Problem with reading English UK date format in Excel

When I build and debug the rulebase I get the following error: Error in rulebase: "Cannot perform comparison expression on right expression with type number".
The actual problem is that it does not read the date correctly in Excel. I have got the following date comparison >=31-09-2011 in excel. Instead of reading 31st September 2011 it tries to reed as 9th of the 31month 2011...
I have set all language and location, region settings to English United Kingdom (dd/MM/yyyy), United Kingdom but it seems it does not help. In Excel I have set English UK as well.
OPM version: 10.1.0.27
Windows 7
MS Office 7
I had this problem previously but I resolved by changing language or location setting I think, or language for non-Unicode programs. I cannot remember exactly. But this time it seems it does not work. Reinstalling does not work either.
Can anybody help with this?
What settings OPM uses to read the date?
Thank you!

Jasmine, you are right 31-09-2011 is a wrong date, I just typed any date as an example and didn't realize that it is an impossible date . We use many dates in Excel in a format dd-MM-yyyy (we do not type in date in runtime).
In the link you have sent it says that "Formatted attribute values based on rulebase region are used".
Date:
" if your region was set to the United States you would see the following: MM-dd-yy"
"Region set to Australia, which includes the date format dd/MM/yy
Region in our project is set to United Kingdom so the date format should be dd-MM-yyyy.
I have checked that OPM Project Properties Language is set to English (UK) so it should be fine.
The strange thing is that it works fine on other laptops - the date 03-09-2011 is red as 3 September 2011, but on my laptop it is red as 9 March 2011.
When it comes to read the date 30-09-2011, on other laptops is red as 30 September 2011, but on mine cannot make a date as there is no month number 30 so it throws the error "Cannot perform comparison expression on right expression with type number"... What actually happens is that on my laptop OPM reads the dates from Excel in American format.
As I wrote earlier, It was working fine at my laptop as well before reinstalling Windows. I had this problem long time ago again but I was able to resolve it by changing language,region settings in Windows I think.
Now it seems like I have got the same language,region settings in Windows as I had before, my colleagues got the same language, region settings on their machines as well.
Iit seems like dd/MM/yyyy is red fine (UK format), but the format dd-MM-yyyy is red in American format...
What settings should be set in Windows or Excel or maybe somewhere else OPM to read the date from Excel in English UK format dd-MM-yyyy?

  • Problem with "Save as Adobe PDF format" in Excel and Word

    Hi
    When I use printing zone in Excel and make a «Save as Adobe PDF format» (menu File / Save as Adobe PDF), the first save is well done. But when I make it a second time, what's not in the printing zone is printing in the document.
    I have also problem with the «Save as Adobe PDF format» in Word. The images superposition are not well print.
    I'm using Windows 7 in french, Office 2010 french and Adobe Acrobat XI standard. All is in the latest version.
    Thanks

    The Save As PDF feature in Office2008 Call up a PDF  Creator similar to the AdobePDF Print Driver. whch OX.6 can't use.
    To create Pdf you have to use method used:
    http://indesignsecrets.com/acrobats-adobe-pdf-printer-replaced-in-snow-leopard.php
    Not before you attempt to use this method if  Rossetta is not installed. pop in your Systems DVD and install Rosetta. Then follow directions to install the Adobe Quality PDF Automator Script which will show up in the Print Menu. Click on Print > then click PDF. Then Click on Adobe quality PDF.  AS for setting up Job options and other details Supposedly your suppose to  have access. But I have no idea.
    First thing Rosetta should be installed out of the box. and Second Adobe should install this Script from their installer. So their should be no intervention from the user. it should just work. Early report when OSX.6 first came out almost no one was able to get this to work. and I see periodic reports that people still can't get it tork and they have to to resort to saving as .ps files then droping on distiller.
    Good luck.

  • Problem with control hints and date formatting

    Hi,
    I have a Date attribute with a control hint 'dd.MM.yyyy' in my EO. When the user browse through the data all date values have 4 digits. But when a lazy user changes a date value to e.g. 12.12.04, the new value is stored as 12.12.0004. This is correct Java behavior.
    When I change my control hint to 'dd.MM.yy', the lazy user can enter 12.12.04, which is stored as 12.12.2004. Great, but the user want to see a 4-digit year.
    My problem is that the customer wants to enter only 2 digits for the year but the application must render the date with 4 digits.
    How can I configure ADF to solve my problem?
    Does Domains help? Is there a general switch in Java or ADF witch converts 12.12.04 to 12.12.2004?
    Any hints are welcome.
    Thanks,
    Markus

    For your 2nd problem, you can create a field of type string (create a data type which has domain STRING), which has unlimited lenght. However, you can only have 3 of these fields in your table.
    I think this will solve the # problem too.

