Routine to convert dats to dec format

Hi experts..
I have one cube having date in DEC format and flatfile having date in DATS(yyyymmdd) format. i have used a routine in transfer rules as follows..
DATA: dats1 type p.
dats1 = TRAN_STRUCTURE-calday.
RESULT = dats1.
but i m not getting the date in cube in DEC format...?
Plz correct me...

sorry use TYPE /BIC/OIZDEC_DATE instead of LIKE...
one question, how is this filed stored in your cube fact table at the end?
Can you see the /BIC/F<cube> value in SE16 and let me know?
Can you also try to post your yyyymmdd directly without any routine? What's the result?
Perhaps the system converts it automatically into yyyymmdd anyway; this would mean that the behaviour is correct thus why do you want to post the numeric representation anyway??

Re: How to convert date from ccyymm format to mmddyyI didn't inderstand. Date doesn't have any format. If you have a string in CCYYMM format, you would have to extract the YYMM from the string.

Converting Date Column to format MM/DD/YYYY in RPD

Hi all,
I have a requirement like converting a Date column to format MM/DD/YYYY in RPD. Any help as we are not supposed to use the BI Answers Data Fomat for showing this format.
Thankyou,
Edited by: [email protected] on May 10, 2010 11:49 PM

Hi Saichand,
I need the resulting column in DATE format only. The solution which you specified converts the datatype to character. Is there anyway to convert the format but not the datatype.

Convert date in sql format

how to convert a date in string format to sql date format?
thanx in advance

Use java.text.SimpleDateFormat to parse the String into a java.util.Date.
Create a java.sql.Date from the java.util.Date.
Use a PreparedStatement and its setDate() method to set the date in the SQL. The JDBC driver will take care of putting that java.sql.Date object into the correct format for your DB.

Convert date to internal format

Hi,
I am getting date in the format as detailed below:
10/16/2005, 6/16/2005, 10/6/2005 - MM/DD/YYYY
I have to convert it to the internal date format.
Please help with the code.
Thanks
SAPBW

Hi,
Use Function module CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL.
It will consider all types of date formats 10/16/2005, 6/16/2005, 10/6/2005 etc. Whether you will give 1 or 2 digits to month or date. You can also give 2 digits to year even then it will converts to internal format.
You need to give dates in User defined format otherwise it generates an exception DATE_EXTERNAL_IS_INVALID.
DATA V_EXT_DATE(10) VALUE '10/06/2005'.
DATA V_DATE TYPE SY-DATUM.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'
EXPORTING
 date_external = V_EXT_DATE
IMPORTING
 DATE_INTERNAL = V_DATE
EXCEPTIONS
 DATE_EXTERNAL_IS_INVALID = 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.
WRITE:/ 'INTERNAL FORMAT OF DATE IS: ', V_DATE.

How to convert date in varchar format to TimeZone format?

How to convert this?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
You would look up the TO_TIMESTAMP and the TO_CHAR functions in the SQL reference manual for the version you don't mention, and make up the solution yourself, rather than asking someone else to do your homework.

Converting date in french format

Hi All,
Hi All,
Please let me know if you have any idea
I am converting the date to French /infact multi lang
select to_char(sysdate,'Fmddth Month, yyyy','NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE =FRENCH') from dual
so this is giving me "8th Septembre, 2011"
but what i want is "8er Septembre, 2011" instead of "th" i need "er"
Thanks & Regards,
Dhana

from http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14225/ch3globenv.htm
Example 3-12 NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH, Month and Day NamesAs an example of how to use NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE, set the date language to French:
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE = FRENCH;
Enter a SELECT statement:
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'Day:Dd Month yyyy') FROM DUAL;
You should see output similar to the following:
TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DAY:DDMONTHYYYY')
Vendredi:07 Décembre 2001
When numbers are spelled in words using the TO_CHAR function, the English spelling is always used. For example, enter the following SELECT statement:
SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('12-Oct.-2001'),'Day: ddspth Month') FROM DUAL;
You should see output similar to the following:
TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('12-OCT.-2001'),'DAY:DDSPTHMONTH')
Vendredi: twelfth Octobre

How can I convert date in FOX (from DEC to date[DEC])

Hi everyone!
In my planning layout I have a field called "MYDATE" of the date-type "DEC: Calculation or amount field with comma and +/- sign" (-> BPS does not allow using DATS as date-type).
Since I import that date from a different system, I have to use a temporary workaround field "WADATE" (WorkaroundDate) of type DEC (alternatively integer or float) which contains the date in a format YYYYMMDD (e.g. 20070604).
How can I transfer the date from WADATE to MYDATE? I tried using FOX, but for some reason it does not work. When I use the following function, MYDATE remains empty:
DATA TMPDATE TYPE F.
DATA MYPROJECTS TYPE B906_PROJ.
FOREACH MYPROJECTS.
"MYDATE" is the field I want my date in
"WADATE" is my workaround field that contains the date
TMPDATE = {WADATE,000,0000000001,0000000001,001}.
BREAK-POINT.
{MYDATE,000,0000000001,0000000001,001} = TMPDATE.
ENDFOR.
Is it possible to solve my problem with FOX? Or do I have to work with an EXIT function?
Best regards, Daniel

Daniel,
The better approach is the one Marc said but if you have tomake a work around work, I think you might need to try and define your temporary date variable as String and another for the converted date as of type of the final date. I would not define any date type as float unless you can have part days and it is very important to have part days, integer might work by I would try String first myself.
It has been a while but on a BW 3.5 project I had to do some manipulation to read the attribute value of material master data to get the launch date and use it to derive the start period (definited as type 0FISCPER) and proportion of month based on number of days remaining after launch date vs the # of days for the month. I think I used string type function in FOX to derive some of the component...
Hope this helps,
mary

Need help in converting date format

Hi,
Need help in converting date format from 'DD-MON-YYYY' to 'YYYY-MM-DD' in an .rtf template as I believe xml publisher supports the date format as 'YYYY-MM-DD' only.
Thanks,
Raj.

I got the same problem, anyone know how to solve this problem? I allready found some date functions on http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2008/09/date_functions.html . I also tried <?xdoxslt:month_name(xdoxslt:get_month(xdofx:substr(NEED_BY_DATE, 4,3)), $_XDOLOCALE), 0, 'nl-NL')?>, but then it returns a namespace error (Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Namespace prefix 'xdofx' used but not declared.). Anyone know how to fix this?
