Date format conversion in BRF+

[Former Member]

Hi Expert team,

Can you please provide some thoughts on below issue?

We have a input Time point data element and we are receiving the data in format 20130410. Also refer to attached screen shot.

We need to make a procedure call using date format 04/10/2013 . Is there a way that we can convert the data formats?

Procedure call is to standard FM DAY_ATTRIBUTES_GET  and we can't change the format.

We are are NW 702 SP 12

Thank you

Kris

DAY_ATTRIBUTE_GET also takes the internal format YYYYMMDD. This format is converted to DD/MM/YYYY only in the UI for output purpose.

It is the same as in the timepoint field DATE.

Have you checked the formula? You may find a formula function doing what you need.

Hi Carsten,

You are amazing, thanks for quick reply. Probably we have a lower SAP version, I couldn't find formulae DAY_ATTRIBUTE_GET . Attached is what i see when i search by day and date.

Hi Carsten,

We have debugged the issue and issue doesn't seem to be because of Date format. Its because we have passed dates in inappropriate sequence to

FM DAY_ATTRIBUTES_GET

Thank you
