Validate date using RE

Hey guys,
Need to validate date using RE in format MM/DD/YYYY and optional HH:MM:SS
I already have simple solution, but would like to add checks for leap year and dates like 02/30/2006 or 04/31/2006
So far I have this:
private static final String datePattern =
"^(0[1-9]|1[012])[- /.](0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- /.](19|20)\\d\\d" +
"(\\s(([0-1]?[0-9]|2[0-3]):([0-5]?[0-9]):([0-5]?[0-9]))){0,1}$";

A much better way is to specify the format of the data and parse it using the SimpleDateFormat class method parse.

How to validate date using case statement.

I have date like 022212. I split month,date,year using STUFF Function. Now, i have to validate month in range 01-12 and date in range 01-31. Can some one help me with the query.
Thanks, Shyam Reddy.

That is not date; it is apparently a string (we have no DDL because you are so rude). Any competent SQL programmer will use DATE. You want help with a query, but there is no query.

Validate data Using Table maintence generator

Hi Gurus,
I need to validate a first 2 char of a field(say fld1-char 3) of a table(say TAB1) against a field (say fld2 -char 2) of another table Tab2.
In the maintence screen PAI ,I am using 'Field & Select' keyword to validate the fld1 against fld2.
Code:
FIELD ZZMAL_HR-DAT00 SELECT   *
            FROM t548y
            WHERE datar = ZZMAL_HR-dat00+0(2)
            INTO DAT00
            WHENEVER NOT FOUND SEND ERRORMESSAGE 001.
But on data insertion screen :
a) on directly entering invalid value to the screen field & pressing save button,it saves it.
b)on taking F4 prompt & selecting the value,it is not copied to the screen field.
Can any body explain how to solve it?
if I am directly hard coding like:
field ZZMAL_HR-DAT00 values ('Z1','Z2','Z3','Z4').
this works fine!
All the code is written in PAI directly.
Since I am not able to create module(unavailability of acess key),i am not able to even use hard coded break points(it becomes a syntax-error) & also call to 'F4- ..' fn etc can not be made in POV, as Call keyword is only allowed in PAI & PBO!(when coding directly in Flow logic without any module).......
Awaiting guidance........
regards,
Gaurav

Before you hit the SAVE button, have you tried putting /h in the command box and hitting ENTER to invoke the debugger? It may be somewhat difficult to work through the SAP generated code. Try and determine if your code is getting executed.
I also see from the documentation on this feature, that the syntax restrictions for SELECT are different from SELECT in ABAP code. Try coding
datar = ZZMAL_HR-dat00
without the offset info and see if that makes a difference. Also try leaving out the INTO clause since you do not really need the data.

What is the best approach/tools/methodolgy to validate data in SSIS

Hi,
I have implemented ETL packages for more than 200 tables . I logged the row count as a first step for testing. Now i would like to implement automation/validate data using test cases.
Being a single resource to do all this process is little difficult for the give time frame:(
Could you please guide me for effective testing scenarios(automation technique) with optimum effort?

I have a script that among all other things does
dtexec.exe package_name /Validate
Other than that, there is a grater danger down the road from schema changes.

How can I validate a date using sql

How can I validate a date using sql or pl/sql

It'll be complicated in pure SQL, as you'll have to parse out day, month and year and then validate the day against the month and year bearing in mind the rules for leap years. It would be simpler to write a PL/SQL function and call that.Nah, not that complicated, you just need to generate a calender to validate against.

How to send te XML data using HTTPS post call & receiving response in ML

ur present design does the HTTP post for XML data using PL/SQL stored procedure call to a Java program embedded in Oracle database as Oracle Java Stored procedure. The limitation with this is that we are able to do HTTP post; but with HTTPS post; we are not able to achieve because of certificates are not installed on Oracle database.
we fiond that the certificates need to be installed on Oracle apps server; not on database server. As we have to go ultimately with HTTPS post in Production environment; we are planning to shift this part of program(sending XML through HTTPS post call & receiving response in middle layer-Apps server in this case).
how i can do this plz give some solution

If you can make the source app to an HTTP Post to the Oracle XML DB repository, and POST contains a schema based XML document you can use a trigger on the default table to validate the XML that is posted. The return message would need to be managed using a database trigger. You could raise an HTTP error which the source App would trap....

How to validate Date

Hi,
We have a date field in the form. I am validating date format as YYYY-MM-DD, validation works fine. But If user enters invalid date, how to validate date? For examples:
2006-02-31 It is an invalid date. How can i validate it.
If anybody have sample code, it will help me a lot.
thanks
Neopal.

Hi Neopal,
You can use something like the following to test the date is valid, use the validation event on the <Field> which you want to validate to call a Rule something like this (not complete)..
<Rule name='isDateValid'>
        <RuleArgument name='date'/>
        <block>
       <script>
          var dateToTest = env.get('date');
          var formatter = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat('YYYY-MM-DD');
          Date validDate = formatter.parse(dateToTest);

Function Module to validate date

EXPORTING
i_date = yourdate

Validate Date Range in inputDate component

Hi
I am using JDev 11.1.1.2.0
I have an inputDate component which on click i need to give dates from today to future dates not passed dates.
So i have included 'validate date time range' component in the inputDate component and in the minimum property i have declared 'adf.currentDate' using expression builder and set the maximum as Jan 31,2099.
But when i execute my application i am able to select passed dates using the inputDate component, please help how can i check the date using a validator in inputDate component.
Thanks
Sudeep

ya i had tried with that property too....
i have declared minValue as adf.currentDate and on that it changes the value of maxValue to current date in Jan 3,2012
i have convertDatetime component in my inputDate to display the selected date in certain format.
It gives error as the format doesnot matches with the convertDatetime and inputDate component.
How can i use the minValue and maxValue of inputDate component?
the component:-
<af:inputDate
label="Planned Termination Date"
id="id2"
value="#{modifyuser.pterminationdate}"
valueChangeListener="#{modifyuserfields.plannedTermDate}"
minValue="adf.currentDate" maxValue="2099-12-31">
<af:convertDateTime pattern="dd-MMM-yyyy"/>
</af:inputDate>

Validate date ?

