XML FORMS - Date Format

Hi,
I have a problem that I am sure is just config, but when opening any xmlforms and displaying they only appear with american date format.
Has anyone changed this format, from what appears the standard?
Will award points for any help.
Thanks
Kai Chalker

Hi Kai,
You can create a custom property in KM and assign a different date format to it.
Then if u use that in your XML Forms, probably u can get the new date format.
In the Additional Metadata row of the KM Property u can enter
customFormat=dd-MMM-yyyy
Please follow this [Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/42/e646150fbc3ee6e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm] link to get more info on the formats

XML Forms - Data model - writing to XML or Doc property

Hi,
Can someone please explain how user data inputted into an XML Form is stored? I understand how it is stored in XML format, but am a little lost with SDN help doco, below:
"Data Model
The data model is a structured description of the data that is stored in XML forms. The data that you enter in forms is written in either an XML file or in properties of documents. A combination of the two is also possible."
(link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8f/fe743c74fa6449e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm)
What does "properties of documents" refer to? Is this an existing document? A new KM resource (not of type XML)? Or is this document property of the XML file being created?
Also, does ALL user input from a form need to be stored as XML files, rather than an XML file or some other resource type?
Many thanks,
Justin

Look at this you wrote "The data that you enter in forms" - writing in "properties of documents" - it means that you can do some changes with KM files from XML forms, or you can administrate (approve doc. and so on).. So all property will be change in KM doc - wich you customize from XML form

SSIS XML task date format issue

Hi, there;
I created an SSIS package XML task to import customer XML data. The LocaleID is set to "New Zealand"
I have an xml file which has date fields as attribute (dd/MM/yyyy). I created this package and run it in an .NET console program.
The interesting thing is that: when I run under my own windows account, I can import data into SQL properly (dd/MM/yyyy), but when I run it as scheduled task (under another special windows account) it gives America format (MM/dd/yyyy).
What I found is that my personal account in AD is set to New Zealand, the special windows account given by the infrastructure engineer
is set to "default" which is American user.
So, my question is that is there any way/something we can set in the package or
XSD somewhere to tell SSIS what the source date format is rather then controlled by the "AD account"?. The reason is that imagine that
if I have 2 XML files from different clients, one is New Zealand date format(dd/MM/yyyy), another one is American date format (MM/dd/yyyy), I want same package (NOT same XML task) to import 2 XML files with result in New Zealand format.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers
Robert

Hi Robert,
Based on your description, there are two scenarios:
You want to format the XML file column date with dd/MM/yyyy or MM/dd/yyyy format to dd/MM/yyyy. In this scenario, we can use Derived Column Transformation to convert the MM/dd/yyyy format to dd/MM/yyyy format for the American XML task, then use the new
column maps to the corresponding Destination column. The following expression is for your reference:
LEFT(RIGHT(Column,7),2) + "/" + LEFT(Column,2)+"/"+ RIGHT(Column,4)
The XML file data already import to SQL table, different country people view the data with different date format. Please note that a datetime column is stored as binary in database, the display format is related to the SSMS server. For more details, please
see the following KB:
INF: How to Set the Day/Month/Year Date Format in SQL Server

PDF Print Forms - Date format

Hi Frnds,
This is my first time to work in PDF print forms.
I am using standard interface and program to print my PDF forms. The PDF form alone is customised.

can i call a subroutine from a Zprogram in the context or interface?
Can anyone help me to solve my issue? thanks a lot.

Adobe Forms Date Format DD.MM.YYYY.

Hi Experts,
I am new to Adobe Forms(Transaction SFP) . The Client has requirement to display the data in DD.MM.YYYY format.
I saw that the standard 'Date fields' in ADOBE forms does not have this format.
Any Ideas.
Thanks.

Hi
Drag and drop the Date/Time Field from Library pallet into Layout. Right click on it -> Go to Palletes -> select Object -> go to the Field tab ->
In Display Pattern you simply specify the date format as DD.MM.YYYY and the active it and test it.
Try this once. It will work.
Thanks

How do I denote a file name for submitted XML form data?

Hi guys, is there a way to change the submitted XML file name [when emailing form data] to something other than the cryptic string livecycle uses e.g. _e8hfydsh55hsksdf.xml
Thanks for any help, cheers Dyr

When you preview a PDF from inside designer, it uses a temp filename for the doc and therefore when you test xml submit etc you will get the 'e.g. _e8hfydsh55hsksdf.xml' as a filename. However if the form is saved locally (e.g. MyForm.pdf) and you use Reader / Acrobat to open the PDF, then the email's subject message as well as the xml file will be MyForm.xml. Does that help you?

