Concatenate date4(2) / date6(2) / date(4) into Date2.
or
data : l_date(10) type c .
concatenate sy-datum6(2) '/' sy-datum4(2) '/' sy-datum(4) into l_date.
write : l_date.
or
data :l_date(10) type c
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'

DATE_EXTERNAL = l_date.
this function module converts date from 20050601 to external format which is specified in user profile
or

DATA: T_MONTHS LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF T247 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: DATE LIKE AUSP-ATWRT.
CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_NAMES_GET'
TABLES
MONTH_NAMES = T_MONTHS.
READ TABLE T_MONTHS WITH KEY MNR = P_DATE+4(2).
DATE(2) = P_DATE+6(2).
DATE+2(3) = T_MONTHS-KTX.

Date format in SAP Knowledge management

Hi Friends,
Is there an option to change the Date format in SAP Knowledge management. I want to change the date format from MM/DD/YY to DD/MM/YY for the created and modified date for a document in KM.
Found below information in help.sap. I searched in KM configuration -> Global Service for the setting. But I am not sure how or where to cheange it.
Date and Time Specification for Properties - Knowledge Management - SAP Library
Can you any one help me with this.
Netweaver version is 7.00 SP24.
Thank you in advance.
Thank you
~Kamesh~

Hello Kamesh,
if you look at the SAP Help link, you see that it is a part of the "Property Metadata Service" (the point one level up). There you see, where you can find the service itself in the portal and if you look at the "Related Areas" you should find "Property Metadata" (at least I do in my 7.31 portal ).
From there the link you found yourself should guide you well to do the changes you wish.

Urgent ......regarding date format in SAP Script

In my MAIN WINDOW I have date fields like Date of Manifacture, created date and Expiry date.
So, currently I am using SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM' and it is printing same format for all fields.
But now my requirement is I want to show date for Expiry Date like 'YYYY-MM-DD'. For this I defined one temparary variable in the form like below
DEFINE &outdate& = &mchar-vfdat&
SET &outdate& MASK = 'YYYY-MM-DD'.
but still it is showing format YYYY-MM...
Plz help me how to print my desired date format...
I am waiting for ur reply...
Regards,
Kumar

Hi Kishore kumar,
What you can do is befor printing the Expiry date set the date Mask as 'YYYY-MM-DD' and after printing your Expiry Date again set the DATE MASK to 'YYYY-MM'
i.e.
/: SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM-DD'
&mchar-vfdat&
/: SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM'

its also very difficult first downlaod file from AL11 change the datw format in another form then load the file.
dates Format in SAP BI are available.
Thanks,
Mohit.

Hi,
You use routine to update DATE required format
Data: w_day(2) type n,
w_month(2) type n,
w_year(4) type n.
Clear: w_day,w_month, w_year.
w_day = DATE+0(2).
w_month = DATE+2(2).
w_year = DATE+4(4).
and then CONCATENATE required format.
Examples
1 CONCATENATE w_month w_day w_year into REQ_DATE
2 CONCATENATE w_Year w_day w_month into REQ_DATE
Write this routine in transformation for DATE infoobject.
Thank you,
Nanda

SAP data format

Hi All,
What is the standard data format in SAP?
Is it in unicode, ascii, or binary?
Can you also tell me the difference between the 3?
More specifically, what is the data format for a document downloaded from SAP via GUI_DOWNLOAD?
Thanks.

Hi,
I'd just like to say that FM GUI_DOWNLOAD can output file in many format.
The output format is handled in FILETYPE parameter in the FM.
By default, if the calling program doesn't pass any value to this FILETYPE parameter, the FM is producing output file in ASCII.
FYI, these info can be found in the FM documentation.
But for your convenience, hereby I attached the function module help, specific to this FILETYPE parameter:

zdate_var_year = zdate_var(4).
zdate_var_mm = zdate + 4(2).
zdate_var_dd = zdate + 6(2).
YYYYMM = zdate_var_year , zdate_var_mm.
LIke this u can have ur o/p as per ur wish,

