I am getting this output:

How to write date format in bdc

how to write date format in bdc report

Hi,
First you have a data decleration i.e data l_format(10) type c.
now if a variable say l_date which is of sy-datum type, you will have to <b>write l_date to l_format</b>, this will transfer the date in which you(user) have set the date format in user settings. Never hard code the format such as dd.mm.yyyy. or mm/dd/yyyy because the may have different formats, and the BDC will fails. After you have used write to to new l_format, pass this new value to BDC recording.

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

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...

Not sure id this helps...
I was up against a similar issue of placing the user input dates, Starting & Ending, into one cell for a reference on each report header. After a few hours of diligence, I came up with a working model that finally worked:
u_StartDateAsTXT=FormatDate(ToDate(UserResponse("Enter Date/Time Shipped (Start):");"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");"MM/dd/yyyy")
and
u_EndDateAsTXT=FormatDate(ToDate(UserResponse("Enter Date/Time Shipped (END):");"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");"MM/dd/yyyy")
The report header has the following function:
=u_StartDateAsTXT + u201C u2013 u201C + u_EndDateAsTXT

OIM11gR2: Changing Default Date format in calendar input

Hi Experts,
There are certain OOB fields in OIM like "Hire Date", "Provisioning date" that accept input from calendar control.
I could see the default input format is like MM/DD/YY (eg: 12/13/12) when i click on calendar icon and select any date range
But i want the functionality like if i select a date from calendar it should get populated as "MMM dd, yyyy" eg (Dec 13, 2012) in text box.
Please help me out!!
thanks in advance.

Apologies... when I read the question through the first time I didn't work out that you were using the query window inside the Deverloper Tools for Visual Studio .NET. The OracleGlobalization object would be used in .NET code.
I don't know a way to override the date format in the query window other than doing a to_char() on the date in the query.
Something like:
select to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from dualSorry about that,

Clearing the data buffer from the input fields

Hi,
I am using an user exit CONFPP02 for the Tcode: co11n. I have written a program such that the confirmation numbers having the status CNF will not be allowed to be processed. The whole confirmation is terminated when the system checks the confirmation number and its status as CNF. If the status of the confirmation number is PCNF, the program allows the further processing of the Tcode Co11n.
The problem starts when the user enters the PCNF status confirmation number and enters, the system stores the values in the various input fields. Now without exiting the initial confirmation screen, if the user replaces the Confirmation number of the PCNF status to the Confirmation number of the CNF status , the system issues a warning message:" Confirmation no. or order/sequence/operation has been changed
However, the input fields still contain default values from thepreceding confirmation". if the user says yes, the program written is bypassed , thus allowing the reconfirmation of the CNF confirmation number into PCNF confirmation number .
Can anybody suggest a suitable method to clear the data stored defultly in the input fields so that the program can be made to work.
With regards,

Hi Gilad,
I never use Preview and did not use Preview at all before sending the document over to my most recent client either.
I only opened Preview up this morning after I discovered that all of the form data had disappeared on his end! And the only reason I opened up Preview was because I already knew it looked fine in Acrobat so wanted so wanted to view the form in a different application.
My client would not even have notified me about it had he not sent the signed form back to me and I saw there was no data there! I then called him and asked him about the missing data and he said that he thought I had simply sent over the form purposely with blank fields:(
I have just emailed him to ask him what application he opened it up in. My understanding is that he is on Windows because ne mentioned to me his company was using Windows when we last spoke. Perhaps he has a personal Macbook where he opened it? I just don't know and can hopefully soon find out:)
But THANK YOU for letting me know about that script! I appreciate it:) I have now downloaded and installed it and will just have to use it on ALL of my forms before sending them out:)

