Setting up default Date Order

Hello,
We are trying to set date order(YMD,MDY or DMY) on date control. Customize (YMD,MDY) option is not suitable in this situation beacuse it needs individual upadate at each date control.
So we tried to set it a base level so that one change reflects everywhere on all existing reports and new reports(new date controls added in future) created with this date order by default.
We tried File>Options>Fields>Date>Customize
It is not overriding the date field deafult settings on report.
We also tried to use com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.definitionsdk. FieldObject to set dateformat/order on the reports. It did not worked out.
Could you please help me with setting date control order at base level so taht it reflected everywhere else.
Thanks,
Arun

Hi Arun,
Crystal get's it's default date formatting from the Window's Regional settings, same as Excel. You can overwrite individual objects but you can't really change the default for the reports themselves.
The closet I've come to addressing this is to have your application check the user's Regional Settings and changing them. The the reports will format the dates properly, unless someone has formatted the dates differently in the report.
This can cause issues if another program requires to display dates differently.
If you can identify a date field or formula, you can have your application loop through each field/formula, verify the type and conditionally format the object with the order you want.
Good luck,
Brian

How to set a Default date format.

I would like to know if it's possible to set a default date format (b.e. dd/mm/yyyy) for new date object and not for the current object?
Thanks

default date format (b.e. dd/mm/yyyy) for new date objectI would guess not, and that is regardless of how they format it.
Consider the java.util.Date.toString() method. There is no way to change the behaviour of that unless you want to derive a class from Date.
At least not in 1.3.0 it isn't. The java.util.Date class uses a private data member called simpleFormatter which it hard codes to
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy", Locale.US)
If however the time was formatted using the defaults from java.text.DateFormat then you could set the TimeZone. However, that doesn't impact formatting, it merely changes the offset (and daylight savings.)
You could set the Locale in java.util.Locale. That looks like a real possibility. But the documentation doesn't really provide anything that suggests how you provide your own and impact the time stuff. For example, Date which uses static finals for the time stuff - which suggests Locale can't impact it. And of course changing the Locale would impact your entire application, so you would have to make sure all threads were blocked while it was changed.

How to set a default date for a custom field of Date type in project server 2010.

hi,
can somebody help me.
How Can i set the default date for a custom field of date type in project server 2010 ?

Dear Rohan,
You can set default value to custom field thru Lookup table. Assign lookup table to custom field and set default value to some lookup value (Note: check the “Choose a value to use as a default when adding new item” checkbox).

How to set a default date as a parameter in Microsoft Reporting Services 2008 to January 1st

How can I set a default parameter for date for 01/01/yyyy.

Hi Giss68,
If I understand correctly, you want to set the first day of current year as a default value of a parameter in Microsoft Reporting Services 2008 report.
If in this scenario, we can use the expression below as the default value in the parameter:
=DateAdd("d",-DatePart(DateInterval.DayOfYear,Today,0,0)+1,Today)
The following document about DateAdd function is for your reference:

Setting a default date value for input controls

Hi All,
I have created a webi report that shows - among other things - the activity between 2 dates. I have created 2 input controls where the user can select the start and end dates from a calendar for this.
The displayed data is restricted by a date variable which 'unfiltered' contains 1 month of data.
'out of the box' I can set these input controls and all works fine, but each time I open the report the same values that I set last time are set in the input controls. I want to have these default to being between today and 7 days ago with the user then able to move away from this action, rather than the 'window of interest' slowly slipping into the past.
I have looked at the forum posting Re: Default Input Control Values in WebI doc on Open which describes setting a default on the objects in the report filter pane, but this does not appear to be possible as these are 'grayed out' and i need both the input controls to run from a single object.
Does anyone have any ideas how this might be achieved?
Thanks in advance
John

Hi,
Sorry, I've obviously not explained myself very well. Please let me try to elaborate...
The report I am writting is to function as a dashboard (yes, i know - Xcelcius/Dashboard Designer - don't ask!) but asking the user to enter a prompt for the date range is not an option here. My only options for this are effectively the input controls or the report filters. I want to be able to achieve the effect of entering =CurrentDate() in the 'default value box in the same way that I would if writting a Reporting Services report. However the WebI controls do not accept expressions for this.
So...
I have one date object with a months worth of dates in it.
I have two input controls associated with this date object to allow the user to select a narrowed date range from this month of data.
I need one of these to default to 'today' and the other to default to '7 days ago' (I can do the calculations to get both dates, the bit I cannot get past is applying these dates as defaults)
can anyone help me with step 3 (in bold) above?
John

A way to set the default Data tab display format to "Auto-Fit, Best-Fit"?

Is there a preference to set the Data tab for tables and views to default to "Auto-Fit" and "Best-Fit"?

No. You can request it at the SQL Developer Exchange.

How to set a default date value

I have this input field in a popup window, but can not get it to show a default value. Any ideas?
<cfinput type="datefield" name="blockDatePOP" id="blockDatePOP" value="#NOW()#" required="yes" message="You must enter a block date" mask="d mmm, yyyy" />
Thanks,

Maybe you should post your entire code for the page and the popup window.

How to set the default date format to populate a CachedRowSet...

Hi, I'm working with JDBC to retrieve some data from an Informix Database, I'm also using Flash Remoting as my User Interface.
The thing is, when I'm trying to display the recordset, the Date Format looks like this: "Fri Jan 29 18:00:00 GMT-0600 1999" so Flash cannot translate this format.
This is my Java code:
Class.forName(cnxDRV);
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(cnxURL);
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement( );
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery( xSQL );
rowset = new CachedRowSetImpl();
rowset.populate(rs);
rs.close( );
stmt.close( );
conn.close();
return rowset;
May be, I need to insert every row on the CachedRowSet and specify the format with SimpleDateFormat, instead of using populate(), but, is there some other solution?

