Date Formating

[Former Member]

Hi all

I get the Date in the format either in DD-MON-YYYY or DD.MM.YYYY. Even sometimes in other format.

I am using CONVERSION_EXIT_SDATE_INPUT to convert it to internal format.

since I have to find the Day from this date using DATE_COMPUTE_DAY.

Unforunately, sometimes the Program works well and sometime gets into trouble.

any help !

Thanks

Hi Remo,

Can you tell me your exact requirement?

As far as my understanding,

you hav to convert dd-mon-yyyy to the ddmmyyyy format so that you can use that in the conversion_exit_sdate_input fm.

I'm not able to get the use of "DATE_COMPUTE_DAY": in this context.

Reward if Useful.

Hi,

May be problem arise on diffrent date format from diffrent user or system so for that first you have to write logic for conversion of date should be same as user specific setting then only u can use those function module.

eg

data : date(10) type c.

write sy-datum to date.

now use this date for your operation.
