How to disable conversion routine working when I use SE16?

[former_member207732]

Hi,

When I use SE16 to display content of a table which has a field with "date" type, the value on screen is "MM.DD.YYYY" format because the field has a conversion routine. But I need to see the original value like "YYYYMMDD" which saved in DB. How can I disable the conversion routine working?

Thanks and Best regards,

Long

If the field indeed has a conversion routine then you can disable this in your first screen for selection the data with your personal settings. There is a checkbox for setting this.

In SE16, we can view the data whether in internal format or display format, to toggle format, in display list, go to Setting->User Parameter, in tab strip "Data browser" choose "format, field conversion exit".

Hi,

Thank you for your answer!

But I still for one field type which data element use "predefine type" "DATS", in this case, it will always display formated date type "MM.DD.YYYY". How can I do in this case?

Thanks and Best regards,

you cannot disable conversion exit while displaying sap data on the screen.

but i think your problem is with the date format. you can change this using following menu

system-> user profile -> own data

goto table "Defaults"

there u will find Date format. You can set as per ur requirement.

date format , decimal format and currencies are user setting specific, those type of field have nothing to do with conv. routines as said above change the format in user settings... these changes will be specific to ur user id only.

You can not disable it and display the same as in DB with the pre-defined type DATS, it will take effect even you set the display format in user profile.
