Date format

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there any function module to change the date format from YYYYMMDD to DDMMYYYY or MMDDYYYY. Very urgent....

Thanks.....

HI,

You can write a small subroutine to do this.

If you call a FM for this small operation, it will consume some time for execution.

no need to go for a FM .

its just logic which u can built.

data = 20071212.

data10(2) = data6(2).

data12(2) = data4(2).

data14(4) = data0(4).

use

1) data d_date(10).

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'

EXPORTING

DATE_INTERNAL = SY-DATUM

IMPORTING

DATE_EXTERNAL = d_date

EXCEPTIONS

DATE_INTERNAL_IS_INVALID = 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.

write d_date.

2)data d_date like sy-datum value '20060701'.

data n_date(8) type d.

n_date0(2) = d_date6(2).

n_date2(2) = d_date4(2).

n_date4(4) = d_date0(4).

write n_date.

data : vdate like sy-datum value '20070101'.

write : / vdate .

it will write in dd.mm.yyyy format.

otherwise,

daat : date(8).

date(2) = vdate+6(2).

date2(2) = vdate4(2).

date+4(4) = vdate(4).

now date contain the format

Hi Anil,

check this FM

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'

EXPORTING

DATE_INTERNAL = SY-DATUM

IMPORTING

DATE_EXTERNAL = sav_datum

EXCEPTIONS

DATE_INTERNAL_IS_INVALID = 1

OTHERS = 2

.

from 20060830 (yyyymmdd ) to 30.08.2006 ( dd mm yyyy ) format

Hi,

Check this sample code..

DATA: V_DATE TYPE SYDATUM.

DATA: V_CHAR(8).

V_DATE = SY-DATUM.

CONCATENATE V_DATE6(2) V_DATE4(2) V_DATE(4) INTO V_CHAR.

WRITE: / 'DDMMYYYY - ', V_CHAR.

CLEAR: V_CHAR.

CONCATENATE V_DATE4(2) V_DATE6(2) V_DATE(4) INTO V_CHAR.

WRITE: / 'MMDDYYYY - ', V_CHAR.

Hi,

Use the FM:

CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL Converts date from system storage format to users specified display format

data: rd like SY-DATUM,

hd(10) type c.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'

EXPORTING

DATE_INTERNAL = SY-DATUM

IMPORTING

DATE_EXTERNAL = hd

• EXCEPTIONS

• DATE_INTERNAL_IS_INVALID = 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.

write: hd.

Hope this helps.

Reward if helpful.

Hi anil,

The function module is convert_date_to_external.

this will convert the date format from yyyymmdd to the standard format.

Hi,

Use this FM

CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_OUTPUT

input : 20070112

this will give the output : 12.01.2007

Thanks
