Leading zeros for Month and Day in filename.

Hello,
I am in Jdev 10.1.3.3.0
One of my requirement is to have a file name concatenated with current month and day (example: <filename><02><23>).
Used the xpath as following and returns an output as *'filename223'*:
concat('filename',xp20:month-from-dateTime(ora:getCurrentDate()),xp20:day-from-dateTime(ora:getCurrentDate()),'.txt')
what changes I need to make in my Xpath to get the file name as *'filename0223'*
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Rakesh

I was googling on the date format used in BPEL to achieve various format types. Specially I was searching for my requirement : <filename><current month with leading zeros if month is single digit><current day with leading zeros if day is single digit>(ie. if the month is february and day is 23rd, then my filename should be *<filename><02><23>*).
I found a link which helped solving my problem :
http://plane.javaeye.com/blog/161316
I changed my Xpath to :
concat('filename',xp20:format-dateTime(ora:getCurrentDate(),'[M01][D01]'),'.txt')
And I got my expected result : *'filename0223.txt'*

Acrobat Pro XI transposes numbers for month and day in dates when saving optimized pdf to Excel spreadsheet.

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and Excel 14.3.8 on a mac.
Saved PDF as "optimized PDF" then "save as other" > spreadsheet > Microsoft Excel Workbook.
Problem: numbers in some random dates are transposed so that month and day are reversed. No particular pattern to these errors. Only fix we've found is to go through and manually check and correct the date errors - there are hundreds of these errors in the document so this is not a good solution.
(Note: Excel columns with dates are specified as "date" fields. All dates are formatted as m/d/yy)
Any ideas what's causing this problem problem and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Modem dials leading zero for IrDa and BT connectio...

hi,
i have a 6233 which i am trying to use as a modem via bluetooth and/or InfraRed. the connections works fine from both my laptop and PDA, i have set *99# (o2 ireland GPRS) as the dial number, no dialing rules are set and i've tried this with several devices and they are all dialing exactly *99#. however the phone appears to add a leading zero to the number, so it tries to dial a data connection to 0*99# which is not a valid number and the phone gives an 'out of service' dial tone.
i've tried disabling all call diverts and call waiting on the phone but it hasn't changed anything. the PDA has all options for call waiting disabled.
can anyone explain why this happens and how to work around it? it means my phone modem is useless.
thanks in advance

If you are then you need to ignore those settings and change the encapsulation mode to pppoe with username being [email protected] and password as anything you like if blank passwords arent allowed.

LEADING ZERO IN MONTH

Hi,
is there any possibility of adding leading zero for month column in query output without writing ABAP CODE.
SDay for March ,instead of 3 i need 03 in qury o/p.
Thanks,

Hi,
is it possible that u mean to eleminate the leading "zero" of a KF text variable?
If yes, u can do this with the following steps:
1. Go to query designer -> select your text variable
2. Edit variable -> replacement path
3. Section Offset settings-> edit offset start and offset lenght
I dont know how 0Month is displayed, but with these two u can define at which point u the offset starts and how many text digits u want to display.
For ex. 0FISCPER is displayed 0012008 normally, if u set offset start as 2 and offset lenght as 5 the result is 12008
Hope it helps

Date separate year, month and day

Hello everyone and thanks in advance, I'm new to this and the truth is not doing this.
Well, I have a PDF with several pages which I designed and has been asking me in a complete date in the format dd / mm / yy and subsequent pages he asks me the same date of birth but in 3 separate fields, day , month and year. I want you when you enter the date the first copy and separate day month and year in others. I tried this but I get
var array_datesol = datesol.split("/")
var year = parseInt(array_datesol[2]);
var month = parseInt(array_datesoll[1]);
var day = parseInt(array_datesol[0]);
this.getField('yearsol').value = year;
this.getField('monthsol').value = month;
this.getField('daysol').value = day;
where is the initial field datesol date and year, month and day where they have to be separately
thanks in advance

