R/3 Date Conversion problem

How to convert the R/3 Date to Array.

If you are receiving a date field from R/3, please use SimpleDateFormat(class) to re-arrange your date in any fashion. Along with the method format you can just have your date in any format :
DD-MM-YYYY
MM-DD-YY
DD-MMMMM-YYYY (Month will be spelled out as text)
All you need to do is :
SimpleDateFormat sf = new SimpleDateFormat("DD/MM/YYYY");
sf.format(myDateField);
Since R/3 date conversion is usually for this reason, I mentioned the above class.

Char to Date conversion problem - again!

Hi,
in order to make date selection 'more attractive' for end users I have been tasked with presenting a text field with 'January 2010', 'February 2010' etc to the end users for their prompts.
So far so easy...
However, I then need to use the values to derive either dates, or years, or date numbers.
This all works fine during development when I am testing using a default parameter thus; -
'@{MYMONTHYEAR}{September 2010}' - which is fed into various very complex functions.
BUT - when I try to use the report in conjunction with the parameter I get; -
'The evaluation of the index 6 expression on row count -1 failed. [nQSError: 46046] Datetime value 2010/09/01 does not match the specifiied format'
However, cast('2010/09/01' as date) works fine... and convoluted as the logic of my functions is, the fundamental char to date conversion is exactly in this format.
Anyone shed any light on this, give me a guaranteed way to handle char to date conversion?
thanks,
Robert.

Hi,
I tried your workaround case when 1=2... but I still get the same error....
Not when I have the format from my default value, but when I get the value from a dashboard prompt in a page.

It does not error, but returns no data in isolation, but when when from the prompt it errors...
And the date format, if fed into a cast ('2012/09/01' as date) does not error.
Anyone help - this is really driving me mad, syntax is good - it should work!!!
thanks,
Robert.

Date conversion problem.

I use 2 adaptive RFC function with a r3 backend system:
1- Search
2- Update
The first works fine, I show the data, one of the fields is a date (with r3 Date format) binded and in the web dynpro is showed in inputfield, with a little calendar icon on the right.
I have problem with the second one. Cause I use the same inputfield for both RFC. I bind in design time with the Search RFC and for the update I pass the changed values to the 2nd RFC trought coding.
What I want is just to save in a Variable, the value of the binded UI element, with the string type I have no problem, but when I wanna save my date field in a String It say that the conversion cannot be done.
EXAMPLE:
String value1 = wdContext.currentTable_CelElement().getNumcel();
I wanna accomplish that example but With Date format. So the question would be How can I save in a Variable a Date format field of R3.
"?" value2 = wdContext.currentTable_CelElement().getFecha();
Thx

Hi!
I think that this problem occurs because of different Date formats in your Web Dynpro Application: The R/3-Date format is mapped to java.sql.Date, and for your variable you probably use java.util.Date.
If so, try to use the sql.Date for your variable, too, or make a conversion like this:
java.util.Date myDate = new java.util.Date(wdContext.currentTable_CelElement().getFecha().getTime());

Thomas

String to date conversion problem

Hai braniees,
i am new to java.I have a problem in converting string to date.my code is this
dob="2/05/2005";
SimpleDateFormat sf=new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date dt=sf.parse(dob);
i this i am getting the error in the last line.the error is
" Unhandled exception type ParseException"
I am not able to getrid of this.
Thanks
anieshuk

I would advise against doing what ranjithcp suggested unless you are such a perfect programmer that you'll never get invalid data into your methods. Also what ranjithcp has failed to mention is that you'll have to put the throws instruction all over your code right up to your main method otherwise your just moving your error message up through your program.
You should always try and handle checked exceptions not throw them.

Ideas? Not really, there's nothing wrong-looking about your code, but maybe I could ask some dumb questions.
Has this code never worked, or does it usually work but occasionally this error occurs? Have you just switched to SQL Server 2005 from 2000 and the error started happening?
Does the table you are inserting to only have those 7 columns, or are there others that are getting default values? Does it contain auto-generated identity columns? Are you sure you're using the right table in the right database?

Phillips date conversion problems

Hi chaps,
I am trying to convert a CHAR7 field from a phillips date, into an Oracle date format. The following expression does not work:
SELECT TO_DATE('2006214', 'YYYYWWD') FROM dual
(gives error "ORA-01820: format code cannot appear in date input format")
However, if I try to convert the system date the other way to this format, it works:
SELECT TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'YYYYWWD') FROM dual
I am obviously missing something obvious!!? Does anyone have any ideas?
thanks in advance
Mike

Yep I had a couple of bugs, last substr should have been 7 not 6, also week 1, day 1 should be Jan 1st (I think) so I had to remove a week and a day from each.
Now I get

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> select trunc(to_date(substr(:d,1,4),'yyyy'),'y')

