ABAP report date format

Hello friends,
In my report I have to display the details of the selection screen.
I am having some problem with the date format
HOwever when the user changes the settings in the user profile the data
format on the report should display as what the user profile settings are.
for EG -
if the user has the settings as YYYY-MM-DD
the output should be 2007-12-11.
If the user changes the date format as MM/DD/YYYY
the output should be 12/11/2007.
Any suggestions.

Hi,
Check this FM DATUMSAUFBEREITUNG
I think you can also just use write statement to get the Date format as in User Profile.

XML Publisher to Excel Report : Date format problem

Hi,
I am trying to create an Excel report with XML Publisher. I have an issue with the Date Fomatting.
In the XML template, I have set the "Date" column in date format. But the excel output report "Date" column returns as "General text" (string) and it is sorted as text, not as date.
Can anyone please help me out?
Thanks!!!

Hi,
Did this post solve your problem? I have the same issue that I need to solve.
I have an xsl-fo template with dates in it.
The dates are in english.
My excel is setup to use danish.
When I export to excel it knows the month jan, feb, mar, apr, ... which are the same in danish and english.
But months where it differs like may (danish maj) the cell is a general text instead of date.
Is there anyway you can set/transform the date in the xsl-fo template so it does not care about the language in excel?
Thank you in advance.

Thanks,
Pallavi Pande.

Hi,
Is the requirement to change the date format for one date (text item) or to change it in the table item.
1. Text Item
Use a div tag for the text item and give it an id which can be used in the javascript function.
On body load call a javascript function and change the format of the innertext of the div tag as if 1 then Jan, 2 then Feb etc..
2. If used in Table item.
Then you can the entire contents of the date by using the Table interface class by adding the approproate code in the Characteristics Cell/Attribute Cell method.
Hope this answers.
Thanks

Interactive Report - Date Format

Hi,
I created an interaticve report, in which one of the column is date picker data type. However, it's not showing the hour and minutes even though I chose the "DD-MON-YYYY HH:MIPM" format mask.
Does any one know why this it? Thank you very much for the help!

Hi Chris,
I tried to replicate this, but could not. Now granted, I tried this using the new "modern" method of controlling the default application date format via the new application Globalization attribute "Application Date Format". I set the Application Date Format to fmMM/DD/fmYY and my IR on EMP worked just fine.
If you can replicate this on apex.oracle.com (using Application Date Format), I'd be happy to take a look at it.

Report Date formatting

We are using the Add Command feature to use queries to provide data to our reports. The date parameters from the query are then set in Crystal to datatype DATE. When setting up the parameter in the Designer, todayu2019s date appears in the default dialog box. However, if we leave that date, it stays the same when the report is run. In other words, if I build the parameter on Monday and leave Mondayu2019s date in the default box, when I run the report on Wednesday, the default date displayed will still be Mondayu2019s date.
How can I get the date parameter to default to the current date? My user would like leave the parameter alone sometimes (in order to get the current date), and select different date values at other times.

hi Rosanne,
unfortunately there's no way to have this changed automatically.
there is a workaround though...
1) change the default date of the parameter to something like 1888,08,08
2) change your record selection to something like
{yourdatefield} = (if {?your parameter} = date(1888,8,8) then currentdate else {?your parameter})
3) now if the end user doesn't enter a new value for the parameter the report will use the current date.
cheers,
jamie

ABAP Report - Landscape format

I need to change the report display to landscape. Right now the report gets cut off at 178 characters. How do I allow for more than 178 characters, horizontally? Also, how can I ensure that the report prints in landscape format? I used FM GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS to set the print format to landscape but it still cuts off at 178 characters, with room for more.

Hi,
You need to specify Line size and Line count at statement "REPORT ZNAME".
Check below code, this report will have 60 rows and 220 columns.
REPORT ZNAME LINE-SIZE 220 LINE-COUNT 60 NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.
More Information:
... LINE-SIZE width
Effect
This addition specifies the line width of the basic list and details list of the program to width characters, and sets the system field sy-linsz to this value. The line width determines the number of characters in the line buffer as well as the number of columns in the list displayed. The value width must be a positive numeric literal. The maximum line width is 1,023 characters.
LINE-COUNT page_lines (footer_lines)
Effect
This addition specifies the page length for the basic list of the program to page_lines lines and fills the system field sy-linct with this value. If the LINE-COUNT is not specifed, and if page_lines are less than or equal to 0 or greater than 60,000, then the page length is set internally to 60,000. This setting overwrites the passed value of the like-named LINE-SIZE addition to the statement SUBMIT and can be overwritten during list creation with the like-named LINE-COUNT addition to the statement NEW-PAGE.

