Is it possible to change date format in Web Dynpro?

Hi,
I have an input field that is mapped to a context data type of date.  It is showing me the data in the format of "mm/dd/yyyy".
Is it possible for me to change this format to "dd/mm/yyyy"?
I know it is possible to alter the Regional Setting in a Windows box.  What about Solaris box?  Are there specific properties within Web Dynpro that I could set so that I do not have to remember to change it everytime.  I have a few environments that I need to deploy to, so it makes sense for me to set the format into Web Dynpro.

Hi Stefan,
Could you be more elaborate?  What happens after that?  How do I populate data from the database to this new type?
Currently, I can't find the Base Type of "date" in the lookup box.  Do you mean the Built-In Type?
Thanx.

  • Possible to change date format when importing files into Aperture 3

    Just wondering if it is possible to change the format of the date from YYYY-MM-DD to YYYYMMDD when you rename files as they are imported into Aperture 3? I typically rename my files and insert my initials, date the photo was taken, sequence number, camera used and original file name. When I do this in Aperture 3, the date format used includes dashes. I would like to have the file renamed without the dashes in the date. Is this possible?

    You should be able to edit the format in the import presets. I have done this for folder stucture of imports, I believe you can do the same for the file renaming. At the bottom of the drop down box for file naming at improt should be an edit option which brings up the import naming presets, select the "YYYY-MM-DD" and remove the dashes.

  • Is it possible to change the background of Web Dynpro Views in MDE apps ?

    Hi Team,
    Is it possible to change the Background color of Web Dynpro Views in Mobile Device applications ?
    I have been able to change the cellBackgroundDesign from Transparent o fill1 etc and this change is visible in the desktop application.
    But whenever; I am running this application in Mobile Device, the color change is not visible.
    Also, there is an earlier post given by me for changing the color of rows in Table UI in SAP SRS Mobile Device Enabled.

    Our Mobile Devices are:

    The OS is: Windows 2003
    and the Browser is: Pocket Browser.
    Please give me in any suggestion which I can implement to see the background color change w.r.t, Mobile Devices.

  • Changing date format in locale

    Hi Experts,
    Date, currency format and so on depends on locale. If locale changes formats change as well.
    But is possible to change these formats in locale itself (change, for example, short date format in locale en_US to dd/mm/yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy)?
    Best Regards
    Price Young

    Hi Price
    The date format is user dependent. It may vary from user to user depending upon the settings applied at the time of user creation. This can however be changed from transaction SU01 ( defaults tab).
    Also please check the following link:

  • Change date format in reporting (query)

    I need to change date format from dd.mm.yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy in reporting (query)

    Hi Suresh,
    Go to transaction su01d in that enter your user.
    Now go to defaults and change the date format.
    Ya but this format will be user specific, so if you want everyone to see that format you have to change it for all.

  • How to change Data Format

    I'm using Sql Developer vers. 1.1.2. for Oracle 8.1.7 and I can't change Data Format. Even if first I run "alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD/MM/YYYY';" and after I run "select data_field from table;" in the SQL Worksheet, it goes on reporting the field in format "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS". It seems to me as if the "alter session" doesn't work.
    I've got a problem with decimal separator too. I mean when I run "select salary_field from table;" and the item is for example 2300,32 the report gets null column even if I've set Decimal Separator to "," from Tools>NSL Parameters>Decimal Separator.
    I need help.
    Thanks in advance
    Marco

    Marco,
    It isn't really a great help, as you need to access 8.1.7, but the current version doesn't have this problem - it uses the current NLS_DATE_FORMAT setting to format the date, regardless of the NLS preferences.
    I have vague memories (1.1.2 has largely faded from my memory) that when they first introduced the NLS preferences that they took precedence over the DB NLS settings (ie date formatted in SQL Developer based on NLS preferences).
    On the decimal separator, I have other vague memories of problems if you didn't set both the Decimal and Group separator, although a quick search on the forum didn't highlight something that seemed the same as your problem. After logging on (ie with the NLS preferences as the DB NLS settings), what do you get if you the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS parameter in the NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS view? This should have two characters - the first one being the decimal separator and the second being the group separator.

  • How to change date format in OBIEE

    Hello
    I have a need to change the date column to a varchar column in OBIEE..
    The date column stores data in the format of 'YYYY/MM/DD', I need to change this to a varchar column with this format 'YYYYMM'..
    Since I am pointing directly at the transactional database, I can't make any changes at the database level, so I will have to do it in OBIEE layer, any ideas how it could be done?
    Many thanks in advance!