Date Formatting in a Result Field: Crystal Reports 2008

I'm modifying a report at runtime in c# .Net using Crystal Reports 2008.
I'm having trouble modifying a date fields format. I have accessed the DateFieldFormat object, and modified the properties, but only the SystemDefaultType property seems to have any affect.
If the Date format is set in the Visual Report Designer I can see the details of the format in DateFieldObject, but editing these values doesn't have any affect on the report once displayed.
Here is a sample of the code i'm using:
public Form1()
     InitializeComponent();
     CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument reportDocument = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
     ISCDReportClientDocument reportClientDocument;
     // Load Report
     reportDocument.Load(@"C:\myReport.rpt");
     reportClientDocument = reportDocument.ReportClientDocument;
     // Access Field
     FieldObject fieldObject = (FieldObject)reportClientDocument.ReportDefinition.DetailArea.Sections[0].ReportObjects["DateField1"];
     // These work, if I want to use one of the default formats
     // fieldObject.FieldFormat.DateFormat.SystemDefaultType = CrDateSystemDefaultTypeEnum.crDateSystemDefaultTypeUseLongDate;
     // fieldObject.FieldFormat.DateFormat.SystemDefaultType = CrDateSystemDefaultTypeEnum.crDateSystemDefaultTypeUseShortDate;
     // I don't want to use one of the defaults.
     fieldObject.FieldFormat.DateFormat.SystemDefaultType = CrDateSystemDefaultTypeEnum.crDateSystemDefaultTypeNotUsingDefaults;
     // I want to change the order of the values
     fieldObject.FieldFormat.DateFormat.DateOrder = CrDateOrderEnum.crDateOrderDayMonthYear;
     // Display the report in the viewer
     crystalViewer.ReportSource = rpt.rcd.ReportSource;
I'm assuming I'm missing something about the object model here, but I can't find any good reference to it. Can someone help me out?
Thanks!

Hello,
I find using the Object Browser in .NET IDE is very useful. Or look for the Developers help file
The API you are using is not the one to use. Try this one:

JTextField - Show date format mask while inputing

I have searched through the forums and I have not found an instance of someone try to show the format mask while a user inputs chars:
ex: **/**/**** <-- Initialized
1*/**/**** <-- After first integer
10/3*/**** <-- After third integer
I would also like the keep the caret position at the last integer and not always at the end of the input.
Also if a user enters a "t"||"T" that it will automatically enter today's date.
Is there a quick way? I have tried to use a DefaultStyledDocument but have not had success.

Hi
Write a user defined function
where u can use the java code
Format formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
here u can specify the required date format.
so ur input will be a string with the date,
so convert the date string into a Date object and then format the date according to ur need.
Date dtobj = new Date(strgDate);    //convert the string into date object.
Format formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");    //specify the required format.
formatter.format(dtobj);    //format ur date
return dtobj;

Date format is not working properly for Calender value help

Hi Experts,
We have two problems.
1. We want to change the format of date displayed. We want format of dd-MMM-yy. For that we have created one Simple
Type Dictionary Object with Displaying format dd-MMM-yy. It is working
fine for the non editable UI. But once I apply the dictionary type
object as data type for an input field, probem happens. Once the user
choose a date from calender value help the value in the input field is
coming like 01-011-12 not like 01-Jan-12.
The date format is not changing from the calender. But if we set the
display format of the dictionary object to MM-dd-yy or MM/dd/yy or
dd/MM/yy or dd-MM-yy the format conversion from calender to input field
is happening properly.
The only problem once we put MMM in place of MM for the input field
where user is selecting from a calender value help.
2. We want to restrict users from entering the value manually for date input field. The user
should be able only to enter value by selecting from calender value
help.
Please give suitable solution for these problems
Thanks

Date format error while accessing date from SQLSERVER

Hi all, in me webdynpro application I have taken Date type for the Input Field.
At date select it is displaying in the format
*2/14/2009 i.e. mm/dd/yyyy*
And when I am saving date in the sql database then the date format changes to..
2009-02-14 i.e..yyyy/mm/dd.
But using the Date format method I have changed the format as per the need to push date in the SQL database table...
In the table SQL the date attribute is in form i.e.    02/14/2009 as like from the date select from the date Input Fieldu2026But the problem is that database is not being able to display in that Input field again.
I have use the coding both at Insertion and selection of the database i.e..
Date Sdate, Edate;
Sdate     =   Date.valueOf (rs.getString ("Sdate"));
Edate     =   Date.valueOf (rs.getString ("Edate"));
SimpleDateFormat date Formatter = new SimpleDateFormat ("MM/dd/yyyy");
Sdate = wdContext.currentProjectElement ().getEdate ();
Edate = wdContext.currentProjectElement ().getEdate ();
String Sd = dateFormatter.format (Sdate);
String Ed = dateFormatter.format (Edate);
Date Sdd =Date.valueOf (Sd);
Date Edd =Date.valueOf (Ed);
But at selection of the database the error for the date format isu2026.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
If somebody knows how to resolve this ,plz let me know
Regards:
SK

