Problem in displaying Date

Former Member — Sat, 20 Jan 2007 05:57:05 GMT

Dear Friends,

In one of my dialogs (screens) I have incorporated a text-field for Date. When I make an entry in this field it gets displayed correctly in the desired format e.g. 20.01.2007, but when I call the value of date from the table it gets displayed as 20.07.20. (displaying in yyyymmdd, with periods).

Pls provide me a clue for solving this.

Regards,

Alok.

Hi,

You should use the table reference for the dialog screen field, that should solve your problem.

Thanks,

Hi Alok,

You can use following code to get the date in proper format.

DATA: VA_FINAL(10), VA_DATE(8).

VA_DATE = 20072001.

concatenate va_date6(2) va_date4(2) va_date(4) into VA_FINAL separated by '.'.

Hope this will work.
