Spliting user entered date range into u201CFrom Date u201C and u201C To dateu201D-user exit

Question

Hi,
In the query i have a created a popup variable for date range for which the processing type is customer exit. When the user exceutes the query he gets the popup for the date range with the default values. The default values are set one month backward.
For example: if today is 5/19/2008, then the popup date range shows 4/19/2008 to 5/19/2008.
Already there is an user exit written for the same.
Now the requirement is i need to split From date and to date entered by user and use them in seperate selections to restrict the keyfigure in the keyfigure column of the query.
Can anyone throw a light on this, how to go about?
Shall i need to create two different variables from date and two date and populate the values, if yes how can i do that ?
Thanks,
Rani.

Hello Rani,
                 Check this code,
var1 is already existing variable with values from date and to date values.
ztest1 is the first customer exit single variable,
ztest2 is the second customer exit variable.
ztest1 and ztest2 you can use these variables in the restricted keyfigures which you have mentioned.
when 'ztest1'.
    if i_step = 2. "after the popup
      loop at i_t_var_range into loc_var_range
      where vnam = 'var1'.
        clear l_s_range.
        l_s_range-low = loc_var_range-low.
        l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
        l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
        append l_s_range to e_t_range.
        exit.
      endloop.
    endif.
when 'ztest2'.
    if i_step = 2. "after the popup
      loop at i_t_var_range into loc_var_range
      where vnam = 'var1'.
        clear l_s_range.
        l_s_range-low = loc_var_range-high.
        l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
        l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
        append l_s_range to e_t_range.
        exit.
      endloop.
    endif.
hope it helps,
