date comparison

[Former Member]

Hello Everybody!

The problem what I'm havng is:

These information are given

keyDate 01.09.2007 type char

eventDate 20080227 type dats

The following if statement doesn' t return relyable results. With other

words this comparison is not working. How can I do it better.

IF keyDate GE eventDate.

If you are comparing two dates, they should be of same data type(dats) and format. Then you can get better results.

Generally SAP stores dates in YYYYMMDD format.

Try to have both the dates with same formats.

then you can compare them.

[former_member194669]

data : v_date(8) type c.
data : v_date1 like sy-datum.
concatenate keyDate+7(4) keyDate+0(2) keyDate+4(2) into v_date.
write v_date to v_date1.
IF v_date1 GE eventDate

convert event date to key date format

do like

eg:keydate:20080902

data:keydate like '20080902'.

data:eventdate

concatenate keydate6(2) '.' keydate4(2) '.' keydate+0(2) into eventdate

write:/ eventdate.

then

make comparision using if
