Input Date Formatting

I apologize for asking such a newbie question, but I'm not finding what I'm looking for in the help.
I have a jsp data input page that contains a date field. How do I put the slashes in so that the user is prompted to enter in 'MM/DD/YYYY' format?
An example of how this would be done would be wonderful!

If you are using ADF Business Components - then you set this at the attribute level control hints - see this demo (slide 97) -

Problem with input data format - not "only" XML

Hi Experts,
I have problem with input data format.
I get some data from JMS ( MQSeries) , but input format is not clear XML.
This is some like flat file with content of XMLu2026.
Example:
0000084202008-11-0511:37<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document xmlns="urn:xsd:test.01" xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance Sndr="0001" Rcvr="SP">
...content....
</Document>000016750
Problems in this file is :
1. data before parser <? xml version="1.0"> -> 0000084202008-11-0511:37
2. data after last parser </Document> -> 000016750
This data destroy XML format.
Unfortunately XI is not one receiver of this files and we canu2019t change this file format in queue MQSeries ( before go to XI) .
My goal is to get XML from this file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document xmlns="urn:xsd:test.01" xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance Sndr="0001" Rcvr="SP">
...content....
</Document>
My questions:
1. Is any way or technique to delete this data 0000084202008-11-0511:37 in XI from this file ?
2. Is any way to get only XML from this file ?
Thanx .
Regards,
Seo

Hi Buddy
What is the XI adapter using?
If you use inbound File adapter content conversion you could replace these values with none and then pass it to the scenario.
Does that help?

Input date format

Can anyone tell me where can I configure to have the input data for date format be dd-mm-yy.
This is only possible when formatting the cell.
I'm use to enter date starting by day, month.. in this order. Every time I apply my input date it comes with a wrong result, so I need to enter year-month-day in this order. My Mac is configured to my region.

Pedro Santos wrote:
this is exactly what it's doing. YY-mm-dd- My system settings have dd-mm-yy, but in the last line saids yy-mm-dd (this I cannot change).
I responded:

<http://idisk.me.com/koenigyvan-Public?view=web>
+and download:+
foriWork:add_dateformats.zip
This script adds some formats to the list of recognised ones.
I was able to write it but I am perfectly unable to apply it on your machine
\Input date for me should be dd-mm-yy. In excel everytime I enter day-month, the year was autocomplete. Can I use the same configuration in Numbers, or I need to input all date (dd-mm-yy) ?
I'm always wondering when I read this kind of question.
Trying to do what you want is faster than asking on a forum.
Why not try to enter dd/mm or dd-mm by yourself?
Your machine will not explode.
On my machine, Numbers completes automatically with the current year but, maybe yours is a special version

Input data format

Hi:
I am using ni5640r.
1. I want to transfer an array of data which is generated by labview from host to fpga by using Invoke method (write), do I need to set up I and Q before I transfer it and which format am I using U32, U16 or I16?
2. In FPGA, when I read the data from host and send it to FPGA I/O node, do I need to convert it to 14 bit?
Thanks

Please refer to the Analog Input Output example which ships with the NI-5640R drivers.

Working with SAP Data Format yyyy.mm.dd in data services

Hi,
I had 2 questions about date formats coming from SAP to DS .
1) I am trying to convert date fieild from SAP that is formated to yyyy.mm.dd to mm/dd/yyyy but I am not having any luck .. I am using the to_date function when I run this below I get null values in my template table . I think it has to do with me not stating my input date format but cannot seem to get the correct syntax's any ideas ?
2) Does Data Services recognize dates which are formatted as yyyy.mm.dd ?? When I put I added a column to a template table and added the sys date command it returned the sys date as yyyy.mm.dd BUT when I try a fiscal_day function (which should brings back the number of days between the input (my SAP source date ) and the sys date which are formatted the same (yyyy.mm.dd) I get a format error (input parameter 2009.03.10 is not valid) . any ideas ?
Thanks for your time,
Brett

Hello Brett
to_date convert STRING to date based on input format.
As i understand your source data not in string format.Is this correct?
Use combination to_char->to_date for your transformation

Sqlldr date format

Dear experts,
I'm trying to load txt file into table via sqlldr. I'm receiving error "Rejected - Error on table TEST_TABLE, column PERIOD_START_TIME. ORA-01843: not a valid month

Do you know where/how to force SQLLDR to interpret it correcly? Is it somehow related to NLS_Lang. settings?

If you want a DATE column displayed in a particular format, then use TO_CHAR in the query that produces the display, or change NLS_DATE_FORMAT to set the default date format in your session. For example:

How to change date format for FM ?

