Compare two dates in a report

Hi,
I would like to compare two dates on a report.
I would like to compare the opportunity created date and the opportunity modified date. I can't use this formula CASE WHEN Opportunity."Last Modified" = Opportunity."Created Date" then 1 else 0
I think I have to use TIMESTAMPDIFF but I don't know which interval I have to put to analyze the entire date in this format 31/12/1999 16:49:08
Thanks a lot for your help
Regards,

Hi !
It depends on the interval you need to compare these dates. If you want to know the number of days between these dates, you'll have to use SQL_TSI_DAY as interval. If it's minutes, you'll need SQL_TSI_MINUTE...
Here are the possible intervals :
*SQL_TSI_SECOND, SQL_TSI_MINUTE, SQL_TSI_HOUR, SQL_TSI_DAY, SQL_TSI_WEEK, SQL_TSI_MONTH, SQL_TSI_QUARTER, or
SQL_TSI_YEAR*
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

Compare two dates in different format.

Hi
I want to compare two dates....one of which is in the timeStamp format ("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")
and the other is in java.util.Date i.e Tue Oct 11 10:22:47 GMT+05:30 2005
Do I have to tokenise and then compare them.Is there any better approach?
I want to find out which is greater/smaller one.
Pls help.
Regards,
Sandip.

I would convert both to Date and compare them. To convert String to Date check java.text.SimpleDateFormat and its parse(...) method.

Comparing two data records of same IDOC

Hi,
In PI, we need to compare two data records of same IDOC to figure out if what type change occurred. For example, BENFIT3 IDOC contains data records tilted "E1BEN04". When there are multiple "E1BEN04" data records, then we need to compare the data inside them to see whether name, or data of birth or SSN is changed.
Has anybody came across this before. Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks
-Teja

If it is very few fields then you could use graphical mapping to determine the changes.

Comparing two dates+times [bash]

To compare two dates+times* in bash I have always used date +%s and compared the resulting strings. Is there a better way to do it? Thanks.
* As in "is date+time Y after date+time X?"

Years ago I wrote a bash script to build a thumbnail gallery webpage for a local directory structure of torrents. For each torrent, it created the thumbnail of an image with the same name, scraped torrents to get seeders/leechers, parsed a text file of urls and added links below the image with special favicons for commonly linked sites.
That was a hassle, and I have been afraid to look at the script since I stopped using it. But the page it produced was pretty sweet.
Most of the scripts I write are a bit more down-to-earth than that though.

Comparing two dates and adding days to date

Hi,
I want to compare two dates(like 2006/10/21 and 2006/11/2),how can i compare these two dates,like which is greater.And if to the second date,i want to add some number of days like 10 days,how can i add so that the date becomes 2006/11/12).
Please reply soon.Thanks

No,all other queries are different,as they have the
date in this format
'2006-03-06 " but i have the date in this format
"2006-03-06 10:26:46.0",
i.e the time is also assciated with it.
If I have only the date(in string format or date
date format 2000/12/1),then I can easily do it,but
I have the time also.If I have the date only,then I
can split the date into three strings,and after
converting into integer I can pass it to the
constructor,but what about the time?SimpleDateFormat can parse "2006-03-06 10:26:46.0" date too:
           SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.SS");
           Date date = dateFormat.parse("2006-03-06 10:26:46.0");
           System.out.println("date = " +date);

To compare two pdfs using version 8

Hi,
Can somebody please help me in how to compare two pdfs using acrobat reader ver 8 or any other othe tool which can be used for this. I know acrobat reader 9.0 can do that but i don't want to go for it.
Thanks in advance
Shruti

There is no product called Acrobat Reader any more.
There is the free product Adobe Reader. This cannot compare documents,
in any version.
There is the commercial product Acrobat. This comes in versions
Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Professional. Acrobat Professional can
compare documents, perhaps Acrobat Standard too. This is true in
version 8 and version 9.

Compare two dates with NULL in one

I am trying to do the following with a simple SQL. Compare two dates and get the latest one, but the greatest() function always returns NULL if NULL is present. So how can I do it ?
Date1 Date2 Desired Result
Null 01-Dec-09 01-Dec-09
01-May-09 01-Mar-09 01-May-09
01-May-09 NULL 01-May-09
01-May-09 01-Nov-09 01-Nov-09
NULL NULL NULL
Any suggestion ? Thanks

Hi,
Try this,
create table test1
fdate date,
tdate date
insert into test1 values (null,'25-jan-2010');
select greatest(nvl(fdate,tdate),nvl(tdate,fdate)) greatest from test1;
Thanks&Regards,

Comparing two dates in a report

Hello,
I am attempting to compare two dates in a report in order to format a column. My code for that portion of the report is as follows:
CASE
   WHEN TO_DATE(DATE_DUE,'DD-MON-YYYY') -
        TO_DATE(sysdate,'DD-MON-YYYY') <= 5 THEN
          '<span class="due">'||DATE_DUE||'</span>'
   ELSE
      DATE_DUE
END AS DATE_DUE,I'm getting the error message ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected CHAR got DATE.
I've been trying to fix the condition to get rid of the error with no success.
Thanks
-Brian

One thing I just noticed that may or may not be the problem is that your case statement is returning two different datatypes depending on the condition. In one part, it is returning a character string of the span tags concatenated with the due_date (which in and of itself are incompatible datatypes) and the second part is returning just a date.
Again, not sure if the SQL engine will do automatic conversions for you, but this seems to jive with your "char vs. date" error.

How to open acrobat in java and compare two files using javacode

I am absolutely new to use acrobat software in Java. I want to open two pdf files at a time and then compare the differences between them thru java program .
i am not sure how to do it. iam trying many ways without success.
I used jre and could open open files using runtime method , but couldn't do comaparision. i..e could't access tools menu (alt+t) Compare two files and <enter>. help in java will be appreciated.
Pls guide me the steps to use the acrobat library. At http://partners.adobe.com/asn/acrobat i found supporting vb and vc only.
Any help or links are greatly appreciated.

iText is an open source PDF library, reads a PDF one page at a time. You could check it out. I've used it for writing/splitting/concatenating PDFs, but not comparing files

bajjurireddy, ignore Mobiquity's post. It contains no useful information and will only serve to confuse and frustrate you.

Also make sure that the two date objects are in the same date format..

          SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(dateFormat);
          sdf.setLenient(false); // this is required else it will convert
          String dateString = sdf.format(d);
