Date field format

Hi all

Is it possible to format the date field to show only mm/dd? How?

Thank you!

Hello

Yes, you can. The easiest way would be to select the date/time field and go to object > field palette. Then click on models, and set model display: date {MM/DD}

Change the mask of the executing (Oracle forms 6i) date field format

Hello

I use Oracle forms 6i. I have a domain where I use to store dates. I need to change the format mask of this date the runtime field.
Y at - it no set_item_property built in that I can use to achieve this?

Kind regards

Part 2, help information on the Format mask item property; you will need to make sure that you set the property correctly.

Sorry, I had to drill two answers but my first attempt surpassed the eligible characters in an answer ;-)

Format Mask property
Description

Specifies the display format and input accepted for data in text items.

Usage Notes

Valid format masks for character strings, numbers and dates are described in the following tables.
Character Strings
The following table describes valid format masks for character strings. 

Element     Example     Description
FM     FMXX99     Fill mode:  accept string as typed, do not right justify.  Allows end user input string to be shorter than the format mask.
X     XXXX     Any alphabetic, numeric, or special character.  End user input string must be exact length specified by format mask.
9     9999     Numeric characters only.  End user input string must be exact length specified by format mask.
A     AAAA     Alphabetic characters only.  End user input string must be exact length specified by format mask.
Character String Examples

Format Mask     Description
XXAA     Will accept: --ab, abcd, 11ab; will not accept: --11, ab11, or ab--(must use XX to accept hyphens and other special characters).
XXXX     Will accept any combination of alphabetic, numeric, or special characters: --ab, abcd, 11ab, --11, ab11, or ab--.  Will accept 1234 or abcd; will not accept 123 or abc.  (To accept input string shorter than mask, use FMXXXX.)
FMXX99     Will accept ab12, ab1, ab followed by two spaces; will not accept 12ab or abcd.  (To produce the Form Builder Version 3.0 Alpha datatype, use FMAAAAAA.)
n     To embed additional characters such as a hyphen (-) or a comma (,), surround the character with double-quotes (").
n     Embedded characters are separate from text item values and are not collated along with text item values, even when the end user enters them. 

NUMBERS

The following table describes valid format masks for numbers.

Element     Example     Description
9     9999     Number of nines determines display width.  Any leading zeros will be displayed as blanks.
0     0999     Display leading zeros.
0     9990     Display zero value as zero, not blank.
$     $9999     Prefix value with dollar sign.
B     B9999     Display zero value as blank, not "0".
MI     9999MI     Display "-" after a negative value.
PR     9999PR     Display a negative value in .
comma     9,999     Display a comma in this position.  For correct behavior in multilingual applications, substitute G to return the appropriate group (thousands) separator.
period     99.99     Display a decimal point in this position. For correct behavior in multilingual applications, substitute D to return the appropriate decimal separator.
E     9.999EEEE     Display in scientific notation (format must contain exactly four "E"s).
FM      FM999     Fill mode: accept string as typed, do not right justify.
n     When you mask a number with nines (9), Form Builder adds a space in front of the number to accommodate the plus (+) or minus (-) sign.  However, since the plus sign is not displayed, it appears as if Form Builder adds a space in front of the number.  (The minus sign is displayed.)
n     To embed additional characters such as a hyphen (-) or a comma (,), surround the character with double-quotes (").
n     Embedded characters are separate from text item values and are not collated along with text item values, even when the end user enters them. 

NUMBER Examples

Format Mask     Description
FM099"-"99"-"9999     Displays the social security number as formatted, including hyphens, even if end user enters only nine digits.To create a Social Security column, create an 11-character column, set to fixed length, with a format mask of 099"-"99"-"9999.  This mask will accommodate Social Security numbers that begin with zero, accepting 012-34-5678 or 012345678 (both stored as 012345678).
99999PR     Accepts -123; reformats as <123>.
999MI     Accepts -678; reformats as 678-.
9.999EEEE     Displays as 1.00E+20.
How Forms handles length mismatches

If a runtime user enters a numeric string that exceeds the format mask specification, the value will be rejected.  For example:

Format Mask     User enters     Result
99.9     321.0     Invalid
99.9     21.01     Invalid
99.9     21.1     21.1
99.9     01.1     1.1
In contrast, if a numeric value fetched from the database exceeds the format mask specification for its display field, the value is displayed, but truncated, with rounding, to fit the mask.  (The item itself within the Forms application retains its full value.)  For example, if the database held the value 2.0666, and the format mask was 99.9, the value displayed to the user would be 2.1.  However, the value of the item within the form would be the full 2.0666. 

