Time format conversion problem
Hi there,
I am tryng to get excel data thats in time format lets say : 03:30
i have key transform it into key figure in time format, when i load data and check the data in cube, it comes ina a format that is like 03::3:0
and also when i try to report that it shows 00:00 in reports.
thats why i can not get time differences.
Thanks
Hello john,
The sugestions to change the format in excel are correct but if u dont want to change it in that way, u can write an abap routine
in the transformation for add the time seconds.
Data : time_excel TYPE char LENGTH 8.
*rename time1with the name of ur field
CONCATENATE source_fields-time1 ':00' into time_excel.
move time_excel to result.
Hope this helps.

Hi
Please help me out
I have data
Input = 2.00+e4 ( Exponential Form)
i want out put = 20:00:00 ( time format)
how to do this? any function module ???
regards
aryanHi,
When we assign a floating point number to a field of type T
then the floating point number is converted into Packed number (As no. of Seconds) and then the Packed number is converted to time format(HH:MM:SS).
data:
w_float type f,
w_time like sy-uzeit.
w_float = '2.00+e4' .
w_time = w_float.
write w_time.
output :
00:00:02.
I think this will help you -
Date Format Conversion Problem
Hi I am having trouble converting excel files to PDF.
I am in Australia and so we use the date format dd/mm/yyyy.
However when I convert to PDF it changes the date to the American format mm/dd/yyy.
For example if the date in Excel is 07/08/2013 (7th of August 2013) after conversion to PDF it displays as the 08/07/2013 (8th of July 2013).
Can someone please tell me how to get Adobe CreatePDF to convert to the correct date format?DrClap wrote:
From the API documentation for SimpleDateFormat:
"Text can be quoted using single quotes (') to avoid interpretation."
So your format should be:"yyyy-MM-dd'T'kk:mm:ss.SSz"(Note that I added the "z" at the end to handle the timezone part of your input.)From the description of the OPs problem - that of obtaining the "date" information from an XML file - it seems easier to remove the unwanted characters than to add single quotes where needed. -
I'm unable connect my I pad mini to my laptop(window 7,64 bit) after formatting,my iTunes didn't find my device,before format everything working properly but this time lot of problem plz help
You formatted your computer's hard drive? If so, it's like starting with a new computer unless you restored all of your content from a backup but it does;t sound like that's the case.
See wjosten's excellent how-to here: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive -

actually i have taken a numeric control of time- date format in which display format of time is 24-hour type but the requirement is that the numeric control should be converted into string type in which display format is 24-hour type.
You have two options: Format Date/Time String or Format String. I prefer Format String since I am usually combining other things. For the format string, follow formats given in the LabVIEW Help (follow the links I already gave you).
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Problem with time stamp conversion
Hi All,
I am using the below code to convert timestamp to date and time , its working fine when i print it with write statement .
But i want to convert and pass the time and date with format to excel sheet , but its it taking again as string not in date time format .
please see the below code .
time_stamp = 20030309043000.
CONVERT TIME STAMP time_stamp TIME ZONE tz
INTO DATE dat TIME tim.
*WRITE: /(10) dat, (8) tim .
please suggest .Now that you've converted your time stamp to date (type d) and time (type t), convert them into alphnumeric fields like you want or tell excel what is in that column, since Excel isn't telepathic...and doesn't always know what we sent it....
data: date10(10) type c.
time8(8) type c.
write dat to date10 mm/dd/yyyy. "converts type d to user's specific date setting (not necessarily mm/dd/yyyy).
concatenate tim(2)
tim+2(2)
tim+4(2)
into time8 separated by ':'.
I do wish that I understood the fascination with Excel....when we have such marvelous tools to work with inside SAP or BW. -
Type conversion from numeric value to time format
hi guys,
i hvae column called (Time in seconds).i need to convert the numeric value of one column into time format HH:MM:SS. for example 3012 =00:50:12.
how can i proceed the same in the front end.
Thanks & Regards,
NanduHi..
here is the code.. (assuming 10000 in the following code is your seconds, replace that with your value...)
cast(TRUNCATE(10000/3600,0) as varchar(2)) || ' : ' || cast(TRUNCATE(60*((10000/3600)-(TRUNCATE(10000/3600,0))),0) as varchar(2)) || ' : ' ||cast(60*((60*((10000/3600)-(TRUNCATE(10000/3600,0))))-(TRUNCATE(60*((10000/3600)-(TRUNCATE(10000/3600,0))),0))) as varchar(2)) You can also use floor instead of truncate...
Above will give only h:m:s format if hh (or) mm (or) ss are between 0 and 9. So, you may need to add case when condition before each concatenation: if hh is between 0 and 9 then need to concatenate with 0 else the same code...
Thanks... -
Format Conversion : Transcoding
Hi,
I am working on an application for format conversion of files, be it audio or video files. I tried the code Transcode.java (attached below) given in JMF, but I could only succeed in converting .wav files to .mp3 files. I have till date been unable to convert any video files from one format to another. I might be missing out on certain assumptions as to which files can be converted to the required format or not. Kindly give some sample code if anyody has any and also any suggestions please so that I can fulfill the requirement.
Also kindly suggest a possible algorithm for the problem.
Thanks,
Amit

