Initial Value display for table filed

[Former Member]

Hi,

I created a ZTable.One of my field is ca_date( date field). Domain for this field is DATS.

In my report i output ca_date and erdat(from vbap).

Now in the output the value for ca_date is ' ', and for erdat is '00/00/0000'.

Can any one tell me why there is a difference even though the domain for both the fields is same?

ca_date is not key field in my table and also the key for initial value is not checked?

Thanks,

Challa.

Hi Challa Bhaskar,

I am not sure whether you used the Build-in type or the data element. It is also good to use the Data element. Please use the data element DATUM for the field CA_DATA.

I just created a table as follows and printed it.

Field DataElement Data type

MANDT MANDT CLNT 3 0 Client

VEBLN VBELN CHAR 10 0 Sales and Distribution Document Number

POSNR POSNR NUMC 6 0 Item number of the SD document

C_DATE DATUM DATS 8 0 Date

It printed correctly.

Sample program

REPORT zkas1 .

DATA : it_zkas LIKE zkas OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA : BEGIN OF it_tab OCCURS 0,

vbeln TYPE vbeln,

posnr TYPE posnr,

erdat TYPE erdat,

END OF it_tab.

SELECT * FROM zkas

INTO TABLE it_zkas.

SELECT vbeln posnr erdat FROM vbap

INTO TABLE it_tab

WHERE vbeln = '0020012485'

AND posnr = '0010'.

Write : / 'Printed from Ztable'.

LOOP AT it_zkas.

WRITE : / it_zkas-vebln,

it_zkas-posnr,

it_zkas-c_date.

ENDLOOP.

skip 3.

Write : / 'Printed from VBAP'.

LOOP AT it_tab.

WRITE : / it_tab-vbeln,

it_tab-posnr,

it_tab-erdat.

ENDLOOP.

Output

Printed from Ztable

20012485 000010 00/00/0000

Printed from VBAP

20012485 000010 11/09/2004

Hope this Helps.

hi bhaskar,

may be the date format is incorrect,,

if u want to convert date from dd.mm.yyyy to yyyymmdd at runtime then check this code..

data mydate like sy-datum.

data: year(4) type c,

month(2) type c,

date(2) type c.

year = mydate(4).

month = mydate+4(2).

date = mydate+6(2).