Date format conversion issue in BW

Hi Experts,
I have 2 custom date fields for which I'm getting the values from oracle database through DB Connect in MM/DD/YYYY format (e.g values 10/20/2007 and 3/5/2007). But I want to convert this date format into SAP BW internal format (YYYYMMDD). I've defined the above 2 date fields in BW with a data type DATS (8 digits length) and wrote a code in the TRs as below. Both these fields are defined as a character with a length of 10 in the oracle system.
data zresult(10) type C.
data : lv_day(2) type c,
lv_month(2) type c,
lv_year(4) type c.
zresult = tran_structure-spring_norm_date.
lv_day = zresult+3(2).
lv_month = zresult+0(2).
lv_year = zresult+6(4).
CONCATENATE lv_year lv_month lv_day into result.
But still the data load is getting failed due to wrong date format and error in the routine. It says the value for the characteristic 0DATE doesn't have 8 spaces. Is there anything wrong with the routine?
Could someone please share some inputs on this.
Thanks,
Krish

Hi Narasimha,
Thanks a lot for your prompt response and inputs. I used this code as below in my TR for the date field. But its still giving an error message saying "Value '20072109' of characteristic 0DATE is not possible and error when assigning SID". The value what I can see in the source system (oracle table) and in PSA for this record is '9/21/2007'. Am I still missing something here?
DATA: get_date TYPE sy-datum,
s1(2) TYPE c,
s2(2) TYPE c,
s3(4) TYPE c,
lv_length TYPE i,
lv_length1 TYPE i.
SPLIT TRAN_STRUCTURE-FALL_NORM_DATE AT '/' INTO s1 s2 s3.
lv_length = STRLEN( s1 ).
IF lv_length = 1.
CONCATENATE '0' s1 INTO s1.
ENDIF.
lv_length1 = STRLEN( s2 ).
IF lv_length1 = 1.
CONCATENATE '0' s2 INTO s2.
ENDIF.
CONCATENATE s3 s2 s1 INTO get_date.
RESULT = get_date.
Could you please help me on this?
FYI, I have defined my date field in ODS with the data type DATS in order to display the output in YYYYMMDD format.
Thanks,
Krish

String to DATS format conversion in XI.

Hello Experts,
I am using Powerbuilder system to get my Legacy data.In Powerbuilder Date needs to be supplied in STRING format.So I am giving String Format (dd-mmm-yyyy).
However, at SAP end, Date needs to be in DATS format (Standard SAP yyyymmdd) .
In Message Mapping I have given I/P structure as String and O/P structure as DATS format. When I test mapping in XI, it gives me Parseable error.
Can anybody tell me, is there any way in XI to convert from String to DATS format so that I do not get Parseable error.
Please Help!!!!

Lokesh,
With XI there is a date transformation function under date category there you need to provide source date format and target date format..
I have used the same for fetching the data from oracle..and posting into SAP..it works fine..
Try this ..this will solve ur problem....you just need to see what is the exact date format used by powerbuilder internally...

Working with SAP Data Format yyyy.mm.dd in data services

Hi,
I had 2 questions about date formats coming from SAP to DS .
1) I am trying to convert date fieild from SAP that is formated to yyyy.mm.dd to mm/dd/yyyy but I am not having any luck .. I am using the to_date function when I run this below I get null values in my template table . I think it has to do with me not stating my input date format but cannot seem to get the correct syntax's any ideas ?
2) Does Data Services recognize dates which are formatted as yyyy.mm.dd ?? When I put I added a column to a template table and added the sys date command it returned the sys date as yyyy.mm.dd BUT when I try a fiscal_day function (which should brings back the number of days between the input (my SAP source date ) and the sys date which are formatted the same (yyyy.mm.dd) I get a format error (input parameter 2009.03.10 is not valid) . any ideas ?
Thanks for your time,
Brett

Hello Brett
to_date convert STRING to date based on input format.
As i understand your source data not in string format.Is this correct?
Use combination to_char->to_date for your transformation