Dates

The following table describes valid format masks for dates.

Element     Description
YYYY or SYYYY     4-digit year; "S" prefixes "BC" date with "-".
YYY or YY or Y     Last 3, 2, or 1 digits of year.
Y,YYY     Year with comma in this position.
BC or AD     BC/AD indicator.
B.C. or A.D.     BD/AD indicator with periods.
RR     Defaults to correct century.  Deduces the century from a date entered by comparing the 2 digit year entered with the year and century to which the computer's internal clock is set.   Years 00-49 will be given the 21st century (the year 2000), and years from 50-99 will be given the 20th century (the year 1900).
MM     Month (01-12; JAN = 01).
MONTH     Name of month, padded with blanks to length of 9 characters.
MON     Name of month, 3-letter abbreviation.
DDD     Day of year (1-366).
DD     Day of month (1-31).
D     Day of week (1-7; Sunday=1).
DAY     Name of day, padded with blanks to length of 9 characters.
DY     Name of day, 3-letter abbreviation.
J     Julian day; the number of days since January 1, 4712 BC.
AM or PM     Meridian indicator.
A.M. or P.M.     Meridian indicator with periods.
HH or HH12     Hour of day (1-12).
HH24     Hour of day (0-23).
MI     Minute (0-59).
SS     Second (0-59).
SSSSS     Seconds past midnight (0-86399).
/. , .     Punctuation is reproduced in the result.
"..."     Quoted string is reproduced in the result.
FM     Fill mode: assumes implied characters such as O or space; displays significant characters left justified.  Allows end user input to be shorter than the format mask.  (Use in conjunction with FX to require specific delimiters.)
FX     All date literals must match the format mask exactly, including delimiters.
n     When you prefix a date mask with FX, the end user must enter the date exactly as you define the mask, including the specified delimiters:  

Date Examples

Format Mask     Description
FXDD-MON-YY     Will accept 12-JAN-94, but will not accept 12.JAN.94 or 12/JAN/94 because the delimiters do not match the mask. Will not accept 12JAN94 because there are no delimiters.  Will accept 01-JAN-94 but will not accept 1-JAN-94.
FMDD-MON-YY     Will accept 01-JAN-94.  Will also accept the entry of other delimiters, for example 01/JAN/94 and 01 JAN 94.  However, will not accept 01JAN94.  Will accept 1-JAN-94, converting it to 01-JAN-94.
DD-MON-YY     Will accept 12.JAN.94, 12/JAN/94 or 12-JAN-94. Note: Any delimiter characters will be accepted, but if delimiters are omitted by the end user, this mask will interpret date characters as a delimiters.  Will accept 12-JAN94, (but will erroneously interpret as 12-JAN-04); but will not accept 12JAN94, because "AN" is not a valid month name.
n     Use of a format mask only affects how the data looks.  Form Builder stores full precision, regardless of how the data is presented.
n     Embedded characters are separate from text item values and are not collated along with text item values, even when the end user enters them.
n     To embed additional characters such as a hyphen (-) or a comma (,), surround the character with double-quotes (").  Note, however, that double-quotes themselves cannot be used as a character.  In other words, trying to achieve output of DD"MM by specifying a mask of DD"""MM would not work.

Format Mask     Description
FMMONTH" "DD", "YYYY     Displays the text item data in the specified date format: JANUARY 12, 1994, including the appropriate blank spaces and comma.
FMDD-MONTH-YYYY     Displays as 12-JANUARY-1994.
DY-DDD-YYYY     Displays as WED-012-1994.  Note: for input validation including day of the week, a mask that allows specific determination of the day is required, such as this example or DY-DD-MM-YY.
n     When you use day of the week formats, be sure that the data  includes day of the week information.  To avoid illogical masks, display also either the day of the year (1-366) or the month in some format. 