Audio Converter in MediaSource-Format Conversion is not support
Just bought a ZEN Micro and I have a question about the Audio Converter in MediaSource. Everytime I try to convert a file I am getting this error: Format Conversion is Not supported.Fo example I just tried to convert a 92kbps MP3 to a 28kbps MP3. I also tried to convert the same file to a 28 WMA. Both times I got the Format Conversion is Not Supported Error. I have tried a few different files with no success.Please HELP!
I emailed customer service and they told me to just reinstall MediaSource..Seems like thats the standard answer to everything...Any other suggestions would be helpful!
ThanksFaztang,
Reinstalling MediaSource can often resolve problems like this because they may be caused by a file that was not copied over correctly during install. This is usually a good first suggestion but it certainly isn't the only suggestion they will offer.
What if you use the standalone version of the file converter, does it give you the same errors? Also if you haven't yet uninstalled and reinstalled you might try installing into a different directory as that can help with this also.

During export from Discover to Excel, Time Format changes to Number Format
Hi
I have a seconds column which is of number datatype. But in my report, I am converting the number in *0HH:MI:SS* format. For example, I have *4952534 seconds*. So my report is showing *1375:42:14* which is a Time Format. It looks good when I view the data in Discoverer Viewer or Plus. But when I try to export the data to Excel, the time format gets converted to *4952534 seconds*, which is creating problems. So can you suggest on how can I preserve the formatting during export to excel from discoverer.
Thanks
SachinHi,
Excel will not implement the 0HH:MI:SS data format, it just gets the field as a number. You will have to format the field into text using the calculation from my previous post.

How to get system time format in time stamp
Hello All,
I have one problem regarding Time stamp. I want system time stamp format in Time control. If my system date/time format change then automatically my time stamp format should also change.If my system Time stamp format is hh:mm:ss AM/PM dd/mm/yy so in my LabVIEW time stamp format should also same. If System time stamp format hh:mm:ss AM/PM mm/dd/yyyy so in my LabVIEW time stamp format should also same.
So Please help me its a very important for my automation application.
Thank You.

