LSMW - Read Data vs Convert Date for DATES

Hi everybody,
I have a problem with my LSMW for a date field.
In the .txt file it is defined as 01.01.1900.
(I can change it, e.g. make 01011900 but at the end SAP wants to have 01.01.1900 as input)
In the 'Maintain Source Fields' of my LSMW I defined it as a DDMY(010) field.
When 'Reading the Data' you can choose to check Date Value -> YYYYMMDD
When I check it, it gives:
For 'Display Read Data': 19000101
And after 'Convert Data' : 01011900
When I don't check it, it gives:
For 'Display Read Data': 01.01.1900
And after 'Convert Data' : 191.01.0 (?!?)
The fact is that in SAP it needs to be in following format: 01.01.1900 (so DD.MM.YYYY) so none of both solutions is right.
Can anybody tell me how I should configure this LSMW that I can transfer dates properly?
Thank you very much!
Kind Regards,
Caroline

Hi Caroline,
before doing upload change ur system settings to yyyy.mm.dd (just go to menu bar click on System->user profile->own data in this go for default ) and save it and do log off and log in ,
and then go for source fields and specify the Date field length as 8 char,
and then in mapping step for that particular field write the code as per the below
just change as per ur Target structure and Source structure and field name .
Make sure that in ur input file the Date field is in the format of yyyy.mm.dd
if not as91_ztable-AKTIV is initial.
replace '.' with '' into as91_ztable-AKTIV.
replace '.' with '' into as91_ztable-AKTIV.
condense as91_ztable-AKTIV no-gaps.
BALTD-AKTIV = AS91_ZTABLE-AKTIV.
else.
baltd-aktiv = '/'.
endif.
Thanks

Mixed Data Type Table Control for Data Entry

Hi Guys --
I'm attempting to do error-checked data entry,
My data is mixed: path, boolean, and numeric. The natural organization is an array of clusters. For instance, the cluster element would look like "path, boolean, numeric, numeric" and I would have many rows of this data cluster. To further complicate things I have to dynamically define the number of numeric elements in the cluster (tricky already) and also dynamically define the length of the array.
I find the table control to be ideal to handle the dynamic nature of the data for editing. I can easily use scroll bars to navigate to the appropriate part of the data. I can delete rows and columns etc.
On the other hand, the table can only handle string data. I find that doing data checking and type conversion on the table elements to be extremely cumbersome.
I think what I'm looking for is a Table Control with ability to handle controls as elements. From what I've read in this list and personally experienced, that functionality doesn't exist.
Does LV have in-built functionality that I'm overlooking to resolve this problem? Is there a third-party library that would do the job?
Thanks,
John

Hi Ben --
I think perhaps that I wasn't clear in my description.
As I pointed out, my data is organized naturally as an Array of Clusters. More descriptively, my data looks like spreadsheet data; some text, some numbers. I need to add rows and columns dynamically. I need to be able to resize column widths dynamically... and while the program is executing.
The Table Control does all of this. The intuitive way that the Table Control permits a user to enter data is also good for my user. The Array of Cluster data looks like spreadsheet data and a Table looks close enough to a spreadsheet. A Table permits one to insert and delete rows, resize columns widths, and scroll around.
I don't see that I get these features with an Array of Clusters Control.
The issue with the Table Control is the lack of in-built data types, so I spend an inordinate amount of time doing type-conversion and range-checking.
At this point I'm pretty much convinced that LV doesn't have the in-built capability that I'm looking for.
I am curious if there are any LV libraries or Active-X controls somewhere that would implement the functionality that I require?

Looking for a method that reads in a whole row for data rather than using getString();

Hi,
I'm using java to read from oracle and Netezza and I'm wondering:
Is there a method for capturing a row in a variable in order to print that entire row out to a data file or a UNIX file in this case.
Right now I have this code I'm working with:
//STEP 4: Execute a query
System.out.println("Creating statement...");
stmt = connection.createStatement();
String sql;
sql = "SELECT SRC_ID, SRC_CD, SRC_DSC, CKA_SUB_ID FROM SRC";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
//STEP 5: Extract data from result set
while(rs.next()){
//Retrieve by column name
String SRC_ID = rs.getString("SRC_ID");
String FIRST_ROW = SRC_ID+", "+SRC_CD+", "+SRC_DSC+", "+CKA_SUB_ID;
//Display values
System.out.print("SRC_ID: " + SRC_ID);
System.out.println(", FIRST_ROW: " + FIRST_ROW);
Is there a way I can replace the getString with a "getRow"?
Right now the best I can do is to create and use the FIRST_ROW variable. However I want to be able to do this generically so I can read different tables and write them to data files.
Thanks!

