Select of date with yyyymmdd format

HI I have a report that I want to select the current date -1.
but our dates are in this format
YYYYMMDD so I cant just use 'current date?

What database are you reporting against?
If you're using Oracle, you should consider creating a SQL Expression field with this code:
TO_CHAR("DATE_FIELD", 'yyyymmdd')
You can then use this field in the Record Selection formula to make sure the query generated contains a where clause. The record selection would be:
totext(currentdate-1, "yyyyMMdd") = {%SQL_Expression_Formula}
If you're using SQL Server, the SQL Expression formula would be:
replace(convert(varchar, "DATE_FIELD", 111), '/','')

How to append date in YYYYMMDD format in .par file for export

Hi,
Database Version: 10.2.0.4
OS: AIX
I have an export script which reads .par file and executes "exp" to export schema.
I would like to add date in "YYYYMMDD" format for the dump file like this
owner=scott file=/exports/scott_${`date '+%Y%m%d'`}.dmp feedback=10000
I know above statement will not help, but I am giving it as example on what I want to achieve.
I want the file name as =/exports/scott_20120712.dmp
Thanks

How to parse string to date with defualt format?

is there any possibilities to parse a string to date if we don't specify the format in SDF?
In database we have different formats and we need to convert each one convert to date with common format(something like default), is there any possibilities to do in java?

They're the appopriate solution, so use it.Often but not always true.
For example neither MS SQL Server nor Oracle timestamp types will store the resolution capable with the Java Date type. So if one wants to maintain all of that resolution one requires either a varchar or two columns.
And although I haven't been able to confirm it (recently at least) at one time one of the Oracle drivers had a bug that a timestamp would wipe out following columns. For that one either one was left with having only a single timestamp as the last column or using a varchar.

Select duplicate Data with same No.

Dear All experts,
    How we giong to select the data with same No as 1 record count.
example :    Bellow is the sample table contains 5 rows records, but of records ard same number.
      post No.               Name
      1001                      Jacky
      1001                      Jimmy
      1002                      Mark
      1003                     Jin
      1004                     chloe
when i use the select statement bellow :
Select * from table into corresposding of table t_table up to 3.
will get the result like below .
      1001                      Jacky
      1001                      Jimmy
      1002                      Mark
Question is , how i going to write the statement to get the 3(depend on user insert how many record) different no. example , 2records of 1001, 1002 , and 1003 .

if its a ztable then better to keep a counter field for your requirement.
else.
parameter : count type i. "this holds number of required data.
select * from TT_XYZ into table gt_itab.
loop at gt_itab into gs_itab.
at end of post_no.
   count = count - 1.
endat.
if count = 0.
exit.
endif.
append gs_itab to gt_itab2.
clear gs_itab.
endloop.
now gt_itab2 holds required entries for you.

Apex mobile Date-Picker (date with time) format mask error

Hi together.
I'm playing a little bit with Apex mobile.
I want to save a date with hours and minutes in the database. So i have an date field (type: date with time).
On my phone i can select an date value with time, but when i want to save the value, i get an format error, that the format 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS' is wrong.
I can't change the format mask in the element properties, because it is everytime going back to the old value "YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS", when i save it.

Not a 100% related, but personally and from a usability point-of-view I really dislike the built-in datetimepicker and so far every client who has seen it has agreed with it. It pops the date and time down to the bottom, it only selects when you hit close, it just doesn't look appealing as the normal datepicker does and you expect more. Personally I've also gone the route Jari described several times, and it's probably still the cleanest and least error-prone option. Validating dates can be quite a pain, but the datepicker built-in validation does that fine, so if you can circumvent validating a free-text time field that helps). I've used some jQuery timepicker plugins aswell, and they're ok, but still don't solve the validation (even though there is some javascript validation you still need serverside validation). All I'm trying to say is that using select lists for hour-minutes is not such a bad idea in my opinion.

Alpha channel data with layered format plugin

I have a layered format plugin and I am trying to write the alpha channel information separately. I have set up channelPortProcs and I am attempting to read the pixel data with readPixelsProc. The issue is that even though the readPixelsProc function doesn't return any errors the rectangle that is supposed to store the rectangle that was actually read is a 0x0 rectangle. I can't seem to find why this would be or what I might be doing wrong. Here's what I have so far:
// set up the pixel buffer
int32 bufferSize = imSize.h*imSize.v;
Ptr pixelData = sPSBuffer->New( &bufferSize, bufferSize );
if (pixelData == NULL)
     *gResult = memFullErr;
     return;
// Define the source and destination rectangles
ReadChannelDesc *alphaChannel = gFormatRecord->documentInfo->alphaChannels;
PIChannelPort port = alphaChannel->port;
PSScaling scale;
scale.sourceRect = scale.destinationRect = alphaChannel->bounds;
VRect destRect = scale.sourceRect;
// Set up the descriptor for reading pixel data
VRect wroteRect = {0};
PixelMemoryDesc dest = {0};
dest.rowBits = imSize.h*alphaChannel->depth;
dest.colBits = alphaChannel->depth;
dest.depth = alphaChannel->depth;
dest.data = pixelData;
// Put the pixel data into the buffer
*gResult = gFormatRecord->channelPortProcs->readPixelsProc(port,&scale, &destRect, &dest, &wroteRect);
if(*gResult != noErr)
     return;
The alpha channel gives me the proper name, but I just can't get the data associated with it. Thanks.

