Smartforms - Date Formatting......

[Former Member]

Guyz,

i'm having a variable invoice date in vbrk-fkdat variable which I need to print in DD MMMM YYYY format i.e. 17 July 2006

In SAP Scripts we can set date mask as SET DATE MASK = 'DD MMMM YYYY'.....can anybody tell me it's equivalent in smartforms pls ?

I do not want to send another variable to smartforms where driver program formats like this string.....

Thanks

I think we cannot format it like that. We can do one thing instead of passing it through the parameters do the formatting inside the form using program lines.

Hi,

You can write this in code, where ever you want just write the code in that window,

use FM MONTH_NAMES_GET to get the month name,just write the simple code, you will get the Date format as you want

Hi Sreedhar,

The SET DATE MASK is not available in Smartforms. You have to concatenate in a variable in a variable and display it.
