Hi

data :

w_c(2) type c.

w_c = sy-datum+0(2).

Hi,

You should declare a temporary variable & use offset (of 2 characters)

Example:-

data :
w_var(2) type c.

w_var = sy-datum+0(2).
write w_var.

Hi,

Data: w_offset(2) type c.

w_offset = sy-datum+0(2).

Write: w_offset.

Hi,

Chenge then,

Data: w_offset(2) type c.
 
w_offset = sy-datum+6(2).
 
Write: w_offset.

hi,

Use Offset. By using Offset you can extract any number of characters from a string from any position.

You can extract this date part by applying Offset settings.

Date1 type sy-datum.

date(2) type c.

Date = Date1+0(2).

Write:/ Date.

write sy-datum+0(2).

[Former Member]

Hi,

Here you can offset to get the value of your requirment

Syntax 1:

data :
temp(2) type c.

temp = sy-datum+0(2).

Syntax 2:

data :
temp  type string.

temp = sy-datum+0(2).

for detail in offset check

Hi

Data:

w_date(2) type c.

to get the first two character the specify the offset length as 2.

so to get from the starting position specify it as 0.

w_date = sy-datum+0(2).

0--> Postion

2--> length of characters

Hope this would help you.

Good luck

hey copy this program and directly execute.

DATA: DAT LIKE SY-DATUM,

DAT1(2) type c.

DAT = SY-DATUM.

write:/ 'IF U WANT TO DISPLAY DATE '.

dat1 = dat+6(2).

WRITE:DAT1.

write:/ 'IF U WANT TO DISPLAY month '.

DAT1 = DAT+4(2).

WRITE:DAT1.

write:/ 'if u want to display 20 of 2008'.

DAT1 = DAT+0(2).

WRITE:DAT1.

[Former Member]

as others have also said, do it like:

write: sy-datum+6(2). " for day
write: sy-datum+4(2).          " for month
write: sy-datum+2(2).          " for year

With luck,

Pritam.

thanks all.

Hi,

Data : sdat type c.

clear sdat.

sdat = sy-datum+0(2). //it will first 2 character from the date.

// here 0 indicates starting position of the word.

// (2) indicates how many characters from the starting position.

hi..

check out this

DATA: L_DAY(2) TYPE C,

L_MONTH(2) TYPE C,

L_YEAR(4) TYPE C,

L_LTEXT TYPE T247-LTX.

DATA: L_DATE TYPE STRING.

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_IN_GET_DATE_COMPONENTS'

EXPORTING

IDATE = SY-DATUM

IMPORTING

DAY = L_DAY

MONTH = L_MONTH

YEAR = L_YEAR

LTEXT = L_LTEXT

EXCEPTIONS

INPUT_DATE_IS_INITIAL = 1

TEXT_FOR_MONTH_NOT_MAINTAINED = 2

OTHERS = 3.

now choose from this what you want?

Anyone who's used offset, go and read this article about "magic numbers" to understand why they are BAD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_%28programming%29#Unnamed_numerical_constant

The correct way of parsing sy-datum is:

BEGIN OF data_ty,
    yyyy TYPE c length 4,
    mm   TYPE c length 2,
    dd   TYPE c length 2,
END OF data_ty.

DATA: l_mydat TYPE data_ty.

l_mydat = sy-daturm.

WRITE: / l_mydat-dd

This is much more meaningful and obvious than sy-datum+2(6). By using the type formulation, you've explicitly said with the structure of sy-datum is. If it changes (highly unlikely, I know, but it's the principle), then you only have to change the type definition- not potentially a hundred places in your program.
