CONCATENATE date and time into a text variable

Hi ABAP Gurus,
  I would like to retrieve current system date and time and concatenate into a variable. I would really appreciate if someone could help me. I have the following code and i seem to get some kind of error.
I would like my output to be like:
     "22.JUN.2006  Some Text  12:30:22"
Code:
data:  emtext     like TEMSG-EMTEXT.
data:  date_output(50)  TYPE C.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_SDATE_OUTPUT'
       EXPORTING
           INPUT          =  SY-DATUM
       IMPORTING
            OUTPUT        =  date_output.
SHIFT date_output RIGHT DELETING TRAILING SPACE.
  CONCATENATE date_output ': Some Custom Message '
   INTO emtext.
  Also, is there a function to convert time to text or conversion is not necessary?
Thanks.
Regards,
bw_newbie

Here is something a little closer to your requirement.
report zrich_0001 .
data: date(20) type c,
      time(10) type c,
      str type string.
data: xT247 type T247.
select Single * into xt247 from t247
          where MNR = sy-datum+4(2).
concatenate  sy-datum+6(2) xt247-ktx sy-datum(4)
          INTO date separated by '.'.
write sy-uzeit to time.
concatenate date 'SomeText' time into str separated by space.
write:/ str.

  • Inserting Date and Time into a date field

    Okay I am a bit of a Oracle newbie. I am trying to insert the following date and time into a date field and I don't know how to format the second part of the to_Date() function.
    Date/Time: 5/29/2003 7:58:45 PM
    Thanks,
    Branden

    I believe you would want
    to_date( '5/29/2003 7:58:45 PM', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM' )
    Note that tahiti.oracle.com has all of Oracle's documentation, including the very useful SQL & PL/SQL reference manuals, available for free.

  • Combining Date and Time into 1 Field

    CA Forum: Formula
    Hi,
    I'm trying to write a formula to combine 2 fields (date and time) into one. I would like it to look like this.
    2/12/2007 + 12:00pm = 2/12/2007 12:00pm

    CA Forum: Formula
    Thanks that worked but my problem is currently the date field I'm using has a date and time (12/12/2007 12:00am) and the time field has it as well  (12/12/2007 1:45am).  I've been going into crystal and clicked on format field and just showing the date and in the time field, just showing time. Then I would extract the report to excel then run another formula to get it to work. I'm looking to automate it a little. Any ideas??

  • Insert date and time into write to spreadsheet

    Easy question here
    I need save 4 arrays of data and insert the date and time that it was taken (LV 8.6)
    for example
    9/4/09 10:00:01 AM  4  6  7  2
    9/4/09 10:00:02 AM  4  6  7  2

    9/4/09 10:00:04 AM  4  6  7  2
    Any ideas, I can't wire the timestamp or date/time string right into the create array
    Thanks
    Chris
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok
    the basic problem that I see is the the LabVIEW TimeStamp type is a cluster.  Converting it to a dbl gives you a value in seconds elapsed since 1904 Jan 1 12:00AM GMT and, your spreadsheet cannot interprate that (or display that) as a "TIME."   So, you want to convert it to a string (easy TS->String check the help for format options) BUT, you might want to pass all of your data as numbers into your spreadsheet so you can post-calculate or graph other outputs vs. TIME!  This little chunk of code .....
     converts a LV Timestamp to a number that Excel interperates as "the amount of days elapsed since 0 Jan 1900 @ 12:00AM LOCAL."  You will need to format the cell in Excel to display it as a date-time But it can be operated on and graphed against with only Excel's limitations (Excel followed the Lotus bug of erroneously assuming 1900 was a leap year, and Leap seconds are unrecognized)
    Enjoy!

  • Insert current date and time into Oracle date type field

    I have a JDBC current date and time insert into Oracle 9i that almost works. It submits the current date and a fixed time into the Oracle date type field. I am using Tomcat 6.0.20.
    For example if I insert the data at 7:24:04 PM on Feb 16, 2010 it will insert as: 16-Feb-2010 12:00:00 AM
    The date part works but the time always shows 12:00:00 AM no matter what date or time the data is inserted.
    Here is what I have for my JDBC inserts and I also tried something with DateFormat:
    PreparedStatement ps; Date mydate = new Date(new java.util.Date().getTime()); //insert statement here.... stmt.setDate(1,mydate);
    I also tried:
    PreparedStatement ps; java.sql.Timestamp mydate = new java.sql.Timestamp(new java.util.Date().getTime()); SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat(.... //insert statement here.... ps.setTimestamp(1,fmt.format(mydate));
    Both keep submitting the date into Oracle as 16-Feb-2010 12:00:00 AM
    Anyway to get the current date and time? For example if I insert the data at 7:24.04 pm today it should show as 16-Feb-2010 07:24.04 PM in Oracle.

    If you want a date and time then use java.sql.Timestamp.

  • Getting user name, date and time into 1 field

    Hi All,
    I have to add a new field in a customising include of AUFK table. This field should have user name, date and time. How do I store all these values in a single field of the table? Please help.

