Keep zero in date format

I've been searching and searching for this answer.
I have a Date field in a form on LiveCycle.
This is not a field that anyone enters the date, but it simply puts the current date in.
I would like it to keep the 0's in the format.  So if the date is 01/08/2014, I want it to read as this, not 1/8/14.
I'm using this value in an invoice field where I am concating two fields together and I want the 0's to stay.
Any help would be great.  Thanks!

Hi,
you need to define a display pattern for the date field, to get the desired formatting.
Add this display pattern to your field.
date{MM/DD/YYYY}

  • How to show date with format conforming to system date format ?

    Hi all,
    I write Java program running on Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
    I want to show date in a status bar with the format the same as that in system date format where the program resides, so when I change the date format through the regional setting, I expect that the date format in the status bar will adjust accordingly.
    But it seems that program fails to do so, the program keeps showing short date format MM/dd/yy. I've tried to use SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance() method, but the result is the same.
    Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Setya !!
    I have the same problem as you.. Did you find any solution for this?

  • Disk Utility - Format Time for 500GB (Zero Out Data)

    Hello.
    Is there one length of time for formatting a hard drive with one pass of Zero Out Data? For instance, does the length of time change depending if you format with zeros using USB2, FW400, FW800, or eSATA?
    *My Format Setup*
    LaCie Rugged 500GB All-Terrain (USB2 & FW400/800)
    FW800 Cable
    GUID Partition Table
    Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    Zero Out Data (One Pass)
    I'm formatting with a FW800 connection. Disk Utility has said it will take 1.5 hours for about 3.5 hours now. The blue bar has progressed even though the time remaining is incorrect. At this rate, it will take seven hours to format 500GB.
    I'm going to be formatting multiple 500GB and 1TB drives, and I'm wondering if the time I'm experiencing is normal. Therefore, it should take a day to format 1TB with one pass of zeros. Is this correct?
    Thank you for your help! =)

    It takes a long time to zero out data on a 500GB drive. The larger the drive, the longer it takes. I don't think the connection makes a difference, since each of your listed options are high speed. Never tried it on an external with USB 1.1, so can't give you any real time experience there. But it will take well over an hour to write zeros on every block of a 500GB drive.

  • How to keep date format as dd/mm/yyyy in Agentry independent of backend value format?

    I am using Agentry 6.0.38.1 android client and 6.0.32 plugin.
    I want to keep date format as dd/mm/yyyy in Agentry independent of backend value date format.
    How can I do it?
    Regards
    -Prit

    Jason/Sravanthi
    When I log in with 6.0.38.1 android client, I get date format in dd/mm/yyyy independent of device date format (I checked by changing device date format) and when I log in with 6.0.30.x android client, I get date format in mm/dd/yyyy independent of device date format for the same export to same connection.
    Don't know why this is happening.
    Sravanthi,
    The solution you suggested didnt work

  • How do I get Numbers to recognise my date formatting?

    I have my date format set in system preferences to YYYY MM DD.
    But Numbers seems to ignore this and only offers up its own list of possible formats, the best of which is MM DD.
    Also I wish time to be expressed as a 24hr clock eg 0745 for "Quarter to 8 AM". I can't find where this is set and unless I make the format "Text" it keeps taking the leading zero off.
    How do I overcome these?

    You can't overcome these unless you enter your dates and times as text, or are willing to enter your data in one cell but display it in another. That at least would allow you to perform date and time calculations on the 'data entry' cells, but display the results the way you like.
    For instance, to display a date as YYYY MM DD you might enter the date in cell B2 and put the year, month and day in cells C2,D2 and E2 with these formulas.
    C2=Year(B2)
    D2=IF(LEN(MONTH(B2))=1,"0"&MONTH(B2),MONTH(B2))
    E2=IF(LEN(DAY(B2))=1,"0"&DAY(B2),DAY(B2))
    The D2 and E2 formulas are lengthy in order to display a leading zero.
    If you need to display the date in a single cell, use this formula in cell F2 (or wherever):
    =C2&" "&D2&" "&E2
    If your date is entered in B3, display it with a leading zero with this formula in C3:
    =IF(LEN(B3)<5,"0"&LEFT(B3,1)&RIGHT(B3,2),LEFT(B3,2)&RIGHT(B3,2))
    This assumes the 'data entry' cell for the time value is formatted to as 24 hour time (24:00) without the seconds display (24:00:00).
    You can also send feedback to Apple asking for/suggesting or demanding these format options.
    Good luck,
    Terry

  • Disk Utility: Differences between "Zero Out Data" and "7-Pass Erase"?