Abap report desired format

I am working on a object with attatched details. Is it possible to have this type of format in simple report or alv report....
depending upon input , it will show no months.
Thanks

Hi,
if you really want this, you have to use the WRITE statement
WRITE : (means multi value) / (means new line) XX (position in the column
there is also the option UNDER (to put directly the value in the column of the field you have specified)
regards

Date Format Issue IN BEX REPORT

Hi Experts,
we are working on BW 3.5.
we have a ODS where data is uploaded through flat file and there are 5 to 7 date field all made of Z infoobjects.
So now the user is putting the data for these Date fields as 20110901 = 1st sep2011. but in report its coming as 09/01/2011
when i checked all the Z fields that are created for this date fields have reference character as Date
only one field is character so it is coming correct as given by the user
but rest all are appearing in different format . In ODS also the date is coming as 09/01/2011
now the user want all the data to be in the same format as given by HIM.
I cant even change the properties of these Z info object removing the reference info object 0Date and make them character string.
so now please suggest how to upload the date given by the user as it is without changing the format and also how to change the format for the back data as its flat file so No data can be deleted.
thankkkkkkkks

hello
Bex analyzer is an excel add-in. Date formats are based on your regional settings.
If you want to have a different date format in the sap gui then you have to change your user profile in sap system.
Flat file upload needs the date format in a database format (YYYYMMDD).
You can transform the date in the transformation step with rules or with a routine( abap coding).
Thank you

ABAP Report WRITE, how to ouptut long lines without additional formatting?

I am developing a program, which dumps objects as XML and I need to create one big XML file at the end. I would like to start it as a background job and get this XML as spooled output at the end. The problem is that the XMLs come from CALL TRANSFORMATION as one big string without any CR LF and in the report spooled output there are additional "formatting" like header, pages etc.:
#COL0N#COL0H07.12.09 Programm EHFND_GENERATE_BO_DOCU 1
#<bopf_bo><item><KEY>gB4L/AeoHd6tl1YoR5AdIg==</KEY><PARENT_KEY/><ROOT_KEY>gB4L/A

|#<bopf_bo><item><KEY>gCFaXDIYHe60jgYnuB9agQ==</KEY><PARENT_KEY/><ROOT_KEY>gCFaXD
Is it possble to make the WRITE statement automatically insert CR LF so I do not loose the XML data and also do not output
any additional symbols? My purpose is to get clean XML data at the end, which can be e.g. directly loaded into explorer.
I already have a solution which fills a DB table with all XMLs and finaly I create the file with cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download but I would like to have a simplier solution using only the abap report output.
Edited by: Rob Burbank on Dec 8, 2009 10:56 AM

Better option would be writing this XML string to File on the application server using OPEN DATASET ... TRANSFER .... CLOSE DATASET. You can give the provision in the same program to download this application server file to Presentation.

Hi All,
I have a requirement to change the existing abap report in which teh output is dispalyed in classical list format.
I want to convert this list report output into ALV format.
COuld anyone please help me how to convert this from Classical list to ALV format?
Thanks,
Komal.
Moderator message: sorry, this not the place to teach the basics, please search for available information. If you understand the classical list and how to use ALV, then you can also do the transfer yourself.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Aug 12, 2011 4:44 PM

This will be very difficult for you.....
Since you are getting a time out error....it looks like, you are runnning this report in foreground....................
Try running it in background it will work...
ELSE....you have to fetch in small chunks....but the question is how will you do it. Since the USR02 only has BNAME as primary key...
Either put the BNAME as part of selection screen and fetch the data.....it will solve your problem....
Only fetch for those BNAME which is entered in the selection screen...
Hope it helps!
