How to validate a date field

actually i am getting a date string from the user.i want compare with the previousdate and i have to display a alert if the entered date is previous date.pls give me some example coding for this process

Hi, i had tried in the way you suggested but couldn't get it right. Also i dont want much complexity to be added to this validation purpose.So i just want to do it in the java script and i think there will be no problems with the browser settings.
What i need is i just want to validate whether the date entered into that textbox is in yyyy-mm-dd format. Also in the mysql database i am using the date will be entered in the yyyy-mm-dd format and i saw somewhere in the forum that while validating in javascript it is not possible to give in yyyy-mm-dd format i.e., it doesnot identify the hyphen and only slash needs to be given. So what should i do for this validation to be perfect.This should be simple with little complexity and accurate.Can anyone give me the suggestion regarding it. or if possible the sample code.I need it very urgent.

Hi,
I think there is no need to put chain endchain.
To do validation you have to write module in PAI which does required validations.

Secondly place the below code in the WDDOBEFOREACTION

How to validate a date in message mapping

Hi experts,
how to validate a date in message mapping. For ex: if date comes as 2008/02/31, then file it shold not get processed.how to achieve this in message mapping. Please help .
Thanks&Regards,
Reyaz Hussain

Hi,
There are few simple ways for date validation as follow,
1.If you would like to handle it in XI only, then in message mapping you could verify about it with the help of generating smart exception.
For e.g in mapping there is one Date conversion API i.e. somthing DateTransformation It converts the incoming date format to required format. Here give the date format i.e expected from Sender File.
If in case the format miss-matched then it will create the exception.
You could handle this exception with the use of [Alert notification|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/abb2e7ff6311d194c000a0c93033f7/frameset.htm] and could be even able to notify to sender system about it.
2. The another solution is easy for SAP synchornous communication --If you are passing the file data to SAP, then you could use below function modules to verify date format in receiver RFC/BAPI or inbound IDOC program. If the sy-subrc is not 0 then don't process further.
CONVERT_DATE_FORMAT
ISU_DATE_FORMAT_CHECK

How to convert a date field with format (dd,mm,yyyy) to format (mm,dd,yyyy)

Hello.
How to convert a date field with format (dd,mm,yyyy) to format (mm,dd,yyyy)
I have text field which has a databind to a date field. When I click on it, we can select the date, it is added on the format (dd,mm,yyyy). When I want to insert this date field to a database It doesnu2019t allow me to do it because it will only accept date field on the format (mm,dd,yyyy)
I tried to store this format on a date variable and I get a message saying that is impossible to convert a string into a date.
Regards,
Jose

Hi Jose,
usually you format strings in c# like
string.Format("{0:yyyyMMdd}", insertyourstring);
in your case
string.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}", insertyourstring);
[look here|http://idunno.org/archive/2004/14/01/122.aspx]
there are more details
if everything fails split the string with Mid()
or ask me

Edited by: BBR on Jul 24, 2008 4:23 PM

Hi
if u want to validate the screen fields in Module pool programming then u need to go for
CHAIN & ENDCHAIN.
Following is the example which guide u to use the chain and endchain:
In the flow logic of ur screen before the module write this code
CHAIN.
FIELD TABNAME-FIELDNAME(OR SCREEN FIELD NAME).
MODULE MODULENAME(OR FIELD NAME).
ENDCHAIN.
Double click on the module name and write ur validations.

How can I validate a date field in Portal Forms

I have a date field in portal forms that I want to perform validation on to make sure it's in the proper format before being accepted (mm/dd/yyyy). How can I validate against that field?

