Non-standard date format yyyymdd in holiday calendar?

Hello,
I currently implement the Mozilla Dutch Holiday calendar http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/caldata/DutchHolidays.ics on iPhones, iPads, Thunderbird with Lightning and Android-based telephones.
That calendar contents show up in the iPhones, iPads and Thunderbirds. But a number of different apps on the Android telephone either show nothing or report an invalid date format used in that file. At first I assumed that there was some error in those apps. But one of the creators informed me that according to the specification as shown in http://www.kanzaki.com/docs/ical/date.html the date format in that Mozilla Holiday Calendar is not according to the spec. It contains dates in the format 4-1-2 instead of 4-2-2.
Here is one I found. I did not try to find all of them.
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:2010828
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:2010829
Will this be corrected?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards

Now we are into territory I am unfamiliar with, so I looked around.
Looks like first file a bug. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
I suggest copying product etc from this bug. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=953257
seek advice there in exactly what to do, but it looks like uploading a corrected ICS is about it.
You might add the module owner to the bug https://wiki.mozilla.org/Modules/All#Calendar

Non US date format within Workspace and Guides

Is is possible to change the date format displayed within the workspace and Guides to a non US date format?
This really is a show stopper for us as our standard date format is DD/MM/YYYY and the forms won't be usable for our staff if they are not in this format.

For Workspace, the date format strings are provided in the localized resource swfs so if you need to change them, can either update the resource swf in question, or possibly provide a new one for the locale you really want to service. The shipping english swf is named workspace_rb_en_US.swf so maybe you want to provide another one with a different en_XX suffix. The Workspace source is shipped with the product and I think the Customizing Workspace doc explains how to do this. The ES2 version of the doc may not be ready yet, but the ES version should explain the concepts. You may need a hotfix to get the proper ant scripts to build it, but you would have to check with support on this.

Standard date format

Hello,
I use jstl with sql, e.g.
<sql:query var="results" dataSource="jdbc/my_db">
SELECT create_date
FROM my_table
</sql:query>
<c:forEach var="row" items="${results.rows}" varStatus="counter">
${row.create_date}<br>
</c:forEach>the result is:
2009-09-15
2009-09-16
2009-09-17
In the field create_date are date and time saved. I would like to get the result in format dd.mm.yyyy hh24:mi:ss. But I don't want to write
SELECT to_char(create_date,'dd.mm.yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
FROM my_table
because I have a lot of fields with a date.
Is it possible to set a default date format for the page or the webapp...?
Could anyone help me, please?
Claudia
PS:
I've tried to change NLS_DATE_FORMAT on the database (ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT='dd.mm.yyyy hh24:mi:ss'), but the result is the same :-(
I've installed Linux with apache tomcat

No, I didn't know that. Very interesting!
But it's a pity. It's an easy way to show data of a simply query.It might be easy to code, but it's hard to reuse, debug, maintain, and so on.
But for all that ... If I wouldn't use jstl for the query ... it is not possible to use a standard default date format or the nls_date_format of the oracle database?
I have to pattern each column?Those two are completely independent of each other.

Inputing dates in non-US date format

I know this is an old issue, but I could not find it resolved in the discussions and threads had been closed:
I cannot figure out how to input dates using my preferred format mm/dd/yy (or dd.mm.yy, or even dd.mm.yyyy) despite having set it up that way in system preferences>international (using Irish, UK, or whatever settings).
This occurs in Address Book where I try to input Birthdays (which I want included in iCal). It appears to want to make everything the current year and month (if dd>12 which makes it confused about dd or mm) or (if dd>=12) it assumes you are entering mm/dd/yy (contrary to my settings in System Preferences). The only way I have found around this problem is to write birthdays out in "long hand" (e.g. 31 May 1935)... Oddly if you give it something like 3/2/12 it will make it 2 March 2012 (rather than 3 February 1912 as intended). Which would be unlikely to say the least...
Definitely not the kind of problem I would expect from MacOS!
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

To customize the date (and any other format) to your particular preference, go to System Preferences; select International; select Formats. In the Dates section, select Customize. A pane will appear with Show:. From here you can select Short, Medium, Long or Full.
As an example, I use Medium for my Mail using the dd mm yy format. To make this display, you simply move (rearrange) each of the elements of the day/month/format to your particular choice. You can insert any divider between each of these elements (I use a space).
If you prefer the truncated Julian Date (yyD) format (for specific message/signals processing), simply delete the existing elements from the format line, and drag and drop a date element from the table below the element format line. For Julian Date, I selected Year and then Day of Year (without a space). I then modified the Year format by clicking on the Year element, which then displays a white chevron to right of the numeral. Click on the white chevron and several format options are available. Click your prefered option. Repeat the same process for Day of Year element.
When you are satisfied, click OK.

