Data element for a field with the format mm.yyyy is FTI_MONTH_YEAR.

You can use this in selection screen as:

selection-screen begin of block b1 with frame.

parameters:p_date TYPE fti_month_year.

selection-screen end of block b1.

REWARD IF HELPFUL

Hi,

The below statement can be used to get the date format as MM/YYYY.

concatenate lv_date4(2) '/' lv_date0(4) into gv_date.

where the lv_date contains the date format and gv_date is also the same format.

Pls reward if useful.

Thanks,

Sirisha,

good

there is no such domain or data element as you have mentioned in your query, in this case you have to append month and year value in a new string and display them into the outout.

thanks

Hi Sreelatha ,

There is no search help available to it so far ,

So at the most what you can do is

design a search help in SE11 for your field of this type and attach that to your field using match-code .