Hi Ben,
I took the time to test and revise. This is code that will validate a date entry (format MM/DD/YYYY). Just paste this in the "Before the start of the form..." window of the Additional PL/SQL code section of the form. Then add validateDate(); into the onBlur event window of the field in question. Replace the CYCLE_END_DATE with the field name in question.
HTP.P('
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>
function validateDate() {
var ddObj;
var mmObj;
var yyObj;
var day;
var mon;
var year;
var field_val;
var field_name;
for (var j=0; j < document.forms[0].elements.length; j++) {
field_name = document.forms[0].elements[j].name;
field_val = document.forms[0].elements[j].value;
if (field_name.substring(field_name.indexOf(''DEFAULT.'') + 8, field_name.lastIndexOf(''.01'')) == ''CYCLE_END_DATE'') {
var delimPos = field_val.search(/\//i);
if (delimPos < 0)
alert(''Invalid date entry! Please enter in MM/DD/YYYY format. '' +
''e.g, Dec 21, 2003 would be entered as 12/21/2003'');
else
if (field_val.length != 10)
alert(''Invalid date entry! Please Please enter in MM/DD/YYYY format. '' +
''e.g, Jan 1, 2003 would be entered as 01/01/2003'');
else {
month = field_val.substring(0, field_val.indexOf(''/''));
day = field_val.substring(field_val.indexOf(''/'') + 1, field_val.lastIndexOf(''/''));
year = field_val.substring(field_val.lastIndexOf(''/'') + 1, 10);
/* Need to subtract 1 from value because in Javascript, January begins with 0
and ends with 11 for December */
month = month - 1;
ddObj = new Date(year, month, day);
mmObj = new Date(year, month, day);
yyObj = new Date(year, month, day);
if (ddObj.getDate(ddObj.setDate(day)) != day)
alert(''Invalid day!'');
if (mmObj.getMonth(mmObj.setMonth(month)) != month)
alert(''Invalid month!'');
if (mmObj.getYear(mmObj.setYear(year)) != year)
alert(''Invalid year!'');
</SCRIPT>

How to validate when date format is diff Internally and externally

Hello,
How can I validate the Date format if Internal format and external format is different.
Ex :
* SELECT SINGLE CRTSP
**                FROM /SAPSLL/PR
**                INTO L_CRTSP
**                WHERE CRTSP IN S_CRTSP .
CRTSP (YYYY/DD/MM HHMMSEC) Internal Format
S_CRTSP (YYYY/DD/MM) External format - selection option
I had done following to convert the internal format to external format.
DATA : LV_DT TYPE STRING.
DATA : L_CRTSP TYPE /SAPSLL/CRTSP.
SELECT SINGLE CRTSP
                FROM /SAPSLL/PR
                INTO L_CRTSP.
MOVE : L_CRTSP TO LV_DT. "(YYYY/DD/MM HHMMSEC)
L_LEN = STRLEN( LV_DT ).
L_DATE = LV_DT+0(8).
I have the date format that i need in L_DATE." (YYYY/DD/MM)
Now how should I validate?
* SELECT SINGLE CRTSP
**                FROM /SAPSLL/PR
**                INTO L_CRTSP
**                WHERE CRTSP IN S_CRTSP .
Please let me know how can I validate or how can I write the select query to validate this field.
There should be some way using Wildcard or some function module...which I am not sure...
Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Kittu

Hello,
Thank you for youe response and I apprecaite the help so far.
This logic work if it is Parameter...When I have select option it is not working as it is not taking the range values...

       W_LV_DATE1(20) TYPE C.
DATA : W_V(8) TYPE C,
       S_CT(11) TYPE C.
SORT T_PR BY CRTSP CHTSP.
LOOP AT T_PR INTO WA_PR.
W_TEST = WA_PR-CRTSP.
W_LV_LEN = STRLEN( W_TEST ).
W_LV_DATE = W_TEST+0(8).
** IF WE SELECT ONLY ONE DATE IN SELECT OPTION
s_crtsp VALUE IS - IEQ20040101..bY REMOVING FIRST THRID DIGITS
WE ARE GETTING THE S_CRTSP VALUE IS 20040101 AND THIS LOGIC IS WORKING FINE..
   MOVE S_CRTSP TO S_CT.
W_LV_LEN1 = STRLEN( S_CT ).
W_LV_DATE1 = S_CT+3(8).
* IF W_LV_DATE NE S_CRTSP
IF W_LV_DATE NE W_LV_DATE1.
W_FLG = 'X'.
    DELETE T_PR INDEX SY-TABIX.
ENDIF.
CLEAR W_FLG.
ENDLOOP.
Can we do anything for this...
ANy suggestions would be apprecaited!
