Prompt in dd/mm/yyyy format

Hi,
I need to accept data from user in dd/mm/yyyy format, but as of now the default format what the prompt is taking is mm/dd/yyyy.
Considering the prompt as 'Date from'. Kindly help me out with the code for dd/mm/yyyy.
As of now the query is MRK.Data.From_Date=@Prompt('Date from','D',,,).
Thanks.
Jim

Hi,
The date format of the prompt is controlled by a prm file on your Busienss Objects server
Open your universe, parameters and test connection
Open details - locate PRM file being used
Go to Business Objects Server
Open PRM file using notepad
Locate line below and edit date to required format
<Parameter Name="USER_INPUT_DATE_FORMAT">{\d 'yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss'}</Parameter>
Re-start connection server
Test your date prompt....

  • Date prompt to displayed in header&Format date format in header MM/DD/YYYY

    we have a date prompt. Based on the date selection on prompt, it has to be appeared on the Report header. Actually RELEASED_DATE is timestamp format. we need to format this to dispaly only MM/DD/YYYY format in Report header section.
    Report Name : <?$RELEASED_DATE?>
    We are displaying the same RELEASED_DATE with timestamp in Report section
    <?param@begin:CRSU_RELEASED_DATE?>

    can you paste the timestamp being displayed?
    You can use, format-date function or other, but its all based on the data you have for DATE.

  • Date validation in "DD-MON-YYYY" Format,

    Hi ,
    I have created a textbox with date picker as (dd-mon-yyyy) .
    Now i want to create a validation on it for the format (dd-mon-yyyy) .
    I have created a pl/sql code with type "function returning error text".
    Begin
    If :P4_END_DATE IS NOT NULL THEN
    if :P4_END_DATE != to_date(:P4_END_DATE ,'DD-MON-YYYY') then
    return 'END DATE should be in "DD-MON-YYYY" Format';
    end if;
    END IF;
    End;
    When i type in like 20-NOV-08 it gives error as 'START DATE should be in "DD-MON-YYYY" Format',
    but when i change month like 20-11-2008 , it actually gives error
    ORA-01843: not a valid month
    Error ERR-1024 Unable to run "function body returning text" validation.

    Error ERR-1024 Unable to run "function body returning text" validation.The call to 'to_date' is raising an exception when it tries to convert your date, standard PL/SQL exception handling takes over and the rest of your code is ignored.
    You could try:
    declare
    pragma exception_init(invalid_date,-01830);
    l_dummy date;
    Begin
    If :P4_END_DATE IS NOT NULL THEN
    l_dummy := to_date(:P4_END_DATE ,'DD-MON-YYYY') then
    END IF;
    exception
    when invalid_date then
    return 'END DATE should be in "DD-MON-YYYY" Format';
    End;
    but even that will not check that the user actually used your desired format - the to_date can be quite flexible e.g. accepting separators other than the '-' that you have declared. In fact, the above would only catch the user entering a 'date' that is shorter than the format string - changing the 'invalid_date' for 'others' would capture more (all!) exceptions.
    You probably want to look at using regular expressions to perform the format validation.

    Firstly, what is the source of the 10.6.4 disc? Is it the original installation disc for your MacBook, or one 'borrowed' from another computer?
    It isn't the retail version, because that's 10.6.3.
    Assuming it's the correct disc (i.e. the one that shipped with your Mac), you need to boot from it again.
    OK the language page.
    From the installer screen, ignore the continue button, go to the menu bar and choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    In DU, select your internal drive in the sidebar (the top item with the makers name and serial no.).
    Run Repair Disk. If that comes up as disk OK, click the partition tab. Select the partiton from the drop-down above the graphic; 1 partiton is all you need.
    Go to the options button and ensure that the partition scheme is GUID and the file system to Mac OS Extended (Journalled). Name the partiton (usually Macintosh HD), click Apply.
    When the Macintosh HD volume appears below the drive name, quit DU and see if you can then install.
    If the screen after the language screen doesn't show the menu bar, it may be necessary to use another Mac to do the job with the MB in Firewire Target Disc Mode. If it won't boot in TDM, or the MB doesn't have FireWire then it's getting very difficult.

  • Valiadtion of date in dd.mm.yyyy format

    i have a selection screen in which i want user to enter date in dd.mm.yyyy format only.how can i validate that.any FM.
    i also want that date to be changed in yyyymmdd format coz i have to update that in a field which has yyyymmdd format.
    so is there any fm for this also ( to change dd.mm.yyyy to yyyymmdd).
    any pointers will help.

    Hi Govind,
    Based on the user defaults in the transaction SU01 the date will be verified based on the date format selected in the user details.
    Declare the selection screen variable as of type Sy-DATUM.
    what ever format you had entered the date in the selection screen the variable will hold the value in the format yyyymmdd.
    no need to do any format for the date.
    hope this might help you.
    regards,
    Phani.

  • Displaying date in dd/MM/yyyy format

    Hi all,
    I am having one date field .To display the date in correct format, I created a dictionary simple type of type date and entered dd/MM/yyyy in representation tab.
    I was using 2004 and it was working properly. Now I am using 2004s for the same application. The problem is when I am selecting a date , it is showing the date in MM/dd/yyyy format in first time. If I selects the date again, then it will be in dd/MM/yyyy format. How can I make the selection in dd/MM/yyyy in first time itself
    Thanks 
    Fahad Hamsa

    Hi,
       Try this:
    1. Create a simple type in the local dictionary. Call it say, CustomDateType.
    2. Set the built-in type as date.
    3. Go to the representation tab and under "External Representation" set the format to "dd/MM/yyyy".
    4. Create a context value attribute day, CustomDate and set its type to CustomDateType.
    5. Create an inputfield with id say, "DateField" and bind its value property to CustomDate.
    6. Now in your wdDoModifyView() write the following code:
    if(firstTime){
       IWDViewElement e = view.getElement("DateField");
       e.requestFocus();

  • Date display in dd-mmm-yyyy format on opening a .jsp file as .xls

    Hi,
    I am pretty new to Java and JSP, I have a problem,
    There's an application in which the contents of a .jsp are to be displayed in excel format.
    All the data are displayed in correct format except the dates.
    The dates that are in the dd-MMM-yyyy format in the .jsp's are displayed as dd-mmm-yy in the .xls file.
    How to solve this?
    Thanks in Advance!

    Maybe you need to configure that "application"? Or if you actually have access to the source code, then just take a look in it.
    Without any more details about the "application" we can't help you any much further.
    Generally, when you want to convert a Date or Calendar object to a human readable String, the SimpleDateFormat [1] is been used.

    I have a jsp page, from that i can enter values in oracle database.
    my jsp page is working, but the problem is that it can only accept the date
    dd-mmm-yyyy format. i.e 20-jun-2004, but when i enter date in dd/mm/yyyy format i.e 20/06/2004, it does not accept.
    i want to enter to do enter date in dd/mm/yyyy format in the form, and it can save the date field in database in dd-mmm-yyyy format.
