time stamp problem

Former Member — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 05:17:01 GMT

Hi Every one,

I have file to upload from application server.

file name is like 'PPRICE'TIMESTAMP'.CSV'

from this file name i have to read the TIMESTAMP

I can read it like

tstamp = file+10(leng of timestamp).

now this tsamp is in character format.

i have to validate the current date with the time stamp i read into tstamp.

so here is my problem

how do i compare a character with the type timestamp.

please some one help me.

Declare one more variable of type CHAR , and move the TIMESTAMp to that variable , and compare that with ur char variable

data : v_char(14).

move timestamp to v_char.

compare v_char with ur char variable

try this


data : timst(8) type c value '10:10:10',
       timestamp type t.

replace all occurrences of ':' in timst with space.
condense timst.
timestamp = timst.
if sy-uzeit gt timestamp.
endif.

Thing is that

the characters (time stamp) that iam reading from the file name

is a time stamp, iam reading in to character variable.

from the timestamp i have to take the date separately and check with

the current date
