DateUtil

public DateUtil()

Method Details

dateTo21Symbol

public static final String dateTo21Symbol(Date d)

Returns the full date/time

Parameters:

d - : date

Returns:

. return date in format "200612051046048200000" YYYYMMDDHHmmssmillis..

integerOfDate

public static final int integerOfDate(long date)

The INTEGER-OF-DATE function converts a date in the Gregorian calendar from standard date form (YYYYMMDD) to integer date form.

Parameters:

date - - Must be an integer of the form YYYYMMDD, whose value is retrieveed from the calculation (YYYY * 10,000) + (MM * 100) + DD, where: YYYY represents the year in the Gregorian calendar. It must be an integer greater than 1600, but not greater than 9999. MM represents a month and must be a positive integer less than 13. DD represents a day and must be a positive integer less than 32, provided that it is valid for the specified month and year combination.

Returns:

- The returned value is an integer that is the number of days that the date represented by argument-1 succeeds December 31, 1600 in the Gregorian calendar.

integerOfDate

public static final int integerOfDate(String date)

The INTEGER-OF-DATE function converts a date in the Gregorian calendar from standard date form (YYYYMMDD) to integer date form.

Parameters:

date - - Must be an integer of the form YYYYMMDD, whose value is retrieveed from the calculation (YYYY * 10,000) + (MM * 100) + DD, where: YYYY represents the year in the Gregorian calendar. It must be an integer greater than 1600, but not greater than 9999. MM represents a month and must be a positive integer less than 13. DD represents a day and must be a positive integer less than 32, provided that it is valid for the specified month and year combination.

Returns:

- The returned value is an integer that is the number of days that the date represented by argument-1 succeeds December 31, 1600 in the Gregorian calendar.

integerOfDay

public static final int integerOfDay(long date)

SAS 11.03.2009

Returns:

returns number of days since December 31, 1600 for the date DATE.

dateOfInteger

public static final int dateOfInteger(long days)

Replacement for function 'date-of-integer' converts a date in the Gregorian calendar from integer date form to standard date form (YYYYMMDD).

Parameters:

days - - positive integer that represents a number of days succeeding December 31, 1600, in the Gregorian calendar. The valid range is 1 to 3,067,671, which corresponds to dates ranging from January 1, 1601 thru December 31, 9999.

Returns:

- an integer of the form YYYYMMDD where YYYY represents a year in the Gregorian calendar; MM represents the month of that year; and DD represents the day of that month.

dayOfInteger

public static final int dayOfInteger(long days)

Replacement for function 'day-of-integer' in MicroFocus

getYYYYOfYear

public static final int getYYYYOfYear(int twoDigitYear)

Translation of FUNCTION YEAR-TO-YYYY. Converts a 2 digit year to a 4 digit year

Parameters:

twoDigitYear -

Returns:

FourDigit Integer

getDb2TimeStamp

public static String getDb2TimeStamp()

returns a 26 digit date-time string in DB2 format : e.g. "2016-02-02 11:12;12.123000"
Note: DB2 time functions contain 6 digit milli invalid input: '&' nano seconds. Java/C# only contain 3 digit milli seconds information. Hence the last 3 digits will be randomly assigned
This function can be used instead of calling the following SQL statement from COBOL

  SET :WS-DATE-TIME = CURRENT TIMESTAMP 

Or from Java:

  SELECT CURRENT TIMESTAMP from  FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1 

Returns:

getDb2TimeStamp

public static String getDb2TimeStamp(ISMBean sqlca)

returns a 26 digit date-time string in DB2 format : e.g. "2016-02-02 11:12;12.123000"
Note: DB2 time functions contain 6 digit milli invalid input: '&' nano seconds. Java/C# only contain 3 digit milli seconds information. Hence the last 3 digits will always be 000 due to this limitation
This function can be used instead of calling the following SQL statement from COBOL

  SET :WS-DATE-TIME = CURRENT TIMESTAMP 

Or from Java:

  SELECT CURRENT TIMESTAMP from  FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1 

Returns:

getDb2Date

public static String getDb2Date()

returns a 10 digit date string in DB2 format : e.g. "2016-02-02" This function can be used instead of calling the following SQL statement from COBOL

  SET :WS-DATE-TIME = CURRENT DATE 

Or from Java:

  SELECT CURRENT DATE from  FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1 

Returns:

toDb2DateFormat

public static String toDb2DateFormat(Timestamp timeStamp)

getSMTimeStamp

public static String getSMTimeStamp()

SoftwareMining time Stamp yyyy-MM-dd.HH-mm-ss-SSS- used internally / for creating time-labeled output directories

Returns:

formatASeriesNativeDate

public static String formatASeriesNativeDate()

Returns the current date in Unisys A-Series native format (DD MMM YYYY).

Returns:

Current date as an 11-character string, for example "01 JAN 2026".
