Date has a parse method, and I think DateField has methods
for this.

  • How to convert a string to date using OLEDB function?

    Is there any function similar to OCIDateFromText()?
    I have to read the date from a text file and store it in the sql database in a date column.
    Please suggest how to do it?
    Thanks in Advance.

    In addition, SQL Server 'likes' YYYYMMDD format to operate with dates.

  • Using XML Operation Tags to query by date

    Problem 1:
    When I use timestamps from items' XML to form queries on repositories, I receive SQL errors.
    Problem 1 Example:
    Query the PublishingRepository to find all active projects created on August 16.
    In Dynamo Administration, navigate to /atg/epub/PublishingRepository
    In the box labeled "Run XML Operation Tags on the Repository," enter the following tag:
        <query-items item-descriptor="project">status = "Active" AND creationDate = "08/16/2013"</query-items>
    Result: java.sql.SQLDataException: ORA-01843: not a valid month
    Problem 1 Solution:
    Use this query instead:
    <query-items item-descriptor="project">
    status = "Active"
    AND
    creationDate = date("2013-08-16")
    </query-items>
    Problem 2:
    Using the "<" operator to construct a less-than argument doesn't work.
    Problem 2 Example:
    Query the PublishingRepository to find all active projects created before August 16.
    In Dynamo Administration, navigate to /atg/epub/PublishingRepository
    In the box labeled "Run XML Operation Tags on the Repository," enter the following tag:
        <query-items item-descriptor="project">status = "Active" AND creationDate < date("2013-08-16")</query-items>
    Result: SOURCE:org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.
    Problem 2 Solution:
    For some reason, the ">" greater-than operator seems to work fine, even when the "<" less-than operator won't. You can switch around the order of the query to get the desired result:
    <query-items item-descriptor="project">
    status = "Active"
    AND
    date("2013-08-16") > creationDate

  • Using OR operator with string

    How we can use OR operator with string in java??

    Gaurav1 wrote:
    its logical OR operator;how can we use it with matcher classLike its been said already. The "logical OR" is used the same everywhere.
    Why don't you post the code you're having problems with. (Only the relevant areas, please. And use code tags.)

  • Why not use "new" operator  with strings

    why we not use new when declaring a String .because in java String are treated as objects. we use new operator for creating an object in java .
    and same problem wiht array when we declare array as well as initialize .here we are alse not using new for array
    why

    Strings aren't just treated as objects, Strings are Objects.
    As for why not using new for Strings, you can, if you want.:
    String str = "this is a string";
    and
    String str = new String("this is a string");
    do the same thing (nitty-gritty low level details about literals aside). Use whatever you like, but isn't it simpler not to type new String(...) since you still need to type the actual string?
    As for arrays, you can use new:
    int[] ints = new int[10];
    or
    int[] ints = { 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 9 };
    But the difference here is you are creating an empty array in the first one, the second creates and fills the array with the specified values. But which to you often depends on what you are doing.

  • How to get a date using a String.

    Hello!
    I've got this code:
    Calendar s=null;
    String dateStr1=s.getInstance().getTime().toString());
    String dateStr2=s.getInstance().getTime().toString());
    I can't save these two dates in Date form, but only as Strings because it must be this way for my reasons.
    I then want to compare the initial Dates. Is there any way to get the two Dates using these two Strings? I found
    Date myDate1=new Date(String s); but it doesn't work.
    Thanks.

    sigh I just realized I said "string
    string" when I meant "strong string" in
    the previous reply, and can't edit it now.It doesn't need to be that strong anyway. Tie a Patek watch to one end and leave it on the sidewalk outside a restaurant. When you see a woman reach for it, jerk it away. Keep repeating until she reaches your table. Congratulations, you have a date! Granted, it won't be very long date...

  • Why r we allowed to create String objects with & without using new operator

    While creating any object, usage of the new operator is a must...but only for the string object we can create it with and also without new operator how is it possible to create an object without using new operator.

