SYSDATE computation to populate a date field in a form

Hi,
I have a form to add employees. The form has a Created_On field of type date.
I want this field to be automatically populated with today's date - I have created an After Header Computation of type Sql Expression on this field with SYSDATE as the computation. This, however, does not work.
Is there another way of doing this?
Thanks.

Or perhaps you could change the default on the table itself
alter table table_name modify column_name default sysdate;
Final result would look like this:
SQL> create table blah (empno number, orig_date date);
Table created.
SQL> alter table blah modify orig_date default sysdate;
Table altered.
SQL> insert into blah (empno) values (123);
1 row created.
SQL> select * from blah;
EMPNO ORIG_DATE
123 18-JAN-08

Error while updating Date Field on Process Form.

Hi,
I am using java code to pre-pop date on the process form.First I used a java code whic took java.sql.date as input and returned the same java.sql.date.But it gave an error that:java.lang.String cannot be converted to java.sql.date.......
So I changed the java code and now it takes string as input and returns java.sql.date. This code works fine for Pre-pop adapter and the date is populated on the process form.
But when i use the same code in a Process Task adapter to update the date, then it gives the following error:
ERROR [ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)' XELLERATE.ADAPTERS - Class/Method: tcAdpEvent/updateDataSetValuePost encounter some problems: Adapter Execution Error: updateDataObjFieldValuePost: error updating UD_OID_USR_DATE_OF_BIRTH
ERROR [ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)' XELLERATE.ADAPTERS - Class/Method: tcAdpEvent/updateDataSetValuePost encounter some problems: {1}
Can anyone suggest any method to update date field on process form?

Hi Abhi,
Can you tell me how you have implemented populating an UDF based on Prepopulation of another UDF. I have a similar kind of requirement. It would be great if you share your code or relevant part of it.

How can I validate a date field in Portal Forms

I have a date field in portal forms that I want to perform validation on to make sure it's in the proper format before being accepted (mm/dd/yyyy). How can I validate against that field?

Hi Ben,
I took the time to test and revise. This is code that will validate a date entry (format MM/DD/YYYY). Just paste this in the "Before the start of the form..." window of the Additional PL/SQL code section of the form. Then add validateDate(); into the onBlur event window of the field in question. Replace the CYCLE_END_DATE with the field name in question.
HTP.P('
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>
function validateDate() {
var ddObj;
var mmObj;
var yyObj;
var day;
var mon;
var year;
var field_val;
var field_name;
for (var j=0; j < document.forms[0].elements.length; j++) {
field_name = document.forms[0].elements[j].name;
field_val = document.forms[0].elements[j].value;
if (field_name.substring(field_name.indexOf(''DEFAULT.'') + 8, field_name.lastIndexOf(''.01'')) == ''CYCLE_END_DATE'') {
var delimPos = field_val.search(/\//i);
if (delimPos < 0)
alert(''Invalid date entry! Please enter in MM/DD/YYYY format. '' +
''e.g, Dec 21, 2003 would be entered as 12/21/2003'');
else
if (field_val.length != 10)
alert(''Invalid date entry! Please Please enter in MM/DD/YYYY format. '' +
''e.g, Jan 1, 2003 would be entered as 01/01/2003'');
else {
month = field_val.substring(0, field_val.indexOf(''/''));
day = field_val.substring(field_val.indexOf(''/'') + 1, field_val.lastIndexOf(''/''));
year = field_val.substring(field_val.lastIndexOf(''/'') + 1, 10);
/* Need to subtract 1 from value because in Javascript, January begins with 0
and ends with 11 for December */
month = month - 1;
ddObj = new Date(year, month, day);
mmObj = new Date(year, month, day);
yyObj = new Date(year, month, day);
if (ddObj.getDate(ddObj.setDate(day)) != day)
alert(''Invalid day!'');
if (mmObj.getMonth(mmObj.setMonth(month)) != month)
alert(''Invalid month!'');
if (mmObj.getYear(mmObj.setYear(year)) != year)
alert(''Invalid year!'');

How can I populate a date field when document is signed?

