Return the beginning of the next year.

I Know that you can return the absolute beginning of a year with:
TRUNC(SYSDATE, 'YYYY')
but, given only sysdate, how can I return the absolute beginning of the NEXT year?
Just adding 365 won't always work.
Thanks.

Hi,
To explain Hoek's solution:
Prohan wrote:
... Just adding 365 won't always work. Exactly! That's because years aren't always exactly 365 days long.
However, all years are exactly 12 months long.
ADD_MONTHS ( SYSDATE
        , 12
        )is guaranteed to return a DATE in the current month of next year. It may not be the exact same date as today (that is, if today is February 28, ADD_MONTHS may return February 29, or vice-versa) but it will aways be the expected month and year, and TRUNCating that to the year will always result in January 1 of next year.
You could also reverse the order of TRUNC and ADD_MONTHS, like this:
ADD_MONTHS ( TRUNC ( SYSDATE
                  , 'YEAR'
        , 12
        )There is never any rounding error when using ADD_MONTHS on dates at the beginning of the month. If the first argument to ADD_MONTHS is the 1st of some month, the value returned will always be the 1st of the month.

I have now transfered my files of ripped CD's to my iTunes library three times. On each occassion, the conversion seems to occur fine, the files play, but when I close my computer and return the next day, iTunes says it cannot locate any of those files.

I have now transfered my files of ripped CD's to my iTunes library three times Since upgrading to iTunes 11 and Windows 8. On each occassion, the conversion seems to occur fine, the files play, but when I close my computer and return the next day, iTunes says it cannot locate any of those files. Three times. Beginning to lose my temper. Advice? Suggestions? Could the fact that my original library is located on a network drive have anything to do with it? Thanks for your help, all.

Repair security permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7/8 shouldn't be too different.
Repeat for the media folder if it isn't a subfolder of the iTunes folder.

I already tweeted and facebook messaged Verizon. Your CS group has gone down hill over the last 3-6 months. I use to enjoy being a customer.

Doubt about changes in the routing for the next year

Hello All,
I have a question hope for you guys to gave a brief and technical answer to me.
I have some doubts, one doubts is in the actual routing, can I change the Valid to ( Date) in the routings in the operation. (Example. original valid to date is 31.12.9999 i want to change this with 31.12.2007). Because we want to create new routing with changes for the next year. But it´s necessary the new routing is valid from 01.01.2008 and valid to 31.12.2008.
And I can´t 2 routings with the same valid for 01.01.2008
I have many routings for change and I have other option like change the status (create or release).
Other doubt, the user has a excel file with the changes necessary, how can I upload from excel file to SAP R/3. It exist one program, one procedure u other option.
Your kind response is what am ex[ecting expert. Thanks,

Hi
pl use the ECM functionality (engineering change functionality) for the same..its standard SAP and no need for any special config..
You can channge the same routings by giving the effectivity date in ECR (eng change request)
for creating an ECR pl follow the below steps
=Create Engineering change request - TCODE - CC31
=Click on object type after entering this screen parameters
=Click on status management
=and change status by clicking on Check request
=Select the required objects types to be changed and click on objects to reach the below screen
=Enter the required objects to be changed via selecting appropriate tab.
=Select the object and click on details
=Click on status management
=Go to Header and click on status
=Change the status by clicking upto convert request.
=Click on the save button and Engineering Change Request has been created..
IMP Notes -
Do close and Release the Engineering change request after doing the appropriate changes at both Object level and Header Level
Pl come back for any further clarifications..
rewards will be appriciated if found useful

LinkedLists --- returning the next object in the list

Hi,
My project is a college where i can input students using a linked list. In one of my classes 'StudentLinkedList' i have to return the next student in the list (where the current object is input into the method as a parameter).
So far i have
// Returns the next student object in the list
        public Student getNext(Student before) {
             Student before =
        }As you can see i have Student before as the parameter but i don't exactly know what i should assign that too. I don't want it to be the first object in the list or the last object in the list, it could be any student. Do you get me?
Another example of a method in my class which works is returning the first student object in the list...
// Returns the first Student object in the list
        public Student getFirstStudent() {
             if(size() > 0) {
             return list.getStudent();
             } else
                  System.out.println("There are no students in the college");
                  return null;
        }Thanks alot

             return node.getNext();
        }am i on the right track?I don't think so. Why are you overwriting "before" before you're using it? Don't you think that because it's included as a parameter, it's probably important?
Ah, I see, they're different types. Use a different variable name for before #2, call it beforeNode or something.
Anyway, this should be fairly simple if you break it down into steps:
1) Iterate through your list until you find a "node" such that node.getStudent().equals(before);
2) Return node.getNext().getStudent() (of course checking for null values along the way)

How do I get calendar to forward birthdays to the next year?

