Question

Hi All,
We are using 2 different time statements one developed in webdynpro for java and other in webdynpro for abap.date format in java is DD/MM/YYYY but in webdynpro for abap is DD.MM.YYYY.
is DD/MM/YYYY supported in webdynpro for ABAP application or even if user enters DD.MM.YYYY can we convert that to DD/MM/YYYY so that we will maintain uniformity in both the applications
Thanks

Hi Bala,
We can convert the date before saving ,even if the user enters the date as dd.mm.yyyy  as mentioned below.
DATA: lv_indicator type XUDATFM .
CALL FUNCTION 'ISH_GET_USER_DATE'
  EXPORTING
    USER_NAME         = SY-UNAME
  IMPORTING
    DATE_FORMAT       = lv_indicator .
CASE lv_indicator.
    WHEN '1'.                                        " DD.MM.YYYY
      CONCATENATE p_date6(2) '.' p_date4(2) '.'
                  p_date(4)
         INTO p_result.
    WHEN '2'.                                        " MM/DD/YYYY.
      CONCATENATE p_date4(2) '/' p_date6(2) '/'
                  p_date(4)
         INTO p_result.
    WHEN '3'.                                        " MM-DD-YYYY.
      CONCATENATE p_date4(2) '-' p_date6(2) '-'
                  p_date(4)
         INTO p_result.
    WHEN '4'.                                        " YYYY.MM.DD
      CONCATENATE p_date(4) '.'  p_date+4(2) '.'
                  p_date+6(2)
         INTO p_result.
    WHEN '5'.                                        "YYYY/MM/DD
      CONCATENATE p_date(4) '/'   p_date+4(2) '/'
                  p_date+6(2)
         INTO p_result.
    WHEN '6'.                                        "YYYY-MM-DD
      CONCATENATE p_date(4) '-'  p_date+4(2) '-'
                  p_date+6(2)
         INTO p_result.
  ENDCASE.