    I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a significant difference between the "Zero Out Data" erase option in Disk Utility (specifically Disk Utility 10.5.5), and the "7-Pass Erase" and "35-Pass Erase" options in same software.
    Here's why I'm asking: I have a co-worker with an iMac G5 20" 1.8GHz with 160GB internal hard drive. As a result of the power supply overheating a week ago due to dust, some hard drive problems resulted. I'm trying to assess whether these are 'soft' formatting problems that can be recovered from, or 'hard' problems requiring replacement of the hard drive and/or power supply.
    Following the failure, I removed the dust and restored the iMac to servicable form. The power supply seems to be OK now. The next thing was to attempt to recover as much data as possible from the 160GB, as the last full backup was a week old. Carbon Copy Cloner, shell copy via 'sudo cp -p -R -v', Finder copy, and DiskWarrior recovery all met with problems. TechTool Pro identified a huge swatch of unreadable sectors during repeated surface scans. Unfortunately, these unreadable sectors were located midway in the OSX boot partition (an 80GB partition), and not in the other 80GB partition devoted to lower priority video data.
    When I was satisfied I had backed up the data to the best of my abilities, I next set out to reformat the drive and see if the bad sectors could be eliminated or remapped out of existence. I did a "Zero Out Data" erasure in Disk Utility (with no errors during the erase), but TechTool Pro showed the bad sectors persisted in equal strength at the same location. I next executed a sixteen hour "7-Pass Erase" (again no errors, and confirming that it takes about an hour per 10GB). The next day when I ran TechTool pro, all of the sector errors had disappeared. I'm a bit perplexed as to why the "7-Pass Erase" seems to have recovered the use of the drive. Is it possible that there are simply thousands of bad sectors now remapped that I'm not seeing? [If so, how do I check for this?] TechTool Pro has not reported any S.M.A.R.T. issues to date on the drive. What am I to make of that?
    There are some related threads I've checked into, but I'm not sure how to properly assess my situation based on this information:
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=232007>
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=138559>
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=118455>
    Since the iMac has three weeks left on it's one year warranty, and I've already moved the user to another machine temporarily, I'm thinking that the smart thing to so is to send it in to Apple to have them look at the power supply and hard drive. That way, when it returns, even if there is still a lingering hardware problem, at least it will be covered under warranty for another 90 days.
    Any thoughts?
    iMac G5 20" 1.8GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1.25GB RAM, 160GB hard disk, SuperDrive

    HI, Bret.
    The only differences between "Zero Out Data", "7-Pass Erase", and "35-Pass Erase" are the number of times a binary zero is written to every bit on the disk. "Zero Out Data" writes a binary zero once, whereas the 7- and 35-Pass options write a zero seven and 35 times, respectively.
    Technically, one pass with Zero Out Data should be sufficient to map bad sectors out of service, a process also known as sparing. If a bad sector is encountered, it is both marked as "in use" in the directory's allocation table and added to the directory's "bad blocks file."
    My understanding is that the Surface Scan of Tech Tool Pro should identify bad sectors every time it is run unless the bad sectors have been locked out by the drive controller of the ATA drive itself. This is because Surface Scan checks the entire surface of the disk.
    What may have happened is that running "Zero Out Data" spared the bad blocks from a directory standpoint, but did not result in the drive's controller locking out those sectors for reasons detailed in the "Surface Scan" section of the Tech Tool Pro manual. However, the 7-Pass Erase may have resulted in the drive's controller locking out the bad sectors and why Surface Scan did not pick them up after such.
    Given the problems you described, I concur with your plan to have Apple check the affected computer. You might also want to consider purchasing an AppleCare Protection Plan for that Mac: I recommend and buy these for all my Macs.
    For some additional information on bad sectors, see the "Bad Sectors" section of my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ.
    Good luck!

  • Security concern/ application concerns and procedures for zeroing all data

    Hi,
    I've looked through the posts and can't find the answers to my questions so here goes:
    I've had a MacBook Pro for about a year, and I may have to return it to my employer. In an effort to prepare the machine and make sure my information can't be accessed once it is returned I have read that the proper thing to do is zero all data (I have read the MAC how-to page on the process).
    I was told that zeroing all data will remove my files and access to trashed items after I give it back to my employer, but I have a few concerns:
    1. I have an external hard drive with more than enough room to transfer my files, but what exactly does everyone mean by "all my files"? Just my personal files in the various applications like iPhoto, iTunes, and even My Documents, or are there others as well?
    2. Although I have the DVD/CD that came with the machine, there were additional software applications installed by the administrator at my place of work (Office - Power Point etc). Do these things get removed when I zero data or will they still be there?
    3. Lastly, is it true that you should zero up to three times to make sure your data is inaccessible? I know it will take about 24 hours to do approx. 20 gb's....
    Thanks so much in advance,
    Goldilox

