Yongho,

Create a variable say InputDate with below formula:

=FormatDate([date_object];"MM/dd/yyyy")

And use that variable(InputDate) for Input Control, then you will not see any timestamp in input control.

Try it and let us know if you face any issues.

hey sahil khurana

I create a variable say InputDate with below formula:

(=FormatDate([date_object];"MM/dd/yyyy") )

And use that variable(InputDate) for Input Control, then you will not see any timestamp in input control.

but InputDate's input control is not  Calendar because FormatDate()'s output is string type

so I tryed variable say InputDate with below formula:

Todate(FormatDate([date_object];"yyyy-MM-dd"); "yyyy-MM-dd")

I want to use calendar Input controls..

if i select date in inpu controls(calendar),...

The results are now out of the picture below.

However, when the date was selected, I want the results below.

i know that the 12:00:00 AM  is default values, so ..when I select a date, I do not want to show 12:00:00AM.

Hi park

Which data base you are using , this formatting  depends on DB , suppose we take Sybase db , we can use the dataformat function in the data object to get the desired output,  i suggest you to search the function for date format corresponding to your db and apply the same in universe level  

and also try this

At Universe level goto business layer , double click on date object and goto to advanced properties and lower left side select the format you wud like to view , some times it might work ..that too depends on db

Hope this helps u

Hi Yongho,

Create a variable to derive month/date/year from calendar object and use it as filter/Input control.

=todate([Object];"mm/dd/yyyy")

Hi Sunil,

Time stamp in query prompt in BO 3.1 and BO 4.0 is by default.

For that you have to install BO 4.1. In BO 4.1 now time stamp is not there only date is there.

Hi Sunil ,

This is the parameter to set at the BO Server.You may need to change the Date/Time preferences in BO server.
