Problem in formatting date

Hi,
I am rendering the date that is got from the Database as
<tr:outputText rendered="#{myBean.deliverDate != null}"
                   value="#{myBean..deliverDate}"/>The date is being displayed as 20080329 which is correct as it is a stored in the database in the same way.
What I want to do is that I want to render the date as 03/29/2008.
I tried using
<tr:outputText rendered="#myBean.deliverDate != null}"
                   value="#{myBean.deliverDate}">
                    <f:convertDateTime type="date" dateStyle="shortish"/>But the above code doesnt make a difference in the output.
Thanks in advance.

<f:convertDateTime> operates on java.util.Date instances, not strings.

I have Problem in Upload Date formate

Hi Friends,
I have one doubt on WDJ.
I have done one Application that application having one functionality that is Download data in to Excel. After download data into excel we can change the DATE cell and again upload Excel Data.
Here what I am getting problem is download data into SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy"); this date forame. And again upload data into Same date formate
But it is not uploaded
When I download data into SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); this date format that time it will upload successfully.
This is for Dowload data into Excel
if(StockEle.getConf_Shp_Date()==null)
ExcelEle.setConf_Shp_Date("null");
else
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
Date ConfShpDate = wdContext.nodePoDetails_OutTab().getPoDetails_OutTabElementAt(i).getConf_Shp_Date();
String ConfShpDate1 = sdf.format(ConfShpDate); // will give dd-MM-yyyy
ExcelEle.setConf_Shp_Date(ConfShpDate1);
Here ExcelEle.setConf_Shp_Date data type is String
This is for Upload data
try
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
//Date dt = sdf.parse(ele.getConf_Shp_Date());
// java.util.Date Date dt = sdf.parse(ele.getConf_Shp_Date());
java.util.Date dt = sdf.parse(ele.getConf_Shp_Date());
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(dt.getTime());
eleout.setEindt(sqlDate);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
eleout.setEindt data type is Date.
How to Solve this issue I want upload this type of date (dd.MM.yyyy).
Regards
Vijay Kalluri

Hi
Try to format it before sending it back , try using these code
// Create Date object. Date date = new Date();
//Specify the desired date format
String DATE_FORMAT = "MM/dd/yyyy";
//Create object of SimpleDateFormat and pass the desired date format.
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);
/* Use format method of SimpleDateFormat class to format the date. */
System.out.println("Today is " + sdf.format(date) );

Problem formatting date.

I have a problem in validating and formatting date input by the user. The user input format is dd-MM-yyyy. I have to validate it and format it to dd-MMM-yy format. I tried the below code.
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public class DateFormatter{
     public static void main(String[] args){
          String str = "24-12-20gg";
          SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
          try{
               sdf.setLenient(false);
               Date date = sdf.parse(str);
               System.out.println(date);
          }catch(Exception e){
               System.out.println(e);
The above code parses the date as - Tue Dec 24 00:00:00 IST 0020 . I want to throw an exception if it is not a date and is not of four digits. Any solution ?.

Why not Java support such things. This will help to avoid reinventing the
wheel.Java does support such things; there is no need to reinvent the wheel. Example:
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
public class DateParseDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new DateParseDemo().go();
    public void go() {
        String format = "dd-MM-yyyy";
        String goodDate = "24-12-2003";
        String badDate = "Dec 24, 2004";
        if (dateIsValid(format, goodDate)) {
            System.out.println("\"" + goodDate + "\" is valid!");
        if (!dateIsValid(format, badDate)) {
            System.out.println("\"" + badDate + "\" is NOT valid!");
    public boolean dateIsValid(String format, String date) {
        boolean valid = false;
        DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
        Date parsed;
        try {
            parsed = df.parse(date);
            valid = true;
        } catch (ParseException pe) {
            // log exception
        return valid;

Problem with the Date format and sending it to R/3

Hi all,
I have an Adaptive RFC application which fetches the data from the R/3 and displays the Employee's Personal Data.
I am using a ZFM which is customised as per the requirement from the Standard BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA.
Now the Problem i am facing is Date is default and Optional Parameter in RFC.
If i execute the RFC in R/3 without Date it is not filling the Internal Tables. And if i pass the Date it is filling the Internal Table and fetches the Records.
So in WD application i am inputing Employee FirstName, LastName or the Employee ID.
User can give any of the above input or combination of FirstName and LastName Or only the Employee ID.
Now the Main Problem is of Date which is of type Date.
I have also tried the SimpleDateFormat Class, but i am not able to achieve the result.
I have also seen the Links and threads on SDN, but unable to solve the problem.
So pls help me out asap.
Thanks & Regards,
Dhruv Shah

