date format

Former Member — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 10:55:25 GMT

hi gurus !!!!!!!!

i am dealing with an inbound - outbound interface.

I have a date field that i am sending in to the outbound.

in the program its is the format YYYYMMDD.

But when i look for the resultant outbound message in transaction SXMB_MONI, the date is getting transformed to YYYY-MM-DD.

If I am sending a blank in this date field, then the result is - - ....

I get two hipens. This is undesireable. Can I remove this hipens if i dont send any date?

Need help on this.

regards,

Balaji

Hallo,

it seems like you´ll deal with a modification to the standard code. Probably your date field is being formated either per code or with another data element, which has the YYYY-MM-DD configuration.

Try to find enhancement points in the program´s code if you really need to change the date´s format.

Hi,

Use this FM to convert the date into current user format

CALL FUNCTION 'CY_CONVERT_DATE'

EXPORTING

date_string_imp = lv_lfdate

IMPORTING

date_string_exp = lv_fdate1

date_exp = lv_fdate2.