Non-Standard Time format

SS2008 R2
I have to store and manipulate data from a new phone system. Some of the columns are "Time" interval. So while they behave like a SS "Time" data type they can hold a value greater than 24 hours (ex. 25:10:33) .
This causes SS to blow, of course.
So I was wondering how I should handle this. I thought about storing the value as a string, and using a group of functions or stored procs or views to interpret the string in a way that the users can still report the numbers. dd:hh:mm:ss
. Or perhaps interpret the string as the row is stored and store it elsewhere.
But I am not sure.
Any suggestions?
Michael

That's not a time by SQL Server definitions. It's only ever going to be a string. You can fix it with this:
DECLARE @dodgyTimeStrings TABLE (timestring VARCHAR(10))
INSERT INTO @dodgyTimeStrings (timestring)
VALUES ('25:58:23'),('23:58:23'),('99:58:23'),('24:58:23')
SELECT *,
CASE WHEN LEFT(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',timestring)-1) > 23 THEN LEFT(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',timestring)-1) / 24 ELSE 0 END AS timeDays,
CASE WHEN LEFT(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',timestring)-1) > 23 THEN LEFT(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',timestring)-1) % 24 ELSE LEFT(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',timestring)-1) END AS timeHours,
SUBSTRING(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',timestring)+1,2) AS timeMinutes,
RIGHT(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',REVERSE(timestring))-1) AS timeSeconds
FROM @dodgyTimeStrings
Just fix it on import, and do with it as you must. For example, adding the value to a startDateTime type column:
DECLARE @dodgyTimeStrings TABLE (timestring VARCHAR(10), startDateTime datetime)
INSERT INTO @dodgyTimeStrings (timestring, startDateTime)
VALUES ('25:58:23','2014-07-01 18:00:00.00'),('23:58:23','2014-07-01 18:00:00.00'),('99:58:23','2014-07-01 18:00:00.00'),('24:58:23','2014-07-01 18:00:00.00')
SELECT *, DATEADD(SECOND,timeDurationSeconds,startDateTime)
FROM (
SELECT *,
CASE WHEN LEFT(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',timestring)-1) > 23 THEN LEFT(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',timestring)-1) / 24 ELSE 0 END AS timeDays,
CASE WHEN LEFT(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',timestring)-1) > 23 THEN LEFT(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',timestring)-1) % 24 ELSE LEFT(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',timestring)-1) END AS timeHours,
SUBSTRING(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',timestring)+1,2) AS timeMinutes,
RIGHT(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',REVERSE(timestring))-1) AS timeSeconds,
((CASE WHEN LEFT(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',timestring)-1) > 23 THEN LEFT(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',timestring)-1) / 24 ELSE 0 END * 24) * 3600) +
(CASE WHEN LEFT(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',timestring)-1) > 23 THEN LEFT(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',timestring)-1) % 24 ELSE LEFT(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',timestring)-1) END * 3600) +
(SUBSTRING(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',timestring)+1,2) * 60) +
RIGHT(timestring,CHARINDEX(':',REVERSE(timestring))-1) AS timeDurationSeconds
FROM @dodgyTimeStrings) a

HR-TM: Two Holiday Calendars That Have Different Non-working Days?

Dear All,
Please help me on the predicament below:
I need to create two holiday calendars.
Holiday Calendar 1 will have Saturday and Sunday as non-working days.
Holiday Calendar 2 will have Friday and Saturday as non-working days.
And both holiday calendars are used in the same country.
Then, there is one holiday which is assigned to both holiday calendars such as New Year Day.
How can I configure so that
1) if New Year Day falls on the first non-working day of each week of each holiday calendar, the holiday will be moved to the previous day?
2) if New Year Day falls on the second non-working day of each week of each holiday calendar, the holiday will be moved to the following day?
Should I create two lines of data for New Year Day so that each of them assigned to different holiday calendar?
Or I can just use one New Year Day in both holiday calendars?
Thanks.

I've got my answer.
First calendar, i use fixed date and floating date for the public holiday based on the real situation.
Second calendar, i use floating date for all the public holiday, then set the date every year once.

Change date format in dashboard promt and calendar

hi,
do any one know how to change the date format when using the calendar option in dashboard prompt. As the user picks a date from the calendar the format becomes DD-MM-YYYY. The customer would like YYYY-MM-DD!!
Any suggestions?

Hi Jose, i tried to update the settings in the NQSConfig.INI file, but there was no luck.
I would like to mention my issue here again.
I have a dashboard prompt built on a Date Column and I would like to see it as a Calendar Type. The value of this prompt is save in a variable pDate.
In the answer, i have a filter on a date column(This is exactly the same column used to build the Prompt). The filter i set as Advance SQL Filter as I want to use the TimeStampAdd function.
The filter is set as Date_Key = TimeStampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY, -6, '@{pDate}')
The above request when ran from the dashboard, gives me the following error:
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 932, message: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER at OCI call OCIStmtExecute. [nQSError: 17010] SQL statement preparation failed. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT Calendar."Time Id" saw_0, "Sales Facts"."Amount Sold" saw_1 FROM SH WHERE Calendar."Time Id" = TimeStampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY, -6, '01/01/2002 12:00:00 AM') ORDER BY saw_0
My understanding is that the Calendar control is populating pDate variable in 'mm/dd/yyyy hh:mi:ss' Format, while the TimeStampAdd function expect the variable as 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:ss:mi' Format.
Is there any other place that we need to update on the server that will force the Calendar to return the prompt value in 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS' Format ?
Thanks

Date format in different databases like DB2, MS SQL, Oracle etc.

