TalendDate.formatDate - Incorrect Year result

Anonymous — Thu, 19 Oct 2017 14:29:58 GMT

Hello Talend experts.

I have a daily csv file that is arriving without the year. I have come up with the following expression in tmap to correct this:

TalendDate.parseDate("yyyy MMM dd hh:mm:ss", TalendDate.getDate("CCYY") + " " + row2.Timestamp)

The issue I am looking for help on is what to do on January 1 when I run this script. With the above expression, the new year date will be concatenated to the date string instead of the previous years. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi.

You could just replace TalendDate.getDate("CCYY") with the following, which will return the year for yesterday's date:

TalendDate.formatDate("yyyy", TalendDate.addDate(TalendDate.getCurrentDate(), -1, "dd"))

Regards,

Chris

The function TalendDate.addDate returns the wrong date when Dec 31st is entered. It should return 20171231, but it returns 20181231 instead. All other dates work fine except for Dec 31st.

Here is my function: TalendDate.formatDate("YYYYMMdd",TalendDate.addDate(TalendDate.getCurrentDate(),-context.VP_days_back,"DD")));
System.out.println("status_File_Name_Date: "+globalMap.get("status_File_Name_Date"));

When I run it on: Jan 2nd, 2018
