Strange Date Format

My iMac is running 10.5.8, and the date formats are very strange for documents. For example,
Wed FriJan 625,320102005, 8:28AM
I have 2 emails address

run the following terminal command and log out/in
rm ~/library/preferences/.Global*

Strange Date Format: April 16, R.O.C. 98 23:11:44 MESZ

Hello,
my Snow Leopard Mail.app suddenly shows me a strange date format:
April 16, R.O.C. 98 23:11:44 MESZ
(also see http://de.tinypic.com/r/153pjpz/3)
My question would be, what does R.O.C. 98 mean and how can I get rid of it?
Thank you very much!

Reboot solved it. In these times, you don't even think about something this trivial.

Strange date format in iPhoto

When I migrated to Maverick, the date format for all my pictures went batty. For example, the date will show as 43-6-569 or 85-65-741. I tried adjusting the date manually but it doesn't solve the problem. I thought migrating to Yosemite would fix this but the issue has actually spread to itunes. Now the "Date added" column for all the songs also shows this strange format.
Has anybody seen this issue? Is there a fix?
Thanks.

I have it on automatic date setting, using a 24-hour clock. The date format in the Language and Region tab is the typical dd/mm/yy. I double checked every other settings. But I don't think it's a problem with the System Preferences as the date in the manu bar is correct, as is for every other application. The issue is only with iphote and now iTunes.

Strange Date format in SM21 log in ERP 2005 system

Hi,
We have upgraded to ERP 2005 from 4.6C. In the system log (SM21), when I look, the date format (yyyy/mm/dd) the year is showing as some strange number 0112 . Not sure if it is a bug or has some fix.
I had installed a new ERP 2005 system in which I have the same problem.
Has anyone encountered the same problem?
Both are in HP-UX and MSSQL.
Thanks & Regards,

Strange date format in german locale

According to /usr/share/i18n/locales/de_DE the date format for german locale is defined as follows "2000-06-24", which is not very common in German-speaking countries.Usually date is written as "24.06.2000". Some programs use this "wrong" format.
Is it save to edit the file mentioned above to achieve this format?

Actually it isn´t a real problem, because in scripts you can use "date +%d.%m.%g", so I´ll mark this topic as solved.
I see that you decided against marking it as solved - or you forgot about it :-)
Which programs are showing the wrong date? They may be using their own date format and your locales are / were fine.

Strange date format from XML

Hi There!
We have an XML that we read into an XMLtype - and at a time we want to display it in a normal date type....
Its formatted as this: '2007-02-20T09:30:47.0Z' (Zero 0) - I guess it means no timezone in some ISO 86* standard
select TO_date('2007-02-20T09:30:47.0Z','YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS.??????') from dual;
I have trie to find a format for reading it ... do you have an idea?
regards
Mette

Sorry, forgot to say that some of the dates in the XML field is in this format
'2007-02-20T09:30:47+100 ...... (yyyy-mm-dd"T"hh:mi:ssstzhtzm)

Problem with SQL*Loader and different date formats in the same file

DB: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
System: AIX 5.3.0.0
Hello,
I'm using SQL*Loader to import semi-colon separated values into a table. The files are delivered to us by a data provider who concatenates data from different sources and this results in us having different date formats within the same file. For example:
...;2010-12-31;22/11/1932;...
I load this data using the following lines in the control file:
EXECUTIONDATE1 TIMESTAMP NULLIF EXECUTIONDATE1=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:EXECUTIONDATE1, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
DELDOB TIMESTAMP NULLIF DELDOB=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:DELDOB, 'DD/MM/YYYY')",
The relevant NLS parameters:
NLS_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
If I load this file as is the values loaded into the table are 31 dec 2010 and 22 nov *2032*, aven though the years are on 4 digits. If I change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to DD/MM/YYYY then the second date value will be loaded correctly, but the first value will be loaded as 31 dec *2020* !!
How can I get both date values to load correctly?
Thanks!
Sylvain

This is very strange, after running a few tests I realized that if the year is 19XX then it will get loaded as 2019, and if it is 20XX then it will be 2020. I'm guessing it may have something to do with certain env variables that aren't set up properly because I'm fairly sure my SQL*Loader control file is correct... I'll run more tests :-(

DATE Format Error in ODI-11g(11.1.1.3)

I am using ETL transformations in ODI-11g. There's a dominant issue regarding date formattings when I map an ODI variable (storing date) with a TGT column(datatype=date) mappings.
In all the src-tgt mappings I am formatting the date by using TO_DATE() functions. But still getting the error:
"ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string".
A point to Note: The same ETL in other env are ruuning fine but in my new dev env it's giving this date error.
I had checked with the DBA folks and they confirmed they set equal DATE settings in all the env.
The ODI Variable is defined as an "Alphanumeric".
Tx Used: #BUSINESS_CURRENT_DT=TO_DATE('Date','YYYY-MM-DD')
Require some urgent advice...Please let me know

