chech date in sapscript

Former Member — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 14:15:02 GMT

Hi all,

I need to check a date in a sapscript in this way:

/E   HEADER_1
/:   IF &MXABK-TDATE& = '20060601'
/:       <code A>   
/:   ELSE.
/:       <code B>   
/:   ENDIF.

but it doesn't work.

(I hope I don't have to use a form routine for a check so simple).

Could you help me?

I thank you in advance.

Best regards

Just write in the sapscript the value of MXABK-TDATE, this will show you the format it uses when doing the compare.Most probably you'll need to check it against '06/01/2006'

Hi Paolo,

Try to Use the below code in script.

/E HEADER_1

/: set edit mask : 'YYYYMMDD'.

/: IF &MXABK-TDATE& = '20060601'

/: <code A>

/: ELSE.

/: <code B>

/: ENDIF.

I suspect the date format that is getting passed from the program.

In SE71 transaction please activate debugger (Menu utilities ->Activate debugger) and debug the program.
