Require a function module for date to get previous months as output

Former Member — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 06:17:20 GMT

Hi ,

Can anyone please suggest me whether we have any standard function module to calculate a date in following format:

example:

If I enter date 26/08/11(format for entering date can be any)

It should return me 08/11, 07/11, 06/11

i.e on entering date i should get in return previous two months along with current month as output.

I have searched with std date function module but none of them was matching my reqiurement.

Please help.

Thanks & Regards,

Shweta

I don't think there is a standard FM meeting your requirement

You can create a simple custom function module and achieve this requirement.

Hi,

This is a very simple requirement. You can just do like below.

va_month = sy-datum+2(2). "Month

va_year = sy-datum+4(4). "Year

if va_month > 2.

va_prev_first_month = va_month - 1.

va_prev_sec_month = va_month - 2.

concatenate va_month va_year seperated by '/' into va_curr_month.

concatenate va_prev_first_month va_year seperated by '/' into va_prev_1.

concatenate va_prev_sec_month va_year seperated by '/' into va_prev_2.

else.

case va_month.

when 1.

va_prev_first_month = 12.

va_prev_sec_month = 11.

concatenate va_month va_year seperated by '/' into va_curr_month.

va_year = va_year - 1.

concatenate va_prev_first_month va_year seperated by '/' into va_prev_1.

concatenate va_prev_sec_month va_year seperated by '/' into va_prev_2.

when 2.

va_prev_first_month = 1.

va_prev_sec_month = 12.

concatenate va_month va_year seperated by '/' into va_curr_month.

concatenate va_prev_first_month va_year seperated by '/' into va_prev_1.

va_year = va_year - 1.

concatenate va_prev_sec_month va_year seperated by '/' into va_prev_2.

endif.
