Hi,
Can you pls help me in understanding, whether this date format is supported in OSB YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS[+/-]hh:mm, is there any datatype need to be used for this requirement. Source application is sending the date in the above specified date format. Please advice on this. what is requird in OSB to pass it to end system.
Thanks.

HI,
yes it is working with datetime data type.
Thank you..

How to validate date formate YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss ?

i have implemented validation for YYYY-MM-DD 
but how to validate for time 
here is the code for date validation
could you please anyone help me on this issue
 public static boolean validateDateFormate(String date) 
{ 
 try { 
 String dateFormat="yyyy-MM-ddYYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss";
 String temp = date.substring(0,date.indexOf("-"));
 if(temp.length()!= 4)
 return false;
 SimpleDateFormat df=new SimpleDateFormat(dateFormat);
 Date date1=df.parse(date);
 String resultDateString=df.format(date1);
 System.out.println("date1"+resultDateString);
 if ( !date.equals(resultDateString)) { return false; }
 } catch (Exception de) {
 System.out.println(de);
 return false;

How to generate current time in the format yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ in the xslt

Hello,
i am tring to generate current time in the format yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ in my xlst file.
the following info are necessary,
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xslt/java" exclude-result-prefixes="java"
version="1.0">
<xsl:attribute name="generationDate"><xsl:value-of select="java:format(java:java.text.SimpleDateFormat.new('yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss'), java:java.util.Date.new())"/></xsl:attribute>
but java SimpleDateFormat doesnt support yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ.
thanks in advance.

Hi wwuest,
I use the following code to generate such a date format :
 try {
 SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
 Date date = sdf.parse(strDate);
 sdf.applyPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss");
 strDate = sdf.format(date);
 } // catching the parse exceptionMaybe you could try this method and see if it pass through xsl with :
new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").applyPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss'Z'")Bye

Supported date formats for sorting

Can someone point me to a document describing the supported
date formats for sorting? I mean, how should I format a date column
in an XML dataset in order to have this column correctly sorted
using the Spry framework?
Thank you and sorry if the question is trivial.

Thanks, what I have done for the moment as a temporary
solution is to use the two date formats and have them both inside
the one cell in the table (the column for the sortable date
yyyy-mm-dd). In my CSS I have created a style for the first date
that has it's visibility as hidden. That way it's sorting the Date1
but only Date2 is being shown to the users as the other cells have
more than one line of text it doesn't look too off centre.
<div spry:region="ds2">
<table width="662">
<tr>
<th width="127" class="eventhead"
spry:sort="Date1">Date</th>
<th width="151" class="eventhead"
spry:sort="Type">Type</th>
<th width="146" class="eventhead"
spry:sort="Title">Title</th>
<th width="189" class="eventhead"
spry:sort="Venue">Venue</th>
</tr>
<tr spry:repeat="ds2" spry:setrow="ds2">
<td height="53" class="event">{Date2}{Date1}</td>
<td class="event">{Type}</td>
<td class="event">{Title}</td>
<td class="event">{Venue}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
It seems to be working for the moment...

List view error "Filter Value is not in a supported date format"

I've column "Name = Order Status","Type = Calculated" & Data Type = "Date and Time". I've given this Condition in the formula:- =IF(NOT([PO Date]=0),"ORDERED","NOT ORDERED"). I'm trying to create view
for this column but its getting error while create the view "Filter Value is not in a supported date format".
Same error I'm getting for column "Name = Status","Type = Calculated" & Data Type = "Number". I've given this Condition in the formula:- =IF([PO Date]="","",IF(NOT([Balance Qty]=0),"OPEN","CLOSED"))

Can you check data type returned for your calculated column 'Balance Qty'?
Try to set it as Number. It may help you.
Thanks.

I have an iphone (3.1.2) and would like to use the date format yyyy-mm-dd (international date format). Is the possible? If yes, how?

I know of no other way to set the date format other than what I mentioned in my previous post. There are third party apps that will do what you want in the app. store, but they are not permitted to access the underlining software.