Format Mask     Description
DD-MONTH-YYYY     Displays as 12-JANUARY-1994.
DY-DDD-YYYY     Displays as WED-012-1994.
DY-DD-MON-YY     Displays as WED-12-JAN-94.  Be sure to include month.  Avoid masks such as DY-DD-YY, which could generate an error.
NLS Format Masks

The following table describes valid National Language Support (NLS) format masks.

Element     Example     Description
C     C999     Returns the international currency  symbol.
L     L9999     Returns the local currency  symbol.
D     99D99     Returns the decimal separator.
G     9G999     Returns the group (thousands) separator.
comma     9,999     Displays a comma in this position.
period     9.999     Displays a decimal point in this position. Displays a decimal point in this position.
NLS Format Mask Examples

Format Mask     Description
L99G999D99     Displays the local currency symbol, group, and decimal separators:  if NLS_LANG=American, this item displays as $1,600.00; if NLS_LANG=Norwegian, this item displays as Kr.1.600,00.
C99G999D99     Displays the appropriate international currency symbol: if NLS_LANG=American, this item displays as USD1,600.00; if NLS_LANG=French, this item displays as FRF1.600,00.

Date field format is not supported in tcUserOperationsIntf createUser()
Hello

I want to create the user using the IOM tcUserOperationsIntf.createUser APIs.
I spend the first name, surname, sex, end date and the date fields UDF as join Date and Date of birth.
I wrote an adapter that accepts form of process data and fills an attribute table which is then passed to the createUser().
If I spend the date fields as Date data type, IOM gives error saying:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: timestamp format must be yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.fffffffff; nested exception is: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: timestamp format must be yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.fffffffff

So, I convert the date value in the string format as mentioned above using Java SimpleDateFormat.
But now, the createuser fails with an exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: illegal 'f' pattern character
com.thortech.xl.dataobj.util.tcAdapterTaskException: illegal 'f' pattern character

I checked the developer of IOM's guide and the API user guide.
Each location provides a sample code for createUser without taking into account any date field.

Could you please guide me on how to spend the date fields in the attribute createUser() IOM plan?
Thanks in advance!
Hello

Must be a string value in the hash table for the createUser() API. The default required format is yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.fffffffff (as determined in the XL. DefaultDateFormat System Configuration property in the console of design).

You can format your date in a String variable to "yyyy-mm-dd hh:ss" and concatenate '.» 000000000 "to that you will not need such huge precision for sure.

In any case if you change XL. DefaultDateFormat property I think the API takes its value for the conversion.

Kind regards

Date field format like: name/Date/month day

Is there a way to validate a field 'date' to display a date in the form: Tuesday, July 5, 2016 instead of 05/07/2016? Even if abbreviated day (kills instead of Tuesday) name is "very well. I can't find out how to get in shape in this way. In addition, most date formats also have a value of time associated with them. I don't want / need time in this area.

Just to try to make it clear!

1. Add a Date/time field

2. click on "templates...". '--> 'View' (in the 'Field' tab in the 'object palette")

3. Enter the date {EEEE, MMMM D, YYYY} in the entrance area of 'model '.

In my view, there is a preset that is almost identical to that of the predefined display templates aswell.

Date field and amount of table format
Hi all
I'm working on jdev 11.1.2.1.0
When the page loads I'm populating a table based on a query of the VO.
In this table, I have a few fields (columns) of the date and the amount.
I want to format these columns, how can I do?

Appreciate your help.

Thank you and best regards,
Madhav K.
For the Date field, you can try this:

<>
dateStyle = 'average' pattern = "dd-MMM-yyyy" / >

And for many, it should work.

I just tried, both work for me.

Custom - Date field that is this feature called?

I need to create a custom date field. It is personalized because it shows, on the one hand, whatever it is related to the dates and then it indicates that one choice at a time.

Kinda like this feature

I want to create something like that, but not the dates. I want to add alist like apples, mangoes, peaches, and plums have a scrolling after another, without showing a huge drop; So basically in the above format. Help, or coding sample please.

I think you can do this with a SpinBoxField, if you extend it to support of Bitmaps rather than the text that is, it supports at the moment.

How to find a custom date field?

