Date format within smartforms printing

Hello,
I have an issue regarding date format.
When I print a delivery note date format is e.g. 08.04.2011, printing an invoice it shows 04-08-2011.
It seems that depending on the customers country the invoice printing converts to date format within country settings
(V_T005-DATFM) while delivery form doesn't.
If I always want to print in date format of sales company what should I do?
Thanks a lot,
Wolfi.

I guess, it should work if you define
/: SET COUNTRY &country_key&
in the Initialization section of your smartform.
Note: The country-dependent formatting options are stored in the T005X table.

Inside smartforms where to write code for call FM and formatting and all?
If i call FM inside smartforms it'll work? .that means where i have to call and format? Please help me..
Regards,
Nandha..

HI,
you can write the code as you want in the Smartform,
Just create Program lines then call the Function module, so you input will be 9 character field and the output will be 16 Character field.
In the Program lines window, just give Input Parameter is 9 character field and the output parameter is 16 Character field, so this 16 Character field will be available for you in the Smartform, so you can use this and Print this anywhere
Hope you got it..

How to create paragraph format in smartforms

Hi All,
Let me know how to create paragraph format in smartforms?
Thanks&Regards
Mahesh

Hi
When we create a smartform we can see in global settings , form attributes.
In form attributes we set the over all style of the smartform. Goto form attributes and open the tab output options. Here you can see the Style box. In this style box we enter the smartstyle created in transaction code smartstyles.
Open transaction smartstyles.
Create a new style.
Upon creating a new style you will see 3 folder structures under style name.
1. Header data
2. Paragraph format
3. Character format
To create paragraph format right click on the paragraph format node and click Create Node. Give it name. Now you will get a screen with 4 tabs.
Indents and spacing
Fonts
Tabs
Numbering and outline
Here you can provide the look you want.
Now add this smartstyle in your smartform's form attribute.
You can also provide individual smartstyles to each text element you create by giving the name of smartstyle in its output options tab. Each text element has a individual output option tab here you can give any smartstyle.
Click on the general attribute tab of any text element and give the paragraph format directly or by going to SAPScript editor mode.
Any more questions you can ask me directly mailing me.
Please do reward points if satisfied.

Change date format in PO form

Hi,
Currently, the delivery date printed in PO form is in the format of mm/dd/yyyy.
If I will change the month format into text, say for example, FEB-07-2011, how can I make this happen?
Is there any other way to accomodate this other than change the print program/form?
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Armie

Hi,
Date format copy from setting which you have done in t.code: SU3 or SU01 in Date Format in Default tab,If you want you can change it according to your requirement.
Or as you need check your SMARTFORMS which assigned to your PO message type ( NACE) with which you print PO and see possible conversion as required by you with your ABAPer.

Dynamic formating in smartforms

I'm just curious if there is a possible to create a dynamic formatting in Smartforms. What I mean saying dynamic? Lets imaging that I've a strucure where I've following information;
LINE_NUMBER
TEXT
This structure is used to build a table, where I can assign one or more text to one line.
So my example data in this table will be:
LINE_NUMBER | TEXT
1 | my first item
1 | first item description
1 | some other text
2 | second item
2 | second item extended name
2 | second item additional text
2 | second item summary text
and so one...
So I can have varying texts number assigned into one line (max 8).
Now I want to use paragraph, with 8 prepared tabs.
Now the problem comes, how to pass this texts into tableline inside smartform and do not prepare separate lines for 1,2,3... elements?
Any idea? It is possible to prepare data in variable which looks like:
1,,my first item,,first item description,,some other text
and display this data in such way, that commas will be recognized as tabs formatting in paragraph instead displaying them?

hi..try this...
create table->create a line type as required.
loop at itab containing ur data.
in the main area of the table create a row:
right click on main area->table line
in the output options of the row assign the line type from the drop down. in the condition of the row give the condition wa-LINE_NUMBER = 1.
similarly create other rows(table lines) giving the conditions 1 to 8.
that is you will have 8 table lines with conditions:
row1 condition -> wa-LINE_NUMBER = 1
row2 condition -> wa-LINE_NUMBER = 2
row3 condition -> wa-LINE_NUMBER = 3
row8 condition -> wa-LINE_NUMBER = 8
so if line_number = 1 then row 1 will be use..
if its 8 then row 8 will be used......
inside the rows u can use different text elements with different para formats...

