GWT to get value from date field - gwt

I am using GWT ext and trying to get the values from page and setting it in pojo class.
Except date field all the values are obtained using
(TimeField) ComponentMgr.getComponent(id[2])).getText())....
But while using the same snippet for date field it fails to perform.
Can any one help me with this issue please......

This works fine for me:
dateField.getText();

If you want to convert a string to a date field, you'll have to parse it. Bear in mind that there are already out-of-the-box date pickers in GWT 1.6. If you're using a version that does not come with date pickers, there are several projects like this.

I have also used date field many times.
DateField field = new DateField();
field.getValue();
This will return value as Date instance.So If your pojo has date property then you need to parse it.
For the string value you should go for getText() method.

How to convert a field with 202008 to a date in Tableau

I am trying to convert a field that contains strings such as 202008, 202108 to a date field. I have tried the date() function, clicking on the measure and converting it to a date. I have also tried DATE(LEFT([Month],4)+"-"+RIGHT([Month],2)+"-01") but that will only return the year.
Using Tableau Desktop 2021.1, when I change the data type from String to Date, Tableau translates the strings to 8/1/2020 and 8/1/2021. If you are using an earlier version of Desktop, it is possible that this functionality is not present.
However, if changing the data type isn't working for you, the calculated field code you provided should actually work, you just need to change the date part from Year to Month/Day/Year using the Custom date part option.

How do you use setValue in the MS Access macro builder to insert today's date?

I'm modifying the "duplicate" button from the wizard in MS Access 2010 to modify a couple of fields when a record is duplicated. I'm trying to get it to change a date field to today's date. I've tried entering today() as the expression, but I get an error saying:
The object does not contain the automation object "today"
Can someone help a poor noob out and tell me how I can get todays date to populate in a specified field using the macro builder?
You can get the date by using the function Now() as the expression, without the equals sign.

Tableau cannot recognize timestamp field in my log file

I am using Tableau 9.3 to do a preliminary data analysis on one of my log file, the log file is like below:
"199.72.81.55",01/Jul/1995:00:00:01,/history/apollo/,200,6245,Sat
As you can see, there is a datetime for timestamp
In Tableau, initially it is recognized as a string like below:
That's fine, I want to make the field into datetime, and Tableau seems failed on it:
Why? How do I fix it?
Thank you very much.
UPDATED: after applying the formula suggested below, Tableau still cannot recognize the timestamp, here is the screenshot:
UPDATED AGAIN: after tested by nick, it is confirmed his first script is correct and working on his Tableau, why it fails on mine, I don't know, you are welcome to share any clue please, thank you.
Tableau implicit conversions are limited to more standard formats. You can still create a DATETIME field from your timestamp string using a calculated field with the following formula:
DATEPARSE('dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ss',[timestamp])
Using the above will transform a string like 01/Jul/1995:00:00:01 to a date and time of 7/1/1995 12:00:01 AM
Output using example data:
Sometimes the "date parse" function in Tableau doesn't quite do the job.
When this happens it is worth testing manual string manipulation with your timestamp field to put it into ISO-standard format and only then trying to convert it into a date. ISO format is yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss (eg 2012-02-28 13:04:30). It is common to find that the original string has spurious characters or spaces that throw dateparse. But these are usually easy to manipulate away with suitable text manipulations. This can sometimes be longwinded, but it always works.
It turned out to be the region setting issue, it works after I switch it to USA

IBM i (AS400/ISeries) - Adding days to date field in WRKQRY

I have a decimal date field (TDDATR) that is in the YYYYMMDD format.
I would like to create a field that is TDDATR + 30 days but I am unable to.
Using 'Define Results Field' I have tried a few things;
Simply doing this;
TDDATR + 30 DAYS
But it returned this error: Labeled duration not used correctly.
I tried using the DIGITS and SUBSTR commands to create a field in the DDMMYYYY format and then +30 days but got the same error.
Same as above but in the DD/MM/YYYY format - same error.
Using DATE(TDDATR) but all I see is +'s in the field.
Using DATE( ) on the fields created in step 2 and 3 - still get +'s
I've ran out of ideas - any help would be greatly appreciated.
Query/400 lacks a lot of the features that an SQL based interface has.
I'd urge you to consider switching to Query Manager (STRQM) which is a fully SQL based product. You can even convert Query/400 queries to Query Manager queries with the RTVQMQRY command by having the ALWQRYDFN parm set to *YES.
The other option that IBM is pushing is Web Query. Again, fully SQL based and you can convert Query/400 queries into it.
Having said that, the problem is that FLD + 30 DAYS only works when FLD is a DATE data type. Query/400 includes a DATE() function to convert non-date types into date. But it's very limited in that it only works with character fields formatted according to your job defaults. Assuming you're in the US, it'd only work with a character value of '07/01/15'.
You could do a lot of manipulation in Query/400 and end up with a result field that meets DATE()'s requirements. But a better solution would be to create an SQL view over your table and have your numeric date converted into a date data type in the view.
You can find code examples that show how to convert a numeric YYYYMMDD to a actual date data type in the view. However, I'd recommend create a user defined function (UDF) that will do the conversion for you. That will make it much easier to use in the view and to reuse in other places.
If you'd like, there's an open source package called iDate, that includes all the code required for convert to/from date data types.
Download that, install/compile it and your SQL view becomes
select ... idate(TDDATR,'*CCYMD') as TD_DATE
from myfile
The use of days is as follow
Field Expression
CURDATE_30 days(current(date)) + 30
The solution to your problem is: given the field A dec(8,0)
Field Expression
YYYYMMDD_ date(substr(digits(a),5,2)||'/'||
substr(digits(a),7,2)||'/'||
substr(digits(a),3,2))
NEXT_MONTH DAYS(YYYYMMDD_) + 30
Remember to check the date format in your job description. In the example the format is MDY or MM/DD/YY.
More info here
Based on the information here, I created the below 2 fields;
TDDIGI DIGITS(TDDATR)
TDDAT1 SUBSTR(TDDIGI,7,2)||'/'||
SUBSTR(TDDIGI,5,2)||'/'||
SUBSTR(TDDIGI,3,2)
From here I was able to create a date field;
TDDAT2 DATE(TDDAT1)
Which allowed me to perform the necessary calculations.
The format of TDDAT1 is based on your job description which can be found by;
WRKJOB
Option 2
Page down
Date format..: X
Mine was *DMY, so TDDAT1 was formatted based on this.

Spring Property Editor for Date divided in three different fields

I'm trying to set up a form in which user's supposed to enter his/her birthday using three different input fields (day, month, year).
What's Spring MVC's way of:
a) prefilling those inputs when showing the form coming from a Date object.
b) getting it from the user, validating and putting into a Date object?
EDIT:
Here's an example link to how we'd like it look: yahoo registration
In spring mvc, for the default, it can't automatically convert the object as this date to a Date type object, so you just get the string in controller, so before get/post the request to server, you should combine these year, month, day together. In controller, you convert the string to Date with java. and it's the same that the controller should return a string, then in the page, you can use js to split it. But I recommend you choose a datepicker plugin, it will be better and save a lot of work.
Hey #user1241320 you can do format his/her birthday from view tier with calendar of any one javascript framework, for example, JQuery.
I hopes these helps :)