How to set default sorting order in ADF Table

Hi,
I want to set the default sorting order as ascending in adf table. Please help me regarding how can we do it.
Using JDev 11.1.1.5.0

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I have done binding of table with list of pojos.
The Class for which Data control is created is as:-
public class DemoDC {
    private List<TableEntity> tableList =
        new ArrayList<TableEntity>();
    public List<TableEntity> getTableList() {
        return tableList;
    public void setTableList(List<TableEntity> tableList) {
        this.tableList = tableList;
where TableEntity is a pojo which has all the columns as its attributes.
Now when i do the above steps , after clicking on pencil icon and seecting the iterator name in the iterator tab (DemoDC-> tableList) , and selcting the 'sort criteria' tab when i select a column and try to set the sort order I get error as ' Iterator can not be created for the selected node ' .

How to set the default display date of Calender prompt of SMPortal???

Good Day!!
As for as my knowledge, the default date Visible in all Calender prompt will be the
Starting Date in the Specified date range either "RelativeDateRange" or "AbosoluteDateRange".
But we have a requirement to set the default date to a date in the middle of the specified range, I don't find any option to specify in Request Offering Wizard or MP's xml file.
Our scenario is as follows,
    We are trying to customize the CSPP's request offer "Request Virtual Machine", which has a user promt to select Decommission Date for the New VM. We have configured the date prompt as Relative Date range and set the
Start date as "1 day next to user's current time" and Maximum date to "90 days after relative date". So the user will get option to select Decomm date from (1-90) days with the defalut date as 1st day next to his current
time. But our requirement is to set the default available date as 90th date in the above mentioned Relative Date Range.
     I couldn't find any option in Request offering Wizard as attached below,
      Also I couldn't even find any tag to specify the default display date in the MP's XML file as attached below. Is there any other <tag> can be included inside <Details> tag to accomplish this ??
   Is there any other way to accomplish this???
    Please advise
Thanks,

This is probably a link editor parameter, see the linker and loader guide.
Another thing you can do is write your own sbrk() that will log whenever it's called, so you can at least see how many times it's called and with what values. If you really need in-depth instrumentation, write your own heap routines and give them the same names as the CRTL routines. The linker should find yours first and route all memory operations through them. At least, that's the way it worked for me on SunOS 4.1....

Date Format in Zreport similar to the default date format set using su01.

Dear All,
            I have a requirement as to change the date format in Zreport as the one which is set in default date format for the user in Su01 tcode.
Ex.. If the user has set the default date format in SU01 as ' YYYY-MM-DD' , in report also, date should appear as '2009-12-24'.
Is there any code or Function Module to change the date format in report as in the default Date format?
Can u help me in this?
Bye.....
Cheers
Christina.

Try the following code.
select the format of current user from usr01 table.
    SELECT SINGLE datfm FROM usr01
    INTO w_datfm
    WHERE bname = sy-uname.
Format based upon the current user settings. put this total code inside one form for reusability.
    IF w_datfm = '1'.
      CONCATENATE w_date6(2) c_dot w_date4(2) c_dot w_date+0(4) INTO outtab-value.
      CONDENSE outtab-value NO-GAPS.

Set Default Date Format in 4.2 jQuery Mobile Smartphone

Hi guys,
on "normal" Desktop interfaces you can set a default date format in the Globalization settings. Currently I'm working on a JQM app, and I noticed, that the same settings I have for date format in other apps, don't take affect.
I now read in the 4.2 release notes, that somehow this issue was a bit buggy. Is this fixed? I would like to set a german date format like "DD.MM.YYYY"; (as it's working in desktop apps). How can I do it? In global settings this entry gets saved.
But whenever I want to set an individual date-picker-item to that format, it changes back to "YYYY-MM-DD" after saving. And I don't really want to get into writing a conversion function in the dml-processing now.
Thanks for any hints, best regards,
tobi

Hi Tobi,
the "Date Picker (HTML5)" item type maps to the HTML5 input type="date", which requires that the internal format of the date value always has to be YYYY-MM-DD, but it's up to the browser to actually display the date in the format of the local operating system setting. The browser of iOS for example shows the date in the format of my local language/country setting.
See also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7372038/is-there-any-way-to-change-input-type-date-format
To make a long story short, it's not possible to specify the display format for those date pickers, because it's not supported by the HTML5 spec.

How to set default date of 3 weeks(21 days) from today's date during page load?

I want to show the default date as 3 weeks from today's date during page load.
For example ,i have given as adf.CurrentDate + 21 in EO for the attribute 'DueDate'. But it is showing me the date as 9.7.2013. 3 weeks default date is not getting set.If i give adf.currentDate also ,it not giving me today's date,it showing the 9.7.2013 only.Kindly provide your suggestions to set the default date as 3 weeks from today's date during page load.Thanks in advance.

Hi,
when you set the value on the entity level then you don't want to show it during page load but when the field is empty ? Correct? if so then the use case is a different one. The easiest way to implement this would be to create a Rowimpl class (Java option) and then in the get method of the entity attribute check if the value is null and if it is, set it to the current date + 21 days. This way all rows will be set with the 3 weeks due date but fields are not overridden each time the row is queried