Data services with SQL Server 2008 and Invalid time format variable
Hi all
Recently we have switched from DI on SQL Server 2005, to DS(Date Services) on SQL Server 2008. However I have faced an odd error on the query that I was running successfully in DI.
I validate my query output using a validation object to fill either Target table (if it passes), or the Target_Fail table (if it fails). Before sending data to the Target_Fail table, I map the columns using a query to the Target_Fail table. As I have a column called 'ETL_Load_Date' in that table, which I should fill it with a global variable called 'Load_Date'. I have set this global variable in the script at the very first beginning of the job. It is a data variable type:
$Load_Date = to_char(sysdate(),'YYYY.MM.DD');
When I assign this global variable to a datetime data type cloumn in my table and run the job using Data Services, I get this error:
error message for operation <SQLExecute>: <[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid time format>.
However I didn't have this problem when I was running my job on the SQL Server 2005 using Data Integrator. The strange thing is that, when I debug this job, it runs completely successfully!!
Could you please help me to fix this problem?
Thanks for your help in advance.Thanks for your reply.
The ETL_Date is a datetime column and the global variable is date data type. I have to use the to_char() function to be able to get just the date part of the current system datetime. Earlier I had tried date_part function but it returns int, which didn't work for me.
I found what the issue was. I don't know why there were some little squares next to the name of the global variable which I had mapped to the ETL_Date in the query object!!! The format and everything was OK, as I had the same mapping in other tables that had worked successfully.
When I deleted the column in the query object and added it again, my problem solved. -
I have an iMac mid 2010. After Disk utilities said the drive was corrupt, I ran the hardware test (extended) 3 times. No problems. I than ran Disk utility again and got 2 messages in red…keys out of order, and ……Volume corrupt, can't be repaired.
I tried to do a system install, but message said…disk can't be changed. Will a complete erase and install fix this ?
Everything is backed-up.There's hardware and software.
Your drive could physically be in good condition but something has caused the file structure to be messed up (it just happens sometimes). The directory that keep track of files is corrupt. Disk Utility can help determine if that is the issue. In some cases it can repair the problem but it cannot do it to a drive that is being used to boot the system while you are doing that. You have to boot from another drive. Some things DU cannot repair and you need to try a stronger utility such as Diskwarrior.
A failing hard drive (one with mechanical issues) can be a cause of file structure issues but this is by no means always the case. Apart from looking at the SMART diagnosis feature of Disk Utility (and smart isn't totally reliable) there often isn't a way to tell if a drive is failing until it suddenly happens, which is why you need to maintain backups.
In your situation it does sound serious and not just minor directory corruption. You can try erasing (formatting) the drive, You may need to do this if it is really corrupt, in which case there could be underlying physical issues. I use old technology but if you have the patience you can try erasing the drive with the security option of writing zeros once (don't do more unless you are going on a 3 week vacation). This makes the drive not simply assume everything is okay by forcing it try every part of the drive by writing data. If something is gong wrong you may find it marks a lot of bad sectors, or flat out refuses to format. Then you know you need a new drive. -
Ack file date and time format is same as in source xml format
Hi...All,
1) my scenario is file-rfc-file using BPM,
we are getting file in xml format from source along with timestamp and this data will be going to R/3 and the acknowledgement (success or failure) file will be sending back to source system.
in this sceneario we have to fulfill in the follwing client requirement
File1.<same File1 date and time>.XML
Is it possible to make it as the following? if it is possible
could u please let me know how to fulfill the follwing requirement.
ACK File1.<same File1 date and time>.XML
Where <same File1 date and time> format = u2018YYYYMMDDhhmmssu2019 .
2) Is the XML file name visible in the SAP-XI monitoring screen and will it help to trace the messages?
thanks in advance,
Pasi.Hi,
I didnot under stand your first question coulf you be more specfic.
2. Ans : In general , we will follow the below steps
--First we we check for the file is picked or no, if not see the Sender side CC parameters like mode and path details
--If file was picked then we need to check whether we are using the File content conversion parameters or not if yes we need to check the FCC parameters ,
Goto RWB-Channelmonitoring by the following link
http://host:port/mdt/channelmonitorservlet
select the sender side CC name and check for errors
If no errors in above, goto SXMB_MONI for Integration Engine xml processing , check for successful or error occured black or red color
--if success in SXMB_MONI then we need to check in RWB as above channel monitor now select the receiver side CC
If no errors then check for output file is placed intarget or not
Please reward points if it helps
Thanks

RE: Oracle DATE data format conversion..
<C.M> Motta's question about dates and oracle>
Dealing with dates and Oracle is somewhat of a nuisance. Oracle is very
particular about how date strings are formatted, and if you get it wrong,
you get the (unhelpful) message that C.M. Motta showed us. However, if
you pass a DateTimeData to Oracle, Forte' does the right formatting for you.
If you do need to format the date prior to interacting with Oracle, use the
following format:
dd-mmm-yy <time component>
You can change the default format, but it is not easy.
If you customise Express generated code that interacts with an Oracle
database, again, make sure that you pass a DateTimeData, and not the
.TextValue.
Good luck!

Cheers:
Most likely what is happening is that you are using the default date
format of Oracle, and you are sending a four-character year. As follows:
SQL> insert into jimbo values ('01-dec-1997')
2 /
insert into jimbo values ('01-dec-1997')
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire inputstring
>
Oracle defaults to a format of 'dd-MON-yy'
You can either truncate the year, or manipulate the date to match the standard
database as follows:
insert into jimbo values (to_Date('01-jan-1997', 'DD-MON-YYYY'))
\jimbo

Forte Users,
First, Id like to thank all those who answered my question on
droplist & SQL. I got just what I was looking for: its up and runnunig
now.
I have another question: Im trying to insert a DATE into an Oracle
database. The source date is:
data : DateTimeData = new;
data.SetCurrent();
So, when I try to insert data.Value or data.textvalue into DB, I
get the following exception:
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire
input string.
Are there any suggestions?
Thanks for your help,
