Date conversion from mm/dd/yyyy to 'yyyymmdd'

Hi,
I want to convert the 'mm/dd/yyyy' to 'YYYYMMDD'.
l_endlate = '12/17/2006'
gw_flatfile-zzenddate format is 'YYYYMMDD'
The following function module has error. I think the dype is not right. What should I put there?   Or do you have better suggestion?
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERN_FORMAT'
      EXPORTING
        datum = l_enddate
        dtype = 'DATS'
      IMPORTING
        idate = gw_flatfile-zzenddate.
Thanks,
Helen

Hi,
You can use the following code:
*-Local variables-
DATA: lf_length TYPE i,
            ex_date TYPE char10,
            in_date TYPE begda
*-Local constants--
DATA:lc_8 TYPE char1 VALUE '8',
       lc_9 TYPE char1 VALUE '9',
       lc_10 TYPE char2 VALUE '10',
       lc_0 TYPE char1 VALUE '0',
       lc_limit TYPE char1 VALUE '/'.
lf_length = STRLEN( ex_date )."Length of the external date field.
IF NOT ex_date CA lc_limit.
   MESSAGE 'wrong format' TYPE 'E'.
ENDIF.
CASE lf_length.
    WHEN lc_8.
      IF ex_date1(1) EQ lc_limit AND ex_date3(1) EQ lc_limit.
        CONCATENATE ex_date+4(4) lc_0 ex_date(1)
        lc_0 ex_date+2(1) INTO int_date.
      ENDIF.
    WHEN lc_10.
      IF ex_date2(1) EQ lc_limit AND ex_date5(1) EQ lc_limit.
        CONCATENATE ex_date+6(4) ex_date(2)
         ex_date+3(2) INTO int_date.
      ENDIF.
    WHEN lc_9.
      IF ex_date1(1) EQ lc_limit AND ex_date4(1) EQ lc_limit.

Date Format Conversion from MM.DD.YYYY to YYYYMMDD

Hi All,
I am trying to load data from r/3, and i have date format as MM.DD.YYYY in source system.how can i convert this into YYYYMMDD format in transfer rules(I know that we have to write a routine in transfer rules).Could anybody help me out pl?..pl give me conversion routine for it.
Here BW Filed is 0DATE and R/3 Filed is ZZDATE.
regards
murali.

Hi,
Try to under stand what I am asking :
What is the domain(or data type) used for the ZZDATE field.
Ok ,
If some records are having proper format and others are having wrong format, even we canot correct this with routine also. So in this case you have to edit manually at PSA, then do upload.
You are right, when we are populating data to ODS , if there is any wrong format of value, it will not disply the error at the time of loading .It will through the error at the time of activation.

Report level:
Try this in the column formula-
Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'MM/DD/YYYY')

Does your 4.5 have the sound equalizer ?

Date conversion from Excel to the SAP format

Hi,
I have created a BDC program which uploads daat from Excel sheet.
There is a date field also, the format of which can be any as per the end user (it will be one of those allowed by SAP).
However, the file will be used for execution by another user who may have a date setting which is different than that from the one in Excel.
Eg. End User's date format: DD.MM.YYYY, SAP User's date format: MM/DD/YYYY
So, how do I convert the date format from excel to the format which will be accepted by the transaction during the recording?
Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,
I have faced the same issue while uploading the date to the bdc.
if ur date format is DD.MM.YYYY in the excel file, first of all you need to change this to dats format ie YYYYMMDD ie character8 format and pass to the bdc, it will automatically convert to sap format
ie you need to convert splitting at .
data lv_date type char10,
        lv_dd type char02,
        lv_mm type char02,
       lv_yyyy type char04,
v_date type char08.
lv_date = '30.12.2011'.
split lv_date at '.' into lv_dd lv_mm lv_yyyy.
if strlen(lv_dd) lt 2.
   concatenate '0' lv_dd into lv_dd.
endif.
if strlen(lv_mm) lt 2.
   concatenate '0' lv_mm into lv_mm.
endif.
concatenate lv_yyyy lv_mm lv_dd into v_date.

GL Data Conversion from Legacy to Oracle EBS

Hi All,
I am tasked with converting legacy data into GL. I have worked on other conversions like supplier, AR and AP conversions but never worked on GL conversion, so I don't know how and where to start, what are the pre-requisites for entering data into gl_interface table how to ensure that data is correct in the .csv file etc.
Kindly request you all to guide me in right direction. Hope to hear from you all very soon!!! :)
Regards

Hi,
When you talk about GL-Data it is the trial balance to be loaded from legacy to oracle applications.
You can use Web-ADI to upload it ,the check list are
The balance for each account comibnation in the legacy system to be mapped to GL-Oracle code combination balance
With respect to open AR, AP Invoices if the invoices are converted using a control account for migration in GL then
the the balance transfered from AP,AR need not be reversed in GL from the source receivables and payables.
In case if the same account combination are for migrating the balances from AP,AR to GL ..Then the balances transferred from AP,AR should be reversed ..so that it does not affect the TB-GL-Balance
Finally ensure that the balance for the TB-tallys with your legacy system and upload it using Web-ADI ,import and
review and post it.
Hope this points helps your GL-Data conversion.

