Converting date

Hi all.
I need to convert date type dd.mm.yyyy into dd month yyyy, e.g. 07.09.2000 into 7 september 2000
Is there any function module for this operation?
TIA, Nikolai

another option.. Crude but it works.
DATA:
out(30),
month(15),
it_month LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF month.
DATA ldate(20).
month = 'Janurary'. APPEND month TO it_month.
month = 'Feburary'. APPEND month TO it_month.
month = 'March'. APPEND month TO it_month.
month = 'April'. APPEND month TO it_month.
month = 'May'. APPEND month TO it_month.
month = 'June'. APPEND month TO it_month.
month = 'July'. APPEND month TO it_month.
month = 'August'. APPEND month TO it_month.
month = 'September'. APPEND month TO it_month.
month = 'October'. APPEND month TO it_month.
month = 'November'. APPEND month TO it_month.
month = 'December'. APPEND month TO it_month.
READ TABLE it_month INTO month INDEX sy-datum+4(2).
CONCATENATE sy-datum+6(2) month sy-datum(4) INTO out
SEPARATED BY space.
WRITE:/ out.
*" or
DATA:
indate(10).
indate = '07.09.2000'.
READ TABLE it_month INTO month INDEX indate+0(2).
CONCATENATE indate+3(2) month indate+6(4) INTO out
SEPARATED BY space.

What is the best way to load and convert data from a flat file?

Hi,
I want to load data from a flat file, convert dates, numbers and some fields with custom logic (e.g. 0,1 into N,Y) to the correct format.
The rows where all to_number, to_date and custom conversions succeed should go into table STG_OK. If some conversion fails (due to an illegal format in the flat file), those rows (where the conversion raises some exception) should go into table STG_ERR.
What is the best and easiest way to archive this?
Thanks,
Carsten.

Hi,
thanks for your answers so far!
I gave them a thought and came up with two different alternatives:
Alternative 1
I load the data from the flat file into a staging table using sqlldr. I convert the data to the target format using sqlldr expressions.
The columns of the staging table have the target format (date, number).
The rows that cannot be loaded go into a bad file. I manually load the data from the bad file (without any conversion) into the error table.
Alternative 2
The columns of the staging table are all of type varchar2 regardless of the target format.
I define data rules for all columns that require a later conversion.
I load the data from the flat file into the staging table using external table or sqlldr without any data conversion.
The rows that cannot be loaded go automatically into the error table.
When I read the data from the staging table, I can safely convert it since it is already checked by the rules.
What I dislike in alternative 1 is that I manually have to create a second file and a second mapping (ok, I can automate this using OMB*Plus).
Further, I would prefer using expressions in the mapping for converting the data.
What I dislike in alternative 2 is that I have to create a data rule and a conversion expression and then keep the data rule and the conversion expression in sync (in case of changes of the file format).
I also would prefer to have the data in the staging table in the target format. Well, I might load it into a second staging table with columns having the target format. But that's another mapping and a lot of i/o.
As far as I know I need the data quality option for using data rules, is that true?
Is there another alternative without any of these drawbacks?
Otherwise I think I will go for alternative 1.
Thanks,
Carsten.

Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric 'witholding tax' (OWHT)

Hi Guys.
After I have upgraded my clients 2007 PL 30 database to 8.81 PL05, and running a repair to fix inconsistincies, I am receiveing some error when opening any sales documents.
It takes place when I open a sales document, or browse previous docs. When browsing previous docs, it onlly happens on some of them.
I also receive a different error when viewing sales orders: Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric (CRD2).
Any ideas how to fix it?
It does not limit me from processing and using the rest of the functionality. All calculations with queries in the docs are still working.
Thanks.

How can I convert date in FOX (from DEC to date[DEC])

Hi everyone!
In my planning layout I have a field called "MYDATE" of the date-type "DEC: Calculation or amount field with comma and +/- sign" (-> BPS does not allow using DATS as date-type).
Since I import that date from a different system, I have to use a temporary workaround field "WADATE" (WorkaroundDate) of type DEC (alternatively integer or float) which contains the date in a format YYYYMMDD (e.g. 20070604).
How can I transfer the date from WADATE to MYDATE? I tried using FOX, but for some reason it does not work. When I use the following function, MYDATE remains empty:
DATA TMPDATE TYPE F.
DATA MYPROJECTS TYPE B906_PROJ.
FOREACH MYPROJECTS.
"MYDATE" is the field I want my date in
"WADATE" is my workaround field that contains the date
TMPDATE = {WADATE,000,0000000001,0000000001,001}.
BREAK-POINT.
{MYDATE,000,0000000001,0000000001,001} = TMPDATE.
ENDFOR.
Is it possible to solve my problem with FOX? Or do I have to work with an EXIT function?
Best regards, Daniel

Daniel,
The better approach is the one Marc said but if you have tomake a work around work, I think you might need to try and define your temporary date variable as String and another for the converted date as of type of the final date. I would not define any date type as float unless you can have part days and it is very important to have part days, integer might work by I would try String first myself.
It has been a while but on a BW 3.5 project I had to do some manipulation to read the attribute value of material master data to get the launch date and use it to derive the start period (definited as type 0FISCPER) and proportion of month based on number of days remaining after launch date vs the # of days for the month. I think I used string type function in FOX to derive some of the component...
Hope this helps,
mary

Saving result from sp_executesql into a variable and using dynamic column name - getting error "Error converting data type varchar to numeric"

Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for:
https://www.simple-talk.com/books/sql-books/119-sql-code-smells/
>> I need to select from a dynamic column name and save the result in a variable, but seem to be having trouble with the values being fed to sp_executesql <<
This is so very, very wrong! A column is an attribute of an entity. The idea that you are so screwed up that you have no idea if you want
the shoe size, the phone number or something else at run time of this entity.
In Software Engineering we have a principle called cohesion that says a model should do one and only one task, have one and only one entry point, and one and only one exit point.
Hey, on a scale from 1 to 10, what color is your favorite letter of the alphabet? Yes, your mindset is that level of sillyity and absurdity.
Do you know that SQL is a declarative language? This family of languages does not use local variables!
Now think about “month_val” and what it means. A month is a temporal unit of measurement, so this is as silly as saying “liter_val” in your code. Why did you use “sp_” on a procedure? It has special meaning in T-SQL.
Think about how silly this is:
SET @month_val = 'Month' + CAST(@month_nbr AS VARCHAR(2));
We do not do display formatting in a query. This is a violation of at the tiered architecture principle. We have a presentation layer. But more than that, the INTERVAL temporal data type is a {year-month} and never just a month. This is fundamental.
We need to see the DDL so we can re-write this mess. Want to fix it or not?

I'm trying running a query in Microsoft Query but it gives the following error message:

Hi,
The above error appears due to date format is differnt from SAP query generator and SQL server.
So you need convert all date in above query to SQL server required format.
Try to convert..let me know if not possible.

Crystal Data Conversion Issue (Error converting data type varchar to datetime)

Hi,
I can run stored procedure without error in SQL Server using my personal credentials as well as database credentials.
I can also run Crystal Report after connecting to Stored procedure without error on my desktop using my personal credentials as well as database credentials.
But when I upload the crystal report in BOBJDEV and when I run using database credentials report fails saying that "Error in File ~tmp1d1480b8e70fd90.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 18456 ]" but I can run the crystal report successfully on BOBJDEV using my personal credentials.
I googled (Data Conversion Error Message) about this issue & lot of people asked to do "Verify Database" in Crystal Report. So I did that, but when I do it I am getting a error message like this:
Error converting data type varchar to datetime.
Where do you think the error might be occurring? Did anyone faced this kind of issue before? If so, how to resolve it?
(FYI, I am using Crystal Reports 2008, & for stored procedure I have used SSMS 2012 )
Please help me with this issue.
Thanks & Regards.
Naveen.

hello Naveen,
since the report works fine in the cr designer / desktop, we need to figure out where you should post this question.
by bobjdev do you mean businessobjects enterprise or crystal reports server? if so please post this question to the bi platform space.

Convert data in the text file to table in DBL

Hi guys
I wanted to convert data in text file which are in multiple rows and columns in DBL format to a table to b seen in labview as DBL format.
I had tried looking and working at the example but in vain , i just cant produce anything
pls help. or write me a short example..thanks

Are you dealing with a table or an array. For an array, just use the Read spreadsheet file from the File I/O palette.
For a table, you will have to convert the number to a string and setting the appropriate precision and width, then write the 2-D string array to the table.

Syntax error while doing Convert data in LSMW

Hi experts,
      I am using direct input method for uploading customer master records. After display read data step, when i click Convert data button, i get a runtime error saying that:
      the data object "LEGACY_CUSTOMER_MASTER" has no component called "OLD_CUST_NO", but there is a component called "SAP_CUST_NO".
    But actually we do not need OLD_CUST_NO field, so i did not include it while maintaining source fields. Someone plz help. I urgently need to resolve this.
Thanks.

Hi ,
I think you have declared the filed old_cust_no in the maintain field mapping step may be in global declaration or in the mapping section of hte field. Without the use of filed OLD_CUST_NO you wont get the syntax error. Check the sysntax error in field mapping step and delete the unwanted field.Check the filed mapping section carefully based on the error.
Thanks.

You can search the forums for that error message and find previous discussions - they all boil down to the same problem. Somewhere in your query that calls this function, the code invoked implicitly converts from string to date/datetime. In general,
this works in any version of sql server if the runtime settings are correct for the format of the string data. The fact that it works in one server and not in another server suggests that the query executes with different settings - and I'll assume for
the moment that the format of the data involved in this conversion is consistent within the database/resultset and consistent between the 2 servers.
I suggest you read Tibor's guide to the datetime datatype (via the link to his site below) first - then go find the actual code that performs this conversion. It may not be in the function you posted, since that function also executes other functions.
You also did not post the query that calls this function, so this function may not, in fact, be the source of the problem at all.

How to Convert Date (DD.MM.YYYY) to be just DD

Hi experts,
I have no idea how to convert Date format (DDMMYYYY) to be just DD.
Example:
I have date: 31.10.2009
now i just want to show in report as 31.
I just known if we just want to show month only, we could use the 0CALMONTH2. but how if i need the day only?
Are there any way, either in query (BEx) or modeling (Routine/Formula in Update Rules or Transfer Rules) which could fulfill the requirement?
Many thanks..
Warm Regards,
Tika

How to convert date format(mm/dd/yy) into dd-mm-yy

I want to convert date format(mm/dd/yy) into dd-mm-yy
like 12/23/06 into 23-sep-06

hey, you can use SimpleDateFormat to format your date. this is sample code, maybe could help you.
class dateFormat
     public static void main(String[] args)
          Date now = new Date();
          System.out.println("Before format : "+now);
          SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat( "dd-MM-yy" );//Change your date format in here.
          String display = sdf.format(now);
          System.out.println("After format : "+display);
}If you already understand about my sample code, i think it's easy to make your own date format. Just modified few line of my code.