No - there is no such 'ROW' entity in Oracle.
Download and use Oracle's free Sql Developer and you can use a simple query like this:
select /*csv*/ * from SCOTT.EMP
That will produce a comma-delimited result set with one record for each row. Then you can save the result set to a file.
Oracle SQL Developer Downloads
See this article by Jeff Smith that shows how to get result sets as CSV (and several other) formatted data.

Trying to find epoch dates and convert them to dates

I'm trying to find every epoch time in a string and convert them to a date. I have tried the below with no luck.

Hi,
I was not able to copy-and-paste your example due to unknown characters (which are displayed as squares on my Ubuntu laptop).
I modified them replacing those characters by spaces.
Maybe that won't totally fit your needs, or might behave differently on your system.
Anyway, I propose the following :Scott@my11g SQL>l

Blank field getting converted into wrong date

Dear All,
I have one date field in SAP table in which there are some entries and some blank entries.
when Proxy is sending this data from ECC blank entries are converted into 00000000 and through XI in file
this
00000000 entry for date getting converted into wrong date like 30.11.0002 in file.
I have taken data type as string do I need to take data type as date.
My doubt is if there is no entry in table why it is convertng to 00000000 and after passing from XI why it is converting into
30.11.0002 .
Regards

Hi ,
My date format like this
source --yyyyMMDD
target-DD.MM.YYYY
so if
source is
00000000
should comes like this
target
00.00.0000
but it is converting into
30.11.0002
every where in file values for 00000000 is coming like 30.11.0002

Effective format for dates in a JFormattedTextField

Hello!
How can I configure a JFormattedTextField to accept dates while showing the mask for dates? I mean, the first time, when the field is empty, it shows only the mask: __/__/___. When the user edit the field it automatically skips the literal characters, going to the place of the numbers. I don't want to force the user to type the date separator characters. I don't want to do just something like this:
DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
DateFormatter df = new DateFormatter(format);
JFormattedTextField ftf1 = new JFormattedTextField(df);
ftf1.setValue(new Date());This code doesn't really adds the '/' as a mask.
Thank you.
Marcos

Like a mentioned before there is are data pickers out
there that make is one line for the programmer and
even easier for the user. (Who want to type in a
date).I don't want to user thirdy party components just to handle dates.
Basic things should be simple. Why?Because we do them all the time. The Java language is simple. I'm just complaining about the Swing API.
In programming, I have found that instead that things
that should be simple normally aren't.
I agree with you, but a component that just accept dates with a mask for dates is a simple thing today and always will be. Why don't provide an easy way for you to accomplish this?
Everyday things should be simple.
Why this API is so taugh? I don't know what taugh means.
I mean hard to use.
It s a pain to program in Swing, it even hurts. Have you ever tried AWT?,
We loose a big time searching for ways to do simplethings.
Sorry to here, that, but it sounds like a personal
problem. Use, the API, the tutorials, and pratice
practice pratice.
I think that Swing, even with its problems, is the right visual api to use. I'm just saying that it makes you write lots of code to things that could be done with less code.
I think you will find that Swing's inabitlity to be
simple allows it to be very flexiable.
I know, its flexible, but most of the time we don't need the flexibility that it offers. Most of the time we are doing basic things and should use its flexibility only when needed.

LSMW Read Data shortdump

Hi guys..
I'm currently testing out on LSMW
I'm trying to create new material for transaction MM01.

