Need help in formatting the Date - Date does not

Your syntax is wrong - look at the post above where this syntax is given:
to_char (add_months(r.formdate,12), 'MM/DD/YYYY') "formdate2"Look at the formula from a logical perspective - "inside out" to read what is happening -
take formdate, add 12 months
add_months(r.formdate, 12)then apply the to_char format mask - basic syntax
to_char(date, 'MM/DD/YYYY')Compare to your syntax:
to_char(add_months(r.formdate, 'MM/DD/YYYY'),12) "formdate2"You will see your format string inside the call to add_months, and your 12 inside the call to to_char.
Good luck!

I need help highlighting an expiration date on my Numbers '09 spreadsheet. I want the text/fill of a cell to change color when the expiration date of an item is within 180 days of the current date.

I need help highlighting cells on my Numbers '09 spreadsheet. I want the cell text/fill to change color when the date is 180 days or less from the current date. I already have a cell with the current date in it. I also know how to change the fill/text colors. All the cells have been formatted to show date only. I am having trouble with the formula. I can get to the Conditional Formatting menu and select "With Dates" but after that I am lost. Can anyone help?
Thank you for any assistance.

Need help in formating a form dealing with negative currency

Need Help!!!
Creating forms in Adobe acrobat Pro I could format a number cell to calculate additions/subtractions of currency. If the result was negative I could get the cell to show the negative result in red text and show parentheses around them. How can I do that in LiveCycle?
If i have to use formcalc - what would i type in?

In LiveCycle can be done using the Numeric Field object and some formcalc script.
Use the "Numeric Field" from the Object Library. For the Field patterns (Select the placed numeric field, On object Window Object -> Field) use "num.currency{}" to show the currency(Ex: $) and "parentheses" if its negative. Write some script to show red text/border in red .
On exit event of the Numeric Field here is the script:
if($.rawValue <0) then $.font.fill.color.value = "255,0,0" endif // This will make entire text in red color if the value is negative.
if($.rawValue <0) then $.validate.nullTest = "error" endif //This will make border of the field in red color if the value is negative.
Hope this helps.

Need Help with Format/Partition.. using cmd

Okay guys.. Im kinda sick of trying to get my Recovery to work. Seems like its about to finish and everything is perfect.. then suddenly I get an error message saying that Recovery didnt work, or something like that..
I figured I might as well try starting with a fresh hard drive, then trying the recovery again..
So someone told me that if I have the HP Recovery disks, then I would be able to try them, even on a brand new hard drive, or a formatted one or whatever..
Is this true?
If so, then what I am asking you guys, is, if there is anybody that would be able to help guide me thru the steps needed, in order for me to Format my hard drive, & then partition it or whatever…
& I wanna be able to do all this, using cmd (command prompt)
So Please.. anyone.. your help would be greatly appreciated..
I have an HP Pavilion dv6653cl
Thanks!!

Hi,
There's no need to pre-format a new Hard Drive - if you perform a 'Factory Reset' using your Recovery Discs, these will perform a quick format and also re-create all the original partitions on the new drive as part of the process.
A complete guide to using Recovery Discs can be found on the relevant link below.

Thanks a lot for your time !

Your code is too hard to read for me to look at it in great detail. When you post code, please use [code] and [/code] tags as described in Formatting Help on the message entry page. It makes it much easier to read.
However, I'm guessing it's a TimeZone issue. The midnight on 11/1 that you're setting is probably getting converted to GMT somewhere before the Date object is created. If you're in the U.S., then that's afternoon or evening on 10/31.
Try:
* Starting with a time that's later in the day on 11/1.
* Formatting your date to include time and timezone when you print it. (Just for testing--you can put it back once you understand what's going on
* Reading the Calendar, Timzone, Date, etc. APIs closely.
* Reading any tutorials or texts you can find on the subject.
* Writing a bunch of very small and simple tests to get an understanding of how this all fits together.
Date/Time/TZ handling in Java is kinda tricky.

