Select-options for date field.

Hi all,
i need to give select options for Date field.How can i give that.
Thanks & Regards
Ravi.

Hi Ravi,
Use the Component WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS to include select options in Web Dynpro ABAP. Follow these steps:
1. In your Component , "Used Componet" tab add Component WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS . Component Use can be any name that you want to give, eg SELECT_OPTIONS
2. Go to the View where you want to include the Date Select Options. I am assuming that you already have an Attribute of Type DATS in your context.
3. View: Properties Tab:Create Controller Usage and select
SELECT_OPTIONS WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS
SELECT_OPTIONS WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS INTERFACECONTROLLER
4. View Layout Tab:Include a View Container. In this view container we will show the Date Select Options.
5. View Attributes Tab: Create Following two attributes:
M_HANDLER type IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS
M_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS type IWCI_WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS
6: View Methods Tab: Create a method eg CREATE_SELECTION_SCREEN. Call this method in the WDDOINIT of the view.
7:CREATE_SELECTION_SCREEN: Write following Code:
* Data Declaration
data:
 lt_range_table TYPE REF TO DATA.
data:
 lr_componentcontroller TYPE REF TO IG_COMPONENTCONTROLLER,
 lr_componentusage TYPE REF TO IF_WD_COMPONENT_USAGE.
* Execution
* Create Used Component
lr_componentusage = wd_this->wd_cpuse_select_options( ).
if LR_COMPONENTUSAGE->HAS_ACTIVE_COMPONENT( ) is initial.
 lr_componentusage->create_component( ).
endif.
* Get pointer to interface controller of select options
wd_this->M_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS = wd_this->wd_cpifc_select_options( ).
* initialize selction screen
wd_this->M_HANDLER = wd_this->M_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS->init_selection_screen( ).
* Create Range Table for: Date
CALL METHOD WD_THIS->M_HANDLER->CREATE_RANGE_TABLE
 EXPORTING
 I_TYPENAME = 'DATS'
 RECEIVING
 RT_RANGE_TABLE = lt_range_table.

How to set a date range for date field ?

Dear Experts,
Scenario:
I have a query in validating the date field in my BSP application. My application is for maintain infotype 0023 Other/Previous Employers online by employees in the company.
As per our design we are maintaining the all employment details of the employee both ( with in the current company / previous employment outside the company) in the same infotype.
Every employee will have a hiring date within the SAP HR system. We consider this date as the cutoff date between current and previous employment in our application. When the employee updating the details wia BSP page I need to check the following.
Record inside current company: Validation that, the user should only able to enter BEGIN DATE (BEGDA) greater than or equal HIRING DATE and END DATE(ENDDA) should be greater than FROM DATE (BEGDA).
Record outside current Company: Validation that, the user should only able to enter BEGIN DATE (BEGDA) less than or equal HIRING DATE and END DATE (ENDDA) should be greater than FROM DATE (BEGDA) and less than HIRING DATE.
Technical Requirement:
How to set a date range for date field, i.e. how we can limit the date range in a HTMLB date field? Can this it be achieved via standard functionality of HTMLB?
Following is the code to describe date field in my application.
 <htmlb:inputField id= "ENDDA_NEW_IN"
 type= "date"
 doValidate= "TRUE"
 showHelp= "TRUE"
 disabled= "FALSE"
 width= "183"
 style= "cssTextAreadate"
 value= "<%='99991231'%>"/>
Thanks a lot in advance for your assistance and help.

<<Don't answer questions that break the rules. Date questions are not permitted>>
Hi,
 Instead you can take the entire range for that particular year.
r_erdat-sign = 'I'.
r_erda-option = 'BT'.
r_erdat-low = '20090101'. <- begin date
r_erdat-high = '20091231'. <- end date
append r_erdat.

Mandatory for Visable field but not for hidden field

Hi All,
I have a couple of radio buttons (Yes and No) when the user selects Yes they are then prompted for the date this happend.
How can i make the Date field mandatory if they select yes but not if they select no. I have tried making the date field mandatory but it throughs the obvious error if it is hidden.