  • [SOLVED!] On USB drives, problems with non-English chars and HAL

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with non-English caracters (áãàçéẽê...) on files stored on my USB drive.
    On Windows they're created with the correct name. But on Linux the files have the non-English characteres replaced by '?' and are not accessible.
    If I manuallly mount the drives using 'mount -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdisk' the characters are OK, so I think I just need to get HAL to pass the correct parameters to mount. However I don't know how to do that, and haven't found any good solution.
    I tried to build a custom kernel setting the default charset as UTF-8 and it didn't work.
    Any ideas? I'm using x86-64, HAL 0.5.13-3 and my locale is pt-BR.UTF-8.
    Thanks!
    EDIT: Actually, this is not a HAL problem, but a problem with 'exo'. For the solution, I edited /etc/xdg/xfce4/mount.rc and added iocharset=utf8 to the [vfat] category.

    I don't use Thunar presently, but I looked in the Thunar Volume Manager doc and I didn't find anything to change the mount options of removable drives. I am not quite sure if it's possible or not. Maybe someone using it can tell for sure.
    But if it is not possible to change the mount options, a possible solution is to disable the Thunar Volume Manager plugin and to use something else more configurable to manage the automount function.
    Personally I use the halevt package from AUR which uses configuration files in the xml format.
    It's not so easy to use but is highly configurable.
    But there exists other tools also.
    I can help you with halevt if you choose that way...

  • I am facing a Problem with reading images from database

    Hi everybody..
    any help will be most appreciated, I am facing problem with reading images from database. I am pasting my code...

                                pc1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(mstream);
    It says Parameter not Valid... i am reading all the images from database

    I agree with Viorel. You are getting the error because the format of the data is incorrect probably because the data was modify. It may not be the reading of the database the is incorrect, but the application that wrote the data into the database. You need
    to compare the imgg array data with the data before it was written to the database to see if the data matches.  I usually start by comparing the number of bytes which is easier to check then compare the actual to isolate which function is changing the
    byte count.
    An image is binary data.  The standard VS methods for reading and writing data (usually stream classes) default to ASCII encoding which will corrupt binary data.  The solution usually is to use UTF8 encoding instead of the default ascii encoding. 
    Ascii encoding with stream often aligns the data and adds extra null bytes to the end of the data which can produce these type errors.

  • Problems with the O2 blackberry data package on my Curve 3G.

    I have already informed O2 about this but they claim that I should be used the blackberry support services, but nothing there helps me!
    I got my Blackberry Curve 3G on September 9th this year and I put on the Blackberry Data Package bolt-on onto my phone on September 16th. I then received a text to say they've taken £5 from my credit and it will be up and running in the next 24 hours. Its now September 19th and my BBM is not working at all and I am extremely upset with the services and behaviour I have received from both O2 and Blackberry.
    Is there any way you can help? If this fails, I shall be forced to go back to the shop from where I got my Blackberry from and ask for their help.
    Many thanks, Jade.

  • Problem with READ Statement in the field routine of the Transformation

    Hi,
    I have problem with read statement with binary search in the field routine of the transformation.
    read statement is working well when i was checked in the debugging mode, it's not working properly for the bulk load in the background. below are the steps i have implemented in my requirement.
    1. I selected the record from the lookuo DSO into one internal table for all entried in source_packeage.
    2.i have read same internal table in the field routine for each source_package entry and i am setting the flag for that field .
    Code in the start routine
    select source accno end_dt acctp from zcam_o11
    into table it_zcam
    for all entries in source_package
    where source = source_package-source
         and accno = source_package-accno.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
    delete it_zcam where acctp <> 3.
    delete it_zcam where end_dt initial.
    sort it_zcam by surce accno.
    endif.
    field routine code:
    read table it_zcam with key source = source_package-source
                                                 accno  = source_package-accno
                                                 binary search
                                                 transportin no fields.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
    RESULT  = 'Y'.
    else.
    RESULT = 'N'.
    endif.
    this piece of code exist in the other model there its working fine.when comes to my code it's not working properly, but when i debug the transformation it's working fine for those accno.
    the problem is when i do full load the code is not working properly and populating the wrong value in the RESULT field.
    this field i am using in the report filter.
    please let me know if anybody has the soluton or reason for this strage behaviour.
    thanks,
    Rahim.

    i suppose the below is not the actual code. active table of dso would be /bic/azcam_o1100...
    1. is the key of zcam_o11 source and accno ?
    2. you need to get the sortout of if endif (see code below)
    select source accno end_dt acctp from zcam_o11
    into table it_zcam
    for all entries in source_package
    where source = source_package-source
    and accno = source_package-accno.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
    delete it_zcam where acctp 3.
    delete it_zcam where end_dt initial.
    endif.
    sort it_zcam by surce accno.
    field routine code:
    read table it_zcam with key source = source_package-source
    accno = source_package-accno
    binary search
    transportin no fields.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
    RESULT = 'Y'.
    else.
    RESULT = 'N'.