Need help in formatting the report created using SSRS

I have created an image and used it as the body background. But I want that image to come at right
Set bodyRepeat as RepeatY.
Currently its showing as below I need this blue image at the right most side of the report as below
Also I need to display text on the image.
Need Help!!!
Abhinav

Hi AbhinavSultania,
According to your description, you created a report and added background image to it, you want to display the image at right side of the report and display text on the image.
According to my knowledge, we could not control position of background image, as a workaround, we can refer to the following steps:
Create an image with the blue line at right side of it using Paint.
Right-click body of the report to open Body Properties dialog box, then import the image as background image.
Drag text box from Toolbox to the blue line of the image. Right-click inside of the text box and click Expression, we can use expression to show dynamic contents at runtime.
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

I need help parsing a swift data string

i need to parse swift financial data
is there a way to use split or stringtokenizer for ::
and keep the :: as part of the new seperated data.
i want to put each string starting with :: on a seperate line in a text box.
i gave up and tried it with a loop and a stringbuffer , and indexof.
if (line.indexOf("::") == Strpos ){
frame.jTextArea1.append(displayline.toString());
displayline = new StringBuffer();
displayline.append(line.substring(Strpos, (Strpos + 2)));
Strpos += 2;
if (line.indexOf("::") != Strpos ) {
displayline.append(line.substring(Strpos, Strpos + 1));
System.out.println( displayline);
Strpos++;
but i cant get that to work either.
if anyone knows how to parse swift data please give me your email address.
i've been doing it in cobol for 15 yrs and i just cant get the cobol techniques to translate to java.
thanks.

as i said
i am really a cobol guy
and yes as you see i did try to use indexof in my code.
but there must be something about indexof that i'm not getting.
it works the first time in the loop but then as i increment my start position(strpos)
the indsex of no longer works.
am i using the correct technique to increment the start position thru the string buffer.
thanks guys.

Need help to format data

Hi Gurus,
I am extracting the field "CATEGORY" from oracle to BW. But I found data in the InfoCube is in exponential format (Example Cateory = 4.1030000000000000E+03 ). I don't need data in exponential format. What's the best way to fix this problem.
Thanks
Liza

Hi,
Check the downloaded file from Oracle. I guess, you opened up in Excel and then loaded into BW.
Open it in Notepad and suppose you are creating .csv file, then open it as text file in the Excel.
Hope, it helps.
Thanks

Seek help to format spool file from SQL*PLUS

I am running a Unix shell script to call a Oracle 11g SQL script from a Oracle database. In this SQL script, I need to connect to many different remote databases to select data, then sool these records as one big text file to a directory. Then email the file to related Group users. In the spool file, there is a line on the top of each page like this:
DUMMY
DB_NAME
I know this is caused by connect to remote database in SQL*PLUS. My connection string is like this:
Conn system/password@Oracle_SID
How can I remove these lines or how to skip these lines into spool file? Please advise. Thanks in advnce. Wish all of you Happy New Year!!!

Hi,
It sounds like you have some kind of formatting (such as SQL*Plus TTITLE) producing the output you don't want. If that's the case, temporarily stopping the spooling might not help you. Find out what is causing the output that you don't want. You say that you know it is caused by the CONNECT statements, but it must be more than that. I've written scripts with CONNECT statements that don't have anything like what you reported at the top of each page; in fact, they don't even have pages: the output is one continuous stream. Find out what's putting the unwanted output there, and that will be a big clue as to how you can stop it.
You say that you know the unwanted titles are there because of the CONNECT statements. If so, use database links instead of CONNECT. You don't have to use dbms_scheduler or utl_file; just eliminate the CONNECT statements. (I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with dbms_scheduler or utl_file; you should definitely investigate those tools. I'm just saying that using database links is independent of them.)
What would happen if you did all your connecting to different databases at the OS level? Can you write a shell script that connects to each database in turn, and runs a SQL*Plus script in each one. Each SQL*Plus script would have a SPOOL or SPOOL ... APPEND command, or maybe you could build the SPOOL into a LOGIN.SQL script.
