Query records using a date DD-MON-YYYY in Forms 6i and 10g

In Forms 6i, I can query records by entering >20-dec-2006 in a date field which has length of 12 with a date format mask DD-MON-YYYY in date item property. Once this form is converted to 10g, I can only enter >2-dec-2006 for querying. If trying to enter the >20-dec-2006, then, it becomes >20-dec-200 and have no record found. Although I have the date length increased to 20, the result stays the same: can't enter 2 digits for day.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Appreciate your help. The date field has a format mask of DD-MON-YYYY. By entering >2-dec-2005 it will automatically be displayed as >2-DEC-2005 in Forms 6i or 10g. Also, the query property has case insensitive checked as Yes. The problem is with 10g, I can not enter anything at the 12th position. I can enter the date up to the 11th position >20-dec-200. In Forms 6i, this is not a problem. Thanks.

I haven"t used the data on my phone for 2 month and I'm still getting a big bill why?

I didn't use the data for 2 month on my phone and I still have to pay a big bill. This is the third big bill I have to pay. I deleted all the apps and turned of data and I still have to pay a big bill over what I was paying why?

Berzie,
I understand how a large bill can be unexpected and unwanted. Does the bill advise as to the reason the bill is higher? Does it say how much data you went over on your plan? What plan are you currently on?

Occasional ora-6502 using forms 6i and 10g

Hi all.
We have been experiencing some weird and unexpected ora-6502 errors in some of our forms 6i modules running against 10g (rel 1 or 2).
Forms modules are correctly functioning and for some reason, one day an ora-6502 error suddenly pops up.
Now the weirdest thing is that after you put some messages on the trigger, so you can track down where the error is coming from, it disappears.
I know that this may sound hard to believe, but it has happened several times. All we do is put some message built in, recompile all, and the error is gone (for a while).
So my questions are:
- Is this a known issue beween forms 6i and 10g Db?.
- Is there a patch on Metalink ( we use Forms [32 bits] Versión 6.0.8.26.0 (Producción))
- A workaround?
and most important
- Have anyone been exposed to a similar situation?
Regards, Luis ...!

Now the weirdest thing is that after you put some messages on the trigger, so you can track down where the error is coming from, it disappears.Sounds like the form has not been "clean compiled" against the server on which it is running. Try a "Compile All", which causes all previously compiled program units to be compiled fresh.
Or even better, clean out all the compiled code from your fmb before compiling the fmb on the server where it runs.
See this topic: Re: Why does this happen - find ';', replace with ';'?

Retrieving records using SQL Date Queries

Hello,
I am using Lab Windows CVI 8.5 and also SQL TOolkit for my project. I am using DBMapColumnToChar function for mapping Date to the database. And for retrieving records I am using SQL Query as follows:
SELECT * FROM DBTable WHERE DATE_TABLE BETWEEN '%s' AND '%s'",cCurrentDate,cCurrentDate
I have given a drop down for selecting dates.
When I execute the query I am not getting the selected date values an instead I am getting some records for which the dates aren't selected...
Quick help needed for this..Thanks in advance

Depending on the database, the date/time structure can be completely different from the structure in CVI. CVI uses the Windows format for time(), that is the number of seconds since 1900. The tm struct can break this apart into a date and time structure that is usable.
I am using MS Access for the databases and SQL toolkit. I finally ended up replace the date field with an INT field format, and then store the CVI time (gotten with time()) as an INT value.
Easy then to get a search range, store it a tm struct and then convert with mktime() to a calendar time to search with.
Hope this helps. The date/time thing is a never ending struggle.

9i Forms Challenge! Query records from a data block based on this view

According to Oracle Support, it is not unusual that complicated views like the one shown below fail to work in Forms. They recommend that I "try using a When-validate trigger" to solve the problem. I would be grateful if someone could show me how. It would also be helpful if someone could explain why Forms would have a problem querying such a view in the first place.
Thanks very much!

val NUMBER

INSERT INTO t VALUES ( 1, 'B', 11 );
INSERT INTO t VALUES ( 2, 'A', 12 );
INSERT INTO t VALUES ( 2, 'B', 13 );
INSERT INTO t VALUES ( 3, 'A', 14 );
|| This view produces an ORA-01403 no data found error

Steve,
Your suggestion to put the view definition into the tablename field of the forms properties sheet was fruitful.
Instead of the ORA-01403 error (No data found), I get ORA-24347 (Warning of a NULL column in an aggregate function). This error led me to discover bug 2457121, filed 11-Jul-2002, through Metalink. This bug is reported to only be a problem in Forms 9.0.2.7. It is reported to be fixed in Forms version 9.0.2.12.
Thanks for your interest and help.