Hi ,
By default , RFC accept date format of SQL date (yyyy-mm-dd) . If you are using a date picker from WD, it directly set the date in SQL date format. Incase if you are trying to pass date to RFC in some other way you have to convert that into SQL date format before passing.
if you are passing String date of format dd-mm-yyyy , you try this method to convert that to SQL date and pass to your RFC.
public java.sql.Date sqlDateConvert( String date) {
    //@@begin sqlDateConvert()
     java.sql.Date dateObj=null;
     try{
          StringTokenizer tempStringTokenizer = new StringTokenizer(""+date,"-");          int dd=Integer.parseInt(tempStringTokenizer.nextToken().trim());
                                int mm=Integer.parseInt(tempStringTokenizer.nextToken().trim());
          mm=mm-1;
          int yyyy=Integer.parseInt(tempStringTokenizer.nextToken().trim());
          Calendar cal =Calendar.getInstance();
          cal.set(yyyy,mm,dd);
          dateObj = new java.sql.Date( cal.getTime().getTime());
     }catch(Exception e)
          return dateObj;
Hope this will help you.

Problem with input data format - not "only" XML

Hi Experts,
I have problem with input data format.
I get some data from JMS ( MQSeries) , but input format is not clear XML.
This is some like flat file with content of XMLu2026.
Example:
0000084202008-11-0511:37<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document xmlns="urn:xsd:test.01" xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance Sndr="0001" Rcvr="SP">
...content....
</Document>000016750
Problems in this file is :
1. data before parser <? xml version="1.0"> -> 0000084202008-11-0511:37
2. data after last parser </Document> -> 000016750
This data destroy XML format.
Unfortunately XI is not one receiver of this files and we canu2019t change this file format in queue MQSeries ( before go to XI) .
My goal is to get XML from this file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document xmlns="urn:xsd:test.01" xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance Sndr="0001" Rcvr="SP">
...content....
</Document>
My questions:
1. Is any way or technique to delete this data 0000084202008-11-0511:37 in XI from this file ?
2. Is any way to get only XML from this file ?
Thanx .
Regards,
Seo

Hi Buddy
What is the XI adapter using?
If you use inbound File adapter content conversion you could replace these values with none and then pass it to the scenario.
Does that help?

Problem with Java Dates and UPDATE for SQL2000

I am having problems with the date formats for Java. I am trying to put the current date time into a SQL table, here it the code I am using:
var Today = new Date()
var conn = Server.CreateObject( "ADODB.Connection" )
conn.Open( "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=(local);Database=BillTracking;UID=sa;PWD=;")
var sql = "UPDATE BillAssignments SET DatePosted = " + Today + " WHERE AssignmentID = '" + Request.QueryString("AssignmentID") + "'"
var rs = conn.execute(sql)
I keep getting different errors and I have been unable to find a solution yet. I know that I need to change the date format from the Java standard to the one that SQL likes.
Help....
Norm...

Please tell us where the Java part of this comes in. I see that you are using JavaScript to load up data via an ADO connection (presumably on an IIS platform) - but I do not see where you are using Java

How to print formatted data / report on user's printer in Web Application

Hi All
I want to print some formatted data/report ( it might be 1000 pages) on user's printer.
application is web based and tech. used are Java - jsp - servlets
now prob. is ...
how i will transfer all data to client (web browser) from the server and how i can print that data on user's printer ...??
there is requirement that I can not use applet for this purpose.
if any one done or have idea then let me know.
thanks
Shailesh Koradiya

Hi
Its simple, first of all break ur data in terms of pages. Write the logic in one JSP.
suppose i have jsp PrintReport.jsp , for page 1 url will PrintReport.jsp?page=0 ... so on
get the page parameter in JSP
String page="";
if(request.getParameter("page")!=null)
page=request.getParameter("page");
get the rowcount from the Result and assume records per page is 100
if u have 1000 rows then 10 pages u have to serve
StartRowNumber=page*recordsPerPage
EndRowNumber=StartRowNumber+recordsPerPage
Execute a SQL query , select * from table where rownum between
StartRowNumber and EndRowNumber
Provide google like pageNumbers in ur HTML page
ie 1 2 3 4 5 6 ..10
Regarding printing , Create HTML button called 'print' and add Javascript ' window.print()' on clicking it.
Hope it would solve ur problem
Cheers

Facing problem with a date column in select query

Hi,
I am facing problem with a date column. Below is my query and its fainling with " invalid number format model" .
Query: SELECT *
FROM EMP
WHERE trunc(LAST_UPDATED) >= to_date(to_char(22-05-2009,'dd-mm-yyyy'),'dd-mm-yyyy')
LAST_UPDATED column is "DATE" data type.
Please help me Thanks

You do not need the TRUNC here in any case.
I don't think so. What if the user wants only data for 22nd May and the table has records with date later than 22nd also? In that case your query willl not work. In order for the Index to work, I think the query can be written like this I think Sean is right though. Use of TRUNC Function is quiet useless based on the condition given here, since the to_date Function used by OP will always point to midnight of the specified date, in this case 22-05-2009 00:00:00.

