Hi

I have attached the calendar object provided by Oracle (i.e, Calendar.pll etc from Oracle Forms Demo) to my EMP form at HIREDATE field.

When I call calendar form using F9 and click on OK button I am getting today's date correctly (i.e, 28-Feb-2006) but when I select other date (Say 14-Mar-2006) I am getting 14-Mar-0006 instead of 14-Mar-2006.

Could anybody please help to resolve this.

Is '14-Mar-0006' appearing on the screen or in your database? Check that your fields are long enough to handle both the formatted and unformatted data strings.

Halo David,

It appears in Database too.

When I change the Format Mask of HIREDATE field to DD-Mon-YY then the date stored correctly(i.e, 14-Mar-2006 only).

If I change Format Mask as DD-Mon-YYYY then it is getting sored as 14-Mar-0006.

IF I dont give any Format Mask then also it is getting stored as 14-Mar-0006 only.

I am litrally confused what is happening.

Please find the attached .rdf I have developed.

It is based on EMP table of SCOTT Schema.

Where are you 'seeing' the value '14-Mar-2006'? If the field format is DD-Mon-YY then that is what the field will show you.

Again, how long is your field!!

Hi David

I've seen that value in Database.

I mean 'Stored' means value stored in Database.

Detail Explnation for what you have asked
Format Mask is DD-Mon-YY on HIREDATE Field. When I select date from calendar the date appears on HIREDATE Field is 14-Mar-06 and stored in database as 14-Mar-2006.

HIREDATE Field length is 11.

When I say that I 'see a value in the database' it means I am looking at the 7-byte hexadecimal value in the raw database file. Again, how are you 'seeing' the data? Are you using SQL*PLus, or TOAD, or Oracle SQL Developer, or Access?

I believe that you have a NLS_DATE_FORMAT issue. this means that you will need to determine the NLS_LANG and NLS_LANGUAGE settings as well as NLS_DATE_FORMAT.

Are you running your form through a Developer Server or an Application Server? If DS then check the NLS_DATE_FORMAT in your registry and forms_web.cfg file. If AS then check its settings. If you are looking through SQL*Plus then check the databases NLS values.
