Unable to get date in yyyy.MM.dd format

[Former Member]

Hi All

I am unable to get date in yyyy.MM.dd format.

I tried everything said in the previous postiongs.Nothig seem to work.

I am getting date in yyyy-MM-dd

This needs to be changed in said format. Also datatype should be date only.

You can solve the problem in two ways

First way;

Format formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy.MM.dd");

String s = formatter.format(date);

OR

Assuming your context attribute name is Date

IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("Date");

attributeInfo.getDataAttribute().getScalarType().format("yyyy.MM.dd");

Second way;

By changing the default Language of your browser. You have to check the format of each language and choose the language that gives the date in yyyy.MM.dd format.

Thanks all for reply.

Actually I tried both it did not worked.

simple type should work but it didnt.

Also since I need data in date format only.

parse cant be used. Since string converted back had different format.

I requested people to make appropiate change in RFC.

It works now.

hi,

use this

Format formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy.MM.dd");

Calendar cal= Calendar.getInstance();

String s = formatter.format(cal.getTime());

System.out.println(s);

Hi Pratyush,

Use this...

Format formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy.MM.dd");

String s = formatter.format(date);

Pratyush,

Create a Simple Type in Dictionary with "Build-In Type" as "date". Goto the tab "Representation" and enter "yyyy.MM.dd" for "Format". Use this datatype for your context variable. When this variable is displayed, it will be in required format.
