Date formatter

[padma wundavalli]

I am using the date formatter class to format the currentdate in the format "yyyymmdd". But in the output is in other format i.e "20013927" . Can anyone identify where I was doing wrong?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The code follows
/* use the pattern and currentlocale to custom format the date & time */
import java.util.*;
String DateTimeStr = "";
java.util.Date CurDate;
SimpleDateFormat formatter;
public GenerateSalesInvXML()
{
super();
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyymmdd");
CurDate = new java.util.Date();
DateTimeStr = formatter.format(CurDate);
}

You're using the lower case m, which is for the minutes in the hour. Instead, use capital M, for month of the year. Something like:
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat ("yyyyMMdd");
Hope this helps

Thank you. Too much experience in the language like VB still has influence on overlooking the case sensitives.
Thanks again.
