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....

System date format in reports (winnt)

Hello All,
I am using oracle report bulder 6.0.5.35. on winnt
i have to show all the date fields in my report in the system format (as specified in the regional settings in control panel)
i couldn't find a direct solution, so what i did was to create a user defined parameter and pass the system date format as a string to the report at runtime (this report is invoked from VC++, so i can pass the local setting as a string at runtime)
after this, in BEFORE REPORT trigger i use the following code
dbms_session.set_nls('nls_date_format',:dat);
--where dat is the user parameter.
shouldn't this change the date format for the current session. but this is not happening. (i have not set date formats for any date fields in report)
i am not getting the output in format that i passed, but always i am getting in 'dd-mon-yy' format.
can anybody please help. is there any other solution.
thanks and regards,
Pinto.

hello,
the DBMS_SESSION changes the settings on the database side. as reports has it's own client-side NLS settings this does not have any influence on the output.
the client-side settings are defined by the NLS_LANG settings in the registry on the client.

Change date format in reporting (query)

I need to change date format from dd.mm.yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy in reporting (query)

Hi Suresh,
Go to transaction su01d in that enter your user.
Now go to defaults and change the date format.
Ya but this format will be user specific, so if you want everyone to see that format you have to change it for all.

Display correct date format in report

Hi All,
I have a key figure date type and when I display the report, this field shows a number format and not a date format as i wish.
Can you help me with this issue? Any idea?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Bruno,
Any specific reason you created the date as KF type in place of characteristics of type dat.
Please create the object as characteristic of type DAT.

Date format on report

Hi Everyone!
I have a date format that is in the footer of my report. The format is set with the following: fmDay Month DD RRRR HH:MI AM and this is what I want, but when it prints out I get the following: Monday September 24 2001 11:0 AM . I would think I should get Monday September 24 2001 11:00 AM . I need the other part of the minute to show up. Now, it does show up if I have Monday September 24 2001 11:15 AM. I really need for the whole date format to show up. If I change the format to mm/dd/rrrr HH:MI AM then I don't get the day which I really need to show up in the footer.
Thanks in advance for your help.
~Vannette ([email protected])

Please change your current date format [to]
fmDay Month DD RRRR fmHH:MI AM
Neeraj Vannette -
To explicate, recall that FM is a toggle. Your first
FM set the format to suppress all blanks and leading
zeroes, so 11:01 became 11:1. The added FM sets back
to normal mode, so everything after the first FM is
zero/blank suppressed, after the second FM is not.

URGENT: Date format in Reports Giving me trouble...plz help me out

Hi guru's Can any one help me out
I
n the front end apps we are getting the date value as
BOM_SRS_DATETIME_STANDARD
Where we are entering the date value as MM/DD/RRRR HH24:MI:SS
The date format set in the company is like RRRR/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS
SO I format masked the date parameter in .RDF to RRRR/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS format.
While the actual date format in the data base is like DD/MM/RRRR HH24:MI:SS.
I checked all the old reports and the date format is like they masked the date format to company format and used the afterparameter trigger like bellow:
if :P_SENT_DATE_FROM is not null and :P_SENT_DATE_TO is null then
:P_SENT_DATE_TO := :P_SENT_DATE_FROM;
end if;
if (:P_SENT_DATE_FROM = :P_SENT_DATE_TO) and (:P_SENT_DATE_FROM is not null) then
:WHERE_SQL := :WHERE_SQL || ' AND CREATION_DATE = '||' to_date('''||:P_SENT_DATE_FROM||''''||','||'''DD-MON-RR'')';
else
if :P_SENT_DATE_FROM is not null then
:WHERE_SQL := :WHERE_SQL || ' AND CREATION_DATE >= '||' to_date('''||:P_SENT_DATE_FROM ||''''||','||'''DD-MON-RR'')';
end if;
if :P_SENT_DATE_TO is not null then
:WHERE_SQL := :WHERE_SQL || ' AND CREATION_DATE <= '||' to_date('''||:P_SENT_DATE_TO ||''''||','||'''DD-MON-RR'')';
end if;
end if;
I tried this but i couldnt get the output either.
I am pretty much confused.
Plz help me out...

