Using Date functions in DP macros

Hi all,
I am currently developing a macro in DP...and I need to do an action for the first period of a year.
I need to identify the first period for this purpose..I m using the date function Bucket_fiscal_period for this purpose but for soem reasons it is not giving a value of 01 for the first period.
The planning bucket has a weekly bucket pattern.
I tried to use the layoututvariable_set + layoutvariable and then bucket_fiscal_period to try and see if the values are getting set.But this seems not to be happening.
Can anybody tell me whats wrong here?
Thanks and Regards,
Anu

Hello,
If I am understanding your issue correctly you are trying to identify the weekly bucket in which the first day fo the year falls. To accomplish the same I guess the following should work:
OPTION 1:
IF
     WEEK ( DATE ( BUCKET_BDATE ( X ) ) = 1
       THEN
        LAYOUTVARIABLE_SET ( 'FIRSTDAY' )
ENDIF
OPTION 2:
IF
   YEAR_BDATE ( WEEK_BDATE () ) >= WEEK_BDATE ()
    AND
    YEAR_EDATE ( WEEK_BDATE () ) <= WEEK_BDATE ()
         THEN
            LAYOUTVARIABLE_SET ( 'FIRSTDAY' )
ENDIF
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Abhi

How to use data function using characterstics variable for calculation on

how to use data function using characterstics variable for calculation on attribute as key figure

Hi Gayatri
Did you not see my answer for CASE because CASE does indeed offer the use of the BETWEEN clause, but DECODE does not. Let me give you a little synopsis of DECODE.
In its most simple form it takes 4 values and looks like this: DECODE(A, B, C, D)
This essentially means, IF A = B THEN C ELSE D
The trick to solving BETWEEN in a DECODE is to work out algoriths where A = B. Because we don't know how many values are between 00 and 99, although I could guess there were 100 we could of course have 100 parts in the DECODE but that would be awful. How about if we look at it another way and say this:
IF PART_NUMBER < 'SDK00' THEN pay_amount
ELSE IF PART_NUMBER > 'SDK99' THEN pay_AMOUNT
ELSE pay_amount + 100
This statement only had 2 hard coded values, but how to make DECODE work with less than? Easy, we use the LEAST function. The LEAST function takes 2 values and returns the one with the lowest value. So I use LEAST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK00') then whenever the PART_NUMBER is lower than SDK00 it will be true. A similar situation exists for the opposite function GREATEST. Putting all of this together then, you can do this:
DECODE(PART_NUMBER, GREATEST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK00'), DECODE(PART_NUMBER, LEAST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK99'), PAY_AMOUNT * 100, PAY_AMOUNT), PAY_AMOUNT)
In English this can be read as follows:
IF the PART_NUMBER is greater than or equal to SDK00 and the PART_NUMBER is less than or equal to SDK99 THEN PAY_AMOUNT x 100 ELSE 0

How to use date function in my procedure

hi Gurus,
i have a requirement
where user passes the end_date parametre from front end which get convered to
End Date => 2012/05/31 00:00:00
now i based on this end date value i have to calculate the start date which is only month less than the end date, i know i can use add_months function for this requirement but
my problem is
l_start_date :=add_months(fnd_date.canonical_to_date(p_end_date),-1);
(OR)
l_start_date := add_months(to_date(end_date,'DD-MON-YYYY'),-1);
all these are returning date format as DD-MON-YYYY eg;
if user passes from front end 31-may-2012 , in the backend to my procedure it is passing as 2012/05/31 00:00:00
and my procedure calculating start date and returning as '01-MAY-12',
but my requiremnt is
it should return
Start Date => 2012/05/01 00:00:00
any pointers on this is highly appreciable,
thanks in advancee

Running Total (or) Moving Sum (or) Rollup using Date functions

I have to pass the Begin date and End date using prompt in my application (for daily basis for one month, monthly and yearly).
How can i use the date function for Rollup the days values(running total) for the below mentioned SQL
Table.Date field (@Prompt('Begin_Date','D',,mono,free) and @Prompt('End_Date','D',,mono,free)
@prompt automatically takes the begin date and end date.
I need the sql for rollup(running total) on daily basis for one month say jan 1 to jan 31.
Any idea?

Check the Oracle on-line documentation on the ROLLUP option of the GROUP BY clause. It should be able to give you running totals.