    I have an external hard drive with more than enough room to transfer my files, but what exactly does everyone mean by "all my files"?
    Well what do you mean by all your files? Usually all your things will be in your home folder, so as long as you have enough space to contain that, you'd be okay.
    Although I have the DVD/CD that came with the machine, there were additional software applications installed by the administrator at my place of work (Office - Power Point etc). Do these things get removed when I zero data or will they still be there?
    Zeroing data happens at the drive device level, so everything on that volume will be gone. It's akin to formatting.
    Lastly, is it true that you should zero up to three times to make sure your data is inaccessible? I know it will take about 24 hours to do approx. 20 gb's....
    It depends who you're worried the attacker is. For most people, zeroing a few times will be enough to prevent them ever retrieving the data. Very expensive specialised data recovery equipment can still recover data from a zeroed drive, though... so if you're afraid of the police, or the FBI, or the NSA, then you're better off physically shredding the hard drive.

  • Date format in ALV report

    Hi all,
    I want to change date format in ALV list that is displayed in wrong format.
    I use this piece of code:
    CALL METHOD r_alv_grid->set_table_for_first_display
        EXPORTING
          i_structure_name = 'ZSTANJEKOMISIONARA'
          is_layout        = gs_layout
        CHANGING
          it_outtab        = it_stanja
        EXCEPTIONS
          OTHERS           = 4.
    Problematic field of structure ZSTANJEKOMISIONARA is defined like this:
    VRIJEDI_DO     ZEVO_VRIJEDI_DO     DATS     8
    Now, date is displayed like this: 09.20.3009 insted it should be like this: 30.09.2009.
    How can I change this? Thanks.

    The data is internally stored in an external format. Go back to the program that filled this field, there is something missing there.
    Look at FM like
    - CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERN_FORMAT
    - CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_INPUT
    You only keep date in external format when filling a BDC, for most other input mode (BAPI and the like) data must be converted to internal format.

  • OAF changes Date Format

    Hi
    I need to store a date into a flexfield. We have enabled the Flexfield and there is NO value set attached to it.
    This attribute is already in the VO as a varchar, so we have just added a new column into the page as data type Date and link it to the flexfield column.
    In this page we have a table layout so the user can enter 10 rows before saving them. And this page it just used to punch data into a table, which means, once the user press apply the page saves and clears. The user can not query on that page.
    When entering the first row, we can open the Date picker and we can choose the date and then it populates the column as “DD-MON-YYYY”.
    The problem is:
    When we entering the second row after entering one column the pages changes the format of my date from the previous record to “YYYY-MM-DD”, then after entering any second column the pages clear the date from the previous row.
    Running the page from JDev it shows the following message before clears the flexfield:
    java.text.ParseException: 2011-01-28
    Note we have not extended the VO and not extended the controller.
    My questions are:
    1) Why the Self-Service is change the date format to YYYY-MM-DD even if the profile ICX: Date Format Mask (31-DEC-1999) and my preference is set to DD-MON-YYYY?
    2) How can I avoid this to happen? Is there any way to keep my date as DD-MON-YYYY?
    Thanks,
    Alex

  • Date format on report

    Hi Everyone!
    I have a date format that is in the footer of my report. The format is set with the following: fmDay Month DD RRRR HH:MI AM and this is what I want, but when it prints out I get the following: Monday September 24 2001 11:0 AM . I would think I should get Monday September 24 2001 11:00 AM . I need the other part of the minute to show up. Now, it does show up if I have Monday September 24 2001 11:15 AM. I really need for the whole date format to show up. If I change the format to mm/dd/rrrr HH:MI AM then I don't get the day which I really need to show up in the footer.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    ~Vannette ([email protected])

    Please change your current date format [to]
    fmDay Month DD RRRR fmHH:MI AM
    Neeraj Vannette -
    To explicate, recall that FM is a toggle. Your first
    FM set the format to suppress all blanks and leading
    zeroes, so 11:01 became 11:1. The added FM sets back
    to normal mode, so everything after the first FM is
    zero/blank suppressed, after the second FM is not.

  • SSAS Cube parameter date format change

    Hi Experts,
    I am new to SSRS report creation. I have a parameter which is fetching date from cube. The date format from cube is YYYY-MM-DD.
    I want expression to change the date format to DD/MM/YYYY.
    I have used this expression - =Format(CDATE(Parameters!DimPromoUBUBStartDate.Value),"dd/MM/yyyy")
    but it is not working and getting the following error,
    "unable to cast object of type 'System.object[]' to type 'system Iconvertible'
    Please give your suggestions
    Thanks in Advance,
    Rajan

    Hi Rajan,
    According to your description, when you convert the "YYYY-MM-DD" formatted data from the parameter and change the format, it throw the error above. Right?
    In this scenario, the reason why you get this error because you set allow multiple values in that parameter. When we allow multiple values in a parameter, all select values will be put into a array when processing even you only select one value. And
    the CDate() function can't convert the object[]. So please unselect the allow multiple values in parameter. If you want to keep multiple values selection, you can only convert one element from the array. For example: CDate(Parameter!XXXX.Value(0))
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best Regards,

