Add to system date

Former Member — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 06:07:21 GMT

Hi All,

I have a scenario where i am declaring a Global variable Numeric.

I will call this variable in a program which will add to the system date.

How do i do this...

try FM RP_CALC_DATE_IN_INTERVAL.

data: wa_date like sy-datum.

call function 'RP_CALC_DATE_IN_INTERVAL'
exporting
date = sy-datum
days = variable
months = 0
signum = '+'
years = 0
importing
calc_date = wa_date.


write: / wa_date.

hi Sureen,

if the global variable represents number of days, you can add directly:

DATA : gv_days TYPE i,
           gv_date TYPE sy-datum.

gv_date = sy-datum + gv_gays.

Also, do not change system variables directly, use a separately defined variable!

hope this helps

Hi Suren,

You can try this way-

Data:w_numc type n,
        w_result type sy-datum.


w_result = sy-datum + w_numc.