Previous quarter from the current date using Date functions

hi all,
how can i get the value of the previous quarter and previous month using using NOW() function in the formula.
regards,
Rk
Edited by: Rk on Feb 13, 2009 9:28 AM

Hi Pk,
This "DSTR(DADD(NOW(),-1,'Q'),'YYYYQ')" will give you just an year 2008 (if you run this today).
But this "DSTR(DADD(NOW(),-1,'Q'),'YYYYMM)" will give you an year and month of prev quarter
200811(if you run this today)

PL SQL using date functions to find partitions

I am trying to teach myself PL SQL and can use a bit of help. I am trying to automate the
dropping of paritions.
Can somebody provide me with an example of how to create some code that will return a liist
of partitions that are older than the N number of years (current year 1/1/2011), or N number of
months, weeks or days...
For example, today is 3/4/2011 How would I create code that will find me partitons that are
older than 2/1/2011 (current first of month -1 month, or ciurrent first of month -N months).
My partition names for all my tables are all in this formate P_YYYY_MM-DD
Please keep in mind this query can retrurn no rows, one row or several rows. If nothing is retrurned
I woiuld liike to print that out for each table.
Thanks in advance to all who answer

This would be a combination of sysdate and either add_months(date,number_of_months) or date-number_of_days, along with a conversion of the date to a pattern that matches your partition name format. Fortunately you've chosen a sensible format that sorts correctly.
So for finding the number of partitions older than so-many years:
select count(*)
from user_tab_partitions
where table_name = ... and
partition_name < to_char(add_months(sysdate,-12*5),'"P"_YYYY_MM-DD') Just be careful about whether you want partitions for which the oldest possible date is older than so-many years, or for which the newest possible date is older than so-many years.
Edit: Oh bear in mind that if you select only COUNT(*) then you'll always get a row back even if no matching partitions are found, and COUNT(*) will be 0. If you selected table_name and count(*) then you would get no rows back for tables that have no matching partitions. COUNT(*) never returns null.

Queries with date functions using PreparedStatement for multiple DB

I am developing application that uses DB independant queries. I am using preparedstatement to process the queries. I need to use date functions for query selection criteria.
for eg.
selecting the list of employees who had joined in the last 15 days
selecting list of employees who had joined between two dates etc.
where Date Joined field is a Timestamp value. To extract date no DB specific function can be used.
If I use setMonth, setYear etc.. to set params in the pstmt the query becomes complex in the above case. Can any one throw some light on how to do the above in preparedstatement or any other better alternative.
Tx a lot

Hi,
I did not mean that way. I presume that there is a timestamp value (may be a date too) column in the table. Then based upon your requirement (say before 15 days) pass the value as date (or time stamp) in the query as a parameter.
String qry = "select * from myTable where join_date <= ?";
stmt.setDate(1,myDate); // this is where you will have to manipulate the value to suit your DB timestamp or date value; you will have compatibility issues with util.Date and sql.Date so use Calendar class to satisfy.Feel free to mail me if you need further clarifications to [email protected]

2) last day of current month.
3) first day of previious month
4) last day of previous month

Date function in XSLT

Hi All,
I am trying to use date function in XSLT, I am using the below code, please correct me if i am wrong
<corecom:EffectiveDate>
<xsl:value-of select='xp20:format-dateTime(ns0:Segment-DTM/ns0:Element-373,"[YYYY][M01][D01]")'/>
</corecom:EffectiveDate>
Regards
Francis

Hi Francis,
It doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the code itself, but what's the content of ns0:Segment-DTM/ns0:Element-373 ???
The xp20:format-dateTime function will work if the date on the first parameter is on ISO 8601 format...
http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime
Examples
1994-11-05T08:15:30-05:00 corresponds to November 5, 1994, 8:15:30 am, US Eastern Standard Time.
1994-11-05T13:15:30Z corresponds to the same instant.

TO_DATE converts from a character string such as '2004-11-24' into an Oracle DATE. If you pass it an Oracle DATE, it first converts it to a character string using the default date format, then converts that back into a date. This is not only inefficient but unsafe, since the default date format can change, breaking your code.
TO_CHAR converts from various datatypes into a VARCHAR2 string. When converting from an Oracle DATE, it can provide the output in a variety of formats.
It's worth bookmarking the Oracle Documentation Library:
10g: download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/nav/portal_3.htm
9i: otn.oracle.com/pls/db92/db92.docindex
TO_DATE(WEF,'DD-MON-YYYY')=TO_DATE(:ADATE,'YYYY-MM-DD');WEF is already a date. If you want to remove any time portion, use TRUNC(wef).

How to use Date data type ?

Hi @,
I have to use date type in my datatype but the format for the same is different and i dont know where to specify the same please help?
Also how to define datetime type with format yyyy-mm-dd.Thh:mm:ss ?
If there any place to specify the format ? I have defined it in pattern ?please correct
Regards

Hi
I guess you can do it message mapping by defining source and destination date types, using date functions currentDate, DateTrans, DateBefore, DateAfter, CompareDates
By default, format of date is
xsd:date
Value is interpreted as date in format CCYY-MM-DD (according to the enhanced representation of ISO 8601).
The abbreviations mean the following:
CC: Century
YY: Year
MM: Month
DD: Day
