Datecalculation in ABAP

[christian_swonke]

Hallo together,

I have a problem with date calculation.

I have to select data for each day in a range.

This means:

The user has the possibility to define a start date and a end date (I tried at first a select-option for the user interface. But I think this will never work right.)

And I have to loop about this range and select for each single date some values.

Is there a functionality / function module who can handle this?

for example a function module with import parameter from and to and return value a table with all dates included.

Because it is really strange to handle this manually with days of month and so on.

Thanks for the help

I can't understand why you not selecting data based on date range(select Option). there should be no problem.

Anyways you can do it in this way.

PARAMETERS: p_dat1 TYPE sydatum,

p_dat2 TYPE sydatum.

DO.

IF p_dat1 gt p_dat2.

exit.

ENDIF.

• DO you processing using P_DAT1.

• Then Add 1 day to start date

p_dat1 = p_dat1 + 1.

ENDDO.

While adding date fields automatically handle all the stuff(like 30 days month or 31days month, lip yr etc.)

Howdy,

The requirement seems strange - why wouldn't you just use a select-option and select all entries for the date range into an internal table.

Then you can extract entries for single dates from the internal table.
