Crystal Reports for Eclipse Designer Guide

Day of Week dialog box

Use the Day or Week option to set detailed formatting options for date fields in your report.
Day Type
When you are setting up a custom format for a date field object, if you want the name of the day (or an abbreviation of that name) to appear before the rest of the date, use this option to set the format for that name. Your options are:
Format
Description
Short
Prints an abbreviation of the day name before the date (for example, Fri).
Long
Prints the full day name before the date (for example, Friday).
None
Does not print a day name before the date.
Choose the option that fits your needs. The program modifies the sample date at the bottom of the dialog box to reflect your choice.
If you set this property to Short or Long, you need to specify the character(s) you want to use to separate the name from the date itself. You do that in the Separator box.
Day Separator
When you are setting up a custom format for a date field object, if you set the Leading Day Type property to short or long (so a day name or abbreviated day name appears before the date), you need to specify the character(s) you want to use to separate the name from the date itself. You do that in this box. Within practical limits, you can use as many characters as you need. For example,
  • To separate a date name from a date, you may use Comma+Space (, ) as your separators.
  • To separate a date name abbreviation from a date, you may use Period+Comma+Space (., ) as your separators.
Type in the characters you want to use. The program modifies the sample date at the bottom of the dialog box as you do.
Day Enclosure
Use the Day Enclosure list to select parentheses or square brackets as an enclosure for date/time fields on your report.
Day Position
Use the Position list to select either a Leading or a Trailing position.
