Format date-- URGENT

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I need to format the date as follows:

input date format : 20070506 (system date format )

required output date format : 05.06.2007

I tried with the FMs CONVERSION_EXIT_SDATE_OUTPUT,CONVERSION_EXIT_LDATE_OUTPUT

I get the output as 05.May.2007. This is not what is needed.

Please let me know how to I get the reqd date format VERY URGENT

Thanks & Regards,

Use the Function Module CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL to convert the date to the external format.

data: l_dat(10).

concatenate sy-datum+6(2)

'.'

sy-datum+4(2)

'.'

sy-datum+0(4) into l_dat.

Hi,.

you can use offset opperator, like this

data: v_datum(10) type c.

concatenate sy-datum+4(2) '.' sy-datum +2(2) '.' sy-datum +0(4) to v_datum.

write:/ v_datum.

Hi

Input date format : 20070506 (system date format )

Required output date format : 05.06.2007

DATA : DAT1 TYPE DATS VALUE '20070506,

DAT2 TYPE STRING.

U can use CONCATENATE DAT14(2) '.' DAT16(2) '.' DAT1+0(4) TO DAT2.

Thanks all for the response..will award points

I used a FM. It gives a output 06052007.

All i need to do now is put a '.' to get 06.05.2007.

Is this possible ?

Hi,

U Can use CONCATENATE keyword to achieve the same.

Just manipulate my previous post a little bit.

Hi,

Have a look on the following code u can get the solution.

DATA: VAR1 TYPE SY-DATUM value '20080313',

VAR2 TYPE SY-DATUM.

• This gives the previous month and next month

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_PT_ADD_MONTH_TO_DATE'

EXPORTING

dmm_datin = var1

dmm_count = '0'

dmm_oper = '-' " Operation (add/subtract)

dmm_pos = 'B' " Set date in the beginning or end of month

IMPORTING

DMM_DAOUT = VAR2

EXCEPTIONS

UNKNOWN = 1

OTHERS = 2.

write:/ var2.

This function module is used to get the previous month/next month.

hey you can directly use this date format without any '.' in your transaction. Otherwise use offset operator by concatenating each variable with '.'

Reward points if use full.

hi....

DATA: yyyy TYPE string.

DATA: mm TYPE string.

DATA: dd TYPE string.

LOOP AT date.

dd = date-eindt+6(2).

mm = date-eindt+4(2).

yyyy = date-eindt+2(4).

CONCATENATE dd mm yyyy INTO date-date1 ."SEPARATED BY '.' .

modify date .

ENDLOOP.

DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM date.

[SantoshKallem]

yes it is possible.

create one vatiable to hold the date with saperaters, size should be 10

data: date1(10) type c.

write: sy-datum to date1 using edit mask '__.__.____'.

regards.
