Date Format In UpperCase

[kunkasurendra]

Hi,

 

I am getting date as a string from DB. I have

to display it in my report in format like 01 JUN 2008

but it coming like 01 Jun 2008. I don't know how to display it in above mentioned format.

 

can any one help me out?

 

Thanks in advance.

JasperReports uses standard Java date formatters, which as far as I can tell cannot directly produce something like "01 JUN 2008".

 

Hence you have two options:

Write your own date formatter implementation (by extending java.text.SimpleDateFormat) that produces upper case month names, and use the REPORT_FORMAT_FACTORY parameter to instruct JasperReports to use your date formatters.

Manually format the date and convert the result to upper case:

Code:

<variable name="DateFormatter" class="java.text.DateFormat" calculation="System">
  <initialValueExpression>new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy"«»)</initialValueExpression>
</variable>
...
<textFieldExpression>$V{DateFormatter}.format($F{MyDateField}).toUpperCase())</textFieldExpression>

[/ul]

 

HTH,