    Ok Thanks all. Will try your suggestions. But there is one problem. As i have already mentioned that i will have to display this detail in one field of the table control, The format of display is: user name should be seen above and the date and time separated by space should be displayed below the name. How can i ultimately display this in the table control. Do i have to create 2 different fields (one for name and other for date and time) in the AUFK table or is there any other solution?
    Thanks

  • How to concatenate date and time after a logical file in application server

    Hi Experts ,
    I have a requirement that goes like this : I have a job that runs parallelly with 10 different variants at the same time. Each job will write the data into a file in the application server, since the jobs run parallelly there is a chance of the file being over-written and hence we have decided to concatenate time and date at the end of the file so that the file does not get over-written. Can someone please let me know how to incorporate this change.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Balaji.K

    Hi Balaji.
    Use CONCATENATE functionality.
    A sample code snippet for your reference :-
    CONCATENATE  p_path  text-202 c_9 p_name c_9  lv_fcount  c_9  lv_date
                                                 c_9 lv_time  INTO  gv_file.

  • Seperate field containing date and time into two seperate columns

    Hi
    I have a column which contains entries which are in the format date time i.e. 27/10/2005 07:06:09
    however i would like to have these as two seperate columns so the date is in one and the time in another.
    how would i go about doing this in pl/sql?

    im running a query in excel to graph a variable against time, however excel is not storing it correctly so when i try to use string manipulation to put the time on the x axis it's producing a long decimal number instead of the actual time.
    i want to keep it in that format but also have it in two seperate columns. when excel makes the graph it will only read the same date over and over it won't get past the date to see the time changes.

  • How do I enter in a Date and Time into the InputDate tag

    Using the default DataEditComponent.jsp page, I have an entity object with a Date in it. However, when you click on the calendar icon and populate the field with the date you can not add a time. How do you add a time to this field.
    Create Date : 2002-08-23 and I would like to input 2002-08-23 16:30
    Thanks,

    Change your domain type for your entity object to Timestamp. You also need to edit your control hints to use a format that includes the time portion. Once this is done, you will be able to edit\update\display the time portion.

  • Convert Local Date and Time into GMT

    In Oracle how to convert date & time in GMT. Suppose the input will be local date & time e.g. ‘IN’, ‘15/11/2010 15:20:30’ ( country Code, DD/MM/YYYY Hr:Min:Sec in 24hr format) output should be in GMT format.

    I don't think this should be in the OLAP subforum. At least try to look for the correct section before posting next time.
    Apart from that, you can try a combination of the From_Tz and Tz_Offset functions.

    You should user an infoObject/field for tyoe CHAR, length 24. Once you read this, in transfer rules, write an ABAP Code to seperate Data, time and AM, PM. Once you read all the characters from your source, its very simple ABAP to seperate them in Transfer Rules.

  • How to enter a new Date and Time each day in a Numbers Spreadsheet...

    Hi... I have finally decided to move away from Excel and really give Numbers a shot... I have an application where each day I first enter the current date and time into a particular cell of a new row and then I enter some data in cells adjacent (in the same row) as that entered date-time. Then the next day I want to again enter the (new) current date and time and add more data next to that new date-time and so forth day after day... You can't use something as simple as =NOW() because then everyday, ALL of the date-times would change to the current time... Nope, now what I want... I just want to be able to EASILY and QUICKLY enter the current date-time value in one call and then have that specific value stay there forever... In Excel, this is accomplished with the keyboard shortcuts of
    <cntl> followed by a semicolon (;) for the date
    then enter a single space (for separation of date versus time) followed last by
    <command> followed again by a semicolon...
    So all together that is,
    <cntl><;><sp><command><;>
    and that puts something like
    4/10/2010 9:49:00 AM
    in a single cell...
    That's what I now want to be able to do in Numbers...
    How do I do that??? Do I use the menubar item "Insert Date and Time" and if so, how exactly do I get the current time to show up in the chosen cell??? With formatting??? Is there a keyboard shortcut method like the one I mentioned that works for Excel?? I've perused the manual and though I found lots on date-time, I didn't see how to do specifically what I want to do... I likely just missed it as surely it must be easy to do...
    Any feedback would be much appreciated... thanks... bob...

    The result of running that script is "UI Enabled = TRUE".
    I have cells named by the header values.
    This may be the problem.
    The script is an old one which deciphered only the letter+digit cell references.
    Here is a new version which works with every kind of cell reference.
    --[SCRIPT insertDateTime]
    Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : insertDateTime.scpt
    déplacer l'application créée dans le dossier

    Placez le curseur dans la cellule qui doit recevoir la date_heure
    menu Scripts > Numbers > insertDateTime
    La cellule pointée reçoit la date_heure.
    L'aide du Finder explique:
    L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
    Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
    Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
    +++++++
    Save the script as a Script : insertDateTime.scpt
    Move the newly created application into the folder:
    <startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
    Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
    Put the cursor in the cell which must receive the date_time.
    menu Scripts > Numbers > insertDateTime
    The pointed cell receives the current date_time.
    The Finder's Help explains:
    To make the Script menu appear:
    Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
    Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.
