Hi All,
How can we display dates in different languages formats in XML Publisher/Bursting reports:
for eg:
US: 10-MAY-09
D: 10-Mai-09
Dec - Dez
Oct Okt
Etc...
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Suman

Hi,
Now I am able to format dates by using below code in RTF.. form field help text.
<?xdofx:substr(RD,1,3)||decode(substr(RD,4,3),'MAR','Mär','MAY','Mai','OCT','Okt','DEC','Dez',(substr(RD,4,3)))||
substr(RD,7,3)?>
where 'RD' is date field in RTF template.
Cheers,
Suman

I do not know Publisher, but if you mean you select a date and use a to_char around it and say the latter causes performance issues - I just do not believe that.
It is very, very unlikely that just using to_char causes that, there must be something else involved.
A where clause on that field perhaps?

Hi Skooman,
Thanks for your reply.. you are correct that will not cuase much performance issue but still for very huge data it may cause.
Now, my requirement has changed, i dont want months names in different languages but I want different date format for different langugaes.
For eg. 'DD-MON-YY' for German, 'YYYY/MM/DD' for US etc..
In some documents I found that the source date should be in cnonical format, I am selecting my date in query as
to_char(prh.creation_date,'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss hh:mm') as "REQ_DATE"
I am using below formatting in RTF template:
<?format-date:REQ_DATE;'DD-MON-YY'?>
in RTF template > Add help text, but formatting is not working.
It's coming as in XML data.
Am I giving the correct format for canonical date format??
Or I am missing anything here?
Regards,
Suman

Hi,
Firstly, please create new topic if you have a different question (previous question you replied to was about BI Publisher, not OBIEE).
As far as I know, all interface elements (including calendar) should come in the language the user selects (while logging in). I do not know if OBIEE comes in Thai Buddha, but if it does it should automatically work - if it doesn't then I don't know of any way to only make the calendar selection work in a different language then the rest of the front-end.
Regards,
Sabine
