Hi

1)Create a simpletype of type date and there go to the representation tab and u can give

the format=dd/MM/yyyy

2)Then create a context attr of type as simple type and attch this to the value property of the inputfield

Hi Hazrath,

I found only one way; Thats just change the default language to English UK . I have tried all the way that you put forward and they were not in use.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi Vinod,

congratulations on finding a solution to your problem...did you change the default language in SU01? like I answered you.

If not can you share with us how you managed to do this.

Hi Liam,

Think an application where no RFC is used and have a problem of Date format. In this case your way can not be used; But i got the solution by changing the default language to English UK (en-gb);

Thanks for the reply and your time.

Hi,

Make use of the following code

IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("Your Date attribute");
	  attributeInfo.getDataAttribute().getScalarType().format("dd/MM/yyyy");

I coded that in the wdInit() but saying getScalarType() is not available in IWDAttributeInfo.

where may i went wrong?

Hi Vinod,

I had something similar and to get round it all what was needed was a change in SU01.

Test it for you

SU01 -> Person ->Format country = GB

communication -> Language = English

then refresh you web dynpro

hope it helps

Hi Liam,

In this work, i am not at all using any RFC; Its just a InputField UI element with its type as date. Now all i want is to change is default date format from MM/dd/yyyy to dd/MM/yyyy. I am able to change its format using SimpleDateFormat() for the first time; But once you select another date from the Date picker, the format again comes back as MM/dd/yyyy.

I need a solution for this.

Thanks,

Hi,

Use the following:

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy ");

String dateReturn = dateFormat.format(<Your Date>) ;

Hope this helps.

thanks & regards,

hello,

I think you didn't get the Qst.

The Date Picker is an Input field of type Date and by using the code its possible to chage the value only once. Once you select a date from the date picker, it again goes to the default date format; that is mm/dd/yyyy

Please go through the Qst..