Are you getting any errors in the JavaScript debugging console?
You are using the syntax for the 'Custom JavaScript calculation' and this syntax can not be used in the 'simplified field notation. Also you can not use any JavaScript properties, objects, functions, control statments.
When run in the console, I find you have a misspelling of the variable name 'datesol'. I also do not see where you are initializing the value for 'datesol'.
var datesol = event.valueAsString; // get value of this field
var array_datesol = datesol.split("/") ; // make into an array
this.getField('yearsol').value =array_datesol[2]; // get element year
this.getField('monthsol').value = array_datesol[1]; // get month element - fixed variable name
this.getField('daysol').value = array_datesol[0]; // get date element
I would use one of the following so the other fields are only updated when a date has been entered and the leading zeros are displayed:
this.getField('yearsol').value = '';
this.getField('monthsol').value = '';
this.getField('daysol').value = '';
if(event.value != '') {
// get parts of date and print with leading zeros
var datesol = event.value; // get value of this field
var array_datesol = datesol.split('/') ; // make into an array
this.getField('yearsol').value = util.printf('%,304.0f', array_datesol[2]); // get element year
this.getField('monthsol').value = util.printf('%,302.0f', array_datesol[1]); // get month element - fixed variable name
this.getField('daysol').value = util.printf('%,302.0f', array_datesol[0]); // get date element
// or
this.getField('yearsol').value = '';
this.getField('monthsol').value = '';
this.getField('daysol').value = '';
if (event.value != '') {
// get date parts and print with leading zeros
var oDatesol = util.scand('dd/mm/yyyy', event.value); // get date object
this.getField('yearsol').value = util.printf('%,302.0f',oDatesol.getFullYear()); // get element year
this.getField('monthsol').value = util.printf('%,302.0f', oDatesol.getMonth() + 1); // get month element - fixed variable name
this.getField('daysol').value = util.printf('%,302.0f', oDatesol.getDate()); // get date element
// or
this.getField('yearsol').value = '';
this.getField('monthsol').value = '';
this.getField('daysol').value = '';
if(event.vaue != '') {
// get parts of date and format
var oDatesol = util.scand('dd/mm/yyyy', event.value); // get date object
this.getField('yearsol').value = util.printd('yyyy', oDatesol); // get element year
this.getField('monthsol').value = util.printd('mm', oDatesol); // get month element - fixed variable name
this.getField('daysol').value = util.printd('dd', oDatesol); // get date element
If you are going to fill other field, you will need to use the '.valueAsStriing' property or '.toString()' method to retain the leading zeros.

Months and days between dates

What is the formula to find the months and days between dates

Tricky... The first problem is the intended result. Months have a varying number of days in them, days and weeks have set values. For example the difference between 1st July and 1st September is 2 months but this does not give an accurate count of the number of days (61).
It would be better to calculate the number of days difference and forget the months.
You would need a lookup table showing a numeric value for each date that would show each date with a day value from a starting point. If your earliest date is 01/01/2000 then that would be day zero. Then using the lookup table calculate the day value for your beginning and end dates. Subtract one from the other to get the number of days.
If all your dates are from this year:
You can create your own Cell Format (call it day of the year) Select the Type: Date & Time
drag the icon for Day of Year into the box and delete the others.
Convert your dates to this new Format, subtract one value from the other to get the number of days difference.

Convert Fiscal Period to Month and day in HR/FI

HI Experts,
i am dealing now with an issue in HR for actual and plan Data.
I have two cubes one for actual and one for plan. The actual cube is just using the satndard BI extractor and the plan cube is loaded per flatfile with fiscal/year Period.
We are working with Fiscal/year period.
Now we want to create a report where we can see both the result in Month and day.
I would like to know how to implement it to get the correct result.
Could you please help me on that way?
Thank you.

How to set filter criteria for month and year using in timestamp input field?

Hi,
I am using jdev 11.1.2.3,
I have one problem with Report generation,,,,,,I have one report table which is in the form of VO(query based) and i want to search this table as month and year basis
but in this table(query) that field having timestamp based value.. how to search with month name and year only.. Here i am using totally query base VO's for generating
reports........ Can any one guide me.
Thank You.

You can use a inputdate, which allows you to selecte a moth, year and a day. Once the selection is made you convert it to only allow moth and date like
        <af:inputDate label="Label 1" id="id1" autoSubmit="true" value="#{bindings.myMonthYear1.inputValue}">
          <f:convertDateTime pattern="MM/yyyy"/>
        </af:inputDate>
        <af:outputText value="Selected #{bindings.myMonthYear1.inputValue}" id="ot1" partialTriggers="id1"/>
then you have a string holding month and year only. This value you split into two variables you or pass it as a whole parameter to the query and split it there.
Another way is to add two static lovs one for month and one for year and use them to get to the filter values.

FM to get the number of days in Year,month and days by giving number of day

Hi ALL,
This is quit differnt.
I need to give input the 'start date' and the 'number of days' and get the total days from the start date in year,month and day format.
for example.
start date :01.01.2009
number of days as 32
then i should get
years:0
months :1
days :1
Pleas help me out.

hi Anusha,
first u pass the date and the days to the following fm you will get the result date....
data:date type sy-datum,
      r_date(10) type c.
date = sy-datum.
CALL FUNCTION 'CALCULATE_DATE'
EXPORTING
   DAYS              = '32'
   MONTHS            = '0'
   START_DATE        = date
IMPORTING
   RESULT_DATE       = r_date
write:/ r_date.
then you need to pass the result date and the date to the following fm to get the required output...
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_HK_DIFF_BT_2_DATES'
    EXPORTING
      date1                   = r_date