    Because Mr. (Dr.?) Gosling is a kindly soul who realizes that programmers have deadlines and, when he designed Java, was not so rigid or unbending as not to realize that from time to time, certain shortcuts are warranted, even in a relatively pure language such as Java. The direct String literal assignments are a shortcut over using the new operator making Java programming (and execution; there's also a performance benefit) more streamlined.
    So look not the gift horse in the mouth, but simply bask in the simplification and ease on the eyes and directly assign your little literals to your heart's content.

  • Facing problem during uploadation of Routing data using CA01-BDC - URGENT

    Dear All,
    When I am trying to upload Routing data using CA01 in the Table Control scenario, then I am facing problem as my last 2 records are not getting uploaded from my Test file.
    For example, I am having 47 records in my Test File and after setting ‘Default size’ parameters (to avoid screen resolution problem)
    I have 15 table control line items data per page. The Page down logic ('=P+') is working fine, but my below BDC code failed to take
    the remainder last 2 records from the Test File.
    Analysis: When I am running my “Call Transaction” bdc in foreground, then the 1st page down occurs after 15th record, 2nd page down occurs after 29th record( as in Table Control 1st page’s 15th record is coming on the Top of 2nd page). 3rd page down occurs after 43rd record
    (as 2nd page’s 29th record is coming on the top of 3rd page). In the 4th Table Control Page 43rd record of previous page is coming on top, and then it’s taking 44th & 45th records from the Test File and then it is triggering SAVE (=BU). Thus, our last 2 records
    (i.e. 46th, 47th record) are not getting uploaded in the routing screen from our Test File.
    If anybody has encountered this scenario previously, please help me URGENTLY in fixing the bugs here. It’s VERY, VERY URGENT…
    FYI. For others 45 successful records already uploaded, all the screen fields values are coming properly in the routing screen, and here there is no issue.
    Thanks very much…

    Would request you to post this to ABAP-Forum for Immediate response.
    I had this problem, but the ABAP guy did something to correct this...it was more of screen resoultion difference between the recorded system and uploading system. Please try to use the same system which was used to record and try.

  • Formatting incoming string with date/time classes?

    Hello,
    In the software I am writing currently I am @ a certain point talking to an external device. sending requests, receiving responses.
    One of the things I find in the response is "20090429094222", as a string.
    I cannot change anything to that, thats the way I get it from the device, so thats where I'll have to start with.
    As you could probably guess this is a date and a time. Now my question. Is there a good way to format this from 20090429094222
    to
    2009-04-29 09:42:22
    using date and or time classes, not using String operations?
    Thanks in advance.

    I found a class containing 2 functions who do exactly what I need, for those intrested:
    public static Date convertStringToDate(String txtFormat, String txtDate) {
            DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(txtFormat);
            Date date =  dateFormat.parse(txtDate);
            return date;
    public static String formatDate(Date date, String txtFormat) {
            DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(txtFormat);
            String txtDate = dateFormat.format(date);
            return txtDate;
        }Using them this way gives me exactly what I want:
    Date dt = DateUtil.convertStringToDate("yyyyMMddHHmmss", incomingDateSTring);
    String newDateString = DateUtil.formatDate(dt, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");Problem solved, thanks alot to those who gave me some explanation on the problem.

  • Typecasting message queue data for DQGoop Inheritance

    I made a test typecasting message queue data type and tried to access and modify my datas.
    It works in one way but when I try to copy something into my data labview crash...
    I guess labview realocates my data space.
    Does anybody have an idea how to outpass that thing?

    Your example crashed for me. I suggest you should use flattened strings instead of type cast. I made an example of how to use flattened strings for upcasting and downcasting class member data elements. After I made the example I noticed that it doesn't work with LV 7.1 since flatten to string has different functionality. I also managed to make virtual function calls.
    So the LV 8.0 example of data structure that can be used to implement class inheritace are attached.
    Also the broken 7.1 version is attached. The rest of the binary string terminal of the Unflatten From String in the middle of the vi should be connected to the unconnected terminal of the Concatenate Strings.

