Insert current date in ASP date/time field

I am trying to create an INSERT record in a database with a
field for the current date. I cannot fimd how to insert the date in
the field by using a default entry or SQL statement. How can I do
this using Dreamweaver for ASP pages? Thanks, Joe

For database server time, use GETDATE or CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in
your query.
For web server time, pass the value from Date() or Now().

Insert current date/time and username into form.

Apologies for newbie question.
I have a form based on table Customer, within the table I have username and modifiedDate columns. How can I populate these text fields with the current user and current date/time ?
Thanks.

Excellent, thanks for the fast response. I had this working and then tried in on a new form and now it fails to populate the desired fields.
I have created a process named "Insert date and username", Type P/SQL anonymous block. On Load - After Header, Once Per Page Visit.
select :APP_USER, to_char(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
INTO :P16_USERNAME, :P16_MODIFIEDDATE
from dual;
Sorry for the hand holding!

Insert current date/time problem in ViewObject

Hi!
I'm trying to setAttribute to a Date type field.
I have a method:
public String getCurrDateString() throws ParseException, java.sql.SQLException {
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat ("dd-MMM-yyyy hh:mm:ss aa");
Date currentTime_1 = new Date();
return formatter.format(currentTime_1);
All the time i call this method such as:
HistoryViewImpl histVO=getHistoryView();
Row r=histVO.createRow();
r.setAttribute("Entrydatetime",cp.getCurrDateString());
I get oracle.jbo.domain.DataCreationException: JBO-25009: Cannot create an object of type:oracle.jbo.domain.Date with value:19-Jun-2002 10:14:33 AM
the strange thing is, that Oracle recognizes this kind of format, because if I use different pattern such as "yyyy-MM-dd", which returns string "2002-06-19", r.setAttribute("Entrydatetime",cp.getCurrDateString()) method works fine and in Oracle table field we have inserted value 19-Jun-2002 12:00:00 PM. The problem is, that i don't need 12:00:00 PM as a time, i need current time.
What am i doing wrong? Or does it mean that oracle.jbo.domain.Date doesn't know format "dd-MMM-yyyy hh:mm:ss aa"?

If you have to pass in string, then establish a Formatter on the attribute with appropriate date format and then use the AttributeHints interface from the relevant AttributeDef object on the row to parse the input String into a valid parsed object that you can set into the row.
(See oracle.jbo.uicli.binding.JUCtrlValueBinding.setAttributeInRow() method for a complete usage - source in bc4j\src\bc4juisrc.zip)

date into a text field using ASP.NET C# page. When the page loads.
Or better still insert current date into my database when the
page is updated. using the insert Server behavier.
I would be very greatfull for any help.

To assign it to a text box you couls use the following in the
onload
function
textbox.Text = DateTime.Now.toString;

As of version 31, why is there still no Thunderbird option to insert current date and time in message that you are writing?

As of version 31, why is there still no Thunderbird option to QUICKLY insert current date and time in message that you are writing?
Literally have seen this very-much-needed -- and used -- option "promised" for three years now, and even if there's only one or two formats that could be used, at least the option is there.
It seems only way is to link a Macro and tool to Thunderbird and do it that way.

Where was it promised? A quick search of Bugzilla didn't find a functionality request bug report for it.
I assume you're aware that Mozilla stopped development about 2 years ago (just adds security/stability fixes and provides infrastructure) and all new features and bug fixes are now added by the community. They seem pretty tied up with bug fixes and reworking some hard to maintain components such as the MIME support.
Have you tried the Timestamp add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/timestamp/ ? The version at AMO doesn't support versions later than 2.0 so you'd need to do something like install the disable add-on compatibility checks add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/checkcompatibility/?src=ss, and ignore the warning message about Timestamp not being compatible. However, the author has a version at http://extensions.sanjer.nl/?page=tb_ts that supposedly supports up to Thunderbird 11.9.x so it should be "compatible by default as it supports version 5 or later and is not a binary add-on like Lightning or Enigmail.
"For Thunderbird use the context menu (right click popup) in the compose window, Ctrl+Shift+T or "Options | Insert timestamp" to inserts the date/time into a message"

