PJC Calendar setDate Wrong date format. Date change failed?

Forms 10.1.2 using forms demos pjc code.
The calendar pjc I added to my form works except I can't initialize it with a date. If I try to initialize a date it always produces 'Wrong date format. Date change failed.' error.
In a post-query trigger, I initialize the calendar's date using:
SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY('PJC.CALENDAR',1,'setDate',to_char(:lead.date_received,'DD.MM.YYYY'));
In the java console, this yields:
Warning: Wrong date format. Date change failed.
Warning: Wrong date format. Date change failed.
I get the same result when using a hardcoded date like:
SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY('PJC.CALENDAR',1,'setDate','01.12.2006');
What is the flaw in my incantation?

Hello,
This is the syntax used in the calendarpjc Forms demo:
    call the setDate method on the calendar PJC via the PL/SQL built in
    set_custom_item_property
    convert Oracle date to String recognised by Java
procedure setDate(d in date) is
begin
    set_custom_property(lGlobals.hCalendar,1,'setDate',to_char(d,'Mon DD, YYYY'));
end;     Francois

Calendar Control Date Format intermittently Changing

I've noticed that every once in a while the Calendar Date format temporarily changes from DD/MM/YYYY to MM/DD/YYYY
This is very problematic for me. Is there a place i can specify this so that it never changes?

Resolved by changing Default value SQL to:
SELECT EVALUATE('REPLACE(TRIM(leading 0 from TO_CHAR(%1,%2)),%3,%4) ' as varchar(20),MIN("- Dim_Date".DATE_VALUE),'MM/DD/YYYY','/0','/') FROM PRS
This displays the default date in format 1/1/2009, the same format shown when choosing a different date from the calendar control.

Date format is changing in presentation variable

Hello,
I have a problem with date stored in presentation variable.
I have simple prompt with calendar field (default date value is setted from repository or session variable to current date). Selected date is stored in PP_DATE presentation variable.
I have simple report with title to show the content of variable PP_DATE.
And now the problem.
When I navigate to dashboard page with this report I will get date from PP_DATE variable in some format (there is difference when I use repository or session variable). After I will push the start button I will get another date format from PP_DATE variable.
Screenshots are stored and described in this PDF: [PDF with screenshots|https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B2LOPOBteIShMDRmYTJlYTItNmYyZC00ODdkLWE5NjktNzI1N2RlNWMwZjBk]
There is difference between session and repository variable. When I use repository variable I will get 'TIMESTAMP .......' from PP_DATE variable, which is the default initializer in repository variable manager. I tried to delete default initializer, but I is automatically added after saving changes.
When is the default value of prompt setted from session variable I will get another format of date from PP_DATE variable which refers to DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss.mss" (from NQSConfig.ini). I have changed DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT from standard value "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mi:ss" to "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss.mss" because I am reading some data from excel, where are dates stored in MSSQL format. But this is not the reason of my problem. I have the same problem also with standard DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT.
The result of this strange behaviour is that I am getting errors when I am doing some calculations (for example TimeStampDiff) with PP_DATE variable. I am getting error when I am navigating to dashboard page. Everything is ok after I will push the start button.
Do you have some tips?
Thank you

Hey,
you are talking about so many pieces here seems..
first letz break down your issues list..
1. error, this is because of default date(using repository variable) used in prompt..
2. using presentation variables in timetampdiff functions..
3. showing variable in title list..
we'll go through each issue..
because, its' messed up..I think that everywhere is the same problem. So solving issue number 1 will solve my other problems.
"1. error, this is because of default date(using repository variable) used in prompt.. "
I want to use date prompt with default date value (from repository or session variable) and then use pp_date presentation variable from this prompt to filter my results.
I would like to use repos. or session variables, I dont want to write some select to fill default date value in each prompt.
I tried to change one date in initialization block from "trunc(sysdate, 'DD')" to "to_char(sysdate, 'YYYY-MM-DD')" because it is the same format as DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy-mm-dd" in NQSConfig.ini
And now it seems to be working now.
I can use repository var. as default date value in my prompt and use date variable pp_date to filter my results. Report return result after navigation on it and after pushing Go button.
Can you confirm me that date format in initialization block must be the same as DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy-mm-dd" in NQSConfig.ini?

How do I stop the date format from changing to US format?

I have an excel doc that I've converted to pdf. In the process the date format changed to mm/dd/yyyy. How do I stop this from happening?

Hello,
In a earlier attempt I marked all the date entries and labeled them as such (see screenshot of my German Excel):
After that I converted the file by help of Excel(!) and I got this pdf file, which had all the entries formatted as produced in Excel before.

Can date format be changed at runtime in patterLayout(log4J)

Hi,
I would like to know if the date format can be changed at runtime when i am using pattern layout. My application can have a particular date format. How do i specify that for the %d specifier in pattern layout, as i will only know the format at runtime.

Hello Mike,
If your location is equivalent to the parsing schema you can use the APEX built-in substitution string *#OWNER#*.
You still need to resort to Peter’s advices where dynamic table names are concerned. Bear in mind that in this case, you won’t be able to use the APEX built-in DML processes, and you’ll need to write your own fetch/insert/update/delete processes, which might be a lot of work. Working in a multi-user environment adds the complexity factor of concurrency control (lost updates).

Changing date format (find/change?)

And i want to change all these dates just to:
01. Mon

Is there a possibility to do that within Indesign? Thank you for your answers.