XML Form date Manipulation

Dear Experts,
In XML form builder application we need to display the current date + 14 days in the Expiry date filed. The above requirement is cannot be met directly form the XML Form builder application. We need to edit the xsl file to get it done,
<xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="$locDate"/>
</xsl:attribute>
the above is the xsl code for getting current date which is working fine. Now we need to add 14 day from the current date. I tried with
<xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="$locDate"+14/>
</xsl:attribute>
which is giving is NaN. Can you please help in getting this done.
Regards
Noel

Hi Ragav
I tried with the Java script, where I am not able to set the value. Can we manipulate the value is XSL it self

Spurious newline characters in xml form data

I have been given a pdf form(XFA). I have a button that the end user can click and when they do so, it posts the form data as XML to a url. The problem I am having is that it seems to be adding in newline characters like so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<topmostSubform><b12c96nfCert_Nbr>1234
</b12c96nfCert_Nbr>
<b12c96nfOwnship_ID
/>
</topmostSubform>
(this isn't complete stream, just a small sample. The newlines are screwing up my xml parser. Is there any way I can prevent this, or post lean xml with no whitespace?
I have been stripping newline characters inside my service, but obviously this is less than ideal.
When I save the xml directly out of the pdf, it contains these newline characters as well. How can I remove them?
With Respect,
mattie

You could use a regular expression. For example,
var str = this.rawValue;
this.rawValue = str.replace(/\r|\n/g,"");
will globally replace carriage returns (\r) or line feeds (\n) with "".

Importing XML form data, and reading a PDF form in Reader

The title pretty much says it all. My colleagues have the latest in Adobe Reader (9). They would like to import the form data that they receive in their email as an xml attachment. They would like to read the form as it is filled out in their reader.
Please tell me how.

I think they have to have Acrobat to import the data. Reader was not meant to keep data for the user unless Reader Right's are enabled (limited use of form for this typically). The US gov't has done this for years for tax forms at a substantial cost I am sure. The Reader Right's that comes in Acrobat is limited to the number of uses of the form, but the full rights can be negotiated with Adobe for more than 500 uses.
The answer used to be to buy your colleagues Acrobat, it would be cheaper than paying the additional enabling cost. With the limited use of the rights with the current versions, Adobe has made a compromise on there old policy. You might look at PlanetPDF to see if there are some third party applications that would meet your need.

Formatting Date Fields: SET DATE MASK
To define the formatting of date fields, use the SET DATE MASK control command. Executing this command causes all subsequent date fields to be printed using the specified format.
Syntax:
/: SET DATE MASK = 'date_mask'
In the date mask, you can use the following codes:
DD: day (two digits)
DDD: day name - abbreviated
DDDD: day name - written out in full
MM: month (two digits)
MMM: month name - abbreviated
MMMM: month name - written out in full
YY: year (two digits)
YYYY: year (four digits)
LD: day (formatted as for the L option)
LM: month (formatted as for the L option)
LY: year (formatted as for the L option)
All other characters found in a date mask are interpreted as simple text and are copied straight into the output.
Assuming the current system date is March 1st, 1997.
/: SET DATE MASK = 'Foster City, MM/DD/YY'
&DATE& -> Foster City, 03/01/97
/: SET DATE MASK = 'MMMM DD, YYYY'
&DATE& -> March 01, 1997
The date mask may be reset to the default setting by using an empty string:
/: SET DATE MASK = ' '
The abbreviated and full forms of the names of the days and months are stored in the language dependent TTDTG table under the following keys:
%%SAPSCRIPT_DDD_dd: abbreviated day name
%%SAPSCRIPT_DDDD_dd: full form of day name
%%SAPSCRIPT_MMM_mm: abbreviated month name
%%SAPSCRIPT_MMMM_mm: full form of month name
dd: day number 01 = Monday,..., 07 = Sunday
mm: month number 01 = January,..., 12 = December

From 10g and onwards, Oracle doesn't rely on NLS date settings to handle dates in XML.
The supported formats are those of the ISO 8601 : http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#isoformats
SQL> select e.*
2 from xmltable(
3        '/root'

If your date string doesn't conform to the supported formats, use a VARCHAR2 datatype and an explicit TO_DATE in the SELECT :
SQL> select to_date(e.my_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') as my_date
2 from xmltable(
3        '/root'
4        passing xmltype('<root><my_date>2012-04-05 14:35:20</my_date></root>')
5        columns
6          my_date varchar2(30) path 'my_date'
7       ) e ;
MY_DATE
05/04/2012

Using parsed XML as data format for MVC implementation

Instead of using Beans to contain the data for JSP pages I want to use XML objects. For example, a 'Document' object which represents XML data.
I should then be able to interface easily with web services -some clients might require the raw xml string. Furtermore, I am not tied to JSP. I could use XSLT or browser based XSL stylesheets.
The interface between my controller and processes will then also be a 'Document' instead of pre-defined methods.
I would like to know what are the pros and cons of my approach? Is this kind of design used anywhere?

This is not really any direct answer to your question.
However, it may serve as food for your thoughts.
Have you read http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/html/JSPXML.html and http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-03-2000/jw-0331-ssj-jspxml.html
