validation on data and time format

Former Member — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 04:57:55 GMT

In a flat file a date and time fill in but user. And the data and time format should always be fill in with the format <DDMMYYYY> <HHMMSS>

is there a FM which check whether user has put the wrong date format such as <YYYYMMDD> or <MMDDYYYY> instead for the the one mention above.

Please advise whether there is a FM which check on the format on the time stamp also.

Note: the input of the data and time is done by the user.

Thank

Hi,

use the new OOPs concept,


PARAMETERS dateTYPE c LENGTH 10.

DATA matcher TYPE REF TO cl_abap_matcher.
* For date
matcher = cl_abap_matcher=>create( pattern = `[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{2,4}`
                                   ignore_case = 'X'
                                   text = date ).
IF matcher->match( ) IS INITIAL.
  MESSAGE 'Wrong Format' TYPE 'I'.
ELSE.
  MESSAGE 'Format OK' TYPE 'I'.
ENDIF.

like dis pattern for time :


[0-9]{1,2}:[0-9]{2}

pattern for timestamp:


[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{2,4} [0-9]{1,2}:[0-9]{2}

Hi,

For knowing more about OO- ABAP u cam search for detailed documentation and it wll take time to grasp...

for ur requirement normally RegEx ;ie regular expressions are used...which is now replaced with calss based search and find patterns...

for inf abt that see the Regular Expressions topic in the below ppt....
