Logic based on Date on Selection-Screen

Dear friends,
I've been writing a report in which I have the date field on selection-screen. By default I have been displaying the system date on the selection-screen.
The reqiurement is that the user cannot execute the code for a date in past (less than the system date) or cannot give a date less than the sytem date
but can execute the same for a date in future (greater than the system date).
Can any one give me the logic for the same.
Regards,
Alok.

Hi
This is the code for u.
PARAMETERS : P_DATE TYPE SY-DATUM .
INITIALIZATION.
MOVE SY-DATUM TO P_dATE.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON P_DATE.
   IF P_DATE < SY-DATUM.
              MESSAGE 'Entered date cannot be in Past' Type 'E'.
**Raise any message that u created otherwise
   ENDIF.

HOW TO PASS THE DATA FROM SELECTION SCREEN TO STANDARD TRANSACTION?

HI,
HOW TO PASS THE DATA FROM SELECTION SCREEN TO STANDARD TRANSACTION?
thanks,
samba.

By selection screen, what do you mean? There is no selection screen in WDA as there was in classic dynpro. Do you mean you are using the Select-Options reusable component? Are you wanting to call a standard transaction via ITS - SAPGUI for HTML? Please provide more details to your question.

Question on Logic of seperation in OOAbap-Selection screen

Hello guys
I like to ask you one question i found and get your ideas.
If you look at the codes for creating an ALV
it always recommends you to seperate logic and business layer etc..
this is the new way of creating an ALV
So you have a model view and a controller
I implemented that following useful resources.
So that there s class called view
and the selection screen gets called from there inside the method
like
    call SELECTION-SCREEN 100.
     IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
     ENDIF.
But one issue when you execute the report and press GO BACK standard button it doesnot come back to your selection screen but way to your code.
Is there a get around to that?
here is the code below:
Header 1
*& Report ZZ_SOLEN_FIRST
REPORT ZZ_SOLEN_FIRST.
DATA: gv_vbeln type vbap-Vbeln.
***Screen
SELECTION-SCREEN: BEGIN OF SCREEN 100 TITLE t-004.
SELECTION-SCREEN: BEGIN OF block aa WITH FRAME TITLE t-001.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_vbeln FOR gv_vbeln.
SELECTion-SCREEN: END OF block aa.

Dynamic Creation of Columns based on Date from variable screen

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to create the Columns dynamically?
My requirement is,
for eg if the user selects the dates from 23Aug2008 to March2010 in variable screen, then in the output I should be able to drilldown and see the individual months data i.e., from Aug2008 to March2010 (20 columns).
If the user selects March2009 to November2009 (9 columns)
Is it possible to display in output like this?
Is it possible to create columns dynamically(based on the period selected) in the output?
Kindly help.
Thanks,
Guru

Default date on selection-screen.

Hi ABAPers,
My requirement is that, i have one period(date) select-option in my selection screen.
Now the problem was basing on the month the first and last date of that particular month should be initialised.
For Ex:- present month was may, so in selection screen the date should be,
PERIOD    05/01/2007    TO   05/31/2007
Can any one send me the code for that.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
you can use this code just copy paste and run

                                 s_date-option = 'EQ'.
                                 s_date-low = sy-datum.
                                 s_date-low+6(2) = '01'.
                                 s_date-sign   = 'I'.
                                 s_date-option = 'EQ'.
                                 s_date-high = sy-datum - l_date+6(2) .
                                 s_date-high4(2) = s_date-high4(2).

Hi,
You can achieve this using Boolean type transient variable.

and in process for request method of controller class. set the value of this transient variable as true or false based on the condition

REGUH-LAUFD is the date that the payment run has created. There is no such foreign key check for this date. If you want, you create your own table and do your checks but not advisable.
What is your requirement anyway?

My report runs in batch job with a variant, daily.
One of the filed in selction screen should hv CURRENT DATE, with out providing as input explicitly by user.
So, How Can I get it done?
Its some thing with Dynamic variants + Selection Variables + date selection, but, I forgot the navigation etc.
pl. let me know
thanq

thanq.
and pls. let me further clarify that,
programitically am populating the date as current date minus 1 in the field of my_date in the selection screen.
now, they wanna to run the report in back ground, daily.
now, I followed ur tip/link and saved with_date_variant, fine.
so, pls. let me know that,

Validate the data in the internal table with the date in selection screen

Hi all,
I want to validate the data in the internal table and get only the records with the input date in the selection screen.
The date is in the select options and please let me know how to get the records only if it satisfies the input date in the selection screen.
Regards,
Shalem

For Ex.
SELECT-OPTIONS: S_DATE FOR VBAK-VDATU
If you want to read one INTERNAL TABLE record
READ TABLE it_tab(internal table name) WHERE vdatu(date field name in the internal table) = s_date
If you want to move more then one
LOOP AT it_tab WHERE vdatu = s_date.
Take the field values in another table and append it. then end loop.
you will get the records which only have the date in select option..
If you want detail code give me internal table name and select option name i will write you the code.

Yuvaram

Why am I not able to pass the dates????? Tried directly passing then passing as range but still it takes the default date.
        submit rkaep000 via selection-screen
               WITH p_tcode = 'KOB2'
               WITH aufnr   in r_aufnr
             WITH r_obdat in r_date
                WITH r_obdat-low EQ '01032003'
                WITH r_obdat-high EQ '01032007'
                WITH p_disvar = 'SCORP 1404'
               to sap-spool spool parameters params
               without spool dynpro
               and return .

if r_obdat is a select option have you also tried:
r_date-low = '20030301'.
r_date-high = '20070301'.
r_date-sign = 'I'.
r_date-option = 'BT'.
append r_date.
submit rkaep000 via selection-screen
WITH p_tcode = 'KOB2'
WITH aufnr in r_aufnr
WITH r_obdat in r_date
WITH p_disvar = 'SCORP 1404'
to sap-spool spool parameters params
without spool dynpro
and return .

CS4: can I apply logic based on data merge?

Hello all,
I'm creating an InDesign document using CS4 that has variable text in it. Some of that variable text is "static", in that it's inserted directly from a data merge. In other cases, though, I'd like to display one block of text (I'd specify) if an element in the data merge had one value and another block of text if the data merge element had a different value. Can I do that with a script? Here's an example: in the data merge file I have a "WorkingHours" element. It can have a value of either "8-5" or "24x7". If the value is "8-5" I want to display "8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday - Friday" and if the value is "24x7" I want to display "24 hours, 7 days a week". I want the text to display in a cell in a table in my document.
If I can do this, do I just create the script, save it, then select it via the data merge panel to insert it in the cell where I want the output data to be displayed?
Thanks a lot,
Ed

Hi, Ed:
It's probably more conventional to perform this kind of logic when creating the source material for the merge, However, if the text items "8-5" and "24x7" will always require the exact substitution that you describe, you can probably create a GREP paragraph style for the cells that expect the content that needs substitution. I'm not a GREPper, but perhaps a GREP guru on this forum will suggest the proper notation to make it happen...automatically, of course. The GREP action will ignore any paragraph that lacks the exact item to be substituted.
