Displaying a date field as DD/MM/YY

Hi,
I have some reports that I want to display the date in the form of dd/mm/yy, currently it is appearing as dd/mm/yyyy
I currently ahve this in the column heading
cast(cast("- Account Custom Attributes".DATE_12 as char) as Date)
How can I get it to display as dd/mm/yy?
Thank you

Open the Column Properties window for the column and go to the Data Format tab.
Choose to overwrite the default format and select Custom.
In the custom format field enter dd/MM/yy
You must use upper case M and lower d and y (lower case m is for the minutes portion of a timestamp)

To Display a date field in TSTCT table

Dear Experts,
Recently we got a request to have a date field in TSTCT table. So, that when ever the new transaction is created the date will automatically display in TSTCT table. Now there is only three fields in the table. There is no further settings to regarding the display of date field. Is there any possible cases/BADI's which helps to display the Date field in TSTCT Table. Please help me with possible solutions.
Thanks in advance, Regards,
Harsha.

Dear Eswara,
It is not possible adding field through BADI or exit. But you go into /nSE11 for this table and go to Technical Settings, if the check box 'Log Data Changes' is set then you may be able to display a log of changes made to entries in this table using /nSCU3.

Business Partner Creation/Display - General Data fields are missing

Hi,
We have an issue in our ECC6.0 system. In FPP1/FPP2/FPP3 transactions General data fields such as Driver's license, SSN, Employee class are missing under Identification tab. But the same are displayed in BP transaction code. What configuration would causing this issue.

I found a SAP Note 844949 which is talking about the same kind of issue. As per the note I regenerated subscreen containers for application object BUPA.
Call transaction BUSP and generate the subscreen containers for the application objects BUPA, FICA and BUPR. To do this, set the "All screens" indicator under "Generate All Screens or Just Selected Screens".
If this does not correct the incorrect display, use transaction BUPT for the business partner or transaction CAWM for the contract account to make sure that the fields are not missing due to the field modifications. (If you cannot call these transactions, exit the SAP Easy Access menu by using /n and then call BUPT or CAWM.

I'm not sure why you would do it the way you have it implemented in 3 select lists.
Why not use a Item Type of Date Picker, and let the user use the pop-up Date Picker to select the date.
You code has some fatal flaws:
1) You can't see any data before 2000
2) You can't see any data past 2010 (probably not an issue now)
3) It's possible to specify February 31 as a date
Using the built-in Date Item type will eliminate these issues and at the same time, make your UI more streamlined.

Javascript for multiple date fields

Hi all-
I have to write javascript for 15 different date fields in a form.
The requirement here is that we convert all date fields on Page 100 from date pickers (editable date fields) to display-only date fields with two controls for the users to set the date.
If the field is empty (no date registered yet), there will be a green checkmark(X). When the user clicks this checkmark, the current date is entered into the field.
If the field is not empty (there is a date already in the system), there will be a red X. When the user click this red X, the date from the date field is removed.
The javascript I am using here is
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
     function init(){
          var datePickerVal = $v2('P100_TODAYS_DATE');
          if(datePickerVal){
               $x_Show('ToggleDateR');
               $x_Hide('ToggleDateG');
          }else{
               $x_Hide('ToggleDateR');
               $x_Show('ToggleDateG');
     function toggleDateFunc(pValue){
          var sysDate = $v2('P100_DATE');
          if(pValue == 'R'){
               $x_Hide('ToggleDateR');
               $x_Show('ToggleDateG');
               $x_Value('P100_TODAYS_DATE','');
          }else if(pValue == 'G'){
               $x_Show('ToggleDateR');
               $x_Hide('ToggleDateG');
               $x_Value('P100_TODAYS_DATE',sysDate);
     window.onload = init;
</script>
This javascript is working for one date field( 'P100_TODAYS_DATE') but i have 15 different date fields in this page(100) all should have same funtionality. Please help me out how to write a logic to use this function for all the date fields.
Thanks,(apex 3.2)

Hi,
You can do the needful by re-using the code if you can give the item names as P8_DATE1, P8_DATE_hh1, P8_DATE2, P8_DATEhh2 etc..So your item name just differs by a sequence.
Now you write function which will return desired date value taking above items as input. Pass item names to this function, get session state using APEX_UTIL.GET_SESSION_STATE('item_name') API.
Now modify you code as
FOR i IN 1..30
LOOP
v_date_array[i] = f_get_date('P8_DATE'||i, 'P8_DATEhh'||i);
END LOOP;
....Now you have all date valus in array. Just write one update as follows
UPDATE TABLE1
SET date1 = my_date_array[1], date2 = my_date_array[2]..
WHERE ....Hope it helps :)
Cheers,
Hari

Date field in Reporting

Hello all ,
We need to display the Start date and the End date along with the time taken to complete the project in a report. I have created a measure called date and the type is a text field. I was able to load data into the date field. But , I am unable to bring the date field into the report. There is a error which is coming. Is it possible to display the date field in the report / KPI ?
Thanks
Vijay

