date formatting in java

[DaveMere]

Hi there. Sure I'm being dumb but can't figure this out!

I'm bringing back a date field from my database via stored procedure. For some reason though the month information is not being displayed. The field in question is a datetime field in a Sybase database and in this example contains the value "Mar 3 2003 12:00AM"

Here's the code I use to output.

SimpleDateFormat datOutput = new SimpleDateFormat( "dd/mm/yyyy" );
System.out.println(datOutput.format(rs.getDate(25)));

What comes out is "03/00/2003"

Does anyone have any idea why the month info is not being displayed?

many thanks!

I believe "mm" should be capitalized. "MM"

yup, month is MM and minutes is mm