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

Character integrity issue after data conversion in database/JDBC

Hi
I am using oracle 9i with the following NLS setting:
NLS_LANGUAGE :AMERICANS
NLS_CHARACTERSET : UTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET :AL16UTF16
I am running on Linux with this as my environment Language:
Lang: en_US.UTF8
I am sending hindi characters in XML file (UTF-8 encoding) to my java application to be stored in the database. In my xml file, I give this encoding (ignore the double quotes, reason for putting in the quotes so that the browser will not interpret it)
"&#x928";"&#x92E";"&#x938";"&#x94D";"&#x924";"&#x947"
But the characters appeared unreadable in the database. When I use Select DUMP to check the characters encoding:
Typ=1 Len=12 CharacterSet=UTF8: 0,28,0,2e,0,38,0,4d,0,24,0,47
When I retrieve data from the database via my application, the weird characters will appear.
However, if i manually input the hindi characters into the column of the table, then the Hindi characters appear correctly. When I do a DUMP to check, this is what I get:
Typ=1 Len=12 CharacterSet=UTF8: 9,28,9,2e,9,38,9,4d,9,24,9,47
When I check the unicode chart here http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0900.pdf, the second DUMP result is correct. When I retrieve data from the database via my application, the correct hindi string appear.
I understand that in Java the encoding is in UTF-16 and Oracle JDBC will convert from UTF-16 to UTF-8 before storing in my database and vice versa. The thing that puzzles me is why correct hindi string appears on my web interface when that the same conversion is used to extract the data from the database. At first I suspect it is the conversion problem in JDBC when the UTF-16 characters get truncated to UTF-8 when I try to store the data to database. But when good data is stored in the database, the extraction seems to be correct albeit that it is going through the same conversion.
I read from several threads of this forum and also the Oracle Globalization Support article but I cannot find an answer to my question.
Can anyone help? Thanks.

A couple of checkpoints for you:
1. When you load the XML from SXMB_MONI in the test tab of message mapping it turns red..this means the constructed XML (from CC content conversion) doesnt match the one (XSD) defined in your ESR/IR. In this case you have to check again thoroughly the file content conversion fields values/field length in the sender Communication chaneel.
2. Once you rectify the error above then you can test the mapping in ESR message mapping.

Field /BIC/ZC_EMPBPM: Data conversion is necessary
Message no. UGMD418
Diagnosis
Following a change to the definition of field /BIC/ZC_EMPBPM it is necessary to convert the old data for this field before the new attributes can be activated. This arises, for example, when the following attributes have been changed:
Conversion exit
Version or time dependency of hierarchies
System Response
You cannot start the application. A data conversion is necessary first.
Procedure
Execute the necessary data conversion at the field level. To do this, press the respective button with the symbol in the hierarchical detail display at the level of field /BIC/ZC_EMPBPM. If necessary, the system will prompt you for more information in a separate dialog box.

Hi,
I quess the following should help.
Execute UCWB01 t-code, goto your data basis, in the tabstrip for assigning roles drag and drop any characteristic, then save. The system will find the change and check and regenerate data structures (that's what you need).
Then either in UCWB or UCWB02 t-code got your ConsArea and regenerate it.

Data Conversion issue

Hello I'm new to Oracle DB and still learn SQL.
I have a problem with data conversion in a CASE expression.
Example:
select ... ,
CASE column WHEN 1 THEN
select max(column)
from table
where ...
ELSE 0 END AS value,
from ...
where ...
order by ...
What I'm basically intend to do is to select a value from another table depending on the value of
a special column.
The problem now is that the
select max(column)
from table
where ...
statement in its original form selects the right value as float (e.g. 0.24)which I need.
But the same statement embedded in the CASE expression returns (e.g. 0 ) which seems to be the same result converted to an integer or something.
I tried to convert the result in the CASE expression but without success.
Does anybody know what could cause this behavior and how to fix it ?
Thanks for any help with this.

Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you have a problem, post a complete script that people can run to re-create the problem. Include CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for a little sample data if necessary. (A lot of folks show the problem using commonly available tables, such as those in the scott or hr schemas, so they don't have to post any sample data.)
if your problem involves an error message, post the complete error message you're getting, including line numbers.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using, e.g. 10.2.0.1.0.
Sorry, I can't re-create the problem.
I did something as similar as I could to what you posted:
SELECT deptno
, CASE deptno
 WHEN 10
 THEN (
 SELECT MAX (sal)
 FROM scott.emp
 WHERE deptno = d.deptno
 ELSE 0
 END AS value
, dname
FROM scott.dept d
WHERE deptno <= 30
ORDER BY deptno
;And it ran, producing this output:
` DEPTNO VALUE DNAME
 10 5000 ACCOUNTING
 20 0 RESEARCH
 30 0 SALES

Date Format problem...