I'm trying to recover contacts based on the value in a custom date field, and I can't get the search function to work. It works fine for me with other custom fields, for example this query:
/ data / contacts? Search = C_Job_Role1 = * HR & depth minimum = & count = 5
Returns all contacts whose ends the Job role in HR properly. However, if I try the same thing with a date field, for example this query:
contacts / data /? Search = C_Contract_Expiration_Date1 = * 1 * & depth minimum = & count = 5
I get a response with the http 500 code - it's an internal server error, so presumably that choke the server when asked to perform a search on a date field.
Is there a way to do this?

Hi Eli,

I ran a few tests and it seems that endpoint to search as standard format (MM/DD/YYYY) date type, not deal with time at the time of unix. The following query (example) will work: C_Contract_Expiration_Date1 = 01/04/2012

I'm sorry for the initial response. There are some points of endpoints that use the time unix for types date, and we will be more cautious about calling the difference in each context.

Thank you

Try to set the time to a date field

Hello

Using jdeveloper 11.1.1.6.0.

I have a date field in my table. I got the time string and convert it to a date field.

String dis1 = theToken; for example: 11:15:26

	DateFormat = formatter1
	new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss");

Date2 date = formatter1.parse (dis1);

rw.setAttribute ("TtAlertRecTime", formatter1.format (date2));

While my running page and press that values have not been set for the field.

In the page of the user interface

< af:inputDate value = "#{row.bindings.TtAlertRecTime.inputValue} '"

label = "#{bindings." TrackTicketsView1.hints.TtAlertRecTime.label}.

required = "#{bindings." TrackTicketsView1.hints.TtAlertRecTime.mandatory}.

shortDesc = "#{bindings." TrackTicketsView1.hints.TtAlertRecTime.tooltip}.

ID = "id21" >

< f: validator binding="#{row.bindings.TtAlertRecTime.validator}"/ >

< af:convertDateTime pattern = 'hh '.

type = 'time' / >

< / af:inputDate >

My Question is

Help with a script for the date field

Is this possible when the display of a date field is not also: date {EEEE, MMMM D, YYYY}
then

Thank you

I thought the event output, if you change the this.rawValue to xfa.event.change, you can try to use the calculate... event, which would mean that they get the message earlier.

Anyway they will always be able to cut-and - paste a date if it is in the correct format.

Plugin SOAP date fields

Hello

I have a SOAP service that fields of included optional type XS: DateTime. They are generated in a new workflow created from the SOAP operation, but the plugin does not leave as "undefined". "the argument date must be a date and a non null.

The problem is that the service uses the same input type for all CRUD operations, but I can't call the operation to update with for example the createdDate value. It seems that as a work around I can remove the field from the workflow entries, but does perform a work around to fix an empty value?

We recently had a similar problem recently reported

The fix will be available at the next plugin relese 1.0.4

As workaround generated workflows can be modified to not set date field if there is no value provided.

1. for each field type DateType locate lines that resemble the following:

request.setInParameter("model.instance.ClosedTime", System.formatDate(model_D_instance_D_ParameterXXXName, "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"));
  request.addInParameterAttribute("model.instance.ClosedTime", "mandatory", model_D_instance_D_ParameterXXXName_OP_mandatory_CP_);
  request.addInParameterAttribute("model.instance.ClosedTime", "readonly", model_D_instance_D_ParameterXXXName_OP_readonly_CP_);
  request.addInParameterAttribute("model.instance.ClosedTime", "type", model_D_instance_D_ParameterXXXName_OP_type_CP_);

First line is the value of the actual parameter that the 3 following lines are associated with the same parameter attributes.

1.1 change these lines will be performed only if the value is not provided. After modification, the result should look like:

if (model_D_instance_D_ParameterXXXName!=null)
    request.setInParameter("model.instance.ClosedTime", System.formatDate(model_D_instance_D_ParameterXXXName, "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"));
    request.addInParameterAttribute("model.instance.ClosedTime", "mandatory", model_D_instance_D_ParameterXXXName_OP_mandatory_CP_);
    request.addInParameterAttribute("model.instance.ClosedTime", "readonly", model_D_instance_D_ParameterXXXName_OP_readonly_CP_);
    request.addInParameterAttribute("model.instance.ClosedTime", "type", model_D_instance_D_ParameterXXXName_OP_type_CP_);
  }

In addition some SOAP services require a date to be in ISO8601 format

You can overcome this problem with the following changes:

2.2 format date ISO8601

Add the following lines at the beginning of the generated script.

function convertToIso8601 (dateRfc822) {
   return dateRfc822.substr(0, dateRfc822.length-2 ) + ":" + dateRfc822.substr(dateRfc822.length-2);
  }

Change of:

request.setInParameter("model.instance.ClosedTime", System.formatDate(model_D_instance_D_ParameterXXXName, "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"));

TO:

request.setInParameter("model.instance.ClosedTime", convertToIso8601(System.formatDate(model_D_instance_D_ParameterXXXName, "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ")));

This is necessary in case there are attributes with fixed values

in this case W/F entries can be removed and the generated code can be changed to directly provide the fixed value.

In this case, the attribute is 'type' and its fixed value is "'DateType ':

2.3 the value for the attribute 'type' set.

    request.addInParameterAttribute("model.instance.ClosedTime", "type", model_D_instance_D_ParameterXXXName_OP_type_CP_);

  request.addInParameterAttribute("model.instance.ClosedTime", "type", "DateType");

How to replace a "null" in the date field to zero
Hi guys,.

I'm a lil stuck with this problem.
I have a requirement where I need to replace a null value in the date field to zero.
For example,.

Cancel_date Cancel_date
20120301 20120301
20120908 20120908
value null-> > > > > 0

Thank you
Anita
Hi, Anita,.

0 is not a DATE, so you cannot view it in a DATE column.
There is no '0' display problem in a VARCHAR2 column, so use TO_CHAR to display dates, even if the default format, it's exactly what you want.
```
SELECT     NVL ( TO_CHAR (date_column, 'YYYYMMDD')
         , '0'             -- or '       0', if you want it right-justified
         )          AS date_string
FROM     table_x
;
```
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 say what version of Oracle you are using (for example, 11.2.0.2.0).

changing dynamic date/time format

How can I set a Date/time format) of a textbox (behave like a phone number format, where the user enters only numbers, but it shows another way of my choice.)
Download the new Date object
var a = event.target.value;
Kai var = util.scand ("YYYYMMDD", a);

dd/mm/yyyy format
xDate var = util.printd ("yyyy/mm/dd", anyway);
Event.Target.Value = xDate;
It does not work.

Text type fields have scripts that control the key sequence, validation and formatting. You only play with the formatting.

You could create a script to strike to allow the entry of the date with or without the "/" but you then have to write a script of presentation and validation. Posting date is not just month 1-12 and day 1-31, because some months have 28, 29, 30 or 31 days depending on the month and year combinations.

Date field you can put also n/d in

Hi chaps,
I have a bit of a dilemma. I have a bunch of text boxes that are used as date fields, IE. defined as the format "dd-mm-yyyy". However, they must ALSO allow "N/a" to type / or pre-filled in them but nothing else.
I guess that the date format must be defined as javascript rather than in properties, but everyone is able to point me in the direction of the code that I need to use?
Thank you.

Of course, simply remove the function of date_keystroke1 you have and add both at the level of the JavaScript document:

function date_keystroke1() {}

If (event.willCommit & event.value.toUpperCase () = "N/a") {}

Do nothing

} else {}

AFDate_KeystrokeEx2("dd-mm-yyyy");

}

}

function AFDate_KeystrokeEx2 (cFormat) {}

If (event.willCommit &!) AFParseDateEx (AFMergeChange (event), cFormat)) {}

If (event.willCommit &! event.silenceErrors) {}

App.Alert ("the field can contain only to be a date in the format dd-mm-yyyy, GOLD-'------N/A '.", 1);

} else {}

App.Beep (0);

}

Event.RC = false;

}

}

The last function is simply a customized version of the integrated a (AFDate_KeystrokeEx), but renamed, so it is not in conflict.

How can I subtract a number (of days) to a DATE field?

I have a date field that can be entered manually)
format (dd/mm/yyyy)
I would like to be able to take that date and subtract a number from it (say 280 days)
and do come with the date it would be 280 days in the past in another area
Date1 < here
subtract 280 days (as close as possible result of months/days per month etc...)
Nouvelle_date <-here
Is this possible at all?
TIA

Oh my god

Thank you very much

I'll give it a whirl...
