BDC date field should be blank

I am creating a bdc - the date field should be blank.
My logic is if input-field ne '0'.
if w_ausbs ne '00000000'.
      PERFORM bdc_field    USING 'VIQMEL-AUSBS' w_ausbs.
   else.
      PERFORM bdc_field    USING 'VIQMEL-AUSBS' ' '.
   endif.
Initially i just tried
if w_ausbs ne '00000000'.
      PERFORM bdc_field    USING 'VIQMEL-AUSBS' w_ausbs.
endif.
However, the field still gets populated with '00000000' which casues an error since it should be blank. Able to create manually without entering a value in this field so it is not mandatory.
Any ideas on how to get this field to be left blank.
Thanks,
Jill

Hi Jill,
1. U want the date field to be blank.
a) make sure it is not compulsory
b) secondly, make sure, default value
   does not come up when entering
   data in the tcode
2. If this is so , then
   how is ur w_ausbs defined ?
   a) it should be c(8)
(so that 0000000 does not come,
spaces come !)
and specificlally passit
using
PERFORM bdc_field USING 'VIQMEL-AUSBS' w_ausbs. <---
regards,

Complaint qty and Ref Quantity field should be Blank in QM01

Hi Gurus,
When using QM01 the quantities shown in Complaint qty and Ref Quantity are from the Production Order.These fields should be shown as Zero in order to not to confuse the data entry personnel, by mistake they are leaving the fields with the same Qty from the production order as they are shown and the scrap is captured with this quantities.
For example, the quantity to scrap will be 20,000, when it was indicated just to scrap 1,000, but the data entry person did not overwrite the quantity to 1,000 from 20000. Is there any way in standard SAP to make the Complaint qty and Ref Quantity blank, so that the user can fill it manually.

Wanted to know if there was ever a resolution to this question. I need a solution for the same thing. We do not want the complaint quantity of a QM notification to default to the order quantity. We need the inspector to fill in this quantity.

Date field should be different

Hi
Iam creating an application in web dynpro.In that labels "From Date" and "To Date" labels are present.
In that i created Context of type "Date".
I written code like this.
Date date=new Date();
        java.sql.Date today=new java.sql.Date(date.getTime());
        wdContext.currentTimelogElement().setFromDate(today);
        wdContext.currentTimelogElement().setToDate(today);
While writing like this,its showing todayDate as "From Date " and "To Date ".
I want both the Dates should be different.
Suppose "From Date-06/02/2009" "To Date---10/02/2009" or
               From Date-01/02/2009" "To Date---06/02/2009"
For that what are the modifications i have to do in the Code.
Regards
Sushma

Hi Sushma,
Create 2 Date instances for 'FromDate' & 'ToDate' with required values & set them.
Example:
java.sql.Date fromDate = new java.sql.Date(109, 1, 1); // This is 1st Feb, 2009
wdContext.currentTimelogElement().setFromDate(fromDate);
Similarly, java.sql.Date toDate = new java.sql.Date(109, 1, 6); // This is 6th Feb, 2009
wdContext.currentTimelogElement().setToDate(toDate);
For details, refer http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/sql/Date.html
Hope this answers your query.

Date field to be set blank--Urgent --Please help

Hi All,
   We are running on SRM 4.0(classic scenario).On the SC screen,there is a date field called "Required on".By default this field is getting populated with the system date.
Now my reqt is that when the SC screen appears,i want this date field to be blank(not carry the system date)..The user will change the date whcih will flow to the next screen(Item level data-->std functionality)....
   I tried implementing this using the BADI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI....but with this BADI,the date field can be changed to blank at the next screen..not at the first screen where this field gets populated by deafult with the system date where I want...
   In addition to this with this BADI,when i reset the field value to blank on the2nd(next ) screen,i get an error message(stating that the date field value is not carried over)...
Can anyone tel me how this date field is getting populated and how i can set this value to blank when the SC screen appears???Please help..
Thanks & regards,
Disha.

Hi Disha,
second message is normal: this is the std check on delivery date (here it is initial because of your mods).
first one semas to be related to the WF.
It could be deactivated via usual message control in SPRO.
1> I don't know this message
2> message BBP_PD 584 or 587
If you set this field as mandatory in the HTML template, maybe it would force the user to populate it before sending it to SRM SC item.

Syclo - Clearing/Unsetting Date fields

Hi All,
I'm having some trouble with clearing a date field. I need to have the option of setting a date field back to blank if the user request so.
I've tried to create a transaction where the date is a string property and set the date as blank. When running the application, clearing the date field results in the error message <Date> field is required and I'm not able to clear the field.
Thanks in advance for any hints on how to clear a date field.
Thanks!

