Extract Month From Date Using SAP Query.

[Former Member]

Hi Abap expert,

i'm using SAP query SQ01 to run the report from MKPF table, this table does not contain any monthly period. the available field that can i use is BUDAT.

how do i extract the month from date using SAP query report? example;

Date - 01.01.2007 (DD.MM.YYYY) extract to 01.2007 (MM.YYYY)

i think we can use 'local field' and just put the coding but i don't know how to use, please help ?

Hi,

In SQ02 - Maintaining infoset u can add additional field for u r field groups.

U can add field code to that additional field where u can get month(mm.yyyy) from date field.

Create additional field in extras of the infoset.

Hi,

Ya for that u have to use local field but for that u sq01 in this goto edit menu and create local field in that. But for that u have to create one temp field at sq02 and then specify that temp field to local field. And make your all calculation in sq02.

Create posting month as an additional field in the infoset using SQ02. Add some field code to convert BUDAT into month. Then in SQ01, just reference the new field.

Check the default format for date then follow the code.

generally the default format is (yyyy.mm.dd)

data: month(2) type c .

date type sy-datum.

month = date+4(2).

4(2).

here 4 specifies the no of characters you are skipping. This is your starting point

and 2 is the no of characters you want to select.

so extract the month according to your date format.