You can easily do that by using the standard datetransformation fuction . in the property of that function put your coming source and desired target format . However once you specify the source format then the source field should always be in thaat format

Converting date format yyyy-mm-dd to mm/dd/yyyy

Hi,
I need help converting the above date format. In the database the date is stored as a VARCHAR with the format yyyy-mm-dd
but I would like it changed to DATE with the format mm/dd/yyyy. I tried the following and I keep getting invalid month
select To_date(date_value, 'mm/dd/yyyy') as date_value from table
When I try to convert it to char first before converting to date I get an invalid number error
select to_date(to_char(date_value, 'mm/dd/yyyy'), 'mm/dd/yyyy') as date_value from table
What do I do?
Thanks for your help!!!

Hi,
The second argument of TO_DATE tells what format the first argument is already in.
So you want:
select To_date (date_value, 'yyyy-mm-dd') as date_value
from    table_x;Format is a quality of strings, not DATEs. Once you have converted your string to a DATE, is is stored in the same internal format as all the other DATEs. Use TO_CHAR to display it in any format you like.
For example:
SELECT     TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE (date_value, 'yyyy-mm-dd')
          , 'mm/dd/yyyy'
FROM     table_x;Things are much easier if you store dates in DATE columns.

Working with SAP Data Format yyyy.mm.dd in data services

Hi,
I had 2 questions about date formats coming from SAP to DS .
1) I am trying to convert date fieild from SAP that is formated to yyyy.mm.dd to mm/dd/yyyy but I am not having any luck .. I am using the to_date function when I run this below I get null values in my template table . I think it has to do with me not stating my input date format but cannot seem to get the correct syntax's any ideas ?
2) Does Data Services recognize dates which are formatted as yyyy.mm.dd ?? When I put I added a column to a template table and added the sys date command it returned the sys date as yyyy.mm.dd BUT when I try a fiscal_day function (which should brings back the number of days between the input (my SAP source date ) and the sys date which are formatted the same (yyyy.mm.dd) I get a format error (input parameter 2009.03.10 is not valid) . any ideas ?
Thanks for your time,

Hello Brett
to_date convert STRING to date based on input format.
As i understand your source data not in string format.Is this correct?
Use combination to_char->to_date for your transformation

Date format YYYY inserted as 0006 instead of 2006

Hi,
I have a strange problem in 9i database. When I execute the following procedure from TOAD's procedure editor, it inserts the year as 0006, buth when I execute it from sqlplus it inserts correctly as 2006.
So the scenario wherein the proc inserts the year as 0006 happens only from our application(java-strut-based) and from TOAD's procedure editor.
Please let me know if you have any clue on why it is happening only when executed from some clients. The NLS_DATE_FORMAT is already set as DD-MON-YYYY and all other database session level parameters,etc are correctly set.
Procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test_year_format (
IS
v_start_date DATE;
BEGIN
DELETE FROM my_year_tab;
--get the start date for the month
SELECT TO_DATE (TO_CHAR (01) || '/' || '01' || '/' || TO_CHAR (2006),
'mm/dd/yyyy'
INTO v_start_date
FROM DUAL;
--This table has only one field that is of date datatype. The to_date inserts the year as 0006
INSERT INTO my_year_tab
VALUES (TO_DATE (v_start_date, 'dd-mon-yyyy'));
COMMIT;
END test_year_format;
Thanks and regards,
Ambili

Hi,
I agree with both prior posts about using TO_DATE(DATE type)...
But, just for information, maybe TOAD is reading a "local environment variable date ormat" in this format 'DD/MM/YY' ...
e.g:
RPS@ORACLE10> select to_date('01/01/06','dd/mm/rrrr') from dual;
TO_DATE('0
01/01/2006
RPS@ORACLE10> select to_date('01/01/06','dd/mm/yyyy') from dual;
TO_DATE('0
01/01/0006
RPS@ORACLE10>Cheers

Please suggest some solution, thank you in advance.
-Sachin Doshi

Ananth,
I require this because its a client requirement, My clients wants to have input format in the same way as he wants it to see in the report.
I have seen the Dates javascript files and I am surprised to see that the format is hardcoded. I think this is something non-standard. Crystal is allowing the user to format the date on the report then why is it resitricting while accepting.This is something very basic.
Is there any quick resolution to this apart from converting the Date field to String.
Please Help.