Remove Leading zeros for Material in Transformation

Hi Experts,
I'm using DTP first time. I don't have much exp on DTP & Transformations.
I'm creating infocube with some objects. I want to remove leading zeros for zmaterial.
In 3.x writen update routines as fallows:
data: zmat(18) type c.
zmat = COMM_STRUCTURE-/BIC/ZMAT.
shift zmat left deleting leading '0'.
result value of the routine
RESULT = zmat.
I'm confusing in Transfermation where to write this routines.
I'm writing in Transformation as fallows:
data: zmat(18) type c.
zmat = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/ZMAT.
shift zmat left deleting leading '0'.
RESULT = zmat.
But it's getting remove zero's.
Anybody suggest on this.
Siri

Dear Sir,
No confusion at all.
Just double click on the Target Infoobjct i,e Material object in Transformation, you will see a wizard popping up.
There you will see a option called "RULE TYPE" and the default value will be "Direct Assignment". In the same check box click on the drop down icon and select "Routine".
The moment you select the routine option, it will open up ABAP workspace where in you can write your routine and get the desired result.
Hope it helps.

Suppress leading zeros for ALV column

Hello,
I have an ALV with a column mapped to a context attribute of type NUMC and would like to suppress the leading zeros being displayed. My initial solution was to change the attribute to a char/string type and remove the zeros in my code, but then, the sort functionality no longer works correctly. Any ideas if the ALV can use a 'hidden' field to do the sorting for a certain column... that way, I can display the number as a char/string without the zeros and when the user sorts the column, the ALV will use the hidden NUMC type field.
Thanx for any directions...

Hi,
You can follow the following way which i implemnted for one of my application. Here i am setting this property for the context attrubute. May be this will work. But in ALV there is no separate method for this type of setting.
**This method is used to display the Leading zeros for the Lot Number in Step-1
DATA:
    node_do_not_change                  TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,

node_pstap = node_d0130_sapmf05a->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_pstap ).
node_info = node_pstap->get_node_info( ).

Delete leading zeros for material in mapping.

Hi,
How to delete leading zeros for material like 0000000128736 if so I am expecting 128736 only.
We need to consider if I get material number is like RPG2389 .
Thanks,
Vinay.

Hi,
If you will be getting alphanumeric codes, it would be best to use a UDF with a regex-expression.
UDF Type:
ContextType
imports:
java.util.regex; (if you are using PI 7.1 you must remove the semicolon)
arguments:
input1
Here's the code (courtesy of Sun Developer Network):
        Pattern p = Pattern.compile("[^a-zA-Z]");
        Matcher m = p.matcher(input1[0]);
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        boolean output = m.find();
        while(output) {
            m.appendReplacement(sb, "");
            output = m.find();
        m.appendTail(sb);
result.addValue(input1[1]);
Now to solve the leading zeroes, just add formatNumber: 0 after the UDF and it will work.
Hope this helps,

Get Months and Days -- Problem with months_between

Hi,
For a report, I need to convert days as months and days for eg 370 days as 12 months 5 days.
I tried below query
with t as (
select
maturity_date - value_date tenor
from account_master)
select
trunc(mod(months_between(trunc(sysdate,'YYYY')+ tenor,trunc(sysdate,'YYYY')),30)) month,
(trunc(sysdate,'YYYY')+tenor)-add_months(trunc(sysdate,'YYYY'),trunc(months_between(trunc(sysdate,'YYYY')+ tenor,trunc(sysdate,'YYYY')))) "day"
from t
And i am getting output as
MONTH day
11 30
23 30
11 30
1 5
11 30
11 30
11 30
0 6
11 30
for Number of days
TENOR
365
730
365
36
365
365
365
6
365
As you can see for 365 days i am getting Months as 11 and days as 30
and for 730 days i am getting months as 23 and days as 30.
I want 365 days as 12 months and 0 days.
I think it is months_between function that is creating this problem.
Can anyone suggest another way of accomplishing this?
Thanks and Regards
Amit Trivedi

2008 is a leap year! so it's 366 days long. therefore, 365 days is really only 11 months and 30 days (if you start counting from Jan 01, which is what you are doing).
so the number of months and days between is dependent on the starting date (consider a range of 30 days starting on Jan 01, Feb 01 (leap year), Feb 01 (non-leap year) and Apr 01).
so:
with t as (
select maturity_date - value_date tenor, value_date d1 from account_master
select
trunc(months_between(d1+ tenor,d1)) months,
d1+tenor - add_months(d1,trunc(months_between(d1+ tenor,d1),30)) days
from t
or better yet:
select
trunc(months_between(maturity_date,value_date)) months,
maturity_date - add_months(value_date,trunc(months_between(maturity_date,value_Date))) days
from account_master

Subtract   two dates to get   months and days

          long daysRemaning=timeDiff/86400000;this is code I get the number of days between the issue date and todays date.now my client wants not just days but months and days , i need suggestions on how to get days and months between any two given dates

I have read that it is best to use java.util.Calendar for almost any time related issue.
With some switch statements and a for loop, I think the Calendar class could solve the problem.
