Problem with current date field...

I want to display the current date and time, but when I change the data format in the binding tab to "Date and Time" and assign a pattern that includes date and time, all I get is the current date, NOT the time. TIA!

I have tried applying these scripts in the initialize event to all manner of objects, text field objects, date/time objects, numeric objects, current date objects, and it shows nothing. If I could just edit the date/time format of the current date object when it is set to "Runtime Property-Current Date/Time" I MIGHT be able to use it. I really appreciate your help thus far. Would it be possible for you to share a pdf file that you've made where this works so I might disect it? No matter what pattern I specify in the "Field" palette, it shows it's own formatting.
UPDATE: I did go back after trying it a few times to change the value after Page1 to match the name of my field.
UPDATE 2: Here is a link to what I've done. Take a look and let me know what I'm doing wrong, or change it and share it back. Thanks so much for your help!!!

I have found 3 more variants. You can write below code on initialize event. It will automatically display the current data & time during the preview
1. xfa.form.form1.Page1.TextField1.rawValue
= util.printd("dd.mm.yyyy HH:MM", new Date());
2. xfa.form.form1.Page1.TextField2.rawValue = util.printd("dddd d. mmmm yyyy HH:MM ", new Date());
3. xfa.form.form1.Page1.TextField3.rawValue = util.printd("date{EEEE, D. MMMM YYYY} time(de){HH:MM:SS Z}", new Date(), true);
Hope this helps,

Is anyone else having problems with Apertures Date fields?

After experiencing a sysems failure I began restoring my images from backups. I have had no end of problems with Image dates. I have come to the determination that Aperture is NOT using either the "Create Date" or "DateTimeOriginal" as the image "Date" or "Date Created" data if other fields have other dates.
Here is a clip from my image metadata using exiftool:
File Modification Date/Time     : 2012:09:23 19:53:15-04:00
File Access Date/Time           : 2013:01:16 11:34:38-05:00
File Inode Change Date/Time     : 2013:01:16 11:31:32-05:00
Create Date                          : 2006:02:20 11:51:12.10
Date/Time Original              : 2006:02:20 16:51:12.10
Modify Date                          : 2006:02:20 11:51:12.10
And here is what Aperture utilized on import
Date:                               9/23/12 7:53:15 PM EDT
Date Created                         9/23/2012 7:53:15 PM
So Aperture utlized the File Modification Date/Time as the Create Date despite that the fact that the Create Date field is present and is properly formatted in the original image.
According to the Aperture mapping table, this shouldn't be happening.
Now, before someone recommends that I use Aperture's Date Adjust utility - I'm talking about slightly over 30,000 images. Editing images one at a time, or in blocks when you don't know what field Aperture is using as the Create Date would require individual inspection of each image followed by manual adjustment of each image. That approach isn't acceptable.

Hmm ok, let me restate the issue then, I thought I was clear. I could have pointed out in my original post however, that only the EXIF and IPTC date fields were displayed from the metadata dump.
The data set presented in my first post is the EXIF dataset from the file which clearly shows the image was captured by digital camera at
Create Date                          : 2006:02:20 11:51:12.10
Date/Time Original              : 2006:02:20 16:51:12.10
(The delta of 5 hours is the result of Zulu versus local time offset)
But, when I ingested it into Aperture, the import routine utilized the IPTC field
File Modification Date/Time     : 2012:09:23 19:53:15-04:00
which is updated by the OS whenever you move the file around outside of Aperture. (a number of image data fields are updated by the OS - filename for example is another.). This resulted in the image date fields being stamped in Aperture as:
Date:                               9/23/12 7:53:15 PM EDT
Date Created                         9/23/2012 7:53:15 PM
Which obviously came form the File Modification Date/Time field and not (either) the Create Date or Date/Time Original fields.

Problem with the date field in Table Control

I have created a table control in my module programming. One of the column in the table control is a date field which is I/O field.
Now if I enter a value in date field column and hit enter the date field is reset. I dont want the field to get reset and accept valid date field.
I have set type of the column as DATS and I havent used any dictionary fields. The column is from the internal table in the program.
Please suggest

In your PAI, in the LOOP AT <itab> did you
- check date validity
- update internal table
* Sample
LOOP AT itab.
FIELD itab-field MODULE checkfield.
MODULE updateitab.
ENDLOOP.

Problem with the "date" field

Which is the correct way to insert a date in the attribute specified with a "date" type of a table? For example: 02-03-1999, 02-mar-1999, 02/03/1999......or what else?
Thank you.

Hi,
Date can be in ay formats you had mentioned.
You can use to_date or to_char functions to
manipulate the date in the way you wanted.

Embedding a "Current Date" field in a pdf document

To assure people work to the latest authorized version of a procedure, we let them access a protected pdf version on our Intranet. They can print a copy for use, but the copy is valid ONLY for the date printed, which is shown in the footer of each page. The "current date" field is updated when the document is opened by way of a Java script that reads:
var f = this.getField("Today");
f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
(Obviously, "Today" is the field's name.)
If a person were to open the same document three days later, that later date would be embedded.
All this worked well when we were using Acrobat 5 and Reader 5. Now, to keep up with the times, we've upgraded to Acrobat 8 and Reader 8 on many PCs. However, the "current date" field still works for those still using Reader 5 but doesn't work for those using Reader 8.
What I'm wondering is whether the scripting has changed for Acrobat 8. I can't find anything in the Acrobat support documents for Java scripting, but I may not know what I'm looking at.
Thanks,
Jerry Holt
[email protected]

The problem has been solved!!!
The form field, the accompanying script, and most documents' security were set up in Adobe 4.0. However, in Adobe Reader 7 or higher, "no changes" means "no changes," so the form field script was blocked.
By setting Compatibility to "Acrobat 7.0 or greater," I could choose the "Change Allowed" option: Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields.
Then, all I needed to do was to confirm that the JavaScript "Today" was still applied, and the current date was immediately filled in.
Thanks for the questions and suggestions.