Dear All,
May I enquire how to validate date for:
textDateofLoss.getText()
Is it:
if isDate(textDateofLoss.getText()){
//True date
else{
//False date}
Please advise.

Sorry, have to use the following:
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public class validateDate {
public static void main(String args[]) {
String dt = "10-10-1990";
String format = "dd-mm-yyyy";
// String dt = "1990-10/10" throws a ParseException
// String dt = "1990-10-35" throws a IllegalArgumentException
try {
//DateFormat df =
//DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
df.setLenient(false); // this is important!
Date dt2 = df.parse(dt);
System.out.println("Date is ok = " + dt2);
catch (ParseException e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
System.out.println("Invalid date");
}

Validate date of Birth

How I can validate date of birth?
Month-Date-Year
Example: 11-21-1960
Thanks

You could use a regular expression:
E.g.
var dateRegExp = "^(0[1-9]|1[012])-(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])-(19|20)\d\d$"; // mm-dd-yyyy
if (oField.rawValue.search(dateRegExp) === -1) {
// error!
Or you could use a date object as suggested in the previous post, but also stop the user from typing in a date so they will be forced to use the date selection box. This would ensure that the date is always in the correct format. To stop the user from typing in data, put the following code in the change event for the field:
if (xfa.event.change.length == 1) {
xfa.event.change = "";

Validate Date and block JavaScript page change

how I can validate date acrobat, can block JavaScript page change, only change with a button?

If you use the "util.scand" method date validation is part of the process. It either returns the number of milliseconds from the Epoch date used by JavaScript for the date time object the null value.
Date Arithmetic has some sample scripts, but you need to keep in mind that Date and Time are not independent and using "new Date()" returns the date and time at the time that line of code is executed and that can cause issues for the computing of dates only.
Are you sure of day count, most differences include the start and end dates in the number of days for the calculation.
Custom calculation for today's date field (format is None):
// get today's date an time
var oToday = new Date();
// set to start of day
oToday.setFullYear(oToday.getFullYear(), oToday.getMonth(), oToday.getDate(), 0, 0, 0, 0)
// set field value
event.value = util.printd("d/mm/yyyy", oToday);
Custom calculation for the difference in days field (format None):
var cEnteredDate = this.getField("EnteredDate").value;
var cToday = this.getField("Today").value;
event.value = "";
if(cEnteredDate != "" && cToday != "") {
// process only if date values not empty
// convert date strings to date time objectat midnight
var oEnteredDate = util.scand("d/mm/yyyy", cEnteredDate );
if (oEnteredDate == null) {
app.alert("Error in processing entered date", 2, 0);
oEnteredDate.setFullYear(oEnteredDate.getFullYear(), oEnteredDate.getMonth(),oEnteredDate.getDate(), 0, 0, 0, 0)
var oToday = util.scand("d/mm/yyyy", cToday);
if(oToday == null) {
app.alert("Error converting today", 2,0);
oToday.setFullYear(oToday.getFullYear(), oToday.getMonth(),oToday.getDate(), 0, 0, 0, 0)
// convert date objects to days
var nEnteredDate = Math.floor(oEnteredDate.getTime() / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
var nToday = Math.floor(oToday.getTime() / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
// compute & format the difference
event.value = util.printf("%,0 1.0f", (nToday - nEnteredDate));

[BPC 7.5] or [BPC 10] Validate data from different periods

Hi,
is it possible to use the standard validation business rule to validate data in different periods? I need a rule that validates the total in my flow dimension from last year end to the value in the opening flow in the current period. Is that possible?
Thanks,
Arnold

Hi Arnold,
I do not think this is possible. You can only compare accounts and flows in the detailed rules. In the Header rules you can specify specific dimensions and time periods.
You can maybe use script logic to write data to the current month into a validation test account from the last year into the current period and then run the validation rules.
Thanks,
John

RegEx to validate date between 1900 & today

Hi,
I have a RegEx which validates the date of birth
(0[1-9]|1[012])[- /.](0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- /.](19|20)dd
But I want it to validate date of birth until today only from 1900
How can I do that using regular expression?

I accept the fact that you mentioned above.
I am planning different RegEx for different date formats.
This application need to be called from a PHP page. so don't find any other way to tackle this issue.

Exit to validate data in CJ01

Hi experts ,
I have a issue in Exits . I need to validate data in CJ01 Project Definition data .
Exactly is there any Badi or Userexit to validate the data at SAVE of the CJ01.
Regards,
Sandeep thota.

Thats a very generic question. You can use various methods for that
1. Use script task and include your validation logic
2. Use derived column transform and do validation using ssis functions and return boolean result based on outcome
3. Get details onto staging table, use t-sql stored procedure etc
If you can explain exact scenario we may be able to suggest more specific answer.
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs
