EGL Java run-time error code VGJ0216E

 

VGJ0216E: %1 is not a valid date mask for %2.

 

Explanation

The date mask defined in the properties file for use with the function is not valid.

The valid characters for a date mask are as follows:

D, M, Y

D for Day, M for Month, Y for Year

Separator character

Any nonnumeric, single-byte character except D, M, or Y.

Valid date masks can be in any of the following formats:

• Long Gregorian

  The long version of the Gregorian mask must contain the following parts in any order:

  YYYY

  4-digit year

  MM

  2-digit numeric month

  DD

  2-digit numeric day of month

  The mask parts must be separated by any nonnumeric single-byte character except D, M, or Y.

  For example, a mask of YYYY/MM/DD is used to display August 25, 1997 as 1997/08/25.

• Long Julian

  The long version of the Julian mask must contain the following parts in any order:

  YYYY

  4-digit year

  DDD

  3-digit numeric day of year

  The mask parts must be separated by any single-byte nonnumeric character except D, M, or Y.

  For example, a mask of DDD-YYYY can be used to display August 25, 1997 as 237-1997.

 

User Response

Change the date mask property to a valid value and restart the program. If no date mask property is defined, a default date mask will be used.

The date masks can be set using the properties vgj.datemask.gregorian.long.NNN and vgj.datemask.julian.long.NNN, where NNN is the current NLS code.