    I have been a loyal customer for years and have a hot spot because internet options are very limited in our rural area.  I have stayed with 10G since the beginning.  Most months I don't use the 10G.  Verizon has no problem with me paying for Data I don't use.  This month my daughter comes home from College and she accidentally uses 24G.....14 over get blind sided with $140.00 in overages.  I called Verizon today......stopped in to the store today......My neighbor told me they waved charges for her one time.  Lots of charges.....But I'm am getting no help.  Not even an offer of a payment plan to help me out.  I went back just 6 months and I have over paid for 19G.....Seems like they would like to help out their loyal customers!!!!     Does anybody have any suggestions on how to deal with them?   We are not wealthy....or I would just pay this and walk away......

    There is a big misconception in what customers believe a cell carrier is obligated to do.
    You pay a set price to use up to that amount of xx data. It makes no difference if you use it to the paid limit or way under. Its like peace of mind when you don't have to worry about a data counter.
    Your daughter used the data, your plan is quite clear of what overage charges are. Why should or would Verizon wireless just forgive the charges because you are a customer? Your daughter used the data, get the money from her. That is the responsible thing to do.
    There is no "I have been a loyal customer so please remove the $120, or $250, or $2,000.00 since I did not mean to use it"
    Your electric company, or gas company or any other company does not remove valid charges. Why should Verizon wireless?
    Just pay the invoice and don't think you are being mistreated because Verizon is a business and not a charity.
    Good Luck

  • Date format in excel

    hi all,
    i am using form6i.
    i am writing data into excel sheet(using ole2 package). i have one date column among them. The date format in excel should be in 'DD/MM/YYYY'.
    In my form i have date format like 'YYYY/MM/MM HH:MI:SS'. so i have converted that column using
    TO_CHAR(TRUNC(:date_col),'DD/MM/YYYY').So i am getting output in the format what i need,but still in excel i am seeing data format as 'DD-MM-YY'.
    is any conversion is required while writing into excel?
    but when i set the excel data format should be in 'DD-MON-YYYY'
    i am getting output as '26-JAN-10' but i want output in excel like
    '26/JAN/2010'.
    Please help.
    Thanks..
    Edited by: GD on Nov 26, 2011 8:21 PM

    If you want the field to be treated like a DATE in excel, you have to set the column-format to DATE and apply the appropiate Format. To get the needed ole-statements, start the macro-recorder, do the changes in excel and then check whats written in the macro and convert it to OLE.
    If the field should only be shown as a date, you can put a ' in fornt of the date-value.

    DAT File
    Wayne Gretzky 99 CAN 8/13/87 R 120 222
    Joe Sakic 19 CAN 9/30/77 L 123 210These are all in early development, we seem to have the idea down but keep getting the odd FileNotFound exception when making an object of the ImportHockeyPlayers class with the parameter of the DAT file.
    We might even be on the wrong track with an easier way to do this. To give you an idea of what we want to do...read from the file and be able to pretty much plug in al lthe players into a GUI with a list of the all the players.
    Thanks for your time.

    Thanks for the tip on the date format...good to
    know.
    public static void main(String[] args)
    GUI gui = new GUI();
    ImportHockeyPlayers ihp = new
    ImportHockeyPlayers("HockeyPlayers.dat");
    }It's just being called in the main.
    Throws this error:
    GUI.java:39: unreported exception
    java.io.FileNotFoundException; must be caught or
    declared to be thrown
    ImportHockeyPlayers ihp = new
    ImportHockeyPlayers("HockeyPlayers.dat");
    ^This error is simply telling you that an exception may occur so you must enclose it in a try catch block or change the main method to throw the exception as follows
    public static void main(String[] args) throws  
                          java.io.FileNotFoundException {
         GUI gui = new GUI();
         ImportHockeyPlayers ihp = new
         ImportHockeyPlayers("HockeyPlayers.dat");
    }or
    public static void main(String[] args) {
         GUI gui = new GUI();
         try {
              ImportHockeyPlayers ihp = new
              ImportHockeyPlayers("HockeyPlayers.dat");
         catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
              System.out.println("error, file not found");
    }I would reccomend the second approch, it will be more helpful in debugging, also make sure that the capitalization of "HockeyPlayers.dat" is correct
    hope that helps
