validations with date(Adding zero's)

[Former Member]

Hi,

can anyone tell me regarding this:

if the date is 5/5/2008 - the output should be 05/05/2008, means 0 should be concatenated in month and date.

else if date is 5/12/2008 - the output should be 05/12/2008

means 0 should be concatenated only in front of 5.

please help.

Hello.

Don't use concatenate. Do like this:

DATA: l_date TYPE char10.

WRITE sy-datum TO l_date DD/MM/YYYY.

i need to use concatenate as there are 4 fields with date and with different date format.

Hello.

Put here your code here for us to help.

However, you can use variables like var(2) TYPE N to store them always as 01, 02, ... it's another way.

Hi,

You can declare the variable of type sy-datum, adding leading zero will automatically taken care by the system.

Hi,

I cant get your requirement clearly. Anyway I give you some solution below:

1. Declare the variable of TYPE SY-DATUM, so that automatically concatenate zero in front.

OR

2. You need to declare one variable as STRING and assign the input date to the string and split it at '/' then store date and month in two other variables and check those two variables are less than 10. If so then concatenate '0' in front else leave as it and finally concatenate as per your requirement.
