question reg. date

[Former Member]

I am outputtting a date from a date varialbe wa_date depending on certain conditions.

On a particular condition, I don't want the date at all. I mean on the output, I want space instead of the value of wa_date.

I tried with statements like -

1)clear wa_date

or

2) wa_date = ' '

but I am still seeing either '00/00/0000' or ' / / ' when I tried with 'clear' or ' '. Please tell me what can I do to this date variable wa_date so that this date dont appear at all on the output.

Thank you very much.

Hi,

Try to store the date in a character variable..

DATA: V_CHAR(10).

DATA: V_DATE TYPE SYDATUM.

V_DATE = SY-DATUM.

WRITE: V_DATE TO V_CHAR.

WRITE: / 'Before', V_CHAR.

CLEAR: V_CHAR.

WRITE: / 'After' , V_CHAR.

Thanks,

Naren