Date Field (MON-YYYY)

Can somebody help me to display and enter in date field like MON-YYYY.So it will save also like that in database.

User,
What is your name?
Dates are not stored like that in the database. Dates in the database store both date and time with accuracy up to seconds. You can "truncate" a date field to fit your needs and then format it when you need to display it. In your example you only need accuracy up to the month so you could store a date as TRUNC(SYSDATE, 'MONTH'). Note that this would be saved as 01-FEB-09 12:00 AM.
However, TRUNC is not needed if you create a date without that accuracy to begin with as in TO_DATE('FEB-2009','MON-YYYY'), this would be the same as above.

Adding New Records Using BPC Data Manager

Hi All,
Thanks for reading my post.
I have a requirement in which file format is as given below
Account|Category|Time|RptCurrency|Amount|Quantity
I am able to upload Amount into my application, I need to update Quantity into another account. I have tried options using *NEWCOL(A) with combinations of with and without Header file format. In case of without header my Transformation is as following:
============================================================
*OPTIONS
FORMAT = DELIMITED
HEADER = NO
DELIMITER =
SKIP = 0
SKIPIF =
CREDITNEGATIVE=NO
VALIDATE_RECORDS=YES
*MAPPING
ACCOUNT = *COL(1)
CATEGORY = *COL(2)
DATASRC = *COL(3)
ENTITY = *COL(4)
RPTCURRENCY = *COL(5)
Time=*COL(6)
AMOUNT=*COL(7)
*CONVERSION
============================================================
I need to add another Mapping to read the Quantity coming in the file but moment I do that, BPC Transformation reports error that Account dimension is already mapped and in second case when I have two columns in the file   with Header, Data manager reports error "DUPLICATE SIGNEDDATA"
I may end up having another dimension to store quantity, will appreciate your comments which can be give me some hints to fix this issue.
Regards,
Umesh

Umesh,
What you are trying to achieve is not standard possible. You have in fact two columns with measure data in it, this is not possible with some workarounds.
One possibilitie is that you create a ssis package that in fact loads in the file twice, each go with each own transformation/conversion files, the first go will then load in the amounts, the second the quantity. You have to make sure that the second go is a merge instead of a clear and replace.
Another possibilitie is that you create a ssis that first load in the delivered file in a staging table, combine the amount and quantity table, dump the records to a tempfile and than load in this file using one transformation/conversion file.
I have an example package that does the second possibilitie (never looked/used this package myself, just got it in my library), please drop me an email if you want this example.

Query Records between thwo dates in a Auto Customization Criteria

Hello all
Lets say I have following attributes in my VO
HeaderId
DocNo
TransDate
OrgId
DocStatus
DocType
I have following field in my CustomSimpleSearch (Auto Customization Criteria)
DocStatus
DocType
My Results table populated fine according to above two fields. But i want to add
"StartDate" and "EndDate" in my CustomSimpleSearch which should be matched
with "TransDate" so that query becomes
TransDate between "StartDate" and "EndDate". I mean i want to populate my records also on TransDate basis
Kindly provide me a step by step solution or any tutorial which can help me as I am very new to OAF.

What Ram said is the only option if you want to stick with the Query region. Otherwise you can look to define your own query page and the corresponding logic which will be more troublesome just to achieve your 1 requirement.

How to use OData Date filter query to filter data from OData NetWeaver Gateway Service?

Hello,
I am trying to use the OData Filter query. to filter data records from the OData Service, using Date range for filters.
Please check the below URL for the SAP's sample OData Service, with filter option.
Service Query URL :
https://sapes1.sapdevcenter.com/sap/opu/odata/sap/ZGWSAMPLE_SRV/SalesOrderCollection?$filter=CreatedAt eq DateTime
It gives out following error :->
<message xml:lang="en">'$filter ' is not a valid system query option</message>
Please let me know, if there is any mistake in the Query or is there anything that needs to be done on the
Backend Service.
Thanks & Regards,
Suraj Kumar

Hi Jitendra,
Once again, thank you for your help.
I am able to filter the records using a date range.
I am sharing the information, just in case anyone out there might need it.
The OData Filter Query for Date Range (i.e. with Two date values) will return the results only if the OData Back-end Service is modified to accommodate such filter requests.
This has to be done in ABAP.
Please refer the following links which talks more about the Back-end ABAP Service being modified to ensure that the service returns records of data, as per the date range filter query
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3170195

Hope these links are helpful for those looking for OData Date Range filter query.
Do let me know.

