Regarding SET DATE MASK in SAPScript

Former Member — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 16:45:38 GMT

I am facing one Problem regarding Set date mask command in SAPScritp.

Actually in the very begining of the SAP Script

One statement has already written

SET DATE MASK = 'MM/DD/YYYY'

Now I want to display one field in the bottom of the SAP Scipt into the user default date format.

I have gone thru the notes provided by SAP. It specifies that <b> You can revert to the standard setting by using the SET DATE MASK command again with an empty string in place of the date mask:

/: SET DATE MASK = ' '

</b>

But I am doing at the end of the code but the date format is not changing.

Please suggest me

Helpfull answers willl be rewarded..

To reset the datemask you should use a NULL string

''

. I see a blank space in between your single quote, may be that is a problem?

Also activate your sapscript everytime you make changes.

Using the SET DATE MASK causes the subsequent date fields to be displayed using the same formatting. To return to the default formatting use the following command:

/: SET DATE MASK = ' '

Can you ensure that the

/: SET DATE MASK = ' DD/MM/YYYY'

and the

/: SET DATE MASK = '''

are right before lines where the respective dates are written ...

Thanks,
