Data type problem

Former Member — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 01:36:23 GMT

Well now i have to create a program that would get two parameters.

Posting period as well as the Company Code.

Posting period's format should always be (YYYYMM), I started by declaring

Parameters: pperd(6) type I Obligatory.

But then I noticed, that when I run it, the length of posting period reaches more than 6. I also noticed that there is a data type of ACCP. whose format is YYYYMM. Unfortunately when I try to declare it, it doesn't work.

I'm tyring to find the simplest solution possible, since I also have to implement error checking i.e Month should not be greater that 12 etc. can anyone help

hI there

I'm afraid I tried your solution and its format is MM YYYY when i execute it.

I'm trying for YYYYMM.

also there was no error when I entered the month 20.

Thanks though I appreciate the effort

HI ,

use the table s031-spmon . it will take it in yyyymm. check it in the table table s031.ok . even if u want to declare as parameter declare like.

Parameters: pperd type N Obligatory.

Parameters: pperd like s031-spmon Obligatory.

it will consider only 6 .

nothing to get afraid . what ever the format it may be like MMYYYY or YYYYMM.

u can easily concatenate by your won way look at this example

CONCATENATE lt_output-ausbs6(2) '/' lt_output-ausbs4(2) '/'

lt_output-ausbs(4) INTO lt_file-ausbs.

or goto the TCODE : ABAPDOCU . type keyword as concatenate.

it will work .

reward if its really useful .

bye

Hi Katrina ,

The format depends on your date format setting in your user master. And you should check the month value in your own program.