Display as Date Picker (DD-MON-YYYY)

Hi everyone,
can you please help me:
I want to change an item as Display as Date Picker (DD.MM.YYYY). I cannot find this mask.
Can you help me to change or can you tell me, where i could find an example?
Tahnk you and best regards
Siegwin

Note that changing the format of a Date Picker does not change the default database input/output date format. Meaning, the NLS_DATE_FORMAT (the default format used when selecting from, or writing to, the Oracle database) does not change when the date picker is changed.
The date picker format used should match the date format of the application. Meaning that if you retrieve a date from the database into a text field and it found to be in the YYYY-MM-DD format, then the date picker used should be in the YYYY-MM-DD format and if the date retrieved from the database is in the format DD-MON-RR then the Date Picker used should also be in that format.
The date picker is there to allow dates to be chosen from a calendar in a particular text format.
So, set your date picker to match your NLS DATE FORMAT setting.
Now, if you want to change the default input/output date format (which is likely your desired effect), then you want to start looking at the NLS settings in your database, the NLS settings in your DAD (reference Marvel.conf), and the NLS settings as they are affected by your Web browser Regional Settings (i.e. Language, territory). If this is the case, refer to the following postings:

Problem running Portal query using precalculated data

We are trying to use precalcualated data to run queries in our portal and are running into some issues.
We have a query with an attached template which uses the cost center group parameter (ksg) to show particular cost centers from a hierarchy created in RSH1. The query works fine from the BW menu and shows only those cost centers which it should, based on the hierarchy.
In the Reporting Agent Setting of Administrators workbench (RSA1) we created a reporting agent setting to precalcuate the data and scheduled it to run every couple of hours.
We have an ivew on our portal which runs the query with the template. If we add a data_mode parameter and set it to stored, the query seems to use the precalculated data but it seems to ignore the users ksg parameter setting and shows the entire hierarchy of cost centers on the first screen. If we scroll down to the bottom of the screen and use the down arrow to get the next set of rows, the next screen show the data for only our cost centers based on our ksg parameter setting.
However, if we change the data_mode parameter setting to u2018newu2019 the query works as it should and we see the correct cost centers, and not all the ones in the hierarchy so it is going to the OLAP engine for new data and not using the precalculated data.
We have tried various combination of settings on the Parameter tab of the Change Reporting Agent Setting screen. We have specified the query name in the Cntrl Query screen. If we switch from u2018no filteringu2019 to u2018explicity through Query Rsltu2019 the process chain errors out and will not precalc the data.
Can anyone help? Thanks.

Using Oracle Data Source in SSIS using Attunity

Hi,
I am using the oracle data source in SSIS.
* Created the expression that will have query to select source column.
* I need to extract only rows having specific date. This date is a dynamic one i.e Created a variable1 which will be update by function call(return type is datetime) for time being i have assigned the
value(datetime type).
* I have created one more variable2(string type) which will extract only date(dd-mon-yyyy). Below is the query i used.
{"select cast(DATEPART(dd, @[User::Cob_Dt] )as char(2))+'-'+cast(DateName(mm,DATEPART(mm, @[User::Cob_Dt] )) as varchar(3))+'-'+cast(DATEPART( yyyy, @[User::Cob_Dt]
) as varchar(4)) "}
* In source query expression i have used the variable but it showing "as missing expression". Though i tried a lot i cant get. some one please help. Below is thquery
{select * from table_name where ud.system_date =@[User::Date]
and... }
I have tried different formats like enclosing that between quotes(shows same error), then used to_Date() in oracle again shows same error.
If i hard code the value instead of @[User::Date] means its working well.
SomeOne please help me why that error is showing. I cant able to figure out. trying for whole day. PLEASE.
Thanks,

If the latter, what happens when you preview your expression?
