Function module for date conversion

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there any standard FM to convert data format:

Sample input/output is:

Input: 02-Feb-2009

Output: 20090202

Thanks,

Hi,

You can try the following FMs

DATE_CONV_EXT_TO_INT - Conversion of dates to SAP's internal format

CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL - Formats date from display to internal format

But better you write code...that is with corresponding numbers such as (Jan = 01, Feb = 02, and so on...) and then concatenate into the system date.

Simply SPLIT the <input date> at "-" into <day> , <month> and <year>.

Then convert the <month> to numbers accordingly..

Then CONCATENATE them in the order you want.

Regards.

Hi,

Please use this Function Module

CONVERSION_EXIT_SDATE_INPUT

for ex:

Give input = 01.FEB.2007

then the output wil be = 20070201

Hi,

Thanks, but by replacing '-' with '.' this is working

input : 20-feb-2009 is not working only 20.feb.2009 is working.

Check the user setting as I have mentioned in earlier post. You need to change the default for date n re-login.

hi,

DATA : wa_date(12) VALUE '02-Feb-2009', "dd-mmm-yyyy
       wa_day(2),
       wa_mth(3),
       wa_yer(4),
       wa_date1(8), "yyyymmdd
       wa_mnr(2).

SPLIT wa_date AT '-' INTO wa_day
                          wa_mth
                          wa_yer.

TRANSLATE wa_mth TO UPPER CASE.

SELECT SINGLE mnr FROM t247 INTO wa_mnr WHERE ktx = wa_mth
                                        AND   spras = sy-langu.

CONCATENATE wa_yer  wa_mnr wa_day INTO wa_date1.
"output : 20090202

Hi Neelima,

For your requirement,

First you need to use the function module

CONVERSION_EXIT_SDATE_INPUT

Internally

Input = 01.FEB.2007 
Output wil be = 20070201

All you need to do is move this output date to a variable. 

Data : v_dat type sy-datum. 

  v_dat = 20070201.

After that you need to use another function module calle 


CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL 

IMport parameter 

You need to pass this variable into Import parameter ->  v_dat


So that you will get the output of the date format as you want

Hi,

Try the FM : CONVERSION_EXIT_SDATE_INPUT (or)

Check with the below code:

DATA : wa_date(40) VALUE 'February 02, 2009',

wa_date1(10),

var1(15),

var2(3),

var3(4),

month(2).

SPLIT wa_date AT space INTO var1 var2 var3.

SELECT SINGLE mnr FROM t247 INTO month WHERE spras = sy-langu AND ltx

= var1.

CONCATENATE month var2+0(2) var3 INTO wa_date1 SEPARATED BY '/'.

WRITE wa_date1.

Hi,

Before using fm CONVERSION_EXIT_SDATE_INPUT for date conversion you need to first check the default date format for your user profile in SAP. It needs to be MM-DD-YYYY to cater for your requirement. To do this follow these steps :

1 ) Navigate to System->User Profile -> Own Data

2 ) Click on Defaults tab

3 ) Change the date format to DD-MM-YYYY and save.

4 ) Log Off and Re-Login to the SAP system.

Now you can use fm CONVERSION_EXIT_SDATE_INPUT to change the date format.

Input : 02-FEB-2009

Output : 20090202

Hope it helps.