Sandee, you got it exactly right. That's very unfortunate. It's pretty simple data formating and i'm surprised InDesign can't nativly do that O_O
InDesign is not a data formating tool - nor is it a word processor. It's a layout tool for creating print/web ready documentation.
It can do a lot of things - but it can't reformat your data.
I would have done the same as you did - but I would have added a blank character style(create a char style based on None and don't select any options) to the numbers and created an index.
http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/index_charstyles.html
Brought that to Excel and converted the text to the way it was supposed.
Then prepare the "FindChangebyList" in the scripts panel.

SQL*LOADER and date formatted data

Hi there, I don't want to load complex things in my table - just a simple date....
The control file is:
load data
infile 'c:\data\mydata.csv'
into table test_table
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
( sampledate, name )
The mydata.csv file is:
30-12-2003, Test1
31-12-2003, Test2
However this format is not being accepted by the database... I tried other combinations of date (eg, 30122003, 20-DEC-2003, 30/12/2004, etc...) but always had a 'data error'
Thanks for any suggestions.

Example:
Control File for Case Study 3
This control file loads the same table as in case 2, but it loads three additional columns (hiredate, projno, and loadseq). The demonstration table emp does not have columns projno and loadseq. To test this control file, add these columns to the emp table with the command:
ALTER TABLE emp ADD (projno NUMBER, loadseq NUMBER);
The data is in a different format than in case 2. Some data is enclosed in quotation marks, some is set off by commas, and the values for deptno and projno are separated by a colon.
1) -- Variable-length, delimited, and enclosed data format
LOAD DATA
2) INFILE *
3) APPEND
INTO TABLE emp
4) FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
(empno, ename, job, mgr,
5) hiredate DATE(20) "DD-Month-YYYY",
sal, comm, deptno CHAR TERMINATED BY ':',
projno,
6) loadseq SEQUENCE(MAX,1))
7) BEGINDATA

Change the date format from mm/dd to dd/mm

Is there any way to change the date format? Currently, my today screen, calendar app, etc is set to display dates as mm/dd. I'd like to change it to the UK format (dd/mm) but I have not been able to find a single method that works. I've tried themes as some have recommended but once I install them, it's still showing mm/dd.
I'm not unfamiliar with upgrading the OS and "slimming" it down, so even a method that requires me to remove US resource files will be okay.
Frankly I'm disappointed RIM doesn't provide users with a "Regional Settings" type option like in Windows to change the date format.
Any advice would be most appriciated.

Yes you can change Date format from mm/dd to dd/mm its done automatically by " Display language " selected :
Go to Menu : Setup - choose - Language and Input Methods - look for " Display Language" there is a small window with down arrow , click the down arrow and , change from " English" to " English (UK) "for DD / MM ,date format , or change to " English (US) " for MM / DD date format.
Hope this help .

Date format changes in the middle of a program execution

In my C code I have a series of select statements.
When I first get a session to the database I use the following command to set the date format
alter session set nls_date_format = 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'
It works fine for a few queries. After a while during the program execution I see that the date format changes to 'DD-MON-YY' format. This results in a series of error in my code because I expect the date format to always be in the 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS' format.
Any idea why the date format should change all of a sudden in the middle of the program execution.

I second the idea that you should always use TO_DATE and TO_CHAR if you want to reliably convert between dates and strings.
Without seeing your code, it is hard to say why your date format is changing, but the most likely reason is that you are changing users somewhere in the code. For example:
SQL> show user
USER is "OPS$ORACLE"
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-JUL-2003
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_format='dd-Mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss';
Session altered.
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-Jul-2003 10:15:12
SQL> connect jtest/test
Connected.
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-JUL-2003TTFN

Change date format in EP when introduce values with "/" as date separator

Hi experts,
We have ECC 6 EHP3 with Enterprise Portal 7 SP 18. We instal BP_ERP5ESS
1.31 SP 4.0, BP_ERP5COM 1.31 SP 4.0, BP_ERP5MSS 1.31 SP 4.0, SAP_ESS
603 SP 4.12 and SAPPCUI_GP 603 SP 4.1
We activate the Travel Management (FIN_TRAVEL_1) business function, so
we use WD ABAP for travel expenses.
The issue is when in the Portal, go to Travel and Expenses and create a
new travel request or a new expense report and introduce the values of
the date with "/" as separator. The system changes the date format, and
change the days for months and months for days, DD/MM/YYYY change to
MM/DD/YYYY. For example if we introduce 31/12/2009, the system change
to 12/31/2009 and gives an error.
If we introduce with "." as separator, 31.12.2009, it works fine, don´t change days for months, so it seems that is not a problem of language settings.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Manuel

Hi,
You can check the date formate in the portal.........
log in by the Super Super give the user name ...........and check the details..........

Date Format issue while creating date parameter

While creating date parameter in the crystal reports 2008 with SQL Server 2008 database connection, I want to change the date format according to the specified format in the database.
For ex: YYYY/MM/DD and MM/DD/YYYY
This paramter will be editable in the viewer i.e. I'm going to provide option to the user to change start date and end date for data selection.
Please help!
Thanks in Advance!

i found this
i am trying to get the Enter Values screen for parameters to allow entry in a specific format 'DD-MON-RRRR' connecting to an Oracle database. I found that a hack is possible yet I would prefer a clean solution that wont need files changing on client machines. The hack involved changing some javascript files within the Crystal Reports directory. The problem is I now have the date from the calendar in the correct format but it displays the following prompt: Please enter DateTime in format "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss".
Is there a way to supress this or better yet a way to specify date format without changing the javascript files of Crystal Reports.
I am using Crystal Reports 2008 SP1.
