Convert the form field to the date format
I have a form with date fields and you want to enter dates in this format: 03222012 and displayed it as: 12/03/2012. In other words, I don't want to have to put the slashes just in the number. I am using Adobe Pro X and you prefer not to use the livecycle designer.
One thing I would recommend is to validate that the original string is the right length before you do this, otherwise you may get incorrect date value.
var str = event.value
pieces of var = [];
var chunkSize = 2;
If (str.length == 6) {}
so that {(str)
If (str.length< chunksize)="">
chunks.push (STR);
break;
} else {}
chunks.push (str.substr (0, chunkSize));
Str = str.substr (chunkSize);
}
Str = chunks.join('/')
}
Event.Value = str
You can either keep the original value if the length of the string is not correct, I have, or have it display something like "invalid."

The date format custom - every time? JJ/mm/AA
I'm ding my first form biggish so there is a list of questions, I am trying to solve here, bear with me...
I'm in europe and we like the date format jj/mm/aa, but this is not a default option to choose so I have to put in custom, jj/mm/aa every time I want a date field. I have about 12 per form at the moment so is there any way for Acrobat to "remind", even within the document, regardless of the 'preferences' for the entire program. I can't find anything under the tongue or international options.
Thank you

After this setting, right-click the field and select "use current properties.

varchar2 to the date format conversion
I have converted the formats of date several times, but for some reason, I get an error invalid number when you try to convert a varchar2 column. I tried the to_char and to_date function and I get the same result. The column is a date and it is formatted like ME-DD-YYYY, but I want to change it to DD/MM/YYYY. My query is below:
Select to_date('fccpdate','MM/DD/YYYY')
of cc_class_scmast_v
When I try to_date I get this:
Error from the 1 in the command line:
Select TO_DATE ('fccpdate ',' MON-DD-YYYY "") of cc_class_scmast_v, where fccpdate IS NOT NULL
Error report:

I tried the to_char and to_date function and I get the same result. The column is a date and it is formatted like ME-DD-YYYY,If the column is a DATE, then it has the same format that all DATEs, which is nothing like 'DD-MON-YYYY '. Formats like which apply only to chains.
Conversely, if it is in the format "DD-MON-YYY", then it is a string, not a DATE.but I want to change to DD/MM/YYYY. My query is below:
Select to_date('fccpdate','MM/DD/YYYY')
of cc_class_scmast_vTo_date (x, "MM/DD/YYYY") tries to convert the string x in a DATE. Let's say it starts by taking the first 2 characters of x, for the month. The first 2 characters of 'fccpdate' are "fc", which is not a valid number (at least not in base 10), not to mention a number from 1 to 12, TO_DATE so will raise an error.
When I try to_date I get this:
Error from the 1 in the command line:
Select TO_DATE ('fccpdate ',' MON-DD-YYYY "") of cc_class_scmast_v, where fccpdate IS NOT NULL

It's a good first step. Literals are enclosed in single quotes are not identifiers (including the column names). "fccpdate" is the literal string of 8 characters containing 'f', ' c; Another 'c', 'p' 'd', 'a', 't' and 'e'. " fccpdate (without the single quotes) can be the name of a column.
If fccpdate is a string, as July 18, 2012', then you can convert it to a DATE using TO_DATE.
TO_DATE (fccpdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
If you want to display a DATE in a particular format, use
TO_CHAR ( d , f )
where d is a DATE, and f is the format string. In this case, d is perhaps the TO_DATE expression above
TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE (fccpdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY') , 'MM/DD/YYYY' )
I hope that answers your question.
If not, post a small example data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) for all of the tables involved and also publish outcomes from these data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.
Always tell what version of Oracle you are using.

Change the DATE FORMAT in a data store
I created a few projects with the help of a Teradata technology using tables that allow to CREATE_TARG_TABLE the Yes option.
Model / data store, there are DATE fields, but I can't change the DATE FORMAT, change the field.
When the process starts and creates the table in the database, create using FORMAT of DATE "AA-MM-DD" and I would like to create as "YYYY-MM-DD".
Y at - it a step that I am doing wrong, to be able to change the DATE FORMAT?
From already thank,Hello
--> Physical Architecture topology--> Teradata--> data types, create a new data type (or modify the existing DATE data type), then set it to the desired format of the syntax 'Create Table' and 'Format data type accessible writable.
That is to say DATE FORMAT "YYYY-MM-DD".
Then all your tables created will use this format. (I just tested it, it works).
Let us know if you have any problems.
See you soon

How canI change the date format of dd/mm/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy in filed?
I just got and try things my new Alcatel fire E with FirefoxOS (just updated) 2.0.0.0.
It is usual in most operating systems to be able to customize the date and time (among others). After a few hours of unsuccessful fiddling with the phone and checking the various forums, I came to the conclusion that it is currently not possible on my phone with this version of FirefoxOS. Or did I just miss something?
Achim
Hi achim_59,
I understand that you want to set the date format to display the jj/mm/aaaa on your Firefox OS device.
This feature has been implemented in Firefox OS v2.1. Unfortunately, this feature is not available in v2.0:
For other questions about the updates and implementation of your specific device features, please contact your device manufacturer, Alcatel.

For example, the Date of beginning of life cycle shows 31/05/2001 (March 5) and the end of Support Date extended watch 07/12/2001 (12 July or December 7).
The date format is month/date/year. This format is for the start date and end date for extended Support.
In your example, the start date is May 31, 2001, and the end date would be July 12, 2001.I hope this helps.

Function to convert the Date?

Options for PDF export - how to change the date format?
Hello
I use Adobe InDesign CC June 2015 on Windows 7.
When I export a PDF file to print, the date and the format is ' mm/dd/yyyy' (e.g. 2015/12/11 15:14:21) but I want to be ' dd/mm/yyyy' (for example 12/11/2015-15:14:21).
I know it's possible because my colleagues have this date format on their PDFs.
Do you know where I can change this option?
