CALCULATE_DATE

[Former Member]

When I call the function module CALCULATE_DATE with input MONTHS=1 and START_DATE=20080131, I get RESULT_DATE=00000000, where one would expect the last date of February to be returned.

Am I not using this function correctly?

Hi,

Use this function Module

CALL FUNCTION 'RE_ADD_MONTH_TO_DATE'

EXPORTING

months = '2'

olddate = lv_date

IMPORTING

newdate = lv_newdate.

Hi, Sir,

Please do reward if useful.

Thankx.

Please see the FM below :

data: wa_date like sy-datum.

call function 'RP_CALC_DATE_IN_INTERVAL'

exporting

date = '20080229'

days = 0

months = 24

signum = '-'

years = 0

importing

calc_date = wa_date.

YOu could also use the function module 'CCM_GO_BACK_MONTHS'

*Func mod will return the date six months before current date

call function 'CCM_GO_BACK_MONTHS'

exporting

currdate = w_curr_date

backmonths = c_number_of_months

importing

newdate = w_six_months_old_date.

DATA : in TYPE sy-datum,
<b>       out TYPE sy-datum.</b>

in = sy-datum.

CALL FUNCTION 'CALCULATE_DATE'
 EXPORTING
*   DAYS              = '0'
   months            = '1'
   start_date        = in
 IMPORTING
   result_date       = out.
