Gopi,

It look like a bug in WebDynpro, Check below threads for more information:

Try this out...

<code>

Date date = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());

String DATE_FORMAT = "dd-MMM-yyyy";

java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf =

new java.text.SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);

String actdate = sdf.format(date);

</code>

Hi,

Suppose there is a field cxt_date in the context of type Date. In order to set this date in the required format, u can use the folowing code :

SimpleDateFormat ob = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");

String lfDate = "";

lfDate = ob.format(wdContext.currentContextElement.getCxt_date());

Hi Gobi,

Create a simple type (Under Dictionaries), give Built in type as date. in representation tab give the format whichever you want

In your case, format is "dd-MMM-yyyy"

Assign this newly created simple type to your date value attribute.

Dear Sandeep,

Thanks for your suggestion. The format is now set to dd-MMM-yyyy foramt. But when we selected the date from date picker, it is not displaying in correct format.

For e.g., if we select 13 June 2008, then 13-066-2008 is getting displayed.

Please let us know if anything else needs to be set.

Hi,

1) Change the browser settings

2) Other one

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

Hi,

am getting error in the 2nd approach at the line:

attributeInfo.getDataAttribute().getScalarType().format("dd-MMM-yyyy");

saying * getScalarType() method is undefine for the IWDAttributeInfo*.
