date declaration format

[Former Member]

Hi Expert,

I have to convert the date format from yyyyymmdd to ddmmyyyyy for that i have written the below code

  data: ersda1 like mara-ersda.
*********** bof date conversion

  move wa_output-ersda to ersda1.
 
  year_frm = ersda1-low+0(4).
  month_frm = ersda1-low+4(2).
  day_frm = ersda1-low+6(2).

concatenate day_frm '.' month_frm '.' year_frm into date_from.

 
i have written the code above but it is giving error like 'THE DATA OBJECT 'ERDAT1' HAS NO STRUCTURE AND THEREFORE NO COMPONENT CALLED LOW.

Any one can suggest me on this

Regards,

Hi ,

Try this

year_frm = ersda1+0(4).

  month_frm = ersda1+4(2).

  day_frm = ersda1+6(2).

thanks,

Your code is copied from a code designed to work with a SELECT-OPTIONS or a RANGE TYPE. Either use it as it should or remove the -low, or -high, subfields.