If you want to use a dynamic where caluse in your report query you can use a Reference Cursor using REF CUR QUERY tool in your report like this :
function QR_1RefCurDS return DEF_CURSORS.CHARACT_REFCUR is
temp_CHARACT DEF_CURSORS.CHARACT_refcur;
begin
IF :FROM_NO IS NULL AND :TO_NO IS NULL THEN
open temp_CHARACT for SELECT ACCT_CODE, ACCT_NAME
FROM CHARACT
ORDER BY ACCT_CODE;
ELSIF :TO_NO IS NULL AND :FROM_NO IS NOT NULL THEN
open temp_CHARACT for select ACCT_CODE, ACCT_NAME
FROM CHARACT
WHERE ACCT_CODE=:FROM_NO
ORDER BY ACCT_CODE;
ELSIF :TO_NO IS NOT NULL AND :FROM_NO IS NOT NULL THEN
open temp_CHARACT for select ACCT_CODE, ACCT_NAME
FROM CHARACT
WHERE ACCT_CODE BETWEEN :FROM_NO AND :TO_NO
ORDER BY ACCT_CODE;
ELSIF :TO_NO IS NOT NULL AND :FROM_NO IS NULL THEN
open temp_CHARACT for select ACCT_CODE, ACCT_NAME
FROM CHARACT
WHERE ACCT_CODE<=:TO_NO
ORDER BY ACCT_CODE;
END IF;
return temp_CHARACT;
end;
But first you have to declare a cursor type in a package

Change default date format of reports data source

Hi all,
I need to convert an ugly EBS standard charactermode report (Oracle Reports) into the Xml-Publisher format. I'd like to use the existing report as the xml data source as all data is available in the old report.
The problem is that the date format used by reports is determined by NLS_DATE_FORMAT (et al). This date format unfortunately is not xml compliant (dd.mm.yyyy in our case) and so Xml-Publisher date related features (e.g. sort by date) will not work .
The report/template is submitted via the submit concurrent request form.
Is there a way to make the underlying reports produce xml conformant dates without resorting to wild substring operations in the template or changing the EBS standard report?
Thanks
Christoph

Can i change the nls parameter of a particular column(date field) in a table?if i set that it is apllied to all the tables in the database..No. Please understand that all dates, in all tables are stored in the same, oracle-defined, format. NLS_date_format affects how that internal date is converted to a character string for presentation to humans, or how to interpret a character string (received ,ultimately, from a human) for conversion to that internal format. It (NLS_DATE_FORMAT) can be set at several levels, but table/column is not one of them.
Please read the link I posted in my earlier response. It will clear up your confusion.

No. of hours appear in Date Format in Reports

The output of the Personnel Action Report shows the "Annual Working Hours" column in Date format. This is the same with other reports like the Wage Type Reporter.
Can somebody suggest a solution to this?
Thanks
RS

Hey thanks to both of you for responding.
Personnel Action Report is customised "ZHRPA" and Wage type report is also a customised one.
Ameet, could you please let me know what exactly I am supposed to chekc in my parameters (SU3)? Should I ask the developer to check the report since this is a customised one?
Remi, wage type reporter is also a customised report here. It is the customised version of PC00_M99_CWTR.

Regarding Date Format Conversion

Hi,
In my project i am picking the date from the date picker which is a javascript program . Then i am displaying it on a jsp page .It is coming in mm/dd/yyyy format .I have to change it to dd/mm/yyyy format .
I have the code for date formatting conversion .
What my doubt is whether the code should be written inside the jsp page or in the javascript .
Thanks .

Hi
<%@page language="java" import="java.sql.*,java.util.*,java.text.*" %>
<%SimpleDateFormat sdf= new SimpleDateFormat(dd/mm/yyyy );%>
<% java.util.Date temp_date = sdf.parse(PassYourDateHere); %>

So, currently I am using SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM' and it is printing same format for all fields.
But now my requirement is I want to show date for Expiry Date like 'YYYY-MM-DD'. For this I defined one temparary variable in the form like below

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.
