Regarding date format changes

Hi All,
I have a date variable.
Th date variable is v_doc_date which is declared like SY-DATUM.
I will get value into that variable in format DDMMYYYY EX: 18072005 now i want make that variable as 18.07.2005 through Function module.
Can any body tell me how can we convert DDMMYYYY into DD.MM.YYYY through function module.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Rayeez.

Hi,
If you are writing it on the screen - use edit mask.
eg: write v_doc_date using edit mask '__.__.____'.
Or use this piece of code.
data: v_date(10),
      v_doc_date like sy-datum.
    v_date0(2) = v_doc_date6(2).
    v_date+2(1) = '.'.
    v_date3(2) = v_doc_date4(2).
    v_date+5(1) = '.'.
    v_date6(4) = v_doc_date0(4).
If you have to change the date in many places, just put this in a form and call it.

Date format changed (since SP8?)

Applied SP8 lately on a server. I guess since then the date format changed.
It is now April 18, 2011,
and it should be 18 April, 2011.
I am not sure if this is because applying SP8, but what is for sure that the date format is not what we used to.
Checked time zone. Regarding to `set time zone` it is proper (CET-1CEST).
Please advise.

Hi Marcel,
Thanks for the fast reply. I will give it a try probably.
I am still wondering what could have changed the date format.

In any case, the date format on the server console is controlled by the file lconfig.sys copied to the server's c:\nwserver directory at installation time.
The following TID tells you how you can replace this file.
Note that the TID refers to changing the code page. In your case, it is not the code page you want to change, but the country code which corresponds to the date format you want to display

Date format changes in the middle of a program execution

In my C code I have a series of select statements.
When I first get a session to the database I use the following command to set the date format
alter session set nls_date_format = 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'
It works fine for a few queries. After a while during the program execution I see that the date format changes to 'DD-MON-YY' format. This results in a series of error in my code because I expect the date format to always be in the 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS' format.
Any idea why the date format should change all of a sudden in the middle of the program execution.

I second the idea that you should always use TO_DATE and TO_CHAR if you want to reliably convert between dates and strings.
Without seeing your code, it is hard to say why your date format is changing, but the most likely reason is that you are changing users somewhere in the code. For example:
SQL> show user
USER is "OPS$ORACLE"
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-JUL-2003
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_format='dd-Mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss';
Session altered.
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-Jul-2003 10:15:12
SQL> connect jtest/test
Connected.
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-JUL-2003TTFN

if (j > 0)
swOut.WriteLine();
dr = dataGridView1.Rows[j];
for (int i = 0; i <= dataGridView1.Columns.Count - 1; i++)
if (i > 0)
swOut.Write(",");

//replace embedded newlines with spaces
value = value.Replace(Environment.NewLine, " ");
swOut.Write(value);

This forum is for Microsoft products, they have already and endless quantity of databases, many even freeware.
Try therefore for your question the forums for SQLite.

SSAS Cube parameter date format change

Hi Experts,
I am new to SSRS report creation. I have a parameter which is fetching date from cube. The date format from cube is YYYY-MM-DD.
I want expression to change the date format to DD/MM/YYYY.
I have used this expression - =Format(CDATE(Parameters!DimPromoUBUBStartDate.Value),"dd/MM/yyyy")
but it is not working and getting the following error,
"unable to cast object of type 'System.object[]' to type 'system Iconvertible'
Please give your suggestions
Thanks in Advance,
Rajan

Hi Rajan,
According to your description, when you convert the "YYYY-MM-DD" formatted data from the parameter and change the format, it throw the error above. Right?
In this scenario, the reason why you get this error because you set allow multiple values in that parameter. When we allow multiple values in a parameter, all select values will be put into a array when processing even you only select one value. And
the CDate() function can't convert the object[]. So please unselect the allow multiple values in parameter. If you want to keep multiple values selection, you can only convert one element from the array. For example: CDate(Parameter!XXXX.Value(0))
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,

Regarding Date format in Reports.

Hi All,
I want to change the Date format in BEx reports. Currently I am getting MM DD YYYY. But I need it as DD MM YYYY. I had gone thru numerous posting on this issue. I changed the Date Settings in SU3. But still I am not getting the Date in correct format. Is there any other place that I have to correct the Date format???
Regards
Jay

Jayanth,
I feel in your case, going to the System (in menu)-User Profile-Own data then, you get, Maintain user profile. Here you have the option of Maintaining, Date format.
Hope this helps....

Hi Babu,
If the format is required in the Bex analyser then its system dependent setting .
Control panel - > Regional & language options -> Regional options -> Customize -> Date -> Short Date format -> DD-MMM-YYYY(Change) .
Do not forget to log off and re-login into bex,execute queries and see the output.
Hope that helps.

R2 to R3 upgrade Schedule Date Format Changed

We recently did an upgrade from BOXI r2 to R3. We did the installation wizard using the r3 image to the same server.
What we have noticed now is that all the schedule dates in the CMC for our reports have changed format from US to EURO. 01/13/08 to 13/01/08
We are still on the same server, and it appears that the time format is comming from our web server now.
Dose anyone know how to change the date format on Tomcat to reflect standard US time and Not Euro.
Or if this isnt the case where else could I check for date formats, we have checked the CMC, the Server itself and the Preferences.
Thanks
KF

Hello,
did you checked the locale of your OS ?
When you say you checked the preferences you mean the preferences of InfoView ?

Date format changed while printing invoice

Dear All,
Since yestardayin production server the date format of invoice is like 12.02.2010,but form morning it is comming like 2010.02.12.
I have checked in quality and it is still comming like 12.02.2010.
Could you please tell me why is it comming?
Regards,
Amar

Dear Amar,
1 Check the user profile for default type od date value in production system and compare it with quality. If this is not as per the quality system then change it.
2 if both system quality and production both have same date format then you have to debug and find out the issue.
Hope you need not to go for second point.

Hi Kishore kumar,
What you can do is befor printing the Expiry date set the date Mask as 'YYYY-MM-DD' and after printing your Expiry Date again set the DATE MASK to 'YYYY-MM'
i.e.
/: SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM-DD'
&mchar-vfdat&
/: SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM'

Regarding Date format in output text file

Hi Frnds,
i am taking the data from vbak table into one internal table T_vbak, in that i am having vdatu field also, and after that using GUI_Download function module i am downloading that internal table data to one text file into presentation server.
But the date format is displaying in yyyymmdd format in the text file, but i want the format like mm/dd/yyyy in the text file, can anybody plz help me....

Hey Bala,
You can use the following conversion routine for converting the date from yyyymmdd format into mm/dd/yyyy.
data: l_date(10) type c.
Loop at t_vbak into wa_vbak.
CONCATENATE wa_vbak-vdatu4(2) wa_vbak-vdatu6(2) wa_vbak-vdatu(4) INTO l_date SEPARATED BY '/'.
wa_vbak-vdatu = l_date.
modify t_vbak from wa_vbak.
Endloop.

Chetan.

BAPI - Webservice, Date-Format changed

Helly everyone,
I've got a problem when creating a WS based uppon a BAPI (BAPI_FLIGHT_GETDETAIL). The Webservice itself works fine. But if I use the BAPI I need to use the Date-Format DD.MM.YYYY for the required Input-Field Flightdate. In the WS I need to use the format YYYY-MM-DD. Now, is there any way to use the DD.MM.YYYY-Format in the WS also?