Edit: I think Sean proved his point... ;)

Error in outputting xml formatted data

<DIVI have a 600 row table (dml below) with identical string in each row of the descript column. (I put in some special characters just to push it through the escape function for html. It is displaying the text correctly.)
The page has one report region (plsql below).
The page template is stripped down.
My local results are identical to the otn hosted workspace.
I did dump the table in xml format and displayed the dump file in browser without a problem, so I'm missing something in the code.

Issue with format: date dd-MMM-yyyy - First letter lower instead of capital

Hi colleagues,
I am facing a problem using: <?format-date:FIELD_NAME;’dd-MMM-yyyy’;'UTC'?> on my RTF template.
When the report run on English it retrieves: Apr, Jun, ...
but in French it retrieves: apr, jun.
The client wants the first letter of the month in capital letter I thought that MMM is the format to manage it...
I am using XML Publisher with PeopleSoft.
The template is in French and using bursting I create the report in different language depending on some parameters.
When I preview the template everything is ok.
Does anyone knows where is the Abbreviate Name of the Month comes from?
Thanks in advance,
Juan Diego

Hi Juan
It ought to be returning 'Arv' not 'apr' in French right?
It might be an issue with the i18n library that is being shipped. I would suggest logging a service request with support for some help.

Problem with the date conversion

Hi Friends,
i am facing the problem with the date conversion, Actuall my requirement is to pass the date to the screen based on the user setting roles(SU01).
I have fetched the user setting date format by using the funciton module SUSR_GET_USER_DEFAULTS, The function module picks the exact user date setting (Like as MM/DD/YYYY, MM.DD.YYYY, DD.MM.YY).
After that i have implemented the FORMAT_DATE_4_OUTPUT funciton module for converting of the user role setting date format into system date format.
for the english language case the funciton module FORMAT_DATE_4_OUTPUT works fine but the funciton module not supported for other languages
Can you please provide the Function Moudle for user setting date conversion.
The funciton module is most important for us,
Thanks

UNIQUE Problem in pulling DATA from DATA base table to internal table

Dear Experts,
I am new to ABAP. I have a very basic question but looks a quite puzzling one to me. Hemnce I am posting it here.
I am facing an unique problem in pulling data from database table and populating that data into internal table for further use.
The data in the database table "Zlt_mita" with fields M1 (Employee Name, Type: Char20) and M2 (Employee Code, Type Char7) are:
Plz refer the screenshot in the attached file:
My Code:
1) When I try to pull data from Dbase table by taking M2 as parameter.
     This code is succcessful and I am able to populate data in internal table it_dat.
TYPES: Begin Of ty_DAT,
                 M1   TYPE Zlt_mita-M1,
                 M2   TYPE ZLT_mita-M2,
             END OF ty_DAT.
DATA: it_dat        TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_dat with header line,
          wa_dat      TYPE   ty_dat.
PARAMETERS: p_mitar    TYPE Zlt_Mita-M2.
SELECT           M1
                       M2
        FROM     ZLt_mita
        INTO       TABLE it_dat
        Where     M2 = p_mitar.
Loop at it_dat into wa_dat.
   WRITE:/2 wa_dat-M1,
              10 wa_dat-M2.
ENDLOOP.
2) When I try to pull data from Dbase table by taking M1 as parameter.
     This code is NOT succcessful and I am NOT able to populate data in internal table it_dat.
TYPES: Begin Of ty_DAT,
                 M1   TYPE Zlt_mita-M1,
                 M2   TYPE ZLT_mita-M2,
             END OF ty_DAT.
DATA: it_dat        TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_dat with header line,
           wa_dat      TYPE   ty_dat.
PARAMETERS:    P_Mita    TYPE   ZLT_Mita-M1.
SELECT           M1
                       M2
        FROM     ZLt_mita
        INTO       TABLE it_dat
        Where     M1 = P_Mita.
Loop at it_dat into wa_dat.
   WRITE:/2 wa_dat-M1,
             10 wa_dat-M2.
ENDLOOP.
Why is this happening when both M1 and M2 are Type Character fields.
Looking forward for your replies.
Regards
Chandan Kumar

Hi Chandan ,
Database fetch is case sensitive ,So u need to give exact format in where condition.
Make your parameter and database in same case so that you need not worry about case sensitivity .
Check the lowecase check box in the domain .
Then declare your parameter
PARAMETERS:
P_Mita
TYPE   ZLT_Mita-M1 LOWER CASE .
You can do the vice versa also by unchecking lowercase and giving Upper case instead of lower in parameter declartion .
Regards ,
