Hi All,

I have a form, in the main window of the form i have an element

SET DATE MASK = 'MM/DD/YYYY' after this statement i have a perform statement.If i go to that subroutine and debug,In debug mode i will see the date fromat as dd.mm.yyyy not like mm/dd/yyyy.Even in my user profile also date format is like mm/dd/yyyy.I am not able to understand why??

Regards,

Sai Prasad

Hi,

Set date mask is only in the context of output of date in SAP Script Layout . And if you see in the debug date field will always be in the format YYYYMMDD.

Hope that helps.

in debugging no conversion exits are executed, since programmers are normally inter4ested in the real values in the fields.

hi,

the SET DATE MASK = 'MM/DD/YYYY' control command is applicable to SAP SCRIPT FORM, it edit the date format only when u run the script form. it is not related to driver program....

you are debugging the subroutinee,it is exisisting in the driver program because of this cause u didn't get proper output like mm/dd/yyyy.

for your clarification, u can debugg the script form also, in that u will get proper out.