I have 4 digital signature fields in a PDF form. Next to each signature field is a date field (m/d/yyyy format). I would like it so when the user signs the signature box that the date field next to it populates with todays date, then changes to read only (so it cannot be altered).
In Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 I have this form and it has the following fields
Signature1
Signature2
Signature3
Signature4
DateField1
DateField2
DateField3
DateField4
The Signature fields trigger a Topaz.GemSignPlus driver where the end user will be signing on an electronic signature pad.
How can I use Javascript to detect when one of those Signature fields is populated and then fill in the date to the approrpiate date field? I tried creating boolean variables initialized as false for each sig field. Then when the signature is done I try to change it to true, but for whatever reason my javascript detecting the value doesn't do anything.
I've searched the net endlessly for this solution. I can't believe I'm having such a hard time finding an answer. I mean how many places do you go where they ask you to "Sign and date here". Every signature based document I've ever seen also requires a date.
Anyway here's what I have. In Document JavaScript functions I have a script name called populate date:
function populatedate()
var bSignature1 = new Boolean();
var bSignature2 = new Boolean();
var bSignature3 = new Boolean();
var bSignature4 = new Boolean();
if (bSignature1) {
    DateField1.value = util.printd ("m/d/yyyy", new Date());
if (bSignature2) {
    DateField2.value = util.printd ("m/d/yyyy", new Date());
if (bSignature3) {
    DateField3.value = util.printd ("m/d/yyyy", new Date());
if (bSignature4) {
    DateField4.value = util.printd ("m/d/yyyy", new Date());
In each signature field I have under the Signed tab "This script executes when field is signed:
var bSignature1 = new Boolean(true);
I'm trying to change it to true see. My thinking is if its true than DateField1.value should print the m/d/yyyy in it from the built in Date() function.
But maybe I am not getting this context correct. I am new to Javascript in Adobe.

It's quite a round-about script... Why not simply use the signature signing script to set the value of the date field? The correct syntax for that is:
this.getField("DateField1").value = util.printd ("m/d/yyyy", new Date());

Auto populate a date field in pdf

in the form I am working on I have a date/time field. I need it to populate the current date when the form is open. I get it to work but it has the time on it. I only need the date. when I try to change it to display just the date. It will not auto populate ? please help. Thank you for any one who can help.
using adobe livecycle ES

I found out how to use current date.
To add current date fields in LifeCycle
You can use a date/time field to automatically show the current date by using the Runtime Property option in the Value tab of the Object palette.
Note: When using a current date field, the date updates to reflect the system’s current date each time a user opens the form.
1. In the Object Library palette, click the Standard category and drag a Date/Time Field object onto the form design.
2. In the Object palette, click the Value tab and select Calculated - Read Only from the Type list.
3. Select the Runtime Property option.
4. View the form in the Preview PDF tab.
Hope this helps!

Can Acrobat auto populate a date field upon digital signature of a form?

We use several fillable forms with digital ID signature fields. A business rule requires a date field next to the signature field. Is it possible to define the date field to auto populate once the user signs the form? I can't check this in Acrobat since I only have the reader.

Hi,
The short answer is yes, but of course you'll need to get Acrobat to edit the PDF file.
Generically, here is what you are looking to do:
Open the Digital Signature Properties dialog
Select the Signed tab
Select the This script executes when the field is signed radio button
Click the Edit button
Add the code snippet below to the JavaScript editor
Click the OK button on the JavaScript editor
Click the Close button on the Digital Signature Properties dialog
// JavaScript code to add the date at signing time
    var currentTime = new Date()
    var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1
    var day = currentTime.getDate()
    var year = currentTime.getFullYear()
    var signingTime = day +"/"+month+"/"+year //Modify into your preferred format
    var f = this.getField("Text1"); //Modify the field name as necessary
    f.value = signingTime;
Good luck,
Steve

How do I populate my date fields placed on Master Page for multiple pages?

I have a dynamic form with flowing fields. I inserted date fields using the Master Pages tab within Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2, Windows 7 OS. I have only 1 Master Page. Everything on the form is working properly, except when I have multiple pages, the date fields are blank on all but the first page. One of the date fields has javascript in the exit event to calculate the second date field. I can manually edit the subsequent page(s) date fields, but I don't want the end user to have to do that. I want the date fields on the new pages to equal the date fields on the first pages. Below is my output with notes to provide a visualization of what I'm looking for.
Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with this issue!
Caroline

Hey Mandy,
Yes, both date fields are on the Master Page. The first one is set to "User entered - Required" and the second to "Calculated - User Can Override"
And that's right, I used your script to calculate the second date field. The only thing I changed was the field name, and used 6 days instead since I wanted the calendar days to only run a full week, like start on a Monday and end on Sunday.
Thx,
C

How do I set blank data to date field in pdf form ?