Jason,
You cannot really clear a date field on screen by design. There is a concept of a special value in Agentry that gives you more flexibility. You could experiment with a special value tied to your date screen field. This should put a check box next to the date and allow you to turn it on/off allowing you to finish the transaction without setting it. I don't believe this will unset a value that has been previously saved, so this may not work for you. I have noticed that date special values seem broken in the latest clients anyway.
You could add your own check box next to the date and enable/disable the date based on whether the check box is checked or not.
You are working with MyObject and have a data field called MyDate. Create a Date field in the MainObject called DummyDate. This is the equivalent of a blank date since there is no data in it. In your transaction, your final date field is called DateFinal and ties to MyDate in the object. Create another Date property called DateScreen. Point your screen field to DateScreen. DateScreen transaction property initial value should be "From another object". Set it to MyObject -> MyDate field. DateFinal transaction property initial value is "Rule after data entry". The rule should check whether your date check box is checked or not. If checked, use the transaction value from DateScreen since this is the date the user entered on screen. If not checked, use MainObject ->DummyDate. Using DummyDate will set the date back to empty.

Click event to add (or subtract) a day to a date field

I have a form that is giving me a little trouble. I want to be able to input a start date in one field, then input a number of days in another field, and then have it calculate a date that is that number of days away from the start date. The form is actually working ok for the most part, but there are a couple of issues I'm having.
1. The end date is not calculating immediately upon exiting the number of days field. You have to tab all the way back to the start date and only when you exit that field does it calculate the end date. I need it to calculate when you exit the number of days field.
2. I have added a little (+) and (-) button to be able to increase or decrease the date by one day. This works, but the problem is, I want to do this in the background. Meaning, I want the calculated date to change, but the # of days field to not change.
So say I enter 12/1/2010 in the start date. Then I enter 1 in the # of days field. When I tab to the Calculated date field, it should immediately change to 12/2/2010. Then, if I click (+), the Calculated date field should go up to 12/3/2010, but the # of days field should stay at 1.
I've uploaded a sample of what I have figured out so far here:
https://acrobat.com/#d=v4c4KKdj0hesicxO8yO1pw
Thanks so much for any help I can get on this!
Jo

I think this is what you are after. I moved the logic to the calculate event of the target date and added a numeric field to hold the result of adding/subtracting (called 'delta').
// form1.#subform[0].date2::calculate - (FormCalc, client)
var date1 = Date2Num(date1.formattedValue,"MM/DD/YYYY")
$.rawValue = Num2Date(date1+days+delta,"MM/DD/YYYY")
You could make 'delta' hidden.

Add 90 days to a date field.

Hi All,
I have a form page in which i have a field called date. The requirment is like this whenever i come to this form page the date field should 1st check the sysdate and add 13 weeks or 90 days to it and display it there. It should be like this whenever user comes to this page the date field gets loaded like this and display there. Need help to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

But i want this field to be dynamic. This date field is date picker. If i select 15th May from date picker it should populate 14th august. Any suggestions on thisIs this concept of selecting one date and having a completely different one appear going to be clearly understood by users? From a usability/accessibility perspective it may be a better idea to use 2 items, with the initial selection being made in a date picker and the computed value appearing in a separate display/read-only item.

Numeric, date field data to be in English format

My Characterset on 10g AS & 10gdb, NLS_LANG=ARABIC_KUWAIT.AR8MSWIN1256
In my all arabic screen numerical number & date fields are in arabic. Instead all numeric & date fields should be in English. I have tried settting NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256 on Application Server. But no use & also by doing this just runtime application is doing flip,,ie from left to right.
i know I can query using below
TO_CHAR(hiredate, 'DD/MON/YYYY', 'nls_date_language = ENGLISH')
Is there any way of doing that at database level, so that all fields of applicaton of type numeric & date are in english.
thanks

In reports I am getting Numeric & date format in English. But only forms all these are in arabic.

Unicode and Date fields crash the kernel

Hi,
we ran into a bug in the query parser while testing our system with japanese dates, that crashes the kernel when a date/time/timestamp field is compared to a literal that contains a unicode character.
For instance,
select * from dual where now() = '2011年10月12日'
will crash the kernel (7.7 or 7.8)
Normally the date field should be compared only with strings in ISO format, but we fear some wrongly written query will crash our production database.
Is that a known bug and is there a workaround ?
Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,
this is a bug whereas not a known one up to now. We will solve this ASAP and have created an entry in our error database: [1239879|http://maxdb.sap.com/webpts?wptsdetail=yes&ErrorType=0&ErrorID=1239879].
Unfortunately there is no other workaround for this error than not to use UNICODE characters in those queries.
Thank you for reporting.
Best regards,
Steffen
