Get the current date

Former Member — Mon, 10 Jul 2006 07:28:01 GMT

Hi experts.

i'm trying to get the current date to field in my screen i'm wrote this code in the PBO MODULE

*----

MODULE set_Date OUTPUT.

DATA : LV_Curr_Date like ce3tamb-perbl,

LV_month(3),

LV_year(4).

LV_month = sy-datum+4(2).

concatenate '0' LV_month into LV_month.

LV_year = sy-datum(4).

concatenate LV_year LV_month into LV_Curr_Date.

S_PERBL-LOW = LV_Curr_Date.

ENDMODULE. " set_Date OUTPUT

*----

what strange is that in our dev-server its works fine but on the production it's not.

what i'm trying to do is to get the current month and year to the field S_PERBL-(Fiscal year/period block),so i'll use it for Variant to a job that will work everyday.

thanks in advance.

Gil.

Now that i'm thinking about it this PBO MODULE wont help me to the variant coz for example today the field get current month and year (007.2006) and after i save it to variant it'll be always (007.2006) and i want it to be dynamic.when i save the variant and want to set Dynamic date calculation to this field i see

"Dynamic date calculation write me - Not selected".

hope you can help me.

thanks.

Hi Gil!

You are a little bit confusing: you show a PBO (module pool) and talk about a report - to default values in a report, you should use event INITIALIZATION.

When you define the variant, just don't save anything for the field PERBL - there is a flag for such handling.

Is S_PERBL a range? If yes, then you have to default the internal table, not the header line. Add an 'APPEND s_perbl' after your value assignments. Also define fields SIGN = 'I' and OPTION = 'EQ'.

Christian

Hi Christian!

Well the part of the INITIALIZATION event did help me.

but the part of the variant i didn't understand,

what i did is keep the PERBL field without value and when i save the variant i checked the "Save field without values" but it still no working.

thank you.

Hi Gil!

So one problem is solved: you can default the PERBL field in your report.

Then you had (correctly) the doubt, if this will help in case of a periodic job: the variant might be saved with '007.2006' and stay fixed.

Here the flag 'save field without values' should help: when the job starts, other fields than PERBL should come from the variant, the value of PERBL should be calculated in INITIALIZATION-event.

Do you have the append? What exactly is 'still not working'?

Regards,

Christian

P.S.: Just out of curiosity: how to get ONE point? I thought, smallest assigment is 2?

the job stop after one sec. and i don't have any way to debug it or i do have??

when i debug it i see that the program don't do nothing

and it leaves the debuger after the first line whice is

REPORT Name.

Thanks!!!

P.S about my point i really don't know from were it come from .

I slove it.

Start-Of-Selection or else all the program will be under the INITIALIZATION.

Thank you.
