I have created a table using SAPUI5 and I get the data to the table using ODATA service. BUt, I have a column which is of a type DATE and the format is something like this "Thu Jan 13 2011 01:00:00 GMT+0100 (Mitteleuropäische Zeit)".
I tried to google and I found this blog which is really nice.
But here I see also a jsbin example where only a single data value has been used. But I need to select one whole column "Businessdate" and format it to something like this ´13.01.2014´. Any suggestions?
The data in my source table is of type DATE.
Thanks
I have updated your jsbin example: http://jsbin.com/cika/4/edit
The changes I've made:
I have mimicked your ODate date's ISO8601 format by just setting it to the current date:
oModel.setData({
dateValue: new Date() // I.e. Mon Feb 24 2014 17:35:22 GMT+0100 (W. Europe Standard Time)
});
Just let the DatePicker control format it to your desired output format ('dd-MM-yyyy'):
new sap.ui.commons.DatePicker("date2",{
width: "10em",
value: {
path: "myModel>/dateValue",
//the format information
type: new sap.ui.model.type.Date({pattern: "dd.MM.yy"})
}
});
Hope this helps!

I want transform the string
Thu, 21 Jan 2021 09:48:38 +0100
in timestamp format "%yyyy-%mm-%dd %hh.%nn.%ss.6"
how to do?
Thank you
Check out the StringToTimestamp function and the other type conversion functions in DataStage.
You could also work with string manipulation first.
Note that you have not provided the information about the fraction of the second yet.
I am trying to retrieve current date time in RFC1123 date format in XSLT.
has anybody tried this using XSL2.0?
I have seen code for converting various date times based on zone in XSLT2.0 and to format in specific date time format such yyyy/mm/dd or YYYY:MM:DDTHH:MM:SS.0Z, but couldnt find a way to format it to show like this
Tue, 09 Jul 2019 20:34:29 GMT
concat(date:add('1970-01-01T00:00:00',concat('PT',floor(dp:time-value() div 1000),'S')),':',dp:time-value() mod 1000)
This returns in GMT format like this 2019-07-09T21:01:26:547
How to format it for - Tue, 09 Jul 2019 20:34:29 GMT using XSLT2.0?
Use current-dateTime() to get the current date and time and then use format-dateTime to format it as needed, see the spec https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#function-format-dateTime on details: a picture string
'[FNn,*-3], [D01] [MNn] [H01]:[m01]:[s01] [z]'
on my machine in German summer time gives
format-dateTime(current-dateTime(), '[FNn,*-3], [D01] [MNn] [H01]:[m01]:[s01] [z]')
as
Wed, 10 July 12:01:13 GMT+02:00
This is meant as an example on the use of format-dateTime, I haven't checked the exact details of the RFC you cited to try to implement the exact requirements.
Thanks for quick reply, your solution worked using Altova XML Spy, but unfortunately it didnt worked for me in Datapower using XSLT2.0, Not sure what was wrong, may be some issue with DP firmware version.
just for other users to make this post more helpful. I tried below 2 options which didnt work for me, but might be useful for others.
using XSLT
<xsl:value-of select="java:java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.RFC_1123_DATE_TIME.format(ZonedDateTime.now(ZoneOffset.UTC))"></xsl:value-of>
<xsl:value-of select="format-dateTime(current-dateTime(), '[FNn,*-3], [D01] [MNn] [H01]:[m01]:[s01] [z]')"/>
So I used Gateway script to get same date format which I was looking for and stored in context variable using below
var dateNeeded = new Date()).toUTCString(); //Thu, 11 Jul 2019 21:08:12 GMT
I am using momentjs in alloy framework in Appcelerator. My api returns the date as - 2017-09-06T12:03:00.000Z I am using below code to format this date into readable form -
var dt = moment(record.createddate);
$.dateValue.text = moment(dt).format('lll');
But the output I get is - Sep 6, 2017 5:33 PM, which is not correct as the date saved in db and returned from api is EST and the date getting displayed is GMT+0530. How should i format this date so that I get the correct date value?
I guess, somewhere in your code, the moment's default timezone is set to GMT+0530. Something like moment.tz.setDefault('Asia/Colombo') could do this.
