Where are you receiving the data from? If this is coming from a browser you can pick-up the locale from the httpservletrequest headers and if it is coming from an ordinary java client then the jre will have a default locale set. Once you have the locale then you can construct a DateFormat object and call parse(String s) to build a date. This relies on them using the ISO-spec'd formats but then again, why wouldn't they? ;-> If you've just got the data from an unknown source you've no chance of being certain but there are far more locales that use dd/mm than mm/dd, (sorry yanks).

Convert Date (MM/DD/YYYY) to (Month DD, YYYY)

Hi,
I am looking for a Function Module that converts MM/DD/YYYY to Month DD, YYYY format. For example, 07/27/2009 is to be converted to July 27, 2009. Is there any standard FM that works for this purpose? Please advice.
Appreciate Your Help.
Thanks,
Kannan.

How to convert Date in varchar(50) format MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM into YYYY-MM-DD format using MS SQLServer 2008 R2 ?

Hi,
I am getting the error "The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value."
when converting date in format Date in varchar(50) format MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM into YYYY-MM-DD format using MS SQLServer 2008 R2.
Please note that the date in column is Date(varchar(50), null).
I used the following syntax:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), Date, 102) AS Day
FROM dbo.[RCap_2G MM/Operator]
WHERE (CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), Date, 102) > { fn NOW() } - 1)

As noted above, either use ISDATE or TRY_CONVERT with the correct conversion style number:
-- SQL Server 2012 code
DECLARE @Date varchar(50) = '10/23/2006 10:20';
SELECT TRY_CONVERT(DATE, @Date, 101) AS Day
-- 2006-10-23

Report level:
Try this in the column formula-
Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'MM/DD/YYYY')

I want the organiser in Elements 13 to create folders with the format yyyy mm dd, not yyyy dd mm. How do I do that

Photoshop elements 13 organiser
I want to import the photos into folders by shot name in the following format: yyyy mm dd, NOT yyyy dd mm. This used to be possible.. I have nearly 100 folders organised already as yyyy mm dd (actually half are yyyy-mm-dd). How can I do this?
Thanks in advance for your help
Suzanne

I noted the old bug and its reference to version 10 of the organiser, I think.
I am running 64 bit Windows 7.
I had set the date format in the preferences as dd/mm/yyyy as that is how we format it in Australia. That is when the preferences for the format of subfolder creation came up as yyyy dd mm.
I then tried setting the date format in the preferences in the US format, that is, mm/dd/yyyy. This fixed the anomaly: the preferences for the format of subfolder creation came up as yyyy mm dd.
I don't understand the logic and I think this was something that was missed in the update.
So thanks for the suggestion but I think it is a little bug with a simple though slightly illogical workaround.
Should I report it to Adobe?

Change date format in ms excel 2013 form MM-DD-YYYY to DD-MM-YYYY

Dear sir
I have got a database from my client where the entire dates are in MM-DD-YYYY format. However my system runs in DD-MM-YYYY format(based on my company lines).
So i need to convert this MM-DD-YYYY to DD-MM-YYYY format
Please help
Thank you

If you want to change the format in excel ,Click 'Home' Tab in the Ribbon-> In 'number 'Group->Choose 'more number format'-> 'custom'->change the 'type' as "DD-MM-YYYY".
Or use the formula =TEXT(A1,"DD-MM-YYYY")
If you want to change the format when export it from SQL Server Database to excel.
Use
select Convert(VARCHAR(10),column name,105) as date from
database name

Could you please any one help me to change the date formate.
Regards,
Vijay.

Hi,
Things you must consider on formatting dates:
1. The first locale to be read is that marked on UME (language).
2. If that on would be blank, then will be read from the browser language.
3. If all those are blank, then, will be read from the locale of the JVM. But, you must be sure that change the locale of the JVM will affect all the formats of all applications that use it.

MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY in selection screen

hi experts,
i have problem with date format.in my sap system date format is mm/dd/yyyy.
when the user selects particular date in selection screen it was displaying the format mm/dd/yyyy.
but the user wants dd/mm/yyyy format.
please give me some idea.
Sorry as i have gone through so many postings .
But i didnt find any answer for this .
Moderators please excuse, because the problem is not resolved tillnow.

Hi Vinay,
Always remember one thing.
Date, Time, Currency and Quantity fields are always stored in data base without field
seperator/decimal and thousand seperator. So what ever way u give in selection screen internal format will remain same.
Date: YYYYMMDD
Time: HHMMSS
eg: Just declare a date field as select option. Enter some value and go to debug mode.
What u r seeing in this select option low/high value?
It will be in YYYYMMDD format correct?
But what it is displaying in screen is as per user setting.
Here is the solution for ur problem.
Ask the user to change his/her user setting to DD/MM/YYYY format.
I think this setting is not available. But they can try with DD.MM.YYYY.
U can try this with tcode SU3. User settings will be effective from next login.
eg: If u change ur setting now, it is valid from next logon. Try this urself and convey to the user about the same.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Converting date format MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY in ISA B2B App

Hi All,
We have implemented CRM ISA 5.0 (B2B) application. Is it possible to change the date format to DD/MM/YYYY in ISA B2B web application. Now currently it is showing MM/DD/YYYY in all the pages. We need to change this format to DD/MM/YYYY, where and which the date shows the current format of MM/DD/YYYY. Is there any way in XCM settings to change the date format to achieve this. Do we require custom coding ?
Kindly suggest us!!!
Thanks and Regards,

Hi ,
If the sol doesn't work with the system settings, do try passing the values in char format after concatenating appropriately adding "-".
This ll work.
      date = '02252010'. "mmddyyyy"format
      concatenate date+2(2) '-'
                  date+0(2) '-'
                  date+4(4) into var.
var-25-02-2010dd-mm-yyyy format.
pass the variable 'var' to the webshop/web application.

Displaying only mm/yyyy of dd/mm/yyyy in a query.

I have a date characteristic in my query, zstdate. Is it possible to display just the mm/yyyy and not dd/mm/yyyy? Say there is a value 01/01/2007 for this characteristic, I want to display only 01/2007 in my query result. Is this possible?

Hello Uday,
Its not duplicating the data. You are actually looking at the fiscal year period and not the date. If you don't really need the date & if you really want to see only fiscal year/period, then replace date char. with fiscal year/period char. If you still want the date and if you have an ODS in the data model, then date char. can be included in the ODS to look for the details.
I hope that helps.

Date format from mm/dd/yyyy to dd-mmm-yyyy

How to convert the date from 01/01/2006 to 01-Jan-2006??

Hi sravanthi,
1. we have to apply some logic for that,
   and use the standard FM
   'MONTH_NAMES_GET'
2. i have an independent FORM/PERFORM
   in which we give input as some date,
   and it returns date in format
   dd-mon-yyyy.
3. just copy paste in new program and run.
report abc.
DATA : mname(25) TYPE c.
PARAMETER : d TYPE sy-datum default sy-datum.
PERFORM getmonth USING d mname.
WRITE :/ mname.
FORM getmonth USING d mname.
DATA : month_names LIKE t247 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA : m(2) TYPE c.
m = d+4(2).
CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_NAMES_GET'
EXPORTING
LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU
IMPORTING
RETURN_CODE =
TABLES
month_names = month_names
EXCEPTIONS
month_names_not_found = 1
OTHERS = 2
READ TABLE month_names INDEX m.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    mname = month_names-ktx.
ENDIF.
concatenate d+6(2) '-' mname '-' d(4) into mname.