How do I get calendar to forward birthdays to the next year without having to type them all in again?

Either set a repeating date on the event (repeat every 1 year) or set the birthday field in your contacts on iOS & OS X, then enable the birthday calendar in the settings. I have no idea how to do this on Windows, so you will need to provide more info about what you are using if you are really on Windows.
We'll get this moved somewhere more appropriate if you say what device & OS you are using.

How to carry forward leaves to the next year with out writing PCR

Hi All,
Could you please tell me the process steps for quota carry forward from previous year to the next year with out writing a PCR
Regards
Sita

Hi
Leave balance carry forward

How to carry forward remaining Earned leaves to the next year.

HI Experts,
How to carry forward remaining Earned leaves to the next year.
Do I need to write a PCR for that? If yes then which PCR to modify?
Or is there any other way around.
Regards,
Tomesh

Most of the time you will find easier to create a rule for that.
Which one to use: it all depend of your schema! you can also create a specific small rule for it.
The proper day, you can store the remaining balance in a time type (or the day before if your "old" quota is closed) and and store it either in the existing time type that generate entitlement, or in a new one and you create a specific entitlement rule in v_T559E for this time type, valid only once a year

Java and SAP in the next years ?

Hello,
Is it a good thing to begin to develop around SAP in Java currently ?
It has been said that it will not be supported if i'm not mistake.
Thanks,
Smoltok

Hi
Java is a Platform independent technology so that it can be used by all the system, ERP like SAP need to communicate with
different type of system and nedd to handle huge set of data. For this Java is a power full language hence Java is used in SAP. J2ee has a huge number of Design patters wich will help to solve the archeture problem easily.
SAP netweaver is mostly build on Java engine only. So the combination of SAP and Java will be success for next Years
but People say ABAP is going to replace JAVA in SAP, But as of its quite impossibel because ABAP is mainly ment for Data processing.

Noel

Returning the next day?

Hi, i hope somebody can help me, I'm new to Java and I'm stuck with some work that I am doing. I don't want an answer, just a hint as to where to get started.
I have created a class called Date, which uses switch statements to return a string of the date, when integer values are entered. I need to define a method public Date nextDay() to compute the next day, but I have no idea how to even start.
Here's the code in my original class, I need to emphasise that I do not want an answer, but a suggestion as to how to get started, I don't really understand what is meant by I need to have a return value of type Date because I do not really understand how this type would be represented.
package dates;
public class Date {
       Constructs a date with a given year, month, and day
       of the calendar.
       @param year a year between 94 and 07

        return sYear;
    public String toString()
        return getDay()+" "+getMonth()+" "+getYear();
}

Well I'm sure that any basic java tutorial that included the words "object" and "create" would be able to help you, but I showed you above how to create a Date. See reply #2.
The general syntax for creating a new Object has two parts. First, you must declare a reference to the object:
Object myObject;Then you must instantiate a new object:
myObject = new Object(); //this must match a valid constructor for your type (in your case Date) You can of course do this in one line:
Object myObject = new Object();And for you, you want to use a subclass of Object, named Date (which is what you've called your class)
public Date returnNewDate() { //just a SAMPLE method returning a new Date object
Date date = new Date(10,12,2007);
return date;
}

If i put birthdays on a calendar, can i copy them the next year in i photo

If I input birthdays onto a calendar I am making in iphoto, can I use the same birthdays next year?

No. When you use the same calendar over and change the year all entries go away. Better yet create an Calendar birthday calendar with just birthdays and add that calendar to each year's calendar. After firest creating the calendar it's a one click effort to add them to the iPhoto calendar.