Convert string to date for Ms Access

I have some date in a textFile!!!
I get them via Buffered and FileReader into my java application and put them into a Vector!
Every date is formatted as Strings and I want to convert them into a date format(YYYYMMDD).
The date are not used for " System.out.println", but I want to insert them into a Access-database(use a jdbc/odbc bridge).
The Access database seems only to accept YYYY-MM-DD, the only formatting way is how you choose to "show" the dates (short, long etc) but anyway....(:-)
I�ve tried following example with format.getTime() and it works. But I want to insert the date from
my textfiles instead.
Here some examples from my code with the getTime()method!!!
String str = String.valueOf(fields.get(3));
String ar = str.substring(0,4)+"-";
String m = str.substring(4,6)+"-";
String d = str.substring(6,8);
String datum = ar+m+d; //this is my date in a String format!!!
Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
Date date = calendar.getTime();//this objectref. takes the sys.date i want my string date instead(:-)
DateFormat localFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance();
DateFormat format1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd" );//the only format for Access I think!
for (int j=0; j<(fields.size()-1); j++){//pos. from my vector
sql = sql + "'" + fields.get(j) + "'" + "," ;
sql = sql + "'" + format1.format( date ) "'" ; //the last field i the db
db myTest = new db();
myTest.executeDML("insert into tblBooks values "+sql+")");
Sorry for my "bumpy" English(:-) And thanks! Eva

If you tell us what the format if the dates in the file is, we might be able to suggest something :)

Best Practices for converting SAP HR data (4.7 to ECC)

Hello Experts ...
We are going from 4.6 to ECC ... no upgrade ..it will be a new implementation ...
I am looking for best practices to convert SAP HR data from one sap instance(4.6) to another(ECC) ...
I am not sure if direct input or LSMW or any other method/tool is the best way ...
Will really appreciate and award point if I can get good advise or documentation ...
Let me know if my question is not clear enough.
Thanks,

Hi
You can check SAP Marketplace and there follow the download link. You will require a SAP Marketplace login to download the Best Practices. Fortunately Best practices for ECC 5.00 and 6.00 are available there but they are country specific versions. I know HCM for US is available there.
Reward points, if helpful.

LSMW Read Data behaving differently in production and in ECC

Hi All,
I have writte a LSMW for CJ12 longtext and it is working fine in development but in production it giving error message at 13th step as BDC_INSERT, Transaction code .. is invalid and when i try to simulate the issue i found that in Read Data step i found the difference as transactions read in development are 399 where as the transactions read in production are 267 for the same file.And i debugged the Display Read program and observed that the read program used GUI_UPLOAD to read the data from the text file.and there itself the GUI_UPLOAD internal table contains 399 in development and 267 in production.I tried to simulate why this is happening but coldn't figure out.Can any one help me why this has happened.And we are using ECC6 with EHP4 in development and EHP3 in production and it has to upgrade to EHP4.

if you are really certain about the source file (I doupt too) then there are only 2 more possibilities
a) your LSMW object is different (transport it again from developement to production, only so you can be sure that LSMW object and source will be the same)
b) a real SAP error because of different release levels. Open a ticket at SAP to get help.

User enters the paremter for the year, need help converting that to date

Hello!
I have a report that asks for the user what data they want to see based on the year. They will then enter 2007 for example. My problem is that when I use that parameter in the where clause I get an error -
ORA-01722 Invalid Number
Here is the line of code -
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR (TO_CHAR(req.open_date,'YYYY') ) = (TO_CHAR(:p_year,'YYYY')))
The :p_year is what I am referring to, I know if I hard code 2007 in there it works just fine. I've tired converting it to a char, converting it to a date, and even converting to a date and back to a char, but it is not working.
Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks!!

It all depends whether your input parameter is NUMBER, CHAR, DATE or SOMETHING_ELSE.
a) NUMBER
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR
 TO_CHAR(req.open_date,'YYYY') = TO_CHAR(:p_year,'FM9999')
 )b)STRING
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR
 TO_CHAR(req.open_date,'YYYY') = TRIM(:p_year)
 )c) DATE assumption then is 01.01. of this year)
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR
 trunc(req.open_date,'year') = :p_year
 )d) something else - like not a bind variable but literal or script parameter
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR
 (req.open_date >= to_date('01/01/&p_year','dd/mm/yyyy') AND
 req.open_date < to_date('31/12/&p_year','dd/mm/yyyy')+1
 )
