Yet another string to date format question

I have searched the forums and cannot find the exact answer I am looking for so here goes.
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("M/d/y");
String strDate = "02/25/04";
Date myDate = sdf.parse(strDate);
gives me : Wed Feb 25 00:00:00 EST 2004
but I need the output of myDate to stay 02/25/04 in order to add the date object to a sql query.
strDate will come from request.getParameter variable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

>
This will only work if I return the value as a string,
which puts me back right where I started. I simply
cannot get the formatted value Wed Feb 25 00:00:00 EST
2004 to return as a Date object 02/25/04. Is this
possible? When using SQL, as stated above use a PreparedStatement.
Use the setDate/setTimestamp/setTime methods to put it into the database.
Use getDate/getTimestamp/getTime to get it out.
The 'Date' classes do NOT store anything as "02/25/04". They store milliseconds since the epoch in UMT (Universal Mean Time = Greenwich Mean Time.) That is all they store.
When you display a 'Date' instance it is converted to a display format. You can use SimpleDateFormat to create any display format that you want.

Red Line? Sounds ominous. I wonder what it means.
So...what does the error say?

String to DATS format conversion in XI.

Hello Experts,
I am using Powerbuilder system to get my Legacy data.In Powerbuilder Date needs to be supplied in STRING format.So I am giving String Format (dd-mmm-yyyy).
However, at SAP end, Date needs to be in DATS format (Standard SAP yyyymmdd) .
In Message Mapping I have given I/P structure as String and O/P structure as DATS format. When I test mapping in XI, it gives me Parseable error.
Can anybody tell me, is there any way in XI to convert from String to DATS format so that I do not get Parseable error.
Please Help!!!!

Lokesh,
With XI there is a date transformation function under date category there you need to provide source date format and target date format..
I have used the same for fetching the data from oracle..and posting into SAP..it works fine..
Try this ..this will solve ur problem....you just need to see what is the exact date format used by powerbuilder internally...

Converting a string into Date format

SQL Date Format question

Hello,
The date format in an Access database is "Date Time" (
1/8/2008 6:14:34
AM ). It's a required format for some functions.
I need to group product orders by date for a simple revenue
summary page.
As the time part of the date is different for all orders,
trying to group
all orders by one date ( 1/8/2008 for example ) won't work.
It results in:
1/8/2008 6:14:34 AM $30.00
1/8/2008 7:50:23 AM $20.00
I need it to be:
1/8/2008 $50.00
I've tried convert and datetime but am having some kind of
brain cramp I
think and can't get it to work.
The base SQL is:
SELECT order_Date, Sum(order_Total) as TotalAmt FROM
OrderDetails
GROUP BY order_Date
Usage:
<% While ((Repeat1__numRows <> 0) AND (NOT
Recordset1.EOF)) %>
<td><%= Recordset1("order_Date") %></td>
<td><%= Recordset1("TotalAmt") %></td>
Repeat1__index=Repeat1__index+1
Repeat1__numRows=Repeat1__numRows-1
Recordset1.MoveNext()
Wend
%>
Any ideas are appreciated.
Take care,

Hi Baxter,
I will be summing the totals, but I haven't added that yet.
The date format was the big hurdle.
I just have to figure out how to format the date back to
mm/dd/yyy in the
repeat region on the page now.
It's coming out of the rs as yyyy/mm/dd
<%=Recordset1("orderDate")%>
I'm thinking I'll need to set up a function to format the way
orderDate
displays.
<%=FriendlyDate(Recordset1("orderDate"))%>
But, time for a break. Thanks again for the ideas.
Take care,
Tim

String into date format

Hi
I was wondering if anyone knew how to convert a string into different formats,
to enable it to be stored in a mysql db.
I was wondering anyone you knew how to convert:
- String into the date format yyyy-mm--dd
- String into time format 00:00:00
- string to double
Ive tried:
c_date = java.sql.Date.valueOf(f_date);
System.out.println("conversion data: " +c_date);
c_time = java.sql.Time.valueOf(f_time);
System.out.println(" time converted data: "+c_time);
// string to double conversion
c_change = java.lang.Double.valueOf(f_change);
System.out.println(c_change);
My class doesnt execute this at all?
Also,
SimpleDateFormat sdft = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
c_date = sdft.format(f_date);
System.out.println(c_date);
.. but this method returns the error incompatible types?
Any suggestions would be helpful.. thanks in advance..

Check if they are valid or not. and make sure todate is either equal or greater than fromdate. Please help me to solve this problem.

Test String for date format

Is there a function that reads a string and can return yes/no if the string matches a specified date format (example: mm/dd/yy)? I wish to avoid parsing the string character by character.
Thanks,
George

BTW,
I used the following example code available from this site. I was able to easily modify it to sovle my problem.
try {
SimpleDateFormat formatter =
new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy");
Date d = formatter.parse(
"Tuesday, January 03, 1956");
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(
"EE, MMM d, yy");
d = formatter.parse("Tue, Jan 3, 56");
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(
"EE, MM d, yy");
d = formatter.parse("Tue, 01 3, 56");
process(d);
} catch (ParseException e) {
On to the next challenge...