  • Error while using between operator with sql stmts in obiee 11g analytics

    Hi All,

    can anyone help me out in resolving this issue.

    Hi All,
    Thank u all for ur replies, but I dint the exact solution for what I'm searching for.
    If I use the condition as
    "WHERE "Workforce Budget"."Used Budget Amount" BETWEEN MAX("Workforce Budget"."Total Eligible Salaries") AND MAX("Workforce Budget"."Published Worksheet Budget Amount"",
    all the data will be grouped with the two columns which I'm considering in the condition.
    my actual requirement with this query is to get the required date from a table to generate the report either as daily or weekly or monthly report. If I use repository variables, variables are not getting refreshed until I regenerate the server(which I should not do in my project). Hence I have created a table to hold weekly start and end dates and monthly start and end dates to pass the value to the actual report using between operator.
    please could anyone help me on this, my release date is fast approaching.

  • Multipart/form-data using HTTPService, sending a binary file and some text in the same request.

    Hi There,
             I am new to FLEX and also new to writing a client for a web service.
    My question is more about flex (Flash builder 4.5) APIs, what APIs to use.
    I want to access a web service, that's published here.
    https://build.phonegap.com/docs/write_api
    here is the description of webservice
    ===========
    1) I have to do a post on POST https://build.phonegap.com/api/v1/apps
    2) content type has to be "multipart/form-data"
    3) JSON bodies of requests are expected to have the name 'data'
      data will be someting like this
    'data={"title":"API V1 App","package":"com.alunny.apiv1","version":"0.1.0","create_method":"file"}'
    4) include a zip file in the multipart body of your post, with the parameter name 'file'.
    ===========
    I want to make a 'multipart/form-data' Post and send
    one string and one zip file.
    My first question to self was If i send both string + binary data in the body ...
    how will server understand where string end and where zip file starts?
    Then read on W3.org( http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.2 )
    How is text + binary data can be sent through "multipart/form-data" post requst.
    there has to be some boundries.
    After this I read and example in flex and  tried following it.
    http://codeio.wordpress.com/2010/04/03/5-minutes-on-adobe-flex-mimic-file-upload-for-in-me mory-contents/
    but it doesn't seems to be working for me.

    In the past I have used URLVariables with URLRequest and URLLoader to achieve this kind of requirement.
    Check out http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=17_Networking_and_communications_3 .html which should be useful. My preference has always been to use this style instead of HTTPService objects, giving you a little more control which is what you need here.
    Let me know if you need any more assistance.

  • Convert String to Date and Format the Date Expression in SSRS

    Hi,
    I have a parameter used to select a month and year  string that looks like:    jun-2013
    I can convert it to a date, but what I want to do is,  when a user selects a particular month-year  (let's say "jun-2013")
    I  populate one text box with the date the user selected , and (the challenge Im having is)  I want to populate a text box next to the first text box with the month-year  2 months ahead.    So if the user selects 
    jun-2013   textbox A will show  jun-2013 
    and textbox B will show  aug-2013..
    I have tried:
    =Format(Format(CDate(Parameters!month.Value  ),  
    "MM-YYYY"  )+ 2  )   -- But this gives an error
    This returns the month in number format   like "8"    for august...
    =Format(Format(CDate(Parameters!month.Value  ), 
    "MM"  )+ 2  )
    What is the proper syntax to give me the result    in this format =  "aug-2013"  ???
    Thanks in advance.

    You can convert a string that represents a date to a date object using the util.scand JavaScript method, and then format a date object to a string representation using the util.printd method. For more information, see:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.1254.html
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.1251.html
    In your case, the code would be something like:
    var sDate = "2013-01-10";
    // Convert string to date
    var oDate = util.scand("yyyy-mm-dd", sDate);
    // Convert date to new string
    var sDate2 = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", oDate);
    // Set a field value
    getField("date2").value = sDate2;
    The exact code you'd use depends on where you place the script and where you're getting the original date string, but this should get you started.