Date conversion from YYYYMMDD to DD.MM.YYYY

Hi,
I'm trying to load some data from a flat file into BW. I have a date column in the CSV file that has the date in YYYYMMDD format. when I load it into Bw, I want to change the format to DD.MM.YYYY .
I have written a small routine that should do this, but it doesn't seem to work.
data:v_date like sy-datum,
v_date1(10) type c.
Concatenate v_date+6(2) '.' v_date+4(2) '.' v_date+0(4) into v_date1.
RESULT = V_DATE1.
The result of this routine is YY.YYMM.DD instead of DD.MM.YYYY.
Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?
Thanks
Sam

Hi Keshu,
When I add the loop to my code, it doesn't seem to work. It gives me the following error:

Diagnosis
does not correspond to the date format that is assigned to the current user ASDSAD.
System Response

Date Conversion from GMT to Local and Local To GMT considering DST.

Hi,
I have a application which displays the time in GMT across all the screens,and saves in Local/Default TimeZone as application would be deployed in europe and India.I have written a utility which does the conversion.
I just want to know that how to handle the Daylight Saving Time[DST] as we are taking the data from database and converting it to LocalTime Zone.This works fine but what would happen if the sever time is changes due to DST.There would be problem between the object saved before the DST and after DST because we are simply converting stored time to GMT to show on the screen.
Please share if you some solution/suggestions.
Thanks.

That statement is phrased oddly.
A java.util.Date uses a UTC offset with millisecond resolution.
A jdbc driver converts that value into a "correct" value for the target database.And from.
The form that is stored in the database is entirely database dependent. The actual form stored in the database can take many forms.True, but it is highly likely to be an offset from some "epoch" (Progress, for example, uses 00:00:00 1/1/-3714 UTC as I recall, and has 1-second granularity).Yes but as I said the phrasing was odd. A timestamp, by definition, must be an offset of something. Doesn't matter how it is represented. After all the year 2009 is an offset in the Gregorian calander.
However in terms of actual storage the way it is stored is unlikely to be similar to what Java does. As examples neither Oracle nor MS SQL Server uses a single numeric offset.
It might not even have a concept of timezone.Again true, although I've yet to come across one; and since OP is only concerned about the timezone in Java I'm not quite sure how relevant that is.
Relevant in terms of the description in terms of what java does, what the database does and how it gets from java to the database.
I would also expect any JDBC driver that cannot translate to or from a Java date correctly to document the fact in 60-point bold type, since it's a violation of the implied contract of ResultSet.getDate().Except that depends on your definition of "correct".
Examples of that
- Oracle doesn't have millisecond resolution at all in its common format.
- MS SQL Server doesn't have the same resolution as java, instead there is an odd resolution (one three-hundredth of a second).
- MS SQL Server doesn't have timezones, so if you don't take care and your data crosses timezones the timestamp will be different.
The drivers will not warn you of things like that. At least not that I have seen.

Data conversion from 212 format

I found a problem during conversion data.
I have a file which contains ASCII characters (in fact they're look
like ASCII on any editor) . I have to convert them to integer but I
know that data are organised into pairs of 12bit numbers packed into
byte triplets (format 212).
I made some vi (which convert 2 following ASCII characters to binary,
then divide them to pairs of 4bits, then some rotation etc..) but the
whole conversion takes too much time (64kb file conversion is taking
approx. 1minute).
Thank you for any suggestions,
Michael ([email protected])

Dear Michal,
I hope this vi work faster.
Input: 3bytes, data type unsigned int (U8)
Output: 2 values, data type integer. (INT16)
of course read all file to memory. Don't read everytime from file by 3
bytes.
Deniss
ps. vi i send by e-mail.

Changing Date format from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY

Hello all,
          We have upgraded our portal system from EP 6.0 to EP 7.0 . Before upgrade the portal date format was in DD/MM/YYYY format but after upgrade it has changed to MM/DD/YYYY.
          We changed the request.mandatoryCountry and Request.mandatoryLanguage parameters as GB and EN respectively .
After this change the standard portal iview start showing date in DD/MM/YYYY format but custom web dynpro applications are still displaying date in MM/DD/YYYY format.
        Please suggest how can we change the date format for custom dynpro applications too.
Regards,
Ganesh

Ganesh,
You might find [this|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f4/d95664da179b4db731e21c2e470b72/frameset.htm] link helpful in understanding how the locale is determined for a user who logs into the portal.
Similar discussions are on the following threads
1 - date format
2 - internationalization problem - default language of wd in portal
A snippet from the above thread,
1) Language indicator of the user (Example: Language not set in portal)
2) Language preference of the browser (Example: fr - Resource doesn't exists)
3) Language indicator of the Web Dynpro Application
4) Language preference of the system
5) Language preference of the JVM
Hope it helps.
Good Luck!!!
