How to determine year from a date?

Hi experts,
How can I deterimine the year of a datum?
Is it always working if I determine the first 4 characters of a date?
I mean you can write the date in many forms like. yyyy/mm/dd or dd/mm/yyyy
So if I choose the first 4 characters the results will be different in the two cases mentioned here. How can I determine the year exactly?

If you use internal format (fields type D, DATS) the year is always in the first 4 characters.
Else convert into internal format first. ([CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERN_FORMAT|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=convert_date_to_intern_format&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue], [CONVERT_DATE_INPUT|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=convert_date_input&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue], [CONVERSION_EXIT_DATEX_INPUT|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=conversion_exit_datex_input&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue], etc.)

  • How do I pull just the year from a date?

    I'm trying to pull just the year from a date and cannot figure out how this can be done. I tried the SUBSTR fuction but its not acting how I would expect. What I'm wanting to do is write a condition that says Item Birth Year = Current Year minus 23 I have a calc that figures the age from the difference in the birthdate and current year but I'd really like to just write a condition based just one years. Can this be done?

    Hello
    SUBSTR will only work on a string. To extract portions of a date you need to use the TO_CHAR command.
    To get the year you would use this: TO_CHAR(the_date,'YYYY')
    TO_CHAR takes 2 switches, the date to be manipulated and the portion to be extracted, with the portion in single quotes.
    Once you get used to manipulating dates like this other common pieces are: DD - extracts the day of the month, MON extracts the 3 character code for the month.
    Thus you can use this: TO_CHAR(sysdate,'DD-MON-YYYY') and it will convert the current date, June 7th 2012 to 07-JUN-2012
    Hope this helps
    Best wishes

  • How to parse the year from a date.

    Hi,
    I have the following date format in database.
    05-SEP-07
    18-OCT-07
    18-OCT-07
    25-JUL-07
    18-OCT-07
    What I am trying to do is get only the full year from the date, example
    2007
    2008
    2009
    I tried to use extract function but that doesn't work due to ORA-01843: not a valid month.
    Thanks in advance.
    select extract(year from date '18-OCT-07') from dual;

    OK. You got an error using date literal. Did you at least look in documentation on date literals? I guess not, otherwise you'd see that data literal synatx is DATE 'YYYY-MM-DD':
    SQL> select extract(year from date '18-OCT-07') from dual;
    select extract(year from date '18-OCT-07') from dual
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01843: not a valid month
    SQL>
    SQL> select extract(year from date '2007-10-18') from dual;
    EXTRACT(YEARFROMDATE'2007-10-18')
                                 2007
    SQL> SY.
    P.S. "I have the following date format in database" is completely wrong dates are always stored in one format - internal date format that stores year, month, day, hour, minute and second. When you select date using client tools like SQL*Plus, SQL Developer, Toad, etc. date is converted to string using either explicit or implicit format where you specify which parts of date you want to see.

  • Read Year from System Date & Compare - Assistance required

    Hi All,
    I am trying to read only the year part from the system date & then checking if any entry exists in EKKO table (EKKO-BEDAT) for the year. I think i am making an error in my data declaration for V_YEAR & in my select statement (EKKO~BEDAT LIKE V_YEAR), not sure how to compare only the year part, can someone help.
    DATA:
        V_EBELN TYPE EKPO-EBELN,
        V_YEAR  TYPE SY-DATUM.
    CLEAR: V_EBELN, V_YEAR.
    *Read year from system date
    V_YEAR = SY-DATUM+0(4).
    CONCATENATE '%' '%' '%' '%' V_YEAR INTO V_YEAR.
    *Select section
    SELECT SINGLE EKPO~EBELN INTO V_EBELN
    FROM EKPO
      INNER JOIN EKKO
        ON EKPOEBELN = EKKOEBELN
      INNER JOIN LFM1
        ON EKKOLIFNR = LFM1LIFNR
       WHERE EKKO~LIFNR = LFM1-LIFNR
         AND EKKO~BEDAT LIKE V_YEAR
         AND EKPO~LOEKZ = SPACE.

    Hi Sougata,
    Thanks for the inputs, but it is not working:
    Move:      sy-datum(4) to v_begda, -> This reads the system year 2008
            '0101'     to v_begda,  -> This changes 2008 to 0101
            sy-datum(4) to v_endda, -> This reads system year i.e. 2008
            '1231'     to v_endda. -> This changes 2008 to 1231
    Also in the select statement
    AND EKKO~BEDAT between v_begda and v_endda 
    This would not work, as EKKO-BEDAT is in year month date format.
    So can you please clarify why we are assigining 0101 & 1231 & also how we can compare only the year in EKKO-BEDAT with System Year
    Update
    I tried to
    concatenate '0101 into v_begda.
    concatenate '1231' into v_endda.
    but system prompts "charlike-field" expected after "'0101'"
    Can you please advice?

    maybe your column name is wrong? Is it really A_somthing? This is possible but slightly unusual.
    also possible

  • How to determine what's using data store temp space?

    How can one determine what's using data store temp space? We are interested to know what structures are occupying space in temp space and if possible what pid/process connected to TimesTen created them.
    Also, is there a procedure that will work if temp space is full?
    Recently one of our data stores ran of space. We we're unable to run commands like "monitor", "select * from monitor", "select count(*) from my_application_table", etc. These commands failed because they required temp space to run and temp space was full. We killed the application processes, this in turned freed up temp space, then we were able to run these queries.
    Ideally, we'd like to have a procedure to figure out what's using temp space when temp space is full.
    The other thing we could do is periodically monitor temp space prior to it filling to determine what's using temp space.