Business One date format question

Hi,
Business One formats dates coming out of the database as specified by the user. But it looks like, when you set a date variable in your program code to the value coming out of the database and you set an edit text value to that variable, Business One doesn't format it. Am I right? I have a solution but I just want to make sure that there isn't something I'm missing. I'm using VB .NET 2005.
Thanks,
Mike
Edited by: Mike Angelastro on Jan 21, 2010 12:44 PM

Vasu,
Thanks for your suggestion. I followed it but it doesn't seem to work. The format appears to be more consistent with the machine's data format instead of what was specified in the general settings. Here is my code:
oDetailForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add("dsDueDate", SAPbouiCOM.BoDataType.dt_DATE)
oEditText.DataBind.SetBound(True, , "dsDueDate")
If Year(DueDate) > 1901 Then
oEditText.Value = DueDate 'Format(DueDate, SystemDateFormat)
Else
oEditText.Value = "N/A"
End If
Is my code correct?
Thanks again,
Mike

JFileChooser and date format questions

I have a JFileChooser that currently works - I set the default directory and allow the user to select a file or enter a file name.
I have been asked to modify this to prepopulate the file name field on the JFileChooser.
How do I do that? It is not obvious which method to call to set the filename field.
Also, the file name needs to be a timestamp "*yyyyMMddHHmmss*.dat"
I tried creating the timestamp part with the following code, but it does not format as expected.
        String s = "";
        SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddddHHmmss");
        try
            java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date();
            java.util.Date dat = dateFormat.parse( now.toString() );
            s = dat.toString();
        }What is wrong with this?
Thanks.

Function returning string. Data type question

Hello all,
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
Our database has a parent record master_member_record_id & and children of those records member_record_id. I wrote a function which returns the master record for the child.
eg. get_master(member_record_id). simple enough.
I have wrote the opposite of this also, get_member_records(master_member_record_id). Obviously this function has multiple records to return so I have it set to return a listagg string with ',' separation. They want to be able to use this function as follows:
select * from member_table where member_record_id in (get_member_records(master_member_record_id));
or something similar, I realize this is a data type issue here, wondering if this is even possible. What do you think?
Thanks in advance for your criticism/help,
Chris

My disagreement is with how pipeline table functionality is used.
Instead of this (what it sounds like the OP is doing but returning CSV format)
create or replace type TClientIdArray is table of number;
create or replace function GetClientIDs( parentID number ) return TClientIdArray is
array TClientIdArray;
begin
select
    client_id bulk collect into array
from master_table
where parent_id = parentID;
return( array );
end;A pipeline would look as follows:
create or replace type TClientIdArray is table of number;
create or replace function GetClientIDs( parentID number ) return TClientIdArray pipelined is
begin
for c in (select
               client_id
             from master_table
             where parent_id = parentID ) loop
    pipe row( c.client_id );
end loop;
return;
end;The first method is in fact more sensible in this case, especially when used from PL/SQL. A single SQL call/context switch to get a list of client identifiers. The issues with the first method are
- cannot effectively deal with a large data set of client identifiers
- would be suboptimal to use this function in subsequent SQL
- if called by a client, a ref cursor (not collection) should be returned
But assuming that the list of client identifiers are needed to be stepped through via complex PL/SQL app processing, using a (small) array is fine (assuming that concurrency/locking is not needed via a FOR UPDATE on the select that identifies the client identifiers to process).
A pipeline in this case does not do anything better. It introduces more moving parts - as a native PL/SQL can no longer be used to get the collection and step through it. A TABLE() SQL function is needed, a SQL statement, and more context switching.
The pipeline is simply an unnecessary layer between the code wanting to use the client identifiers and the SQL statement supplying the client identifiers. This approach of SQL -calls-> PIPELINE -calls-> MORE SQL is invariable wrong - unless the pipeline (PL/SQL code) does something very funky with the data from its SQL call, prior to piping it, that cannot be done using SQL.
If the "user" of that client identifiers is SQL code, then both the above methods are flawed. As this code is already SQL, why use PL/SQL to call more SQL code? Simply use the SQL code/logic that supplies the client identifier list directly in the SQL code that needs the client identifiers. This means something like SQL JOIN, EXISTS, or IN clauses.

Time Zone Offset - Date Format question

I'm wondering if any one knows how to display the time zone offset of a date in the following format "[+-]HH:mm." More so... I need the date/time in the ISO 8601 format "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss[+-]HH:mm", where the last [+-]HH:mm is the hour representation of the offset. Here's some sample code...
SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");
Calendar rightnow= Calendar.getInstance();
// So if system date/time is February 14, 2002 at 1:15:00 PM EST, this would produce "2002-02-14T13:15:00"
System.out.println("Current Datetime" + sdf1.format rightnow.getTime());
How can I get the timezone offset appended to my output in a [+-]HH:mm format. So, the above date needs to look like "2002-02-14T13:15:00-05:00". I can get the offset in milliseconds by doing the following:
int offset1 = rightnow.get(rightnow.ZONE_OFFSET) + rightnow.get(rightnow.DST_OFFSET);
But how can you get this representation into the [+-]HH:mm format?
thanks in advance,
stophman

Try something like this:import java.text.* ;
import java.util.* ;
static public String formatISO8601(Calendar cal) {
     * create ISO 8601 formatter for Calendar objects
    MessageFormat iso8601 = new MessageFormat("{0,time}{1,number,+00;-00}:{2,number,00}") ;
    // need to shove a date formatter that is cognizant of the
