RE: Date format

Hi,

did you put

<xsl:text>20</xsl:text>

so the new template must be like


<xsl:template name="ConvertRtDate">
             <xsl:param name="ADate"/>
		<xsl:text>20</xsl:text>
                         <xsl:value-of select="substring($ADate,8,2)"/>
                         <xsl:choose>
....


or you can

<xsl:template name="ConvertRtDate">
             <xsl:param name="ADate"/>
                         <xsl:value-of
select="concat('20',substring($ADate,8,2))"/>
                         <xsl:choose>

....



both has to work

Ali,
I'm sorry to bother you again...Changing it this way gives me 02 not 2002.
I guess my question is how to change 02 to 2002?
So the formatting of 17-MAY-02 should yield 20020517 not 020517.

Can we convert 2 digit year to 4 digit year?

Thanks,

Akila,

replace the line
                   <xsl:value-of select="substring($ADate,8,4)"/>
with

<xsl:text>20</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="substring($ADate,8,2)"/>

Ali,
Thanks for your help. However, when I call the template like this
<xsl:call-template name="ConvertRtDate">
                  <xsl:with-param name="ADate" select ="@trndte"/>
            </xsl:call-template>

The date of 17-MAY-02 gets converted to 020517. How do I make it 20020517?

Thanks,

Akila

Akila,

The following template translates anything like dd-mmm-yyyy to yyyymmdd, I
beleive a shorter way may exists, but it works
