Source:Essbase, how to convert char in date format

Hello
Version OBI EE:10.1.3.4.1.090414.1900
Source:Essbase
We have date in format VARCHAR (01.01.2008). I want to have date in format DATE.
I transform our date on Business Level in DATE (yyyy-mm-dd)
CAST ( SUBSTRING(Copeck."Time"."Gen5,Time" FROM 7 FOR 4) || '-' || SUBSTRING(Copeck."Time"."Gen5,Time" FROM 4 FOR 2) || '-' || SUBSTRING(Copeck."Time"."Gen5,Time" FROM 1 FOR 2) AS DATE )
And in Answers I can see our DATE in format DATE,
but when I want to use filter on this field i get mistake
HY000. Код: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] meaning date/time 2008-01-01 nonqualifying given format
Состояние: HY000. Код: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] Возникла общая ошибка. [nQSError: 46046] Значение дата/время 2008-01-01 не соответствует заданному формату. (HY000)
Сформированный SQL: SELECT Time."Дата начала4" saw_0 FROM Copeck WHERE Time."Дата начала4" = date '2008-01-01' ORDER BY saw_0
When i use
CAST ( SUBSTRING(Copeck."Time"."Gen5,Time" FROM 1 FOR 2) || SUBSTRING(Copeck."Time"."Gen5,Time" FROM 4 FOR 2) || SUBSTRING(Copeck."Time"."Gen5,Time" FROM 7 FOR 4) AS DATE ) - ddmmyyyy
I can't see our DATE in format DATE in Answers, because I immediately get mistake
When I use usual database, i don't have this mistake, may be it depends on Source date?

I understand the converions for formatting dates. Thank you for this posting, it helped a lot. Now I need to take this one step further and that is modifying a date that comes the XML Datasource in the format I do not want.
Start Date is the name of the field. It is in XML and my RTF as 2009/10/03 and I want 10/03/2009 or 03-Oct-2009.
Any help on this is most appreciated.
Thanks

How to Converting Char to Date?

Hi
while i converting the char to date i am getting the below error, can some tell me how to resolve the issue.
Datetime value 01/01/2011 from 01/01/2011 does not match the specified format. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT 0 s_0, CAST(CONCAT('01/01/',cast(year(current_date)as char)) as DATE) s_1 FROM ''example reports"

Can you check whats your default date format. Just run the report with Current_date and look at whats the format. Ensure you dont override the default date format by going into column properties.
Try applying the same format when you use the cast as date function.
Also, you can refer to this link. http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/cast_as_date_

How to Convert Varchar2 to Date format(Timestamp)

I have a date saved in varchar2 column.
how can I convert the values into date(including Time stamp), so I can use the date to compare data.

How to convert from ifs date format to sql based dates

I want to write a sql query using dates, to search an ifs
database. Ifs stores dates as numbers created using the
java.util.Date class. These dates are accurate to seconds.
PLSQL uses a different format.
What I need is a PLSQL function that converts PLSQL date format
to and from the java.util.date format.
This is an example of what I would like to do.
String classname = "DOCUMENT";
String whereclause = "CREATEDATE > theNeededFuction(to_date('01-
Jan-2001', 'DD-Mon-YYYY'),'j')";
Selector mySelector = new Selector(login.getSession());
mySelector.setSearchClassname(classname);
mySelector.setSearchSelection(whereclause);
I do realize that I could simply convert the date in java, but
in the long run, I want to use the oracle tools that support
busness day calulations.
-Mitch

Hi Mitch - our ViewSpecification functionality automatically
includes an Oracle Date column, which is derived from the java
date values we store. These views are the supported way of
performing read-only operations against an iFS instance.
For yor reference, the Oracle date column is derived using the
following SQL operation (e.g. for createdate):
to_date('01-JAN-1970', 'DD-MON-YYYY') + (createdate/86400000)

How to convert internal table data to PDF format

HI,
I have an internal table data having one field with 255 chars. length.I want to send that intenal table data as attachemnt with external mail. i am thinking of converting that data into PDF format and use the FM to send the mail. How to convert internal table data to PDF format.
Kishore

In which format is your data in the internal table currently. Is it returned by a smartform/script or its just data fetched from some database table into an internal table. Since its obvious that the data should appear in the PDF with some Layout, you should be using smartform to format the data properly. See the Link
Smartform to PDF to EMAIL
This shows convertion of smartform to pdf and send it through email

WalterUse TO_DATE to convert a string into a DATE:
TO_DATE ( column_x
        , 'DD/Mon/YYYY'
        )Use TO_CHAR to display a DATE in a given format:
TO_CHAR ( d
        , 'DD.MM.YYYY'
        )d can be any DATE, including the DATE returned by the TO_DATE function, above.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using.

Converting varchar2 to date format

I've converted date formats many times, but for some reason I'm getting an invalid number error when trying to convert a varchar2 column. I've tried the to_char and to_date function and I get the same result. The column is a date and it is formatted as DD-MON-YYYY, but I want to change it to MM/DD/YYYY. My query is below:
select to_date('fccpdate','MM/DD/YYYY')
from cc_class_scmast_v
When I try to_date I get this:
Error starting at line 1 in command:
select TO_DATE('fccpdate', 'DD-MON-YYYY') from cc_class_scmast_v where fccpdate IS NOT NULL
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
01858. 00000 - "a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected"
*Cause:    The input data to be converted using a date format model was
incorrect. The input data did not contain a number where a number was
required by the format model.
*Action:   Fix the input data or the date format model to make sure the
elements match in number and type. Then retry the operation.
When I try to_char I get this:
Error starting at line 1 in command:
select TO_char('fccpdate', 'DD-MON-YYYY') from cc_class_scmast_v where fccpdate IS NOT NULL
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-01722: invalid number

I've tried removing the single quotes from my column and that doesn't make a difference. Any help is appreciated.

I've tried the to_char and to_date function and I get the same result. The column is a date and it is formatted as DD-MON-YYYY,If the column is a DATE, then it has the same format that all DATEs have, which is nothing like 'DD-MON-YYYY'. Formats like that only apply to strings.
Conversely, if it is formatted as 'DD-MON-YYY', then it is a string, not a DATE.
but I want to change it to MM/DD/YYYY. My query is below:
select to_date('fccpdate','MM/DD/YYYY')
from cc_class_scmast_vTO_DATE (x, 'MM/DD/YYYY') tries to convert the string x into a DATE. Let's say it starts by taking the first 2 characters of x, to get the month. The first 2 charcters of 'fccpdate' are 'fc', which is not a valid number (at least not in base 10), let alone a number between 1 and 12, so TO_DATE raises an error.
When I try to_date I get this:
Error starting at line 1 in command:
select TO_DATE('fccpdate', 'DD-MON-YYYY') from cc_class_scmast_v where fccpdate IS NOT NULL

I've tried removing the single quotes from my column and that doesn't make a difference. Any help is appreciated.That's a good first step. Literals are enclosed in single-quotes, identifiers (including column names) are not. 'fccpdate' is the literal 8-character string containing 'f', 'c;, another 'c', 'p', 'd', 'a', 't' and 'e'. fccpdate (without single-quotes) can be the name of a column.
If fccpdate is a string, such as '18-JUL-2012', then you can convert it to a DATE using TO_DATE.
TO_DATE (fccpdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY')If you want to display a DATE in a particular format, use
TO_CHAR ( d
        , f
        )where d is a DATE, and f is the format string. In this case, d might be the TO_DATE expression above
TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE (fccpdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
        , 'MM/DD/YYYY'
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
