Date validation in "DD-MON-YYYY" Format,

Hi ,
I have created a textbox with date picker as (dd-mon-yyyy) .
Now i want to create a validation on it for the format (dd-mon-yyyy) .
I have created a pl/sql code with type "function returning error text".
Begin
If :P4_END_DATE IS NOT NULL THEN
if :P4_END_DATE != to_date(:P4_END_DATE ,'DD-MON-YYYY') then
return 'END DATE should be in "DD-MON-YYYY" Format';
end if;
END IF;
End;
When i type in like 20-NOV-08 it gives error as 'START DATE should be in "DD-MON-YYYY" Format',
but when i change month like 20-11-2008 , it actually gives error
ORA-01843: not a valid month
Error ERR-1024 Unable to run "function body returning text" validation.

Error ERR-1024 Unable to run "function body returning text" validation.The call to 'to_date' is raising an exception when it tries to convert your date, standard PL/SQL exception handling takes over and the rest of your code is ignored.
You could try:
declare
pragma exception_init(invalid_date,-01830);
l_dummy date;
Begin
If :P4_END_DATE IS NOT NULL THEN
l_dummy := to_date(:P4_END_DATE ,'DD-MON-YYYY') then
END IF;
exception
when invalid_date then
return 'END DATE should be in "DD-MON-YYYY" Format';
End;
but even that will not check that the user actually used your desired format - the to_date can be quite flexible e.g. accepting separators other than the '-' that you have declared. In fact, the above would only catch the user entering a 'date' that is shorter than the format string - changing the 'invalid_date' for 'others' would capture more (all!) exceptions.
You probably want to look at using regular expressions to perform the format validation.

i executed the same code in a different server where date and time jones are english its working fine.
All the problem is in regional setting and not the jsp code.
<%
String whtEverDateFormatYouWAnt = "dd MMM yy";
String str = new SimpleDateFormat(whtEverDateFormatYouWAnt).format(new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss vvv yyyy").parse("Sun Oct 19 09:05:45 GMT+03:00 2003"));
out.print(str);

Convert DD-MON-YYYY format to MM/DD/YYYY

I have an input date variable L_DATE as 11-Aug-2013(DD-MON-YYYY).
In my procedure, I am converting the input date to MM/DD/YYYY format .
The logic I have used for the same in my Stored Proc- COMPARE2 is:
R_DATE := to_char(to_date(L_DATE,'DD-MON-YYYY'),'MM/DD/YYYY');
But this is the error that I get when the SP is run:
ORA-01843: not a valid month
ORA-06512: at "COMPARE2", line 51
ORA-06512: at line 2
Can anyone suggest how to resolve this??

Page Item with Date format DD-MON-RR - APEX 32

Hello,
I am passing date parameter but somehow it is not formatting date properly on calendars.
For e.g.
Below is my calendar query
select distinct count(*) knt, initcap(username) username, to_date(to_char(trunc(timestamp),'DD-MON-RR'),'DD-MON-RR') ts from xrx_master_records
group by initcap(username), trunc(timestamp)In above query TS is the date column that results in DD-MON-RR format.
Then I format column on calendar tab as shown below, here is how I am constructing the link.
But the issue is - #TS# field shows complete date with time stamp for page item P40_DAILY_DATE. i.e. instead of 21-JUL-10, it shows 21-JUL-2010 12:00:00 AM. That means, it is ignoring calendar query and reads straight from database.
How can I make sure that P40_DAILY_DATE item receives date in DD-MON-RR format?
Then, I plan to use P40_DAILY_DATE to connect with the report region by comparing timestamp column from same table with P40_DAILY_DATE.
Please advice.
Thanks,
R

Convert date format from 'dd/mon/yy' to 'mon/yy'

I know there's probably a load of questions already on this but I can't locate a simple straightforward explanation with examples on how to change the date 'DD/MON/YY' format to a month/year format 'MON/YY'.
Can anyone assist with a useful response, Thanks

Thanks both of you for the prompt responses.
I used the to_char(sysdate,'mmyy') from dual response, but also found the other useful.
Just another quick question, this field was in date format, why did I need to change it to CHAR?DATE datatype have NO format & are stored as BINARY values.
The only datatype that can be presented to screen, CRT, or data file are ASCII CHARACTERS!

