Hi Guyz,

i have one problem with my report, can anyone guide me how to solve the below problem.

i have a date in hijri and it is displaying well in forms as well in sql like 1420/02/13 but when i create report and run it change the format like 13-feb-2005 in this format how can i convert date in hijri in reports.

This below function converts gregorian date to hijiri date

select to_char(to_date('20090111','YYYYMMDD'),'YYYY/MM/DD', 'NLS_CALENDAR='''||ARABIC HIJRAH''')FROM DUAL;

how can i use the above funtion in reports?

Hi Ashraf,

In your first query there is date format problem.

use the below code in your sql command and do your query
hope this will solve your first problem

alter session set nls_calendar='Gregorian';
alter session set nls_date_format='DD/MM/YYYY';

alter session set nls_calendar='Gregorian';
alter session set nls_date_format='YYYY/MM/DD';

alter session set nls_calendar='Arabic Hijrah';
alter session set nls_date_format='YYYY/MM/DD';

for your second query using hijri calendar below is the code.

-- This function converts  hijiri date to gregorian date
select to_date('14290509','YYYYMMDD', 'NLS_CALENDAR = '''||'ARABIC HIJRAH''') frin dual;

-- This function converts  gregorian date to hijiri date  
select to_char(to_date('20090111','YYYYMMDD'),'YYYYMMDD', 'NLS_CALENDAR = '''||'ARABIC HIJRAH''') from dual;

it is more simple as we think. you can use any calendar in your forms, im using hijri-to-gregorian and gregorian-to-hijri in my forms i'm attaching snap of my form for your understanding.

/forum/fa/6020/0/

if you need more details give me your email id i will forward a copy of my form to you.

Regards

Moazam

thank you man,
thats nice of you that you reply to my question.
but you know my big problem is how to force the user to insert the hijri date in a correct format "you know that the date format in form dosnt support hijri date like 31/02/1429"

so what is the correct format for the date text_item
or do you have an ideas to save this date in a column of date data type.

and this is my Email:

there are many ways to force user to insert data in the particular field using validation triggers like WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD.

or you can use format mask (YYYY/DD/MM) in property of text_item

the correct format for hijri date is "YYYY/MM/DD" (1429/02/31).

thats right; this format correct but for Gregorian date.
but when assign this format mask "YYYY/DD/MM" to the text item
and i entered this date "1430/31/02" which the user should enter
it gives me this error:

FRM-50004 Day must be between 1 and last of month
as in the attached file.
thanks.