Hi,
W store name-value pair in the Control table from where we exctract our data. Both (param name and param value) are varchars.
Well this looks pretty strange in 11g! Here's what we found out...
If you are trying to retrieve a date variable by using TO_DATE() in the refresh query the ODI Java driver (JDK 1.6) would call java.sql.timestamp and gracefully attach HH:MI:SS.NS along with the date (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS.NS). My target ia a date always..!
So, when I do: TO_DATE('20101010','YYYY-MM-DD) in the refresh query ODI stores it as '2010-10-10 00:00:00.0'
For this the Load always fails as Oracle would not be able to interpret a timestamp by suing TO_DATE()
The Java driver does this damage. However, it may be wise to store as a timestamp rather as a date if in case u do a Data capture and want the exact time credentials.
Unfortunately not a req, as of now for us so I had to chop-off the timestamp..!
Let me know if you find any other details...
Thanks.!

How to change open file dialogue box date format

Hi - I can't find how to change the date format whenever I open any creative suite document - my system preferences are set to dd/mm/yy and every other application shows this date except for CS4 it shows mm/dd/yy. Can anyone help please. Much appreciated.

Hi, I'm having the same problem with the date format - all Creative Suite 'open' menu items are showing US format mm/dd/yyyy rather than UK format dd/mm/yyyy... although everything else on my system is set for UK format and all other programs open properly. The strange thing is: I'm sure this has only just happened after years of using Creative Suite... I'm sure I would have noticed it before. I'm on CS3 so haven't had any recent updates that might have affected it.

Date Format for the input Variable

Hi all,
I got an issue with Date format we enter in the input variable screen for the BEx Analyzer.
We have given a format of MM/DD/YYYY. But when the users accessed the report, it is not taking the format of the variable i.e MM/DD/YYYY but it is taking the format of the users system.
If the user's system format is DD/MM/YYYY, it is accepting the input inthe same format only.
Why this strange behaviour?
My questions are
Is the input for BEx system specific? or variable specific?
Rgrds
Kumar

Hi,
I think it is user specific... you can maintain the date format for user ....
Go to SU01 transaction or.. Go to SYSTEM -> User Profile -> Own data
Here in defaults tab you can see the date formet for user...
Hope this helps...
Thanks,
Vikrant Mahajan

Date format is changing in presentation variable

Hello,
I have a problem with date stored in presentation variable.
I have simple prompt with calendar field (default date value is setted from repository or session variable to current date). Selected date is stored in PP_DATE presentation variable.
I have simple report with title to show the content of variable PP_DATE.
And now the problem.
When I navigate to dashboard page with this report I will get date from PP_DATE variable in some format (there is difference when I use repository or session variable). After I will push the start button I will get another date format from PP_DATE variable.
Screenshots are stored and described in this PDF: [PDF with screenshots|https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B2LOPOBteIShMDRmYTJlYTItNmYyZC00ODdkLWE5NjktNzI1N2RlNWMwZjBk]
There is difference between session and repository variable. When I use repository variable I will get 'TIMESTAMP .......' from PP_DATE variable, which is the default initializer in repository variable manager. I tried to delete default initializer, but I is automatically added after saving changes.
When is the default value of prompt setted from session variable I will get another format of date from PP_DATE variable which refers to DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss.mss" (from NQSConfig.ini). I have changed DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT from standard value "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mi:ss" to "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss.mss" because I am reading some data from excel, where are dates stored in MSSQL format. But this is not the reason of my problem. I have the same problem also with standard DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT.
The result of this strange behaviour is that I am getting errors when I am doing some calculations (for example TimeStampDiff) with PP_DATE variable. I am getting error when I am navigating to dashboard page. Everything is ok after I will push the start button.
Do you have some tips?
Thank you

Hey,
you are talking about so many pieces here seems..
first letz break down your issues list..
1. error, this is because of default date(using repository variable) used in prompt..
2. using presentation variables in timetampdiff functions..
3. showing variable in title list..
we'll go through each issue..
because, its' messed up..I think that everywhere is the same problem. So solving issue number 1 will solve my other problems.
"1. error, this is because of default date(using repository variable) used in prompt.. "
I want to use date prompt with default date value (from repository or session variable) and then use pp_date presentation variable from this prompt to filter my results.
I would like to use repos. or session variables, I dont want to write some select to fill default date value in each prompt.
I tried to change one date in initialization block from "trunc(sysdate, 'DD')" to "to_char(sysdate, 'YYYY-MM-DD')" because it is the same format as DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy-mm-dd" in NQSConfig.ini
And now it seems to be working now.
I can use repository var. as default date value in my prompt and use date variable pp_date to filter my results. Report return result after navigation on it and after pushing Go button.
Can you confirm me that date format in initialization block must be the same as DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy-mm-dd" in NQSConfig.ini?