Issue: format / "language" of current Date (in date/time field), javascript only

Hi,
I have 2 date fields in my form, which should display the date in differnt format. (yyyy.mm.dd / dd-mm-yyyy)
To get the current date I use java script only
Formular1.p1.date_YYYYmmDD::initialize - (JavaScript, client)
var date = new Date();
this.rawValue = date.toLocaleDateString();
My first problem is (red): I get date in English, but I want it in a different language. As it was set in form settings
My second issue is: how can I format a date/time-filed (not a text field) in javascript with a specific pattern on init-event?
It seems my code in init-event overrides the pattern configuration of the date/time-field
Here is my form, if anyone want to check it:
https://acrobat.com/#d=zeOMyj9MhBdYbVWk8S1pHw

Hi,
I think both problems are the same, when setting a date/time field using the rawValue the format always has to be yyyy-mm-dd, if you use any other format the value is just treated as text and displayed without formatting.
var date = new Date();
this.rawValue = util.printd("yyyy-mm-dd", date);
You can also set the formattedValue if you have a date in the correct format.
var date = new Date();
var currentLocale = xfa.resolveNode("#localeSet.#locale").name;
var dateFormat = "date("+currentLocale+"){DD MMM, YYYY}"
this.formattedValue = util.printd(dateFormat, date, true)
This code assumes the display pattern is date{DD MMM, YYYY}
The date format specification is in the XFA Spec http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/xml/index_arch.html

How to prevent an automatic fill in of the current date into a Date/Time Field

hi,
maybe i checked out a strange behaviour of the adobe designer. when i put a "normal" data/time field (with no data pattern, display pattern, etc.) on a form and then change (on the pdf preview tab) to the newly designed date field,i have to stay about 2 minutes on this field not filling it out.
after these minutes the current date is filled in automatically in the date/time field.
what can i do preventing that? any hints?
thanks in advance.

I don't have any info on timelines, all I can say is check back in future versions of Acrobat :(

Please help! Looking for script to insert current date on page.

I currently use a Dreamweaver Extension that lets you insert
current date and time on your web page.
The problem is, I don't know Javascript and cannot edit the
Javascript codes to "remove the time"
I only need the current date that will change every day.
Do you know where I can get this script, I goggled and got
several but I'm looking for something authentic.
Also is it possible to have your page validate when you use
Javascript embedded in your HTML?
Thanks everyone,
Patrick

JavaScript generates the date by using the clock on the
computer of each
visitor to your site. If a visitor's clock has the wrong
date, your site
will also display the wrong date.

I don't know what you mean by "authentic". Date generation in
JavaScript
is one of the most basic features of the language, so if it
works, it's
"authentic".
> Also is it possible to have your page validate when you

Yes, but you shouldn't embed JavaScript in XHTML.

So mr. Powers are there people that use Javascript Date in
their page?
Would you recommend it?
I could use PHP but I don't know PHP,
How do I come up with the string in this format, say,
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008 that will change to a new day
according to the server time and date.
Thanks so much for your help and I have two of your books! I
will be taking PHP classes in December.

How to get Client(browser) current date/time in BIP report

Hi,
I need to display report generated date in BIP report and this should be client(browser) current date/time. I tried the following things.
1. have used MS Word Native Date/time using Insert->Date/Time. And we have chosen the M/d/yyyy h:mm:ss am/pm format. but it is printing BIp server date/time, not client date/time.
2. <?xdofx:sysdate?>, <?xdoxslt:sysdate_as_xsdformat()?> and <?format-date:xdoxslt:sysdate_as_xsdformat();'SHORT_TIME'?> are giving GMT Date/Time, but we need client Date/Time.
3.<?xdoxslt:sysdate('DD-MON-YYYY HH12:mi:ss')?> is giving the system date/time of the machine where BIP server is installed.
Could you provide some help in this??
Thanks
Hari

Hello, Hari,
what would return something like this:
Execution date:
<?xdoxslt:current_date('ja-JP', 'Asia/Tokyo')?>
<?xdoxslt:current_time('ja-JP', 'Asia/Tokyo')?>
@Vetsrini,
for my opinion,
in the countries where time is switching (winter/summer) using the hard coded time zones in the format-date() cause a problem:
for example:
if we enter the date in date prompt in summer it will return PM_DT = 2010-07-20T00:00:00.000+04:00
in winter 2010-07-20T00:00:00.000+03:00, so,
using <?format-date:PM_DT;'DD.MM.YYYY';'GMT+3'?> return 2010-07-20 in winter and 2010-07-19 in summer.
regards,
Eldar A.

