DATE CONVERSION

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have an input file in which I get the date as 'mm/d/yyyy' eg: 12/31/9999

Now I need to process records from this file in SAP wrt the date.

Can anyone kindly advice how do I convert 'mm/dd/yyyy' to 'yyyymmdd' - sy-datum format?

Kindly treat this as an urgent requirement.

Thanks.

Hi

You can offset the entered data field into day,month and year separately like

your entered data is MMDDYYYY

month = date+0(2)

day = date+2(2)

year = date+4(4).

Now concatenate year month day into date1.

display the date1 in th report

Hi,

Chk this.

data : out_date(10) like char,

in_date(10) like char.

in_date = '10.02.2007'.

*take variables V1, V2, V3.

V1 = in_date+ 0(4).

V2 = in_date+ 5(2).

V3 = in_date+ 7(2).

Concatenate V1 V2 V3 into date separated by '/'.

Now, out_date will have DD/MM/YYYY

Otherwise,Use FM <b>CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_OUTPUT</b>

In this code you can interchange the location of the year,day and month fields as required.

DATA: date LIKE sy-datum,

changedate(10) TYPE c.

DATA: BEGIN OF it_date1, " To accept date into a internal table

yyyy(4),

mm(2),

dd(2),

END OF it_date1.

DATA: BEGIN OF it_date2, " Internal table for dd/mm/yyyy format

dd(2),

mm(2),

yyyy(4),

END OF it_date2.

DATA: BEGIN OF it_date3, " Internal table for mm/dd/yyyy format

mm(2),

dd(2),

yyyy(4),

END OF it_date3.

date = sy-datum.

it_date1 = date.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING it_date1 TO: it_date2,it_date3.

WRITE it_date2 TO changedate USING EDIT MASK '__/__/____'. " dd/mm/yyyy

WRITE:/ 'Date in dd/mm/yyyy format',

/ changedate.

SKIP.

CLEAR changedate.

WRITE it_date3 TO changedate USING EDIT MASK '__/__/____'. " mm/dd/yyyy

WRITE:/ 'Date in mm/dd/yyyy format',

/ changedate.

DATA t_date TYPE FIST-SEARCHW.

move date to t_date.

CALL FUNCTION 'SF_SPECIALCHAR_DELETE'

EXPORTING

WITH_SPECIALCHAR = T_DATE

IMPORTING

WITHOUT_SPECIALCHAR = T_DATE

EXCEPTIONS

RESULT_WORD_EMPTY = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

endif.

*now t_date will have '12319999'

concatenate t_date+4(4) t_date(4) into t_date.

move t_date to date.

*now date will have '99991231'.