Hi Ricardo ,
I am trying out both the methods. My client is a infrastructure company. It has a number of projects . The client wants to monitor the performance of each of his projects and the overall Delay. My requirement is to display a report which has the actual start date , planned start date , actual end date , planned end date , actual , budget and delay.
I tried to load the date fields into the PAS as a text field. The data load was successful. But when designing the report , I am getting an error. Is it a problem related to text variables ? Is it possible to bring the text variables onto the UI ?
Is there a way to build a report on the data from initiatives in SSM ? Do we need another reporting toll to achieve the same ?
Thanks
Vijay

Reg:how disaplay selection range for date field

hi all
can you please let me know how to write the code in wdabap to display a date field with range option.i mean in abap we use at selection screen ,but coming to wdabap can you help how to write the code in wdabap.
Thanks in advance
Deepika

To simplify the requirement, let me consider the followign understanding:
1. You need few fields in the selection screen. They need to be select options and some parameter fields.
2. The user clicks the button. You need to read teh user entered data.
Once, you have teh data in your code, assign it to the context node - attributes. later, you need to decide what you shoudl do with that data.
Sol: 1. To obtain fields into selection screen, use the component "wdr_select_options" and *** the interface view into your window. Make the view as default.
Now, you need to build the select options. Firstly create a method or insert the code in init().
DATA: lr_componentcontroller TYPE REF TO ig_componentcontroller,
        l_ref_cmp_usage TYPE REF TO if_wd_component_usage.
create the used component
l_ref_cmp_usage = wd_this->wd_cpuse_select_options( ).
IF l_ref_cmp_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.
    l_ref_cmp_usage->create_component( ).
ENDIF.
wd_this->m_wd_select_options = wd_this->wd_cpifc_select_options( ).
init the select screen
wd_this->m_handler = wd_this->m_wd_select_options->init_selection_screen( ).
wd_this->m_handler->set_global_options(
                              i_display_btn_cancel = abap_false
                              i_display_btn_check   = abap_false
                              i_display_btn_reset   = abap_true
                              i_display_btn_execute = abap_false ).
Adding a block (type Tray) to the select-options
wd_this->m_handler->add_block(
    i_id         = `BSC01`
    i_block_type = if_wd_select_options=>mc_block_type_tray
    i_title      = `Selection Screen` ).
Adding a parameter field to the created block
Create a reference to the type of customer number KUNNR
CREATE DATA lr_field TYPE kunnr.
Sets the airline code initial value
ASSIGN lr_field->* TO <fs_field>.
Add the parameter to the group
wd_this->m_handler->add_parameter_field(
    i_id           = `KUNNR`
    i_within_block = `BSC01`
    i_obligatory   = abap_true
    i_value        = lr_field ).
FREE lr_field.
Adding a select-options field to the created block
Create a reference to the material number range table
lr_field = wd_this->m_handler->create_range_table( `MATNR` ).
Add the select-option to the group
wd_this->m_handler->add_selection_field(
    i_id           = `MATNR`
    i_within_block = `BSC01`
    it_result      = lr_field ).
FREE lr_field.
The code with method "set_global_options" is used to make the buttons visible or disappear.
Its convinient to create your own button with an action instead or subscribing to the action of exceute button.
Sol. 2: Read the data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
    <fs_sel_item> LIKE LINE OF lt_sel_item,
    <fs_kunnr>   TYPE kunnr,
    <fs_matnr>   TYPE ranges_matnr.
    wd_this->m_handler->get_value_of_parameter_field(
      EXPORTING i_id = 'KUNNR'
      RECEIVING r_value = p_kunnr ).
Get the selection-screen items
      wd_this->m_handler->get_selection_fields(
        IMPORTING et_fields = lt_sel_item ).
Retrieve the values from the select-options items
      LOOP AT lt_sel_item ASSIGNING <fs_sel_item>.
        CASE <fs_sel_item>-m_id.
          WHEN `MATNR`.
            ASSIGN <fs_sel_item>-mt_range_table->* TO <fs_matnr>.
         WHEN < Other sel-option'
       ENDCASE.
     ENDLOOP.
Obtain a reference to your context node and assign the field symbols to the attributes.
Finally, you would have the data in your nodes. Now, you need to handle the coe as per your req.