Convert varchar2 field into date formatted: DD-MON-YYYY

Thanks in advance for anyone's help on this matter as I know it takes your time and expertise. I am pretty new to SQL but learning my way through it just have an issue with a text to date field conversion. It is an Oracle 10g database and I am writing in SQL. There is a field called Demand which is formatted in varchar2 format of ddmmyy. There is also a field that is formatted as a date called Payment which is formatted as DD-MON-YYYY.
Essentially I need to do a simple Payment >= Demand, however as you can see that is some issue with that being a varchar2 field. Does anyone know if it is possible to do that type of expression against those two fields. Was thinking about possibly converting the varchar2 to a date but not sure how to get to that DD-MON-YYYY format.
Also there are situations where this Demand field will often times be null as it would have never recieved any outbound correspondence in the past and would not have a date at all.
Thanks

Hi,
It's hard to detect bad dates in pure SQL, especially if you need to be precise about when February 29 is valid.
It's easy with a user-define function, like the one in [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=3669932&#3669932].

MON/YYYY period format in OFA r12

Hi,
We recently upgraded from 11i10 to r12.1.3. We found recently the period format in Oracle Fixed Assets has changed to 'MON/YYYY' instead of 'MON-YYYY' format since current FY. If I query the fa_calendar_periods (table) i found the period_name column has data in the same MON/YYYY format.
What do I need to change to get the period name format back to MON-YYYY format. Also, I noticed starting next FY, it lists as 'MON/YYYY-YYYY', which is even more confusing for the users,
I doubt this is oracle standard as it is not consistent across modules such as general ledger, project costing etc. I searched on metalink and found none to help.
If anyone has any solution, please advice.
Thanks in advance,
Kwin.

little more explanation would help here to address the issue.

Date format not working in XML Publisher

Hi,
We have applied a date format while formatting the report layout using the Template.
The same is not getting reflected.
The output is as follows : 5/1/2006 0:0:0
i.e date with time stamp.
We require DD-Mon-RRRR format.
The same has been tried using the Text Form Field Options.
When applying the same for Number it works . But in case of Date it does not.
Can anybody who has worked on the same, let us know the appropriate way to do the same.
Thanks,
Angelica.

XMLP does not recognized the field as date. The only format recognized as date is
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+HH:MM
So, either make the data model to return dates in the above format, and then apply date formatting in XMLP, or do the job on the data model side and return the string in the desired final format (which, again, then will be string, not date for the XMLP)

1. nqsconfig date format
its same for both the two installations
DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mi:ss" ;
DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd" ;
TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "hh:mi:ss" ;
2. make sure that you didn't save date format in column properties from front-end
Just checked and we havan't saved anything in column properties .. even i created new report as well but still format was same ..
3. Did you mention anything in connection pool settings to set date format.
no we havan't mention anything in connection pool
4. Make sure that you are connecting to same database, and date format set for date is same here and there
yahh both the two installatiosn are connected to same database .. but not sure about "date format set for date is same here and there
" hw i can check this
finally, check this: http://108obiee.blogspot.com/2009/04/changing-date-format-mask-in-javascript.html

Date format changes in the middle of a program execution

In my C code I have a series of select statements.
When I first get a session to the database I use the following command to set the date format
alter session set nls_date_format = 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'
It works fine for a few queries. After a while during the program execution I see that the date format changes to 'DD-MON-YY' format. This results in a series of error in my code because I expect the date format to always be in the 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS' format.
Any idea why the date format should change all of a sudden in the middle of the program execution.

I second the idea that you should always use TO_DATE and TO_CHAR if you want to reliably convert between dates and strings.
Without seeing your code, it is hard to say why your date format is changing, but the most likely reason is that you are changing users somewhere in the code. For example:
SQL> show user
USER is "OPS$ORACLE"
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-JUL-2003
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_format='dd-Mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss';
Session altered.
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-Jul-2003 10:15:12
SQL> connect jtest/test
Connected.
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-JUL-2003TTFN

Date format in Discovere Reports

We have created a workbook with a parameter which is supposed to show up an LOV for a parameter in the MON-RR format. Now this LOV shows up
correctly in the Discoverer Desktop edition as MON-RR format, but when we view
the same in Discoverer Viewer it shows up as DD-MON-RRRR.
Earlier we had got a partial resolution on this issue (TAR 3891425.996), wherein by changing the ICX
profile value in Oracle Applications, we are able to set the date mask to MON-R
R.
But now the above profile applies to all the reports and all the dates show up as MON-RR, whereas we want to continue showing the date in DD-MON-RRRR forma
t in some of the reports.
How can this be achieved ?

Date format in the Results

Hi,
Dates in the Query are retrieved in DD-MON-YYYY format. Is there any option to set for retrieving all dates in the desired format?

There is currently no preference for formatting dates returned by queries. However, the dates that are returned are formatted according to the NLS_DATE_FORMAT session variable, which can be changed with the following as an example:
alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI:SS';
If you are selecting timestamps, then you need to alter the NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT, etc - see the NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS view for the different NLS settings.
