Date format in CSV file

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am working on loading program which downloads the application server CSV file to internal table.

In the CSV file there is a field date in the format (22/05/2008). When I move this to my internal table field date, it is truncating to '22/05/20'. How to solve this issue.

Can I load into internal table with the same format?

Please help me.

Thanks,

Hi,

Try to get it to into char field of length 10.Date field has 8 length so it is truncating.

I guess you have declares it with sy-datum.

Declare like this, this if you want ' / ' in between also.

Data : date(10) type c.

Hi,

u might have declared the variable type as date/sy-datum, instaed declare it as char with length 10.

After the data is moved into ur variable , then u can move it date field using " WRITE....To...' or offsets.

Please check below code.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

Hi, Rangrej

As all Suggested assign first this date to char type filed length 10 and using following way you can assign this to type date.

Test Sample Code Bellow.

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_test,
  cdate(10),
  date LIKE sy-datum,
  END OF ty_test.

DATA: it_test TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_test WITH HEADER LINE.

it_test-cdate = '22/05/2008'. APPEND it_test.
it_test-cdate = '23/05/2008'. APPEND it_test.
it_test-cdate = '24/05/2008'. APPEND it_test.
it_test-cdate = '25/05/2008'. APPEND it_test.
it_test-cdate = '26/05/2008'. APPEND it_test.

LOOP AT it_test.
  it_test-date+0(4) = it_test-cdate+6(4).
  it_test-date+4(2) = it_test-cdate+3(2).
  it_test-date+6(2) = it_test-cdate+0(2).
  MODIFY it_test INDEX sy-tabix.
ENDLOOP.
