hi experts,

i need system year. can we take year alone from sy-datum or is there some other field like sy-year?????

Hi,

SY_DATUM is the only field in SYST table to get the date. You can extract the year from sy-datum.

write: sy-datum+0(4).

hi,

I think we need to take the year from Sy-DATUM only.There is no seperate system field for current year.

Hi,

We can take the system year only from the System Date.For that try the following report program.

REPORT demo_field_symbols_casting.

TYPES: BEGIN OF t_date,

year(4) TYPE n,

month(2) TYPE n,

day(2) TYPE n,

END OF t_date.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> TYPE t_date.

ASSIGN sy-datum TO <fs> CASTING.

WRITE / sy-datum.

SKIP.

WRITE: / <fs>-year

Hi Muruga,

The date in ABAP is internally stored as YYYYMMDD.

use date+0(2).

this will surely solve your problem.

System date is stored as YYYYMMDD.

So to extract the year from the System date, you can write:

sy-datum+0(4)

This will extract the system date's year.

You can write the following short code to check also:-

data: v_date type date.

write:/ sy-datum.

v_date = sy-datum+0(4).

write:/ v_date.

v_date will fetch the year.