Dear Sir,
I made PDF form by Acrobat X on Windows PC and then,
read the pdf form by acrobat reader on iPad.
Date field is included in the form.
The Acrobat version is 10.1.6 .
The acrobat reader version is 10.5.0 .
First, I put the wrong date data to the date field.
So, I tried to clear the date field.
I want to put the blank data to the date, but I think
there are no way to put the blank data on iPad
I would like to know how to reset the date data.
If that helps, I tried to the same thing on Android.
I could put blank data to the date field by BS key.
Sincerely,

Here is how to clear the Date field on the Ipad.
NOTE: In order for this to work that has to be another TEXT field in the PDF to get the keyboard to pop-up.
Click on Text field (this is to get the regular keyboard on screen)
Click on Date field (date spinner control will show up)
Click on SAME DATE field (spinner control will disapper)
Click on "Reset Field" on top of keyboard (date field will now be empty)
Click any where on PDF that is not another Date field (keyboard will disappear and date field will be empty)
Bingo! your free and clear.

Filling out the date fields in the forms

Hi,
I'm trying to fill out a form (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-134.pdf). The regular text fields are working fine, but I've problem with date fields in this document.
When I set the value of any date field (e.g. see "Date submitted" in the middle-right of last page), Acrobat Reader assigns the same value to all other date fields - which is completely wrong. And if I delete any value it has assigned, it deletes the values of other date fields as well.
Is it a bug in Reader, or something is wrong with the form? I've the latest Reader 8.1.2 + security patch, running on Windows.
Regards,
Michael.

It is the design of the form. It isn't a bug of Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.

What's the simplest method of adding a date field in a form in DW(CS3)?

I'm creating a form that among other things has a date field where the user will need to input a date. I'd like to make it a standard date field where as soon as the user clicks on the field they get a pop-up of a mini calendar to select a date from. Anybody knows the simplest way to achieve this in DW? I should mention that I still use DW CS3. Possibly a known free widget of some sort?
I should add that if possible I'd like to make this a mandatory field - much like Spry Validation works with the common components of a form (e.g. text field or checkbox). Would that be possible to do if the code supplied for date field was external (as at seems DW doesn't have a date field feature internally)?

Thanks again. There's one other thing I wanted to achieve here. I need the date format to be displayed like "dd/mm/yyyy" and not like it's doing by default at the moment (i.e. mm/dd/yyyy)
I don't have any knowledge of jQuery but had a go anyway at trying to fix this using this link http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/ as aid to try adjust my code. Obviously I couldn't get it to work so far... So I'm looking for a little bit of help from anyone who knows a bit of jQuery.
Here's the original default code (just the stuff that goes in the 'head' of the page):
<script>
$(function() {
      $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
</script>
And here's what I tried adding to make it work:
<script>
$(function() {
      $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
      $.datepicker.formatDate( "dd/mm/yyyy" );
</script>
Obviously I tried other combinations including .parseDate instead of .formatDate etc etc none of which worked.
I'm wondering whether the extra code should perhaps go inside where the XXs are - $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker(XX)
Anyway, if somebody could help me out that would be great. Cheers!

Populate BAM data object through adf form.

I want to populate a BAM data object using adf form as we do in case of database table by creating a data control. How to do this?

Hi Simanta
1. I am seeing lot of posts from you regarding this Java to BAM Data Objects integration.
2. What exactly are you trying to do. Dataobjects are very tightly coupled with actual Database component that is used to create that like Table or View etc.
3. Best way is. Create a data object. Export that DataObject using "icommand". See docs for this command usage.It generate a pure .XML file with all the details like DataObject name, external referenced Database details (datasource name), external Table or View details. Then mapping for EACH column on this object and that database stuff. Just see the xml file, Its pretty straight forward. When you Export Reports also, it creates an XML File exactly like this only but with more details like all column Formatting information etc etc. Export one Report also and see that xml 4. file.
4. Both above XML Files are stored in ORABAM Schema. Tables of interest are :SysIterDataset, SysIterParameter, SysIterParameterValue, SysIterReport etc.
5. Oracle do NOT expose any Public APIs to handle above stuff. But if you really really want, you can always manipulate XML content and reload to those columns any time. Need to add few query parameters to get exact row like ReportId, or DataObject Id which are just PKs etc.
Still, I am curious why and what is the usecase where you want to do all this from Java code. Because DataObject is a one time thing. And note that it is used in Report. So if you modify data object like remove a column, then Report will die.
By the way, all the WebServices exposed may be for ReadOnly purposes. I am not sure if you have services to modify them.
Thanks

Initializing the date field in tabular form

i m creating one time sheet application. in that i hv created one tabular form to take timesheet entries. current_date attribute is one of them. the problem is that i want to initialize the current date with the sysdate as the form loads and then afterwards the user can edit the date using the calendar if he wishes to. the current_date type is date picker.
but the before header for computations is not showing thhe item and process is not allowing to create any pl/sql block..can any1 help me?

In the source of the column use PL/SQL Expression or Function and put there
SYSDATE (include some formating if you want). This will set the default value of the
field to what you want once you add new rows.
