How to convert date automatically

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am doing function module. In that i created import export and exceptions,and written the code in the source code. See the function module code below.

DATA : l_date TYPE sy-datum VALUE '18000101'.


  IF date1+4(2) > '12'.
    RAISE ex_month.

  ELSEIF date1+6(2) > '31'.
    RAISE ex_day.
  ENDIF.

  IF date2+4(2) > '12'.
    RAISE ex_month.

  ELSEIF date2+6(2) > '31'.
    RAISE ex_day.
  ENDIF.

    no_days = abs( date1 - date2 ).

and called the function in the editor. see the code below.

data : no_days type i.

parameters: date1 type dats,
            date2 type dats.

call function 'Z50803_SD_FUNC_DAYSBTTWODATES1'
  exporting
    date1   = date1
    date2   = date2
  importing
    no_days = no_days
  exceptions
    dat     = 1
    mon     = 2
    day     = 3
    others  = 4.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
  case sy-subrc.
    when 1.
      write:/ 'please enter valid date'.
    when 2.
      write:/ 'Please enter valid month'.
    when 3.
      write:/ ' Please enter valid day'.
  endcase.
else.
  write:/ 'NO OF DAYS:', no_days.
endif.

.

My question is exceptions is not trigger in the output and in the selection screen the date farmat is (yyyy.mm.dd). If i enter the date any format i want to display the output.

plese help me ASAP.

Hi,

The date data type should alwyz be fixed.

Else use FM 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL' or 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL' for changing the format.

DATA: var_dt(10) TYPE c.

CALL FUNCTION 'RP_FORMATING_DATE'

EXPORTING

date_i = var_dt

birth_date = 'X'

IMPORTING

date_o = gv_convtddate.

• EXCEPTIONS

• DATE_INVALID = 1

• OTHERS = 2.

• IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

• ENDIF.

CONCATENATE gv_convtddate6(2) gv_convtddate4(2) gv_convtddate+0(4)

INTO date1 SEPARATED BY '.'

hi,

you will have to convert the input which you give to yyyymmdd format,

hence you can use FM 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'

hi,

for the date to be changed to the system format you can use the function module :

CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL.

this will help you.

hi ,

use the FM CONVERT_DATE_FORMAT to display the date in the ddmmyyyy format.