Hi,
Is there any standard date format, which works on any database like DB2, MS SQL Server, or Oracle 8i.
Right now I am using specific format for each database.
I am using the following syntax to retrieve the records on Jun 14, 2001.
MS SQL Server:
select * from tablename where
CONVERT(character(10),ReceiptDateTime, 120) >='2001-06-14'
and CONVERT(character(10), ReceiptDateTime , 120) <'2001-06-15'
Oracle:
select * from tablename where
TO_CHAR(ReceiptDateTime,'YYYY-MM-DD') >= '2001-06-14'
AND TO_CHAR(ReceiptDateTime,'YYYY-MM-DD') < '2001-06-15'
Is there any way we can generalize the date formt?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Naidu

Hi,
Perhaps any difference when you compare the outcomes of
SQL> select * from nls_database_parameters;
SQL> select * from nls_session_parameters;on both databases?

Is it possible to load a non-standard image using some Java API?

Hi,
My "problem" is:
1. I have an image called "mediterranean_sea.IMG" (non-standard image format)
2. I need to process it (histogram, palette, etc).
3. I'm wondering if it is possible to load this image an process it using some Java API.
4. I've tried to do this using JAI but I think that this API only works with TIFF, PNG, JPEG, etc.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Roger

Confirmation on Date = Standard Date migration

Our 1st test upgrade from 11.0.3 to 11.5.9 is underway and I'm trying to understand the "Convert flexfield Data and DateTime value sets" step. This step deals with the Date format to Standard Date format in relation to Flexfields and/or Concurrent Pgm Parameters.
First off there appears to be two reasons for this:
1. Standard Date allows for individual personalization re: Display/entry format for date
2. Date format becomes obsolete in version 12 (of Apps)
The report used to list candidate Flexfields, Parameters and Value Sets lists 137 reports and 23 different Value Sets.
The documentation (11.5.9 Upgrade Manual, Category 4, Applications Technology, System Administration, Step 4) suggests that replacement Value Sets would be seeded and that custom Value Sets need to be cloned to utilize the new format. But, I only find one "Standard" Value Set (Standard Date).
Questions:
1. Should there be "seeded standard date value sets" ? Or, do we just clone the 23 identified ?
2. How are people dealing with existing Value Sets with a maximum size of 9 ? Standard Date format will NOT the size to be modified.
3. How confident can I be that Oracle has modified their programs to accept the new format as a passed parameter ?
TIA

Icloud Date Format wrong...

iCloud date format preferences do not work. Day Month Year is an option but it doesn't reflect in places like the calander.

This does not solve the problem. Much like date format settings on Mac do not change the date format on the menu bar of a mac, where it matters most. The date format settings in icloud calendar do not change the date format. Anyone have a solution?

ICloud date format - especially in Mail

Since moving over to iCloud the date format in my Mail (and presumably anywhere else in iCloud) has changed from day/month/year to month/day/year. My System Preferences are in the format I want but this doesn't seem to have any affect on the iCloud preferences. Does anyone know how I can change the date format or will Apple fix this in an update? Thanks,

SAP data format

Hi All,
What is the standard data format in SAP?
Is it in unicode, ascii, or binary?
Can you also tell me the difference between the 3?
More specifically, what is the data format for a document downloaded from SAP via GUI_DOWNLOAD?
Thanks.

Hi,
I'd just like to say that FM GUI_DOWNLOAD can output file in many format.
The output format is handled in FILETYPE parameter in the FM.
By default, if the calling program doesn't pass any value to this FILETYPE parameter, the FM is producing output file in ASCII.
FYI, these info can be found in the FM documentation.
But for your convenience, hereby I attached the function module help, specific to this FILETYPE parameter:

BOXI3.0 How to choose certain data format from selected field?

Hello there!
Its been a while since my last post the question.
I have one question.
I have this PO_ID field. Example of the data:
1. 72998
2. FF15376
3. 71794R
4. WSSC 092008/0004
5. WC/ 092008/0290
6. MP20080911-1187
There are a lot of style or non fix data format inside PO_ID field.
My question is how can I choose only PO_ID type no.1 (72998) only show in the webi?
Filtering is one way but what about formula or variable or any other method?
Hope the expert can help me.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Alias

Alias,
If there is any other simple solution, do inform
Of course there is more than one way to skin a cat. Here are a couple of ways:
=if(substr[Po_ID];1;1) inlist ("0";"1";"2";"3";"4";"5";"6";"7";"8";"9");"Number";"Not a number")
=if(substr[PO_ID];1;1)>="0" and substr([Po_ID];1;1)<="9";"Number";"Not a number")
Personally I have more confidence in the first example, but the second example may work reliably. It's just that I've used the first method more often...
Thanks,
John
