Hi,

If the i_date1 is of data type D..Then you can check IF NOT i_date1 IS INITIAL..

Hi naran,

The I_date is declared as date only but when ever the I_date is space the condition not satisfying

pls see the below code

i_date = int_out1-zactcostdte.

if not i_date is initial.

CONCATENATE i_date6(2) i_date4(2) i_date(4) INTO

i_OUTPUT SEPARATED BY '.'.

int_out1-zactcostdte = i_output.

else.

int_out1-zactcostdte = '00.00.0000'.

endif.

if the i_date is space instead of '00000000' then it is going to concatenate instead of going to else part.

pls suggest

Hi,

Probably while storing the data "int_out1-zactcostdte" the date value would have been blank...instead of initial value for date...

In this case..

Check for both NOT INTIIAL and NOT EQUAL SPACE..

if not i_date1 is space AND

not i_date1 is initial.

• Concatenate

else.

• Default

endif.

Hello ,

Try this :-

DATA: i_date TYPE sy-datum.
DATA: i_output TYPE char10.

i_date = sy-datum.

CLEAR i_date.

IF i_date CN '00000000'.

  CONCATENATE i_date+6(2) i_date+4(2) i_date(4) INTO
  i_output SEPARATED BY '.'.
  i_date = i_output.

ELSE.
  WRITE '00000000' TO i_date.
ENDIF.

WRITE:/ i_date.
WRITE:/ 'BLA BLA BLA '.
WRITE:/ i_output.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Yes..Looks good..

But IS INITIAL and this condition i_date co '00000000' both are same..

You can remove one of them..

Thanks,