    That was my original thought, but once you click the slider track or thumb, and then enter a value in the text control, the clickTarget on the change event envoked by the change to the bound data (after entering a value in the text control) will be whatever slider element had last been clicked. If you've never clicked the slider, clickTarget=null. But once you've clicked the slider the clickTarget always has a value of "thumb" or "track", regardless of what triggered the change event.

  • With multiple iPhones and iPad, how do you keep from downloading data from one device to another? ie, my calander ended up on my daughter's iPad.

    With multiple iPhones and an iPad, how do I keep from downloading info from one device to another? All of my info, example my calendar, ended up on my daughter's iPad.

    Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes when syncing multiple devices with the same iTunes library under the same computer login account.
    If sync calendars with the same calendar is selected under the Info tab for your daughter's iPad sync preferences with iTunes, the same calendar will be synced with her iPad.

  • Extract a year from a date

    I have a date
     [Period Closed].[Period Closed] in a cube. This table contain only one values which might be  a certain date. Not today's date.
    I have another date table where I have to use the date value from [Period Closed].[Period Closed]  and pass in to another date table so that I can drive off all my data based on the date value. There is no hierarchy in [Period Closed].[Period
    Closed]  table. How can I extract year and month from [Period Closed].[Period Closed]  so that I can pass to main date table.

    Try something like this:
    StrToMember('[Other Date].[Other
    Date]&[' + Format(CDate([Period
    Closed].[Period Closed]), 'yyyyMMdd') + ']')
    This assumes that the key for [Other

  • How to determine 0calday from 0fiscper field ?

    we have a requirement where the user will enter the calmonth variable in the user input, and need to get the amount for top 20 customer's on sales, in the report. The problem is we dont have calmonth in the infocube. we have only 0fiscper and 0fiscalyear , and -0calday.
    0calday is mapped to the transaction date. No calmonth in the infocube and we cannot add it now. its too late.
    The columns we need in the report are ( orange color are column names)
    customer        YTD           DEC 2012 ( sales amount) ....for top 20 customers. like
    customer 1      99999            900
    customer 2      55555             200
    customer 20      11111             234
    sample data is as follows: ...what I want is user will input 0calmonth and 0fiscalyear. and I need to display the data for that month . Please advise how to achieve it. YTD - is 1st of jan of the current year till today's date right ? Irrespective of the user entry variable. Is that right ?

    Now as per your suggestion, I have restricted Z_FY_INPUT to the KF, and created another ZYTD and put this as Z_FY_INPUT as replacement path and and put offshet as 2 to 4 on it.
    Again i will clarfiy:
    First selection--Revenue KF--Fiscper--variable--User input--Z_FY_INPUT--This selection will give the value of that period which user is entering.If user enters 004.2014 so it will give value for the same.Correct!
    Now for YTD we need data from 001.2014 to 004.2014. correct..
    A) Take the revenue KF--Drag and drop 0fiscper --Restrict--Show--Value ranges---Less than or equal to--Choose the variable Z_FY_INPUT.
    B) Now again restrict the above selection with 0fiscyear--Create a characteristic variable with replacement path--Follow steps with screenshot as mentioned in the document.
    So basically for YTD you have restricted with two variables based respectively on 0fiscper and 0fiscyear.
    How this works let me explain that also.
    In Part A i have restricted the kf with the same user input variable which you used in first selection but the range less that or equal to.
    Till this stage if user enters 004.2014 then it will bring all the data which is less or equal to the user input which is not our requirement.We need data from the starting of the year upto user entered value.
    In Part B we have restricted the same selection with replacement path variable on 0fiscyear--We are replacing it with variable entered by user.
    So now this part will hold only the year i.e 2014..How--user entered 004.2014.
    Internal format K42014004--Offset we have given 2 length 4..
    Which gives 2014.
    On combining both the parts we get data data from the starting of the year up to the user entered value.
    I tried my level best to explain you how this works and believe me i have created YTD using the same method in so many queries and it really works as desired.

  • How to determine actual device activiation date?

    My Verizon plan has five phone lines.  Often we will grab an available two year renewals from one line and use it for another line.  My son noticed that his line line has a renewal coming up this fall and he wants to get a new phone.  I mentioned to him that I thought he just got a new phone last summer.  (Taking another family member's renewal.)
    I would like to confirm this.  Is there a way to look at the actual date that a phone was added to a given phone number in the plan?  (Or even a device history per phone line would be great.)  Due to renewal borrowing, the renewal date listed is not always accurate.

    I am aware of the next upgrade date on the web site.  What clouds the issue in my case is that a line (or lines) has borrowed the upgrade of another line on the plan.  For example:
    Line 1: Next upgrade is 1-1-15
    Line 2: Next upgrade is 5-1-13
    On 6-1-13 the user of line1 breaks his phone.  We see there is an available upgrade for line 2.  We use (or borrow) the upgrade for line 2 to get a new phone for line 1.  The new upgrade dates are now:
    Line 1: 1-1-15
    Line 2: 5-1-15
    When I look at these dates it does not tell me the date a new device was added to a given line.  I can't just subtract two years and get that answer (since I borrowed from one line to give to another.)
    I was hoping to find a way online to determine when a device was changed for a given phone line.  The closest thing available is what rcschnoor mentioned, the online receipts.