Experts !
i am trying to use FM DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT. for this FM the input date formate is mmddyyyy
but my variable returns in yyyymmdd. bcoz of that my FM doesnt understand the input date.
how do i do this? i am very poor in abap skills so will not do too much of codeing to convert.
thanks

Thanks Gharu !
I do get the correct formate using your code. but the problem if i debug my code goes till the FM and then it kicks it out. i dont know why.
The data type what you have define in your code is not what i have in my code. is it bcoz of that.
In your code..l_date type sydatum
in my code ...l_date like sydatum <-----Do you think i sould make it type ?
Also, in your code ..
l_olddate(8) type c,
l_newdate(8) type c,
while in my code..
l_olddate LIKE sy-datum
l_newdate LIKE sy-datum
Do u think i should change data type ?
If yes , then it will be big change for me. can you make it according to my DATA TYPE ?
thanks..i am waiting....

Hello Shaun,
The function wb_rt_conversions.from_date is (at least in OWB10.2) overloaded and can with input-types as
date, timestamp_unconstrained, timestamp_tz_unconstrained, timestamp_ltz_unconstrained or varchar2.
If it doesn't work with varchar2 I would try Date:
For example: to_date('2010-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD')

Date Format for the input Variable

Hi all,
I got an issue with Date format we enter in the input variable screen for the BEx Analyzer.
We have given a format of MM/DD/YYYY. But when the users accessed the report, it is not taking the format of the variable i.e MM/DD/YYYY but it is taking the format of the users system.
If the user's system format is DD/MM/YYYY, it is accepting the input inthe same format only.
Why this strange behaviour?
My questions are
Is the input for BEx system specific? or variable specific?
Rgrds
Kumar

Hi,
I think it is user specific... you can maintain the date format for user ....
Go to SU01 transaction or.. Go to SYSTEM -> User Profile -> Own data
Here in defaults tab you can see the date formet for user...
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

Inputing dates in non-US date format

I know this is an old issue, but I could not find it resolved in the discussions and threads had been closed:
I cannot figure out how to input dates using my preferred format mm/dd/yy (or dd.mm.yy, or even dd.mm.yyyy) despite having set it up that way in system preferences>international (using Irish, UK, or whatever settings).
This occurs in Address Book where I try to input Birthdays (which I want included in iCal). It appears to want to make everything the current year and month (if dd>12 which makes it confused about dd or mm) or (if dd>=12) it assumes you are entering mm/dd/yy (contrary to my settings in System Preferences). The only way I have found around this problem is to write birthdays out in "long hand" (e.g. 31 May 1935)... Oddly if you give it something like 3/2/12 it will make it 2 March 2012 (rather than 3 February 1912 as intended). Which would be unlikely to say the least...
Definitely not the kind of problem I would expect from MacOS!
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

To customize the date (and any other format) to your particular preference, go to System Preferences; select International; select Formats. In the Dates section, select Customize. A pane will appear with Show:. From here you can select Short, Medium, Long or Full.
As an example, I use Medium for my Mail using the dd mm yy format. To make this display, you simply move (rearrange) each of the elements of the day/month/format to your particular choice. You can insert any divider between each of these elements (I use a space).
If you prefer the truncated Julian Date (yyD) format (for specific message/signals processing), simply delete the existing elements from the format line, and drag and drop a date element from the table below the element format line. For Julian Date, I selected Year and then Day of Year (without a space). I then modified the Year format by clicking on the Year element, which then displays a white chevron to right of the numeral. Click on the white chevron and several format options are available. Click your prefered option. Repeat the same process for Day of Year element.
When you are satisfied, click OK.

We are trying to create a BIP Data Model based on an Answer, but after selecting report, it hangs when I try to Apply to create a query based on Oracle BI. When I try to open the query in aswers, going to results tab I'm getting this error (OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2):

I suppose that BIP data model is not able to create it because of this error. But this answer is working fine inside dashboards, etc. It only does not work when editing it.

Any ideas?

How to change date format of user input prompt in infoview.

Any ideas.

Not sure id this helps...
I was up against a similar issue of placing the user input dates, Starting & Ending, into one cell for a reference on each report header. After a few hours of diligence, I came up with a working model that finally worked:
u_StartDateAsTXT=FormatDate(ToDate(UserResponse("Enter Date/Time Shipped (Start):");"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");"MM/dd/yyyy")
and
u_EndDateAsTXT=FormatDate(ToDate(UserResponse("Enter Date/Time Shipped (END):");"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");"MM/dd/yyyy")
The report header has the following function:
=u_StartDateAsTXT + u201C u2013 u201C + u_EndDateAsTXT

Date Format in Input Date Component

Hi,
I am using JDev 11.1.1.3.0. I have few Input Date component in the form. I need to display the selected date in upper case. Basically the month in upper case.
Currently it displays '01-Aug-2012'. I need it to be displayed as '01-AUG-2012'.
Tried adding format but still the month is displayed in initial caps. Really appreciate if someone can help me in fixing this issue.
Thanks
SR

There is no format to archive this. Check http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html which give you all format patterns used by the inptutDate component.
I have not tried this, but you should be able to use a converter, which you have to write yourself, to make the month uppercase.
Writing your own converter is easy, for a tutorial check http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/5/tutorial/doc/bnaus.html