for displaying the value only, I think, you are converting to string.
sol1:
1. Create a simple type in dictionary: under Dictionary -> Local Dictionary -> Simple Types
2. go to Definition tab: Change Built-in Type as Date
3. go to Representation tab: specify format e.g.: MM/dd/yyyy
4. go to Context and change the date context attribute to the created type.
sol2:
please try to minimize the casting between Date and String.
I believe in database date is stored as Date type itself. My suggestion will be for displaying keep a separate attribute and set it on each db call.
below code is converting from Date to String.
Date Sdate, Edate;
Sdate = rs.getDate ("Sdate");
Edate = rs.getDate ("Edate");
SimpleDateFormat date Formatter = new SimpleDateFormat ("MM/dd/yyyy");
String Sd = dateFormatter.format (Sdate);
String Ed = dateFormatter.format (Edate);

How to set Date in input field by hard coding in application

Hi
Check the http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/sql/Date.html
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Calendar.html
Sample Code
Date now = new Date();
      DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance();
      String s = df.format(now);
      System.out.println("Today is " + s);
java.sql.Date descends from java.util.Date, but uses only the year, month and day values. There are two methods to create a Date object. The first uses a Calendar object, setting the year, month and day portions to the desired values. The hour, minute, second and millisecond values must be set to zero. At that point, Calendar.getTime().getTime() is invoked to get the java.util.Date milliseconds. That value is then passed to a java.sql.Date constructor:
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    // set Date portion to January 1, 1970
    cal.set( cal.YEAR, 1970 );
    cal.set( cal.MONTH, cal.JANUARY );
    cal.set( cal.DATE, 1 );
    cal.set( cal.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0 );
    cal.set( cal.MINUTE, 0 );
    cal.set( cal.SECOND, 0 );
    cal.set( cal.MILLISECOND, 0 );
    java.sql.Date jsqlD =
       new java.sql.Date( cal.getTime().getTime() );
The second method is java.sql.Date's valueOf method. valueOf() accepts a String, which must be the date in JDBC time escape format - "yyyy-mm-dd". For example,
    java.sql.Date jsqlD = java.sql.Date.valueOf( "2010-01-31" );
creates a Date object representing January 31, 2010. To use this method with a Calendar object, use:
    java.sql.Date jsqlD = java.sql.Date.valueOf(
            cal.get(cal.YEAR) + ":" +
            cal.get(cal.MONTH) + ":" +
            cal.get(cal.DATE) );
which produces a Date object with the same value as the first example.

Sqlldr date format

Dear experts,

Do you know where/how to force SQLLDR to interpret it correcly? Is it somehow related to NLS_Lang. settings?

F:convertDateTime - how to define two valid date formats?

I have an input field that accepts a date. There are two valid date formats allowed: yyyyMMdd & yyyyMMM
I am currently doing this ...
<h:inputText ...>
<f:convertDateTime pattern="yyyyMMdd" />
<f:convertDateTime pattern="yyyyMMM" />
</h:inputText>
... but only the second date format is being accepted as valid.
How can I specify two valid date formats for the input?

rhExpecting = assuming. Its getting old and annoying now, but it remains a very bad idea.
The fact of the matter is that you have a very specific need. There is only one way to tailor to specific needs in a generic API: allow to override default behavior. The other option is to create a bloated API that tries to incorporate so many bells and whistles that it becomes unusable. So in my opinion, JSF is designed exactly the way it is supposed to be in this respect.
