Selection-screen validation

[Former Member]

Hi all

I have a doubt in the selection-screen validation .

In my selection screen i have a field for date which is of character type (10) . The date formate to be entered should be of 2006/01/25 in the input field .

If the user is giving any other date formate like 2006.01.25 then an error message to be displayed in the selection screen .

Can anyone tell me a smaple code for this senario .

Hi Vignesh,

why don't you use the Date Field directly ?

parameters : NewDate type datum.

hI

YOU HAD DECLARED DATE FIELD AS CHAR SO PUTTING VALIDATION FOR THAT IS TYPICAL

REFER THAT TO DATE FIELD AND YOU DO VALIDATION FOR THAT UNDER AT SELECTIO-SCREEN EVENT

Hi

use the data type for your element as sy-datum.

You wont need to do any validation then

Hi,

DATA : v_cnt1 TYPE i,

v_cnt2 TYPE i VALUE 1.

SELECT-OPTIONS : s_date(10).

AT SELECTION-SCREEN.

DO 10 TIMES.

IF s_date-low+v_cnt1(v_cnt2) EQ '.' .

MESSAGE e001(zzz) WITH TEXT 'Please Enter in yyyy/mm/dd Format.'

ENDIF.

v_cnt1 = v_cnt1 + 1.

ENDDO.

Hi,

if you want date to be in that format then you can do in following way.

Ex:

V_date = '2006\02\11'.

then validate with if conditions.

If V_date+4(1) NE '/' and

V_date+6(1) NE '/'.

Hi,

It is still possible to validate the date format of a select option even when it is string.

Try the following:

data: ch type char10.

data: separator type char4.

data: numbers type char16.

select-options sel1 for ch.

at selection-screen output.

concatenate sel1-low4(1) sel1-low7(1) sel1-high4(1) sel1-high7(1) into separator.

concatenate sel1-low0(4) sel1-low5(2) sel1-low8(2) sel1-high0(4) sel1-high5(2) sel1-high8(2) into numbers.

if ( separator NE '////' ) or ( numbers CN '0123456789' ).

message 'type the date in the format yyyy/dd/mm' type 'I'.

endif.
