Changing Date format from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY

[Former Member]

Hello all,

We have upgraded our portal system from EP 6.0 to EP 7.0 . Before upgrade the portal date format was in DD/MM/YYYY format but after upgrade it has changed to MM/DD/YYYY.

We changed the request.mandatoryCountry and Request.mandatoryLanguage parameters as GB and EN respectively .

After this change the standard portal iview start showing date in DD/MM/YYYY format but custom web dynpro applications are still displaying date in MM/DD/YYYY format.

Please suggest how can we change the date format for custom dynpro applications too.

Regards,

Ganesh

It all depends on date settings in SU01 ,language settings for that user in user administration,language setting in JCO,language settings in browser.

check this note 947081

You might find [this|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f4/d95664da179b4db731e21c2e470b72/frameset.htm] link helpful in understanding how the locale is determined for a user who logs into the portal.

Similar discussions are on the following threads

A snippet from the above thread,

1) Language indicator of the user  (Example: Language not set in portal)
2) Language preference of the browser (Example: fr - Resource doesn't exists)
3) Language indicator of the Web Dynpro Application
4) Language preference of the system
5) Language preference of the JVM

Hope it helps.

Good Luck!!!
