Depending on your final goal here are 2 options.
DATA: datein        TYPE d.
DATA: dateout(10)   TYPE c.
DATA: dateout2(8)   TYPE c.
datein = sy-datum.
WRITE datein TO dateout MM/DD/YYYY.
dateout2 = datein.
WRITE:/ datein, dateout, dateout2.

  • How to  use data function using characterstics variable for calculation on

    how to  use data function using characterstics variable for calculation on  attribute as key figure

    Hi Gayatri
    Did you not see my answer for CASE because CASE does indeed offer the use of the BETWEEN clause, but DECODE does not. Let me give you a little synopsis of DECODE.
    In its most simple form it takes 4 values and looks like this: DECODE(A, B, C, D)
    This essentially means, IF A = B THEN C ELSE D
    The trick to solving BETWEEN in a DECODE is to work out algoriths where A = B. Because we don't know how many values are between 00 and 99, although I could guess there were 100 we could of course have 100 parts in the DECODE but that would be awful. How about if we look at it another way and say this:
    IF PART_NUMBER < 'SDK00' THEN pay_amount
    ELSE IF PART_NUMBER > 'SDK99' THEN pay_AMOUNT
    ELSE pay_amount + 100
    This statement only had 2 hard coded values, but how to make DECODE work with less than? Easy, we use the LEAST function. The LEAST function takes 2 values and returns the one with the lowest value. So I use LEAST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK00') then whenever the PART_NUMBER is lower than SDK00 it will be true. A similar situation exists for the opposite function GREATEST. Putting all of this together then, you can do this:
    DECODE(PART_NUMBER, GREATEST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK00'), DECODE(PART_NUMBER, LEAST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK99'), PAY_AMOUNT * 100, PAY_AMOUNT), PAY_AMOUNT)
    In English this can be read as follows:
    IF the PART_NUMBER is greater than or equal to SDK00 and the PART_NUMBER is less than or equal to SDK99 THEN PAY_AMOUNT x 100 ELSE 0
    Best wishes

  • 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..

  • How to Convert Date to Month in Database which is pointing to EBS, Not DWH.

    Hi Friends,
    We are planning to create reports in OBIEE and the Source is EBS. That means, we don’t want to depends on Datawarehouse and Informatica and OBIApps. We just create some reports and they are pointing to EBS database.
    For testing purpose, we have taken one HR Report and it containsthe below columns:
    Month (Dim)
    Revenue Per Employee Headcount (Fact)
    Average Cost per Active Workforce Headcount (Fact)
    In my little investigation, we found that Revenue column is coming from EBS: GL_BALANCES. And we configured W_Day_D base table in DAC as there is no Month column in EBS (Not sure).
    *** Coming to my problem, how can I call Month column in my database pointed to EBS. How to convert Date to Month in my database.
    I could be wrong but anyone please look into this issue.. How can I create columns for that exact OBI report in EBS database instead of DwH.
    Thanks in Advance..
    Raghu Nagadasari

    Hi Veeresh,
    You are right. Here, no need of using W_DAY_D table, but, we need all the stuff from the table and to explain my problem i have taken that table as an example. Now, we ran scripts for W_MONTH_D and W_DAY_D tables with EBS columns. So, we are getting data for the tables. In the same manner we have to create scripts for the below tables.
    W_GL_ACCOUNT_D
    W_GL_OTHER_F
    W_STATUS_D
    W_MCAL_DAY_D
    W_EMPLOYMENT_STAT_CAT_D
    W_WRKFC_BAL_A
    W_DAY_D (Completed)
    W_MONTH_D (Completed)
    But, we are not aware of EBS Tables and their columns much. So, we are back tracing from RpD --> DAC --> Info --> EBS for each and every column and its taking much time.
    So, if anyone of you facing the same issue, please share the EBS tables for the corresponding OBI tables, which are mentioned above.