Hi George, thanks for your reply.
The way i hide and show the date box at the moment is by using the Show/Hide field action under the properties of the radio buttons.
Thx

SQL Query for Date field updation

I want a query from u.. Hope u help me with a
solution soon..
My Q: I want to update a date field in Oracle
database. But the condition is that i shouldnt change
the hours, minutes & seconds of the date field.
generally , if we update the date field then it takes
the default values for hours, min's & sec's to
00:00:00.
EX : if we have a value 21-SEP-2002 04:54:44 in a date
field. I want to update it to 22-SEP-2002 04:54:44.
But it updates to 22-sep-2002 00:00:00 if we use
UPDATE command.

Use a PreparedStatement:
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM TEMP WHERE TDATE > ? AND TDATE < ?");
// note: month numbers start at 0, so 1 is february
GregorianCalendar c1 = new GregorianCalendar(2002, 1, 11, 11, 0);
GregorianCalendar c2 = new GregorianCalendar(2002, 1, 18, 22, 0);
Date d1 = c1.getTime();
Date d2 = c2.getTime();
java.sql.Timestamp sqlDate1 = new java.sql.Timestamp(d1.getTime());
java.sql.Timestamp sqlDate2 = new java.sql.Timestamp(d2.getTime());
ps.setTimestamp(1, sqlDate1);
ps.setTimestamp(2, sqlDate2);
ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
// get results from the result setJesper

F4 help for Date field and Validation

Hi Friends,
I am new to BSP programming .I knew getting F4 help in normal ABAP.But i don't know in BSP .
I want simple steps to get F4 for a field on Page as well as date field .
and How to valid those entered dates.
Presently i am using length 10 character variable for DATE without F4 help and No validation.
I think you guys will help me out.
Thanks,
Venkat.O

Welcome to SDN.
for F4 help with validation for dates you can use the following code.
<htmlb:inputField id = "wf_ad_date"
 type = "date"
 showHelp = "TRUE"
 value = "<%= sy-datum %>"
 visible = "true"
 disabled = "false"
 required = "true"
 maxlength = "10"
 size = "10"
 doValidate = "true"
 design = "standard" />
For other type of fields check out this weblog by Thomas Jung

F4 help for date field in ITS

hi all;
I was working on ESS Leave Request, i am using the standard program SAPMWS20000081H and the service template WS20000081.
Now in the EP view i am unable to get the F4 help for the date field 'Absence From' & 'Absence To'. i have checked the data element used it is 'DATS'.
How to get the F4 help in the view, please help me its of high priority.

Hi, I can tell you what we have done. I can see that the original template displays the "Absence from" field this way :
<tr> <td>`SAP_TemplateEditableField("FromDay", fieldLabel=ABSENCEFROM030150.label, fieldLabelWidth="170", name="ABSENCEFROM030150", value=ABSENCEFROM030150, size="10", maxlength="10", marginTop=9, inspectionText=ABSENCEFROMDAY, align="",
required="", width="", onchange="update_checkn(this.SAP_value, this)" )` </td>
</tr>
We modified the template to display it like this :
<tr><td> `SAP_Field("ABSENCEFROM030150","ABSENCEFROM030150", DynproLabelWidth="170")` </td></tr>
We did the same for ABSENCETO040150. So you can play around with the template to generate the F4 button. ( Note that we also added the ~webgui parameter in the service file and set it to 1, this in order to generate the calendar ). Good luck !

How to display this 2 character for date field ( \ \ )

hi friends
it's possible to display the character format in text field after you run the form
plz I need your help
thanks

Hello,
So you mean for the date field you want to show slashes by default. I don't think that forms will support this type of things.
BTW may i know what is the purpose to show like this?
If you use the normal format which is DD/MM/RRRR it will add the slashes automatically. When user will enter date like this 01012010.
