Date conversion format

Former Member — Tue, 22 May 2007 13:38:24 GMT

Hi SDN's

I have a field ANLA-LEABG. And i upload the value from an excel sheet into ITAB.

so while writing the value from Excel to ITAB if the value in excel is 12.02.2005 while writing it to ITAB i use a FM to convert to type DATE so i get the value of date as 20050212.

Now i need to pass the Date value to a BAPI. and my BAPI accpets only in format __.__.____ (DD.MM.YYYY)

so now how do i convert the value to that format. i use a FM : Conversion_Exit_pdate_output But its converting into 12022005. But i want it as 12.02.2005.

How can i get it ? how do i declare the date format for passing it to the BAPI.

Regards

Hi check this,

DATA: e_date(10) type c VALUE '2/2/2006',

i_date(10).

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'

EXPORTING

date_external = e_date

IMPORTING

date_internal = i_date

EXCEPTIONS

date_external_is_invalid = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

WRITE : / 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL',

/ 'My Date:' , e_date ,

'Conv Date:', i_date.

skip 2.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'

EXPORTING

DATE_INTERNAL = sy-datum

IMPORTING

DATE_EXTERNAL = e_date

EXCEPTIONS

DATE_INTERNAL_IS_INVALID = 1

OTHERS = 2

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

WRITE : / 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL',

/ 'My Date:' , sy-datum,

'Conv Date:', e_date.

Hello,

Use <b>Write to</b> to pass top the BAPI Field.

Check this code :-

Data: date type dats.

Write '20050212' to date.

write:/ date.
