Urgent ......regarding date format in SAP Script

[Former Member]

In my MAIN WINDOW I have date fields like Date of Manifacture, created date and Expiry date.

So, currently I am using SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM' and it is printing same format for all fields.

But now my requirement is I want to show date for Expiry Date like 'YYYY-MM-DD'. For this I defined one temparary variable in the form like below

DEFINE &outdate& = &mchar-vfdat&

SET &outdate& MASK = 'YYYY-MM-DD'.

but still it is showing format YYYY-MM...

Plz help me how to print my desired date format...

I am waiting for ur reply...

Hi

Try to check the value in &mchar-vfdat&, I believe the format date is changed before moving it to the new variable &outdate&.

Try to use this command:

SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM-DD'.

DEFINE &outdate& = &mchar-vfdat&.

&outdate&

SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM''.

Hi Kishore kumar,

What you can do is befor printing the Expiry date set the date Mask as 'YYYY-MM-DD' and after printing your Expiry Date again set the DATE MASK to 'YYYY-MM'

i.e.

/: SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM-DD'
   &mchar-vfdat&
/: SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM'

Hi,

Declare temporary variable with 10 chars and check

data: v_date(10).
