JSON Date Format

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a Gateway service with some date fields (ABAP datatype DATS converted to Edm.DateTime or Edm.DateTimeOffset).

When service is called with output format JSON, date values are represented in MicrosoftDateFormat format (e.g. "/Date(1448841600000)/").

In contrary, when output format is XML, dates are in ISO-8601 format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD (e.g. 1997-07-16T19:20:30+01:00).

Is there any way to change the JSON date format, either in field level or system level?

Hi Shai

The way we did was to do an ABAP coding and then based on the date being recieved using Fm to convert the date to the dd/mm/yyyy format by using concatenate statement and passing to a new variable and then sending it to UI layer