I am still trying to find a solution to this. The propChannelName is read only and the documentInfo structure is NULL when reading. Any suggestions?

Outputted date with unusual format mask

I am getting a flat file outputed from Fusion Financials SAAS, and one of the columns has this: 2013-11-14T15:10:36.000-06:00
Clearly its a date. I am guessing its a datetime TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE datatype. But, the Format Model is unfamiliar to me, particularly regarding the letter 'T'.
Because its a flat file, this is coming to me as varchar2 data. I'd like to convert it to datetime.
I got to this:
select to_timestamp_tz('2013-11-14T15:10:36.000-06:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF TZH:TZM') AT LOCAL
from dual
It fails because of the letter 'T',
I know I could do this:
select to_timestamp_tz(REPLACE('2013-11-14T15:10:36.000-06:00','T',' '), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF TZH:TZM') AT LOCAL
from dual
And it works.
But that is not the point. The point is to find the Format Model that Oracle is using here.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Arie

Arie, the timezone format in the file is based on ISO 8601: ISO 8601 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This should work:
SQL> select to_timestamp_tz('2013-11-14T15:10:36.000-06:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS.FF TZH:TZM') from dual;
TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ('2013-11-14T15:10:36.000-06:00','YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS.FF
14-NOV-13 03.10.36.000000000 PM +06:00
Hope this helps,

Loading Excel data with custom format applied

Hi,
I have an Excel File as source with the custom formatting applied to the data in it.
For Eg. value 64 has special formatting applied so as to display it as 0064.
BODS loads only the actual data as 64 and though I expect to load the formatted data(0064).
Is this an expected behavior of BODS?
DS Version : 14.1.2
Thanks.

No. If you define file format as flat file and define the field type as char then you can load all the formatted data like 0064 into DB. If you use excel then excel will remove leading zeros. This is excel functionality. or you can define the input file as CSV file and change the format of the field.
Thanks,

Time Data loading with missing format

Hi expert,
after we load time data, find the following missing information:
0CALDAY:
20.080.112 (Error)
2008.01.12 (correct one)
0CALMONTH:
200.801(Error)
2008.01(correct one)
0CALQUARTE
20.081(Error)
20081(correct one)
Could anyone let us know how to correct data with missing format to correct one and how to do this step by step? Many thank!

What is the source for this data ?
Have it corrected in the source
Or
Correct in PSA and load it from there.
Does it happen only for a few records ?

SELECT BY DATE

Can someone assist with how to select dates for a table based on the criteria that the offset is 5 and if at that offset the number is less than 2 e.g. 20.07.1998 would be selected and 20.07.2007 will not.
thanx in advance

Hi Darlington,
First you select all the dates into your internal table.
What i mean to say is, use selection criteria to pick data from your data base table.
after fetching all the records check whether the date field's first character
if it is '2' then delete that record from the internal table.
Example1:
tables: pa0000.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
begda like pa0000-begda,
end of itab.
select begda from pa0000 into table itab.
if sy-subrc = 0.
sort itab by begda.
delete itab where begda+0(1) eq '2'.
endif.
Also check another example:
System stores data as 'YYYYMMDD' format.
data: v_date1 type sy-datum value '19980720'.
data: v_date2 type sy-datum value '20070720'.
if v_date1+0(1) ge '2'.
write:/ 'Not a valid date'.
else.
write:/ 'Valid date'.
endif.
if v_date2+0(1) ge '2'.
write:/ 'Not a valid date'.
else.
write:/ 'Valid date'.
endif.

Extract text with specific format ?

Hello,
Is there a way to extract text with a specific format in a document (i.e. font type/ size or even font colour)?
thanks in advance!

Hello gillad,
I am afraid only indicators are the bold font or text colour...
Having said that, just as I was writting my response, the following idea came to me:
Convert the pdf into word
Click on text of interest (text with distinct format)
Use the feature "select all text with similar formating (no data)" under "editing" within the "home" ribbon
Having said that, hopefully a tool set/ action can be developed one day...
