Hi Priyanka

Why not

WRITE l_str_date TO FRMDATE.

hi,

the problem is with FRMDATE data type as ithink it is 8 charcters and eventhough you pass 01/01/2008, it is ignoring last 2 numbers i.e 08.

so declare FRMDATE ascharacetr 10 and check it.

HI,

Instead of declaring FRMDATE parameter as sy-datum or D declare as CHAR10.

ok, do like this.

l_date = sy-datum.

( Here in l_date iam getting as 20090224 )

l_date+4(4) = '0101'.

( now here after chaning i getting it as 20090101 )

*write l_date to l_str_date. <----comment it

( in l_str_dat iam getting it as 01/01/2009 )

FRMDATE = l_date.

( here in FRMDATE it will be 01012009, without any seperator '/' )

revert back,

HI,

Instead of FRMDATE TYPE VBAK-ERDAT declare as FRMDATE TYPE CHAR10.

l_str_dat = 01/01/2009

Now you can pass l_str_dat to FRMDATE.

VBAK-ERDAT is of type DATS and it's length is 8 and display length is 10 with seprators.

Hi,

check the below code.

But some more work should be done to get the user selected date in the selection screen parameter.

parameters:FRMDATE(10) type c.

initialization.

data :
l_date type sy-datum,
l_str_date(10) type c.

l_date = sy-datum.
l_date+4(4) = '0101'.

write l_date to l_str_date.



FRMDATE = l_str_date .

write : frmdate.

at selection-screen on value-request for frmdate.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DATE'

          .
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.

Dear Priyanka,

I have written the follwoing code in PBO and getting the correct output.

tables: vbak.

data :

l_date type sy-datum,

l_str_dat(10) type c.

l_date = sy-datum.

l_date+4(4) = '0101'.

write l_date to l_str_dat.

vbak-erdat = l_str_dat .

Try with DATS format in the general attribute of screen field. Give DefLg and VisLg as 10. (Defined and Visible Length).

Hope this will solve your problem.

just use the move , instead of write. Yiou dont need to worry about the date fromat on the screen as SAp will take care of that automatcially based on user date format

code :

data : 
l_date type sy-datum,
l_str_dat(10) type c.

l_date = sy-datum.

( Here in l_date iam getting as 20090224 )

l_date+4(4) = '0101'.

fromdate = i_date.

i_date+4(4) = '1231'.

todate = i_date.