    Hi all, in me webdynpro application I have taken Date type for the Input Field.
    At date select it is displaying in the format
      *2/14/2009 i.e. mm/dd/yyyy*
    And when I am saving date in the sql database then the date format changes to..
    2009-02-14 i.e..yyyy/mm/dd.
    But using the Date format method I have changed the format as per the need to push date in the SQL database table...
    In the table SQL the date attribute is in form i.e.    02/14/2009 as like from the date select from the date Input Fieldu2026But the problem is that database is not being able to display in that Input field again.
    I have use the coding both at Insertion and selection of the database i.e..
    Date Sdate, Edate;
    Sdate     =   Date.valueOf (rs.getString ("Sdate"));
    Edate     =   Date.valueOf (rs.getString ("Edate"));
    SimpleDateFormat date Formatter = new SimpleDateFormat ("MM/dd/yyyy");
    Sdate = wdContext.currentProjectElement ().getEdate ();
    Edate = wdContext.currentProjectElement ().getEdate ();
      String Sd = dateFormatter.format (Sdate);
      String Ed = dateFormatter.format (Edate);
      Date Sdd =Date.valueOf (Sd);
      Date Edd =Date.valueOf (Ed);
    But at selection of the database the error for the date format isu2026.
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
    If somebody knows how to resolve this ,plz let me know

    for displaying the value only, I think, you are converting to string.
    sol1:
    1. Create a simple type in dictionary: under Dictionary -> Local Dictionary -> Simple Types
    2. go to Definition tab: Change Built-in Type as Date
    3. go to Representation tab: specify format e.g.: MM/dd/yyyy
    4. go to Context and change the date context attribute to the created type.
    sol2:
    please try to minimize the casting between Date and String.
    I believe in database date is stored as Date type itself. My suggestion will be for displaying keep a separate attribute and set it on each db call.
    below code is converting from Date to String.
    Date Sdate, Edate;
    Sdate = rs.getDate ("Sdate");
    Edate = rs.getDate ("Edate");
    SimpleDateFormat date Formatter = new SimpleDateFormat ("MM/dd/yyyy");
    String Sd = dateFormatter.format (Sdate);
    String Ed = dateFormatter.format (Edate);

  • Download to excel using GUI_DOWNLOAD : Date format

    Hi Gurus,
    I am downloading the data from an internal table to excel file using FM gui_download. The date field in my internal table is in the format MM-DD-YYYY (stored as Char 10 field). But when it downloads to excel, the date format changes to MM/DD/YYYY. I want to keep original format of MM-DD-YYYY in excel.
    Please help, sure points for helpful answers.
    should i use FM gui_download only, or is there some Other useful FM.

  • Is my hard drive dead (zeroing out data)?

    I tried installing Snow Leopard to no avail (it was progressing, but it was at ~70 percent or so after like 8 hours, so obviously something is wrong). So I put the SL disk back in and decided to format the drive and zero out the data. It's saying "Writing zeros to disk. Estimated time: 4 days, 16 hrs" This is an extremely long time for a 160GB hard drive! I don't hear the hard drive seeking or writing or anything. The progress bar doesn't seem to be moving (although I wouldn't expect to see progress on a 4 day estimated time).
    Does anyone know how to fix this, or am I going to have to end up taking this iMac in to get it's drive replaced?

    Thanks for the reply.
    I wasn't having any obvious problems with the hard drive before hand, except sometimes while downloading files and trying to play a movie off of the hard drive, the movie would lag. I don't know if that really means anything though.
    I've already tried to partition the drive before. The partition went through, but it didn't seem to help the zero out data part.
    Maybe this will help, from the installer log:

  • Date format in Maintain capacity of iSupplier portal

    Hi,
    In Maintain capacity under planning tab of isupplier portal page, when we select a row and click on Maintain capacity,we get a detail page.In that page we r asked to specify the capacity/day for the given date range.This date field doesnot support the format dd-mon-yy/dd-mm-yy but takes date for eg 3-jul-02 but not 03-jul-02(or) 30-jul-02.
    kindly help.

    The date format is calculated using country and language settings.
    Check SAP Notes 947081 and 1164528 which deal with this topic.
    If you use an R/3 based store (UME User Management Engine) in the backend system to keep your user data please ensure that you have not only maintained the language setting but also the country setting. Both in combination determine the NetWeaver Web Dynpro locale and in consequence the calendar date format that is used, e.g. DD/MM/YYYY for Australian English and MM/DD/YYYY for USA English.
    Thanks,
    Shanti