Want the data store values to be displayed in input field of form

Hi,
I wanted to know wether is there possibility of displaying the data in a input field instead of expression field.
In our model i have used a form which has material type,plant and Vendor connected to data service1 in turn gives the out put in chart and i also have the second input form which has To(0CALMONTH) combo box which is connected to Data service2 and gives the data in table.
But what i wanted is to i also want to use the input fields of first form to second Data service2 and get the data based on on inputs of form1 and form2i.e also To field.
We can connect the port from form1 to DS2 but problem is we need to click the submit of form1 and form2 and it doesnt gives the output according the input of form1 and form2 as it gives the output of that form when we click that submit button.
I have followed help.sap for data tore procdure.
So i have used a datstore where i will store the values of form1 and call it in expression field which i will add and hide it in form2(hide because user should not see that input fields).
Formula used in data store for expression field.
IF(CONTAINS(STORE@matltype,@Material_Type),STORE@matltype,STORE@matltype &(IF(LEN(STORE@matltype)>0,'; ',''))&@Material_Type)
But whats happening is the value is getting concatenated when i goon change the values in input field, so i wanted to get the values to be replaced as soon as i change input field of form1(if use replace function its not working) and also it would be more preferrable if we use input field instead of expression field.
I would also like to know is there any alternate solution for the above requirement instead of datastore.
Thank You
K.Srinivas

Hi,
I have Form1 connected to Data service1 displays the data in a Chart and i have another Form2 connected to Dataservice2 displays the data in table.
In form1 there are Material Type,plant, and Vendor and form2 i have To (0CALMONTH)SO now i want also Form1 inputs for Table which gets teh data from Dataservice2.
What i have said earlier is connecting Form1 to Dataservice doesnt fetch the data correectly,its because if i click submit in form1 i get the data of those 3 inputs and i need to click the submit button in form2 after giving input which shows the data accordingly where it doesnt fulfill the requirement.
So i wanted some solution for that.For that reason i have used the data store and the procedure i have followed the help.sap as i said in my above mesage.
If Data store is also suggestable than i want to display the data in Text input Field instead of Expression field which should replace the previous values as soon as values change in data store.
Hope i have tried to be clear if still it is not i am ready to explain again.
Thank You

CRVS2010 beta - Date field from database does not display in report

Hi there - can someone please help?!
I am getting a problem where a date field from the database does not display in the report viewer (It displays on my dev machine, but not on the client machines...details given below)
I upgraded to VS 2010
I am using the CRVS2010 Beta
My development machine is Windows 7 - and so is my fellow developer's
We are using Microsoft SQL Server 2000
We run the queries within VS and then we send the data table to VS using .SetDataSource
We have a few reports which display the date on our dev machines (whether we run the EXE or from within Visual Studio)
When we roll out to the client machines (running Windows XP SP3) then everything works, except that the date does not display (on quite a few reports)
This is the only real issue I have had - a show stopper for me
The rest works well - any input will be greatly appreciated

Data not submitting when I have a conditional display on a date field

Hello all,
Could someone please help me with the following issue?
I have created an updateable report region with four updateable fields. 3 of the fields store a number values and the fourth stores a date value.
Each updateable report item has a conditional display, and whether they are displayed or not is controlled by the end user using a radio group (with submit). This provides the user with three options.
If I remove all conditional displays all data will commit to the database without any problems. If I apply the conditional display to the number fields only, again the data will commit as normal. However, as soon as I add a conditional display to the date field it all goes pair shaped. The data will then cease to commit, with no error message at all. Once I remove the conditional display normal service is resumed.
I'm certainly an APEX novice at the moment, so I wondered if anyone could shed some light on this.
Thanks in advance for your help
Steve

Stew,
Basically, I have edited each applicable report field column attributes, via the report attributes tab, and selected a conditional display 'Value of item in Expression 1 = Expression 2' for all of them.
In the same report region I have created a radiogoup with submit called p51_update_type, specifying three static return values; R, F and S
Condition e.g.
*"Expression 1"*
p51_update_type
*"Expression 2"*
S
All columns display as expected, and commits to the database are normal, that is until I apply a conditional display to the date field (which relates to a table column of type DATE in the database).
Thanks
Steve

Issue in displaying DATE field in Excel sheet

Hi All,
Kindly help me with the below issue:
A report program when exexuted fetches the data's from database tables and populates in to an itab and the same is then moved to a itab which is declared like this:
DATA: BEGIN OF t_downd OCCURS 0,
line(4096) TYPE c,
END OF t_downd.
This T_DOWND will have all the obtained records and the same is used to pass the entries to GUI_DOWNLOAD function module inorder to save the excel sheet in '.csv' format to the desktop.
The issue is the user wants the 'DATE' field to be displayed in 'DD-MM-YYYY' format in the excel sheet. So I have fetched the date based on the position(fdpos) and used the concatenate statement separated by '-'. Now when I run the program, some dates are not getting displayed in 'DD-MM-YYYY' format and some dates are getting displayed correctly as per the requirement.
While debugging also, I could find the date value in T_DOWND in the 'DD-MM-YYYY' format only. Not sure where it is actually getting changed and why.
Can some one please provide a soultion for this.
Thanks,
Deepa

Hi Soumya,
Thanks for the reply!
I declared a constant in the below format for the quotes:
constants : c_quotes type c value ''''. (i have put 4 quotes)
Now i have concatenated the above quotes to my date value.
But the output in the excel sheet is now getting displayed like this '30-02-2011
All the dates are getting displayed in the correct expected format, but the only issue is we are getting an extra quotes in front of the date.
Can you please suggest why this is happening.
Thanks,
Deepa