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....

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

Current Date Field question

Hello
I'm a novice user of LiveCycle and I'm trying to see if there's a solution for this issue we've come across.
We've used LiveCycle to redesign human resource/payroll forms in our organization. One of the items we use is the current date field, which automatically populates to today's date once opened. When users complete forms, we encourage them to save an electronic copy of the form to their own drive in case they need to retrieve it at a later date. The problem here is that the current date field will not stay static once filled out and saved.
For example, if a dept completes a form on 12/1/10, saves it, but then needs to retrieve it later for some reason, we need the current date field to stay as the date the form was originally filled out (12/1/10). If they retrieve the form later on say 2/15/10, that particular date field will read the new date. Is this possible?
Thanks for any help!

Test if the field is null before assigning the current date.
// form1.page1.currentDate::ready:layout - (FormCalc, client)
if (this.isNull) then
$.rawValue = Concat(Num2Date(Date(), "MM/DD/YYYY"))
endif

PSP: problems with viewing data

Hello.
I'm currently working at on-line shop and have some problems with viewing data from database. When there is no much inserts to table its working very well. But after inserting all Inserts I have its acting weird.

I didnt touch any config files or something else. Only created new User and DAD.
any ideas what should I do to fix that ??
thnx in advice

Hello,
My guess is that you are speaking about PLSQL Server Pages (PSP), and the PLSQL Web Toolkit.
This is why I do not think that you will have lot of answer since this forum is targeted toward Web Services developer (XML, SOAP, and so on)
I am inviting you to ask your question on the general Oracle Application Server - General or PLSQL forums.

How to fill a prompt in webi with current date?

A webi report is being generated on BEx Query.
IN BEx query variables are defined for some date fields to prefill them with current date.
Foe ex. there is license start date. For this field variable is defined so that in variable screen License start date is automatically filled with greater than or equal to current date(which is system date). WHich is a mandatory variable.
On BO side, a webi report is being developed on a Universe (based on this BEx query).
When the webi report is run, the license start date(mandatory variable in BEx) is automatically prompted, but date is not getting prefiiled with current date.
How to prefill this prompt with current date?
the prompt should be like
LIcense start date >= <current date>

Hi,
Yes, it isn't possible to reference anything like 'Current Date' in the universe (like you would with a SQL data source).
The solution I have seen recently goes like this, I don't know the exact details (so I might have some terminology wrong), but someone with ABAP skills should get what I mean.
Assuming you want to filter on 0CALDAY.
In ABAP, create a customer EXIT that calculates the current date as a number (so today might be 40651). Do the same for 0CALDAY.
In the BEx create a formula variable that references each of those, then a Formula Key Figure (I forget the exact name of them) that's just the current day number minus the 0CALDAY number. This gives you the 'age' of that row of data.
Your Webi report can then have a built in filter (or prompt with a default value) of, say Age <= 30. The report can be scheduled and will always run with the last 30 day's data.
We actually did the customer exists to show the 'age' in months.
Sorry I can't explain it any better, but it's working great for us.
Hope that helps.

Can a user override the Current Date field?

I have a simple form with a Current Date field. Today's date is automatically populated in this field, but I would like to give users the option to enter a different date in the field. There is a value called "Calculated - User Can Override" but this doesn't appear to work.

When I first set up this field I used code I found on this forum that went in the 'layout:ready' area. I've now removed it and used the code I found in your file in 'calculate'. The date field is now functioning properly.
Thank you.

Problem with universal data cleanse

I have problem with universal data cleanse.
I am using DS 3.2.x (12.2.2).

Dictionary Entry:

Secondary information:

I wanted to replace word u201CBOu201D with the standard words u201CBusiness Objectu201D, but I have result: there is "BO" in the extra field,
there are "null" in others fields.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for all help!
P.S. I don't have cleansing packages installer.

There seem to be a couple of things going on here:
1. If you are using your custom dictionaries, then you have to map your input to MULTILINE1 and enable the custom parsers - just something to be aware of
2. You mentioned that you made some changes to the existing dictionary and you are not seeing any changes. To be clear, do you have different TEST and PRODUCTION environments? Or is it the same environment except that you have a local DS repository and for the dictionary you are pointing to another repository (using Dictionary --> Manage Connections)?
Having the dictionaries on a different repository should not make any difference as long as you point to them in your designer using the Dictionary --> Manage Connection option.
So I think there may be some issue with your job setup and/or dictionary values need to be looked at. You can start by adding another output field named "EXTRA" to see whether or not your data is getting parsed at all. Also, make sure the entry "CLEANME" is classified as FIRM_NAME_ALONE in the dictionary and that you are selecting the correct dictionary name in the Datacleanse Transform options.
