How does one change the date format for PlayMemories Home folders?

I am using PlayMemories Home Version 2.0.00.11271 and have many folders within it which contain only photographs imported from my Sony DSC-H9. Unfortunately, PlayMemories Home insists upon dating all folders in a month/day/year manner; and this makes little sense if one wishes to have the folders listed in logical chronological order. How can I change the date format to year/month/day? Changing the name of each folder, one by one, will take a very long time! Your helpful advice in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. System information:
Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Service pack : Service Pack 3
Memory: 1.5 GB
Processor:         Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz
Max. clock speed: 1.86
Manufacturer: IBM
Model: 1847W76
System language setting: English (United States)
User language setting: English (United States)

I too thought that the folder naming format was obviously wrong and couldn't find a way to change it. I do agree that placing photos in folders according to when they were taken is a great idea. I had been considering writing some software to do just that. After discovering that PlayMemories does it, I had it re-import all my photos. Then I wrote a small Perl script to rename all of the folders into year-month-day format. Included here is the Perl script. It only acts on a single folder - use it on the root folder where all the PlayMemories folders are. It will rename all folders currently in a month-day-year format. I used it without problems but of course there is no guarentee that it is error free. This should work with any common version of Perl. Tom # There should be one command line argument: the directory to act upon
if ( scalar(@ARGV) == 0 ){
print "Usage: RenameDirs <dir>\n";
print " Where dir is the directory containing the directories to rename.\n";
exit;
$mydir = $ARGV[0];
chdir $mydir or die "Couldn't chdir to $mydir: $!";
opendir(ROOTPHOTODIR, ".") or die "Failed to open the pictures directory $mydir: $!";
@allphotodirs = readdir ROOTPHOTODIR;
closedir ROOTPHOTODIR;
foreach $dir (@allphotodirs) {
if ( -d $dir ) {
  print "$dir is a directory";
  if ( $dir =~ /^(\d{1,2})-(\d{1,2})-(\d{4})$/ ) {
   print " and has the proper format: month $1 day $2 year $3 and will be renamed to ";
   $newname = sprintf "%4u-%02u-%02u", $3, $1, $2;
   print "$newname\n";
   rename $dir, $newname or die "failed to rename $dir to $newname: $!";
  else {
   print " but is not of the proper format\n"
elsif ( -f $dir ) {
  print "$dir is a file\n";
else {
  print "$dir is neither a directory nor a file\n";
}

How can I change the date format in Reminders and in Notes?

How can I change the date format in both Notes and Reminders? Preference on Imac and Settings in IOS do not allow me to change the format in those 2 apps.
I Like to see 10oct rather than 10/10, as an example.

pierre
I do not have Mavericks or iOS - but the first thing I would do is reset the defaults - I'll use Mavericks as an example
From If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac - Apple Support
OS X Yosemite and Mavericks
    Open System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Language & Region.
    Click the Advanced button.
    Click the Dates tab.
    Click the Restore Defaults button.
    Click the Times tab.
    Click the Restore Defaults button.
    Click OK.
    Quit the app where you were seeing incorrect dates or times displayed.
    Open the app again, and verify that the dates and times are now displayed correctly.
Then customize to taste - OS X Mavericks: Customize formats to display dates, times, and more
OS X Mavericks: Customize formats to display dates, times, and more
Change the language and formats used to display dates, times, numbers, and currencies in Finder windows, Mail, and other apps. For example, if the region for your Mac is set to United States, but the format language is set to French, then dates in Finder windows and email messages appear in French.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Language & Region.
    Choose a geographic region from the Region pop-up menu, to use the region’s date, time, number, and currency formats.
    To customize the formats or change the language used to display them, click Advanced, then set options.
    In the General pane, you can choose the language to use for showing dates, times, and numbers, and set formats for numbers, currency, and measurements.
    In the Dates and Times panes, you can type in the Short, Medium, Long, and Full fields, and rearrange or delete elements. You can also drag new elements, such as Quarter or Milliseconds, into the fields.
    When you’re done customizing formats, click OK.
    The region name in Language & Region preferences now includes “Custom” to indicate you customized formats.
To undo all of your changes for a region, choose the region again from the Region pop-up menu. To undo your changes only to advanced options, click Advanced, click the pane where you want to undo your changes, then click Restore Defaults.
To change how time is shown in the menu bar, select the “Time format” checkbox in Language & Region preferences, or select the option in Date & Time preferences.
Here's the result AppleScript i use to grab the " 'Short Date' ' + ' 'Short Time' " to paste into download filenames - works good until I try to post it here - the colon " : " is a no-no but is fine in the Finder
Looks like iOS Settings are a bit less robust
- Date/Time formats are displayed according to 'tradition' of your region > http://help.apple.com/ipad/8/#/iPad245ed123

Formscentral - how do I change required date format to long date (e.g. January 2, 2014) in a form field?

Formscentral - how do I change required date format to long date (e.g. January 2, 2014) in a form field? I can't seem to change it from the short date format.

Hi,
I would suggest you to change the form language to English (UK), Here are the steps:-
1. Open your form in FormsCentral
2. Clik on Options tab
3. Click on Language and Formatting and check out the selection for Form Language and make sure English (U.K.) is selected and the default date format should be day/month/year.

I am unix HP unix 11.

Your question is outside the scope of this Linux forum space, and is locked.
You seem to hope for assistance with a specific Unix that is a product from a specific company.
I suggest you go to that company's forum community and ask there. You will undoubtedly find many people there that are familiar with the nuances if that OS.

In Thunderbird, how do I change the date format for the column display?

I want the date to show as DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM AM/PM. Although this should be really obvious (and I know I've done it in the past), I can't find where to do this and can't find anything in Thunderbird Help on this, not even when I search "Thunderbird, change date format".

Thunderbird usually uses the computer date and time and settings.
I'm using Windows and notice that TB is using the short date format which I set up under Regional & Language Options.
Are you using the International settings or Date/Time settings?
It should pick up the settings from the 'International' or maybe its called now called 'Language & Text' setting.
not sure which of these suits your macbook:

How to validate inserted xml data in oracle is correct or not

(i.e.how to validate xml syntax and tags are correct)
XML data has been inserted in Oracle database.Once inserted
I want to validate that data entered and tags inserted are correct
or not.
Pl help

Some small remarks after a life time of write that small notepad.
Don't use XMLIsValid() - Apperently it was once ment for use in table constraints only AND the most annoying part, it doesn't give you a proper error message.
More usable is schemaValidate() - it throws a useful error message... I never came around to update that post or write a proper one while using schemaValidate().
I would be against advising / using a Java wrapper to achieve this goal unless you are on a pre 9.2 database version. Registering, validation and such is optimized (in memory) in Oracle from the beginning in 9.2.0.3 and onwards to avoid for instance reparsing of the XML Schema itself. If a XML Schema is registered a lot is optimized including DOM, which will be avoided and "outsmarted" by using XOB objects (see the Oracle manuals only a few hits and those will point you directly to the optimizations at hand).

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?
