Re: Timestamp format to yyyyMMdd using simple date format

first off sdf.parse only creates a Date() from a string and if you don't call format() you won't get the formated date back, it appears to me that the
************2002-09-19 11:47:15.956000
is your value that you are parsing and
> ************Sun Dec 09 00:00:00 GMT+05:30 2001
is the default .toString() for a Date and
> ********* 20011210
is the correct format according to
SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
So the question is what really do you want to happen ? If you want this format then here is how to do it.
----------------------
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
// learn to use the interface
java.util.Calendar gCal = new= new GregorianCalendar();
String strDate = this.find("LastInterestAccrual
Date").getValue();
Date newDate = sdf.parse( strDate);
String formatDate = sdf.format( newDate );
