date conversion problem

[Former Member]

Hi SDN's

i get some dates from an excel sheet into internal table.

internal table declaration is as below:

DATA : BEGIN OF it_tab OCCURS 0,
         bukrs LIKE anla-bukrs,
         anln1 LIKE anla-anln1,
         anln2 LIKE anla-anln2,
         grufl LIKE anla-grufl,
         leabg TYPE anla-leabg,
       END OF it_tab.

i use the FM : ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE to get data frm excel to internal table format.

suppose i have a date 12.05.2007 but now when i write the date to the internal table LEABG its taking only 12.05.20

because the FM stores the value in type STR. now my question is how do i update the value LEABG in internal table with the correct date (12.05.2007)

Hi,

Change your internal table declaration as

DATA : BEGIN OF it_tab OCCURS 0,

bukrs LIKE anla-bukrs,

anln1 LIKE anla-anln1,

anln2 LIKE anla-anln2,

grufl LIKE anla-grufl,

<b>leabg(10) TYPE C,</b>

END OF it_tab.

Hi

Try to Change your Internal Table Declaration like below..

DATA : BEGIN OF it_tab OCCURS 0,

bukrs LIKE anla-bukrs,

anln1 LIKE anla-anln1,

anln2 LIKE anla-anln2,

grufl LIKE anla-grufl,

leabg(10),

END OF it_tab.

If this is not working Goto your EXCEL_FILE

goto file save as(text -tab delimited...)

Now You can use GUI_UPLOAD...This is the easy method this will work properly..

DATA : BEGIN OF temp_tab OCCURS 0,

bukrs LIKE anla-bukrs,

anln1 LIKE anla-anln1,

anln2 LIKE anla-anln2,

grufl LIKE anla-grufl,

leabg(10),

END OF temp_tab.

DATA : BEGIN OF it_tab OCCURS 0,

bukrs LIKE anla-bukrs,

anln1 LIKE anla-anln1,

anln2 LIKE anla-anln2,

grufl LIKE anla-grufl,

leabg TYPE anla-leabg,

END OF it_tab.

Call the function module and get data in temp_tab.

Then,

LOOP AT TEMP_TAB.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING TEMP_TAB TO IT_TAB.

CONCATENATE TEMP_TAB-LEABG6(4) TEMP_TAB-LEABG3(2) TEMP_TAB-LEABG+0(2) INTO IT_TAB-LEABG.

APPEND IT_TAB.

ENDLOOP.

Hi all,

thanks you for the replies..

i tried all these things.. but finally i need to pass that date to a BAPI. If i delcare as leabg(10) type C. the BAPI is giving an error saying that Date should be in format '__.__.____'. other formats are not allowed.

but while debug i see that the LEABG is containing the date as '12.02.20' where as 07 is missing.

This will not give an error in BAPI as it_itab contains leabg as type d.

Please see the code carefully below.

DATA : BEGIN OF temp_tab OCCURS 0,

bukrs LIKE anla-bukrs,

anln1 LIKE anla-anln1,

anln2 LIKE anla-anln2,

grufl LIKE anla-grufl,

leabg(10),

END OF temp_tab.

DATA : BEGIN OF it_tab OCCURS 0,

bukrs LIKE anla-bukrs,

anln1 LIKE anla-anln1,

anln2 LIKE anla-anln2,

grufl LIKE anla-grufl,

leabg TYPE anla-leabg,

END OF it_tab.

Call the function module and get data in temp_tab.

Then,

LOOP AT TEMP_TAB.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING TEMP_TAB TO IT_TAB.

CONCATENATE TEMP_TAB-LEABG6(4) TEMP_TAB-LEABG3(2) TEMP_TAB-LEABG+0(2) INTO IT_TAB-LEABG.

APPEND IT_TAB.

ENDLOOP.

Call the BAPI after this and it should not give an error

Hi

data : date like sy-datum,

data1(10) type c.

call function 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'

exporting

date_external = date1

importing

date_internal = date

exceptions

date_external_is_invalid = 1

others = 2.

This should fix ur problem

Thanks

Hi

Assign One more variable like below showing..Keep lebag as character10...

data: Var_dat type sy-datum.

then

concatenate leabg0(2) leabg2(2) leabg+4(4) into var_dat.

Do the masking perfectly ,means you should get the 8 digits into var_dat...

Now pass this into bapi..This Will Work.

Hi Pratya,

Define earlier date leabg as char 10 only

and let me know which BAPI you are using, I will let you know how to code for it.

Hi Pratyu ,

Please check when you upload the data using the FM ALSM_EXCEL* what is the lenght of the feild into which you move the date feild , since you have modified the date feild in the internal table to CHAR 10 , so the entire data will be taken.

Please check this and still if you have problems please do revert back.

I use the BAPI : BAPI_FIXEDASSET_CHANGE

even now i get the same error.

Error : Entry too long (please enter in the format __.__.____)

this is the it_return for the BAPI

TYPE	C	1 	E
ID	C	20 	00
NUMBER	N	3 	089
MESSAGE	C	220 	Entry too long (please enter in the format __.__.____)
LOG_NO	C	20 
LOG_MSG_NO	N	6 	000000
MESSAGE_V1	C	50 	__.__.____

Hi Pratyu,

You should define the date in internal table as char 10, but while passing the date to this BAPI change the date using FM

CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL

and pass the same to this BAPI.

It will surely resolve the issues.
