receiving error from function CALL 'DATE_CONV_EXT_TO_INT'.

Former Member — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 09:43:26 GMT

Hi,

I am getting error as 'Wrong Date' when function module 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL' is used. In this function module when it is accessing the function

CALL 'DATE_CONV_EXT_TO_INT'

ID 'DATINT' FIELD H_DATE_INTERNAL

ID 'DATEXT' FIELD H_DATE_EXTERNAL.

I am getting sy-subrc as 3. The date which is passed to H_DATE_EXTERNAL is 02012013. But when I pass the date 02012012 then there is no error. I guess it is showing error for the date of 2013, can you please suggest what I need to do in this scenario ?

Many thanks.

use simple calculations like

date1 = 01022013.

concatenate date+4(4) date+2(2) date+0(2) into date2.

this will give you 20120201.

regards and hope this helps,

Vinoth.

It is better to use standard utility function modules instead of writing your own logic (unless you have a very specific requirement). I just checked in my system by passing 01022013 to CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL and it worked fine. Maybe there is a bug in your code.

Hi Vinoth,

This calculation is already there in the code but still the function module is used. So you are saying that this function module is not necessary if we are using the calculation you'hv suggested.?

no i didnt say that exactly . its better always using standard function modules that are provided by SAP. But since you are getting error that can be solvable by simple logic this code will work that i provided . Kindly debug your code to get the error.

hope it wil be helpful.

Hi Vinoth and Kumar,

May I know any other function modules I can try using for the date conversion ?

Hi Kumar,

The logic Vinoth has given is already used in the code before calling the function module. I guess this logic should not be there if we are calling the function module. Either to use this logic or function module, correct ?

Hi,

Give input date as 01022013, i guess you are giving as 20130102

Thanks,

Govind

Well yes. I don't see any reason in having two pieces of code doing the same thing. But, I would still recommend the use of the standard function module.