Date format convert error in XML interface based Adobe interactive forms

Hi experts,
I am using XML interface based Adobe interactive form in Web Dynpro ABAP. The form just contains some date fields and numeric fields.
When I test the WD Application, the date fields appear like 0000-00-00 at the first time. And then I set the form input disable, and get the XML from the form, at the same time I get the warning message, 'date format convert error'. By the way, I have set the edit pattern, display pattern and data pattern of the date field to YYYYMMDD, but there seems no effect.
Could you tell me how to set the default date format in date field Or clear the 0000-00-00?
And another question, all of the numeric fields in the form appear like 0.0, how can I set it to empty when the form initialize?
Best Regards,
Guo Guo Qing

Hi Chintan,
Thank you for your reply.
I have tried every possible changes on the Date field, locale, pattern. But still no effect. When the PDF come up in the WDA program, the date field is still '0000-00-00', and then I export the XML date of the form, there is also '0000-00-00' in the interface field.
I can't clear the '0000-00-00' in initializiation event using javascript because if I need to open the form again, if I do this, the value user input could be cleared.
I also try using Javascrip like this
if this.rawValue == "0000-00-00"
{ this.rawValue = ""; }
The code above can't clear the initializiation zeros too.
Have you used the XML interface based online Adobe Forms? I have used XML PDF forms for output before, that's perfect. But the input forms seems so strange.
Best Regards,
Guo Guo Qing

Problem with reading English UK date format in Excel

When I build and debug the rulebase I get the following error: Error in rulebase: "Cannot perform comparison expression on right expression with type number".
The actual problem is that it does not read the date correctly in Excel. I have got the following date comparison >=31-09-2011 in excel. Instead of reading 31st September 2011 it tries to reed as 9th of the 31month 2011...
I have set all language and location, region settings to English United Kingdom (dd/MM/yyyy), United Kingdom but it seems it does not help. In Excel I have set English UK as well.
OPM version: 10.1.0.27
Windows 7
MS Office 7
I had this problem previously but I resolved by changing language or location setting I think, or language for non-Unicode programs. I cannot remember exactly. But this time it seems it does not work. Reinstalling does not work either.
Can anybody help with this?
What settings OPM uses to read the date?
Thank you!

Jasmine, you are right 31-09-2011 is a wrong date, I just typed any date as an example and didn't realize that it is an impossible date . We use many dates in Excel in a format dd-MM-yyyy (we do not type in date in runtime).
In the link you have sent it says that "Formatted attribute values based on rulebase region are used".
Date:
" if your region was set to the United States you would see the following: MM-dd-yy"
"Region set to Australia, which includes the date format dd/MM/yy
Region in our project is set to United Kingdom so the date format should be dd-MM-yyyy.
I have checked that OPM Project Properties Language is set to English (UK) so it should be fine.
The strange thing is that it works fine on other laptops - the date 03-09-2011 is red as 3 September 2011, but on my laptop it is red as 9 March 2011.
When it comes to read the date 30-09-2011, on other laptops is red as 30 September 2011, but on mine cannot make a date as there is no month number 30 so it throws the error "Cannot perform comparison expression on right expression with type number"... What actually happens is that on my laptop OPM reads the dates from Excel in American format.
As I wrote earlier, It was working fine at my laptop as well before reinstalling Windows. I had this problem long time ago again but I was able to resolve it by changing language,region settings in Windows I think.
Now it seems like I have got the same language,region settings in Windows as I had before, my colleagues got the same language, region settings on their machines as well.
Iit seems like dd/MM/yyyy is red fine (UK format), but the format dd-MM-yyyy is red in American format...
What settings should be set in Windows or Excel or maybe somewhere else OPM to read the date from Excel in English UK format dd-MM-yyyy?

Date format issue in Excel

Hi,
I have a date in XML file which is in the format of YYYY-MM-DD. When i output to excel, the date needs to come as MM/DD/YYYY. I am able to format the dates as MM/DD/YYYY, but if there is a 0 in the Month or Date, it is coming as M and D instead of MM or DD.
Eg: 2008-11-01 comes as 11/1/2008 in the excel, want it to come as 11/01/2008
Any solution for this? I tried using subst-ringing the parts and lpad-ing with 0s, but the zeroes get stripped when you come to excel. I am not able to lpad with space, since the field is inexplicably, automatically changing to number type and gives "Cannot convert to number" error.

Hi ,
Its a strange requirement but still lookig for answers..
1) Tried the User Profile and it the file is being generated in the format the use has. However
if we open the excel file ( Right click and say format Cells---->In this case it shows GENERAL).....The user wants the cell
always in the date format so that can have sort and other macros...
To Reiterate................
1) We have to generate the Files in the date format that the user profiel has and also the excel file should show the date cells in date format but not general....

INSERT & UPDATE changing date format to mm/dd/yyyy!!!

I have INSERT & UPDATE ASP/VB forms which have a date

Well, I've established that it's DW8.0.2 that is causing this
strange
occurence.
Reverted back to previously created versions of my
INSERT/UPDATE form pages
(created in DWMX) and it all works fine!!
I think that makes the whole situation even more frustrating
because I had
HUGE problems with this back in 2003/2004, and resolved it.
Now I've upgraded to DW8.0.2 and it's all gone "ape" again.
<sigh>
Any ideas, looking at the code in my initial post, why this
is happening?
