Ymm_Sc_Bapieindt delvDateRange = new Ymm_Sc_Bapieindt();

wdContext.nodeDaterange().bind(delvDateRange);

SimpleDateFormat sdfDate = new SimpleDateFormat("DD/MM/YYYY");

String datestr = sdfDate.format(new java.util.Date());

delvDateRange.setFrom_Date(datestr);

delvDateRange.setTo_Date(datestr);

input.addDaterange(delvDateRange);

i am getting Error here.

delvDateRange.setFrom_Date(datestr);

delvDateRange.setTo_Date(datestr);

That error is This method setFrom_Date/setTo_Date(Date) in the type Ymm_Sc_Bapieindt is not applicable for the arguments (String)

I m getting this error

Hi Vijay,

You can just parse the date into which ever format you like.

Date startDate = null;
String strStartDate = null;

strStartDate = wdContext.currentNode_Element().getValueAttriute();

DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
try {
	startDate = df.parse(strStartDate);
}	       
catch (ParseException e) {
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Error in Formatting the Date",false);
}

Hope this helps you.

Hi Vijay,

Please try this :-

SimpleDateFormat sdfDate = new SimpleDateFormat("DD/MM/YYYY");

String datestr = sdfDate.format(<Format the date as per sdfDate format - DD/MM/YYYY like wdContext.currentContextElement().get<ATTRIBUTE Name>() WHICH you want to format>);

Date n_date = new Date(datestr);

delvDateRange.setFrom_Date(n_date); ->> if From_Date only accept Data parameter.

Refer to http://techtracer.com/2007/03/28/convert-date-to-string-and-string-to-date-in-java/

Hope it helps

Hi Vijay

This is the basic concept in Java coding which do not require any special wd concepts or anything. Only requirement is -- First you must know exactly what you need to achieve & what it will take to achieve.

Here is the example -

public class StringToDate 
{ 
public static void main(String[] args) 
{ 
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); 

try
{ 
Date today = df.parse("08/04/2010");             
System.out.println("Today = " + df.format(today)); 
} catch (ParseException e) 
{ 
e.printStackTrace(); 
} 
} 
}

And here is the result of our code:

Today = 08/04/2010

Let me explain you as I guess you might not know what this code is actually doing.

The example starts by creating an instance of SimpleDateFormat with "dd/MM/yyyy" format which mean that the date string is formatted in day-month-year sequence.

Finally using the parse(String source) method we can get the Date instance. Because parse method can throw java.text.ParseException exception if the supplied date is not in a valid format; we need to catch it.

Following are the imports you need to make

import java.text.DateFormat; 
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; 
import java.text.ParseException; 
import java.util.Date; 

I really hope this will let you understand few more concepts.

Hi Vijay ,

1) Instead of Java Coding , Change the User Language Parameters in User administration to English UK , Date will be displayed in dd.mm.yyyy format.

2)Use can Also change the language settings for a system , Goto Control Panel->Regional and Language Options , here Select English (United Kingdom )From Drop down , but this will work only for that desktop.

Hi KalluriVijay

You are setting string value to delvDateRange. it will take the Date parameter.

Please check the below documents :

Hope it helps

Hi,

I understand, you are trying pass parameter String (SimpleDateFormat will return String) instead of type Date.

Try to pass the date value to the parameters and check it again.
