date format conflict while running BDC

Former Member — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 06:20:32 GMT

hi techies,

i want to populate sy-datum + 1 to one field tcode vk14.

so what i did is i created variale with length 10 and passing sy-datum + 1 to it.

it is taking sy-datum as raw format and it is changing format w.r.to user.

like '20070511' is converted into '20.07.0511' as user format is 'MM.DD.YYYY'.

so, what exactly i want is to give sy-datum + 1 ( character field with length 10)

by checking user profile automatically.

ex if user profile is 'DD/MM/YYYY' then the variable value should be 05/11/2007.

if user profile is 'YYYY.MM.DD' the the variable value should be 2007.11.05.

please try to find out what to do?

Hi,

Use the write statement..

It will change the format according to the user settings..

EX..

data: v_char(10).

write: sy-datum to v_char.

Thanks

hi kumaran.

its okay.

wat my question is how do pass date format 'YYYY/DD/MM' to v_char.

if it is sy-datum it is not taking that format into consideration. only date it is taking into consideration.

Hi Rama..

this problem arises bcoz the Values to the Screen fields must be supplied in External (User specific) Format.

So u have to convert the Date from internal format (YYYYMMDD) to External format using the FM

CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_OUTPUT

Then pass the Date field in BDC.

HI,

By using the WRITE statement it will automatically invoke the user settings..

data: v_char(10).

write: sy-datum to v_char..

Then use the variable V_CHAR for populating the BDC for the date field.

Thanks