Hi users,
Forte version : 2.e.2 and ForteWebSDK
Datacase : Oracle
We have a problem with a simple HTML text field which acccepts
a date. When we try to update the record with some date, the following
exception occurs:
24-Jun-1998 04:32:28 : XV01086 : Execute failed for SQL statement in
project Rap
tServices, class RaptSqlMethods, method updateActivity, methodId 104,
line 51, e
rror from database is:
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input
string
The Oracle manual says that the above exception occurs when there are
some extra characters on that field, which is not the case. In fact,
we raise our own exception for the cases like : o1-Apr-1997,
01-apr-97 etc. The correct format is 01-apr-1998.
Same date soemtimes is added to the database successfully. Waht I mean
to say that the exception deos not occur consistently.
We just conevert the String taken from the HTML field into a Forte
DateTimeData Object and send it to database. May be, the conversion
part is causing the problem. But, once again the problem is not
consistent.
Any ideas in this will be appreciated.
Thanx in advance

We had the same problem when our application first went live. The
default date format for our Oracle database is 'dd-mmm-yy' without the
time component. The default format for datatype DateTimeData is
'dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm:ss'. Since we did not want to change the default date
format for the Database, we included in our service partitions an Alter
Session statement to change the NLS_Date_format attribute in Oracle to
conform to the Forte DateTimeData format. It worked.

I was having the same problem a few weeks back when I would
read/write
dates to Oracle. I was using objects of type DateTimeData and I would
occasionally get errors like you said you were. I found discovered my
problem. Sometimes I would process a null date and would get an error.
So to
resolve this issue, I simply changes my objects of type DateTimeData to
type
DateTimeNullable. This enabled my Forte Application to handle regular
dates
as well as null dates. I have not gotten any oracle errors since then
with
regards to dates. Hope this helps.

24-Jun-1998 04:32:28 : XV01086 : Execute failed for SQL statement in
project Rap
tServices, class RaptSqlMethods, method updateActivity, methodId 104,
line 51, e
rror from database is:
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input
string
The Oracle manual says that the above exception occurs when there are
some extra characters on that field, which is not the case. In fact,
we raise our own exception for the cases like : o1-Apr-1997,
01-apr-97 etc. The correct format is 01-apr-1998.
Same date soemtimes is added to the database successfully. Waht I mean
to say that the exception deos not occur consistently.
We just conevert the String taken from the HTML field into a Forte
DateTimeData Object and send it to database. May be, the conversion
part is causing the problem. But, once again the problem is not
consistent.
Any ideas in this will be appreciated.
Thanx in advance

Date conversion logic using function modules

Hi there,
I have been researching in the forum how data conversion is done in ABAP and I found out about the function modules
CONVERSION_EXIT_LDATE_OUTPUT
and
MONTH_NAMES_GET
It seems that the first function module can convert the date format 06/08/2011 to MONTH DD,YYYY and the second function can easily translate the month names once language SPRAS has been specified.
Problem is I am not sure how I can convert my VBRK-FKDAT with format MM/DD/YYYY into the format DD MONTH YYYY format with the MONTH still dependent on the specified language.
I tried to look at how to MONTH_NAMES_GET FM works and made this code:
DATA: d_return like sy-subrc,
 itab_T247 like T247 occurs 0 with header line,
 gs_spras type spras.
gs_spras = 'RU'.
CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_NAMES_GET'
EXPORTING
 LANGUAGE = gs_spras
IMPORTING
 RETURN_CODE = d_return
TABLES
 MONTH_NAMES = itab_T247
EXCEPTIONS
 MONTH_NAMES_NOT_FOUND = 1
 OTHERS = 2
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
Loop at itab_t247.
Write:/ itab_t247-LTX.
endloop.
The code just lists the months in Russian (which is the language I need). I am just new to ABAP so I am an avid reader of the forum. I hope someone can help.
Thanks,
dgrachee

Hi Dgrachee ;
You can change it as follows.
Best Regards.
gs_spras = sy-langu. "'RU'.
CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_NAMES_GET'

Oracle to Mysql character set conversion problem!!! PLZ IGNORE

Hi Experts,
I have created a database link from Oracle 10g to Mysql 5.
I have installed Oracle Gateway 11g for this purpose.
When i retreive the data from sql plus the text is displayed as question marks.
Oracle 10g Database character set is WE8MSWIN1252
Mysql character set --->latin1
Character set of ODBC connector for mysql is latin7
Character set in the parameter file of HS folder is WE8MSWIN1252When i retrieve data from sql developer the text is fine(as i think it directly takes the character set of target) but
when i login from sqlplus i get question marks!

It is OK to post a globalization-related question in this forum in addition to the forum pertaining to the main technology. Not all experts follow all possible forums on OTN. Of course, you should cross-link the posts to let people merge the answers.
Regarding the problem itself, make sure that SQL*Plus has the right NLS_LANG setting in the environment. On Windows, in the Command Prompt:
C:\> set NLS_LANG=.WE8PC850
C:\> sqlplus ...On Unix:
$ setenv NLS_LANG .WE8ISO8859P1 (or NLS_LANG=.WE8ISO8859P1; export NLS_LANG)
$ sqlplus ...-- Sergiusz
