help in FM /SDF/CMO_DATETIME_DIFFERENCE

Former Member — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 05:05:36 GMT

i am using the function module /SDF/CMO_DATETIME_DIFFERENCE to calculate the days between two dates.

i m getting the output. but what i want is if it does the receives blank as one value( from the two given dates) in exporting.........then it should show blank as diff days.(importing diff days).

my code is:

I_TAB-ERDAT

I_TAB-GP_DATE

I_TAB-BC_GP.............ALL THESE HAVE BEEN DECLARED IN I_TAB. AND THWY HAVE THEIR VALUES IN DATE FORMAT IN I)TAB.

CALL FUNCTION '/SDF/CMO_DATETIME_DIFFERENCE'

EXPORTING

DATE1 = I_TAB-ERDAT

TIME1 =

DATE2 = I_TAB-GP_DATE

TIME2 =

IMPORTING

DATEDIFF = I_TAB-BC_GP

TIMEDIFF =
EARLIEST =
EXCEPTIONS
INVALID_DATETIME = 1
OTHERS = 2

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

DO WE HAVE ANY PROVISION IN THIS FM THAT IF THERE IS BLANK SOMEWHERE IN I_TAB-GP_DATE THEN IT SHOULD SHOW

I_TAB-BC_GP AS BLANK.

HOWEVER IT IS RECEIVING VALUE IN ANOTHER EXPORTING PARAMETER THAT IS I_TAB-ERDAT.

Hi,

Its a difference generator FM so def .. its gonna subtract the first date from the second one ..

Try using a if condition before it to check whether your field contains initial value or not ..

If I_TAB-ERDAT is initial or I_TAB-GP_DATE is initial.

I_TAB-BC_GP = 0.

else.

call the function module.

Hope this will surely help you !!!

i_tab-bc_gp = "". is not working..showing an error. suggest something to recitify this

Hi abhishek1345 ,

 "Why don't you copy function module /SDF/LCMO_COMP_REPOSTOP to Z/SDF/LCMO_COMP_REPOSTOP 
Change logic in " perform datetime_difference
          using date1 time1 date2 time2
                datediff timediff earliest. " From  function module  
as per your requirment  .

That would be better or

Copy code from function module and change as per your requirment .

regards

Deepak.

Hi,

now for any numeric field like integer, decimal the default value is always 0 whether it contains data or not.

So for display purpose you have put this value in a character field and display that field in place of the numeric one.

now for eg.

while displaying

use

write i_tab-bc_gp to <char_field>

and display that <char_field>

Hope this will resolve !!!
