Datetime in XML format in ABAP......

[Former Member]

Hello ,

     I have a ABAP program that creates an XML file and everything is fine. I just need one date field in XML to conform to W3CC standard (EX: 2006-12-01T10:53:05.2170000). I need datetime in the format "2006-12-01T10:53:05.2170000". How do I acheive this in ABAP?

Thanks.

You will have to format the date field as required from ABAP and send to XML.

In NW ABAP 7.3 Ehp 1 you can find a class named CL_REST_HTTP_UTILS. The method FORMAT_HTTP_DATE creates a date/time fomat according to RFC 822 (ie. "

Sat, 29 Oct 1994 19:43:31 GMT").

And of course there is a reverse method: PARSE_HTTP_DATE
