Formatting Date and Time in Smartforms.

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'm a newbie and I'm working with smartforms.

My requirement is to get the following format of date and time in a text within a template.

'MMM DD HH:MM'

Like : Jan 01 12:45

I have tried SAPScript Commands like 'SET DATE MASK' but that doesn't appear to work.

Do I have to use a Function Module?

Please help out. A sample code will be appreciated!

Regards & Thanks,

Hi,

You need to create a code

data: l_yy(4), l_dd(2).

l_yy= sy-datum+0(4).

l_dd = sy-datum+6(2).

and then use them in them in the text. The time you can get it easy.

Hi,

You can get month description in respective language from T247 table.

Concatenate it with sy-datum+0(4) sy-uzeit+0(2) sy-uzeit+3(2).

Hi,

please see this code

DATA: V_DATE1 TYPE STRING

.

SELECT SINGLE LTX FROM T247

   INTO MONTH_NAME

   WHERE SPRAS = SY-LANGU

   AND MNR = SY-DATUM+4(2).

CONCATENATE MONTH_NAME  SY-DATUM+6(2)  DATE1(4)

    INTO V_DATE1 SEPARATED BY SPACE.

If your required format does not exist in standard output option (Check Output Options for Field Contents) else convert to a character field in a small form either with one of the many availabale FM or a small code.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for your replies. But where do I try these codes?

Is it in the 'Initialization' section in Global Definitions?

In that case what all should i declare in the 'Global Data' tab?

[former_member187748]

Hi declare all variables in global declaration of smartform, then create a program lines in your smartforms, then define it in input and output parameters (variables).

Then you can show it in output as v_date1, please add sy-uzeit for time

use &v_date1&, where you wants to show this date format.

Where do I declare MONTH_NAME? I tried under Global Data tab in Global Definitions and then in Form Interface. Please help...

Thanks.

[RaymondGiuseppi]

Define the text field in Global Settings/Global Definitions tab Global Data. Then if the date is unique during the form executuion, initialize this text in Initialization tab, else create a form in tab form routines and call this form in a program lines node before the text nodes that use its value. Also don't forget the import/export parameters of every node.