Automatically displaying date and time in a date/time field on form initialize

Good day all;
I am trying to have the current date and time automatically be generated in a “date/time” field when the form is opened.
I went through the forum and found an entry from Srini “ xfa.host.messageBox("" + Date());” . Of course this brought up a system message box with the date and time.
I then tried “DateTimeField1.rawValue = (“”+date())… This also gave me a system message box with the date and time…
Please let me know where I am going wrong
Chomp

Found the answer... And yes... in was in the "help" section... What can I say I was making it a lot more crazy than I needed to.
You can use a date/time field to automatically show the current date by using the Runtime Property option in the Value tab of the Object palette.
When using a current date field, the date updates to reflect the system’s current date each time a user opens the form.
1.
In the Library palette, click the Standard category and drag a Date/Time Field object onto the form design.
2.
In the Object palette, click the Value tab and select Calculated - Read Only from the Type list.
3.
Select the Runtime Property option.
4.
View the form in the Preview PDF tab.

How do I insert a 'date created' field into a template?

I know that you can insert date & time fields into templates and make them auto-update whenever I open the document, but I am wondering if I can make the date field be set to the date when I created the document and then stay that date even if I reopen the file?
In other words, is there a "Date Created" field?
Thanks in advance for any help given.
I am using Pages '09.

I believe the date will either update always or never, depending on how you set it's options. I don't believe you will find an option for Update Once and Never Again.
You will have to update the date upon creation and then set the option to not update. You can always find the creation date in the Document Inspector, Info tab, Show File info. You can also read this information in the Finder.

Date time field will not bind over into XML data file

am using the Current Date field in a form that is supposed to give me the current date & time. In the Object, Value, I am using a "calculated - Read Only" , with Run-time property of Date and Time. WHen I view this as a PDF, the current datae & time display on the form as well as when I view the body pages, the {current date/time} is displayed in the actual field of the form. My only problem is I want to bind this so I can export the data to an XML data file, to import to an Access Database. WHen I use these settings, I do not have a "binding" tab to use. WHen I change vaule to "calculation script), it then pops up the binding tab and let's me export the field to the XML data file, but the data in that field is not comming over (the date & time). The field comes into the database inport, but is blank. What am I doing wrong..?? Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

Well, I'm assuming that when you change it to a calculation script you see the date in the PDF and therefore have the script to set the value written properly. So, if you change the binding from None to Normal or an explicit binding the date will be exported in the data. If all of that is correct, then the most likely problem is the data format you are exporting is not a format that your database will accept.

How can I make the current date/time be sent when emailing as XML?

I'm creating a form for a customer to use for submitting print jobs. This customer will be emailing the XML form data, which will in turn be converted into a production order. I'd like to make the PDF form capture my customer's system time, so that I know when they filled out the form. I COULD just leave that up up the customer and use required current date and time fields, but that provides the ability for the customer to falsify that information.
Is there any good way to capture the current date/time in the XML data, so that the customer doesn't need to nor has the ability to?
Any suggestions would be great!

You can use the following methods getHours(),getMinutes(), and getSeconds() from the date object to obtain the values for hour,minute,and second.

Adobe LiveCycle Date/Time Field Scripting Question

I have a date/time field in Livecycle which the end user chooses a random date from. I need to populate a date 180 days from this date for an eligible to date/time field. I have tried various javascript and formcalc options with no success.

Try this site here for a reference: http://eslifeline.wordpress.com/2008/09/26/date-manipulation/
The following was the use case. A form has 2 TextFields Start_Date and End_date
User enters a certain date in the Start_Date text field for example 09/24/08 (MM/DD/YY)
The End_Date should add 90 days to the Start_date and populate the End_Date
The following script would do that
var current = Date2Num(Start_Date.rawValue, “MM/DD/YY”)
var future = current+90
var newDate = Num2Date(future,”MM/DD/YY”)
form1.#subform[0].End_Date.rawValue = newDate
Validating End Date is later than Start Date
var diff = Date2Num(EndingDate.rawValue, “YYYY-MM-DD”) – Date2Num(StartingDate.rawValue, “YYYY-MM-DD”)
if (diff > 0) then
xfa.host.messageBox(“The End date is later than start date”)
else
xfa.host.messageBox(“PLEASE CHECK….The End date is before the start date”)
endif