You can define in what timezone you want to display your date. This should work for you :
moment('2017-09-06T12:03:00.000Z').tz("Etc/GMT").format('lll')
Or if you want the value I suggested in the comments :
moment('2017-09-06T12:03:00.000Z').tz("Etc/GMT-2").format('lll')
For more informations about moment.js timezones, you can check the moment.js timezone docs.
Hope this helps !
I'm having some problems converting a string to a date object in google apps script.
My dates are in the following format, from a 3rd party API:
2013-01-17T17:34:50.507
I am attempting to convert this to a Date object:
return Date(stringDate);
And this is being returned:
Thu Jan 01 01:00:00 GMT+01:00 1970
Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong, and how to resolve this issue ?
With moment.js, it is as easy as this to parse any of ISO 8601 format.
var date = Moment.moment("2013-01-17T17:34:50.507").toDate();
You can use moment.js to parse your arbitrary date string as well.
To use moment.js in GAS, you just need to add it in the script editor.
Open your script in GAS script editor and go to "Resources" then "Libraries...", then put this project key MHMchiX6c1bwSqGM1PZiW_PxhMjh3Sh48 and click "Add". Choose the version from the dropdown, then click "Save". Now, you are ready to use moment.js in GAS.
moment.js can be used to parse date string, create formatted date string, and many other date manipulation. Thanks to the author!
You can find the moment.js documentation here.
It doesn't appear that the Date object knows how to handle that date. The date is in ISO 8601 format. Javascript can handle Dates if they are given timezone information.
You will have to do some testing, but if those dates given to you are in UTC time, then just add a Z to the end of the date string before you call new Date().
Edit: The Apps Script Date object can't seem to handle a timezone other than UTC when parsing a Date. I opened an issue for it.
It doesn't work in GScript, at least for me at the time I'm writing it.
This post serves a working alternative: How do I format this date string so that google scripts recognizes it?
As of now new Date() seems to work:
var dT = new Date("2013-01-17T17:34:50.507");
console.info("dT: %s or %d", dT, dT.getTime());
returns dT: Thu Jan 17 17:34:50 GMT+01:00 2013 or 1.358440490507E12 in Google Apps Script
How can I shift timezone of Date object created in local timezone to target timezone?
Here is what I need. I want web-client to pick a date using DatePicker but resulting Date object should look like as if it was picked in another timezone. Since there is no way to tell DatePicker to do that I have to manually shift date.
For example it's Apr 6th 2012 2:42AM in California right now. Created Date will be in UTC-7 timezone. I want to have Date object with Apr 6th 2012 2:42AM in Europe/Moscow timezone.
Here is I do it right now:
final TimeZoneConstants constTz = GWT.create(TimeZoneConstants.class);
final TimeZone timeZoneMsk = TimeZone.createTimeZone(constTz.europeMoscow());
final TimeZone timeZoneCali = TimeZone.createTimeZone(constTz.americaLosAngeles());
Date curTime = new Date();
DateTimeFormat dateTimeFormat = DateTimeFormat.getFullDateTimeFormat();
Date mskTime = new Date(curTime.getTime() - (curTime.getTimezoneOffset() - timeZoneMsk.getStandardOffset()) * 60 * 1000);
String strLocal = dateTimeFormat.format(curTime, timeZoneCali); // Friday, 2012 April 06 02:42:59 Pacific Daylight Time
String strMsk = dateTimeFormat.format(mskTime, timeZoneMsk); // Friday, 2012 April 06 02:42:59 Moscow Standard Time
There are two problems with this method:
If you ask me it looks pretty bizarre.
Timezone in mskTime is still -0007. I wonder if it can cause any problems in future when I deserialize this object from Google App Engine datastore.
Or should I just produce string with full date of local Californian time, replace timezone in string and then generate new Date by calling DateTimeFormat.parse() ? It looks pretty hacky too...
Also what do you think of JodaTime for GWT ? Is it stable enough for production ?
Your code looks about right. Using DateTimeFormat.parse might make the intention clearer to a casual reader. It's not very often that you are given timezones A and B and one Date object, and you have to produce a new Date object that, when formatted in B, has the same time as the original when formatted in A.
Timezone in mskTime is still -0007. I wonder if it can cause any problems in future when I deserialize this object from Google App Engine datastore.
No, there can be no problems. Remember that a Date object represents a universal point in time not bound to a timezone. When it's April 6 14:40 in Moscow, it's April 6 03:40 in California, so the Date objects are equal.