Problem with Date formatting

Hi Tim,
I am facing some issues with formatting the date using XMLP. The following is the sample XML data file i am using:
<LIST_G_HEADER>
<G_HEADER>
<QUOTE_HEADER_ID>1455</QUOTE_HEADER_ID>
<QUOTE_NUMBER>2027</QUOTE_NUMBER>
<QUOTE_VERSION>1</QUOTE_VERSION>
<QUOTE_NAME>Test GM Report - Rabindra</QUOTE_NAME>
<SOURCE_NAME>Fletcher, MR. Paul</SOURCE_NAME>
<QUOTE_DATE>27-OCT-2005</QUOTE_DATE>
<CURRENCY_CODE>GBP</CURRENCY_CODE>
</G_HEADER>
</LIST_G_HEADER>
The formatting i use for my date field i.e <QUOTE_DATE>, ends up either with NO formatting or giving me an error "[010906_114656657][][ERROR] Invalid XSD string: 27-OCT-2005 (XMLP Template Viewer)". The default formatting available with the form field dialog box (MS-Word) feature also doesn't work.
I have the following formatting for this field in the form field:
<?format-date:QUOTE_DATE; 'MEDIUM' ?>
When i read the user guide, it reads that the date should be in the canonical format i.e: YYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+HH:MM
However i am not getting the date from the base table's in this format. Is the error happening due to incorrect format or is there some other reason behind this? Please let me know, how can i overcome this issue.
Thx,
Nitin

As i mentioned in another thread
substring function and date format
Please use this standards
<?xdofx:expression?>
for extended SQL functions or
<?xdoxslt:expression?>
for extended XSL functions.
Use like
<?xdofx:rpad(LAST_NAME),30, ’x’)?>
<?xdofx:Instr(’abcabcabc’,’a’,2))?>
<?xdofx:upper(char)?>
<?xdofx:lower (char)?>
<?xdofx:greatest ( expr [, expr]... )?>
ETC.....

Need to convert into date format

Hi all,
I need to convert '2008-11-26T11:07:38-06:00' [YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]T[HH]:[MM]:[SS][TIMEZONE]
in format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply
But it is giving me output as '26-NOV-08'
And I want in format '2008-11-26 07:38' i.e 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM'.
>
Then you are not looking for a date, You are looking for a string.
The date format that gets displayed is dependent on nls_date_format parameter.
If you want a string in the format you asked, then,
SELECT TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( '2008-11-26T11:07:38-06:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS"-06:00"'), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MM:SS')
FROM DUAL;Or if you just want the date to be displayed like that then
Do,
SQL> alter session set nls_date_Format="YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS";
Session altered.
SQL> SELECT TO_DATE ( '2008-11-26T11:07:38-06:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS"-06:00"') dt
2 FROM DUAL;

2008-11-26 11:07:38

How to convert the numeric to date format

HI ,
     We have created the date KF and selected the data type as DEC-numeric or counter and add in the cube.
      the data for this fields in the cube are in numerics like 734.504, but when we execute the report it is converted in to date format dd.mm.yyyy.
                My issue how this conversion is working in the backend while executing the report.
Regards.
venkata

Conversion is happening because of the type you had selected for the KF while creating it.
Check the type of the Key figure?
While creating the KF you might have selected the Type as Date and Data type -DEC : Counter or amount field with comma and sign.
that's the reason why you are getting the output values displayed in dd.mm.yyyy format.
For amount field - create a KF with type "AMOUNT" and unit -0currency or specify the currency of that region.

KP
