Date field separators locale

[former_member190457]

Hi everybody,

I am working with date fields on both WDJ and R/3. Abap date field separators are ".".

In my locale, WDJ iview date field separators are "/". We want WDJ iview separators to become ".".

I found out this [workshop|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/58a7e390-0201-0010-abb1-8eec7eb7a2ec], at page 83, it is explained that WDJ locale can be set through a url parameter.

Where should this parameter be set? In the iview configuration, we tried in the "application parameters" the value sap-locale=de, and also the Forced Display Language=German. But no result so far.

Can anyone help?

Thanks and regards,

Vincenzo

Hi, thanks the two following solutions are available:

- in iview application parameters: sap-locale%3Dde (do NOT use the "=" character).

- in your component you can define a method such as

private void internalFormatDate(Date ui_el) {
		SimpleDateFormat formatter =
			(SimpleDateFormat) DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(
				DateFormat.LONG,
				DateFormat.LONG,
			                Locale.GERMAN);
		formatter.format(ui_el);
	}

Thanks, regards,

Vincenzo

Hi,

Did you try assigning the value as de_DE or de-DE as mentioned in the SAP help.

Also you can try accessing the WD application with the Parameter in Standalone way instead of WDJ iview and see if it works.

If it works in Standalone mode then there will be some different way to pass this Paramenter in Portal mode.

Hi,

de_DE, de-DE, de no use...

however in standalone mode the simple sap-locale=de works.

Indeed it must be supposed to work differently...

Can anyone please help?

Hi, that's exaclty what I did.

In my iview's application parameters I've specified: sap-locale=de

with no results.

Any idea?

Thanks, regards
