Query regarding date format in BIP

Hi
1. Is there a way to find the date format which is set in the parameter.
for eg.- Suppose there is a parameter Startdate mentioned in the format dd-mm-yyyy. If user chooses Startdate: dd-mm-yyyy, can we find the format, so that we can always convert it to one standard dd-mon-yyyy format?
2. Is there a way to always convert the date to standard dd-mon-yyyy format in BI . Is there an option in BI to do this?
Thanks
Amit

Amit,
Get your date in this format in XML.
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+HH:MM
Then there are lot of functions, you can apply on this to get the formatted date you wanted.

Urgent ......regarding date format in SAP Script

In my MAIN WINDOW I have date fields like Date of Manifacture, created date and Expiry date.
So, currently I am using SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM' and it is printing same format for all fields.
But now my requirement is I want to show date for Expiry Date like 'YYYY-MM-DD'. For this I defined one temparary variable in the form like below

Hi Kishore kumar,
What you can do is befor printing the Expiry date set the date Mask as 'YYYY-MM-DD' and after printing your Expiry Date again set the DATE MASK to 'YYYY-MM'
i.e.
/: SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM-DD'
&mchar-vfdat&
/: SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM'

Regarding Date format in output text file

Hi Frnds,
i am taking the data from vbak table into one internal table T_vbak, in that i am having vdatu field also, and after that using GUI_Download function module i am downloading that internal table data to one text file into presentation server.
But the date format is displaying in yyyymmdd format in the text file, but i want the format like mm/dd/yyyy in the text file, can anybody plz help me....

Hey Bala,
You can use the following conversion routine for converting the date from yyyymmdd format into mm/dd/yyyy.
data: l_date(10) type c.
Loop at t_vbak into wa_vbak.
CONCATENATE wa_vbak-vdatu4(2) wa_vbak-vdatu6(2) wa_vbak-vdatu(4) INTO l_date SEPARATED BY '/'.
wa_vbak-vdatu = l_date.
modify t_vbak from wa_vbak.
Endloop.

Chetan.

Regarding Date format in Reports.

Hi All,
I want to change the Date format in BEx reports. Currently I am getting MM DD YYYY. But I need it as DD MM YYYY. I had gone thru numerous posting on this issue. I changed the Date Settings in SU3. But still I am not getting the Date in correct format. Is there any other place that I have to correct the Date format???
Regards
Jay

Jayanth,
I feel in your case, going to the System (in menu)-User Profile-Own data then, you get, Maintain user profile. Here you have the option of Maintaining, Date format.
Hope this helps....

Query on Date Format

Our customer wishes all the dates to accepted & displayed in the format dd-mmm-yy format (E.g. 10-Oct-11), both on the screen and in reports. How to change the date format? What are the implications of the change in date format. The system is still in the BPP phase. The reason for this customer request is that, they are worried that when they download any report into Excel format, the date will appear in the mm-dd-yyyy format, if it is accepted in SAP in dd-mm-yyyy format. Is this true? I am a bit confused. Please help me.
-Shambvi

Hi Shambvi,
You can change it based on user name via SU3 (Su01) - defaults - Date format.
It is only representation, so doesn't have an impact on system in general.
To change it system wide, go to SPRO - SAP Netweaver - General settings - Set countries - Define countries - Double click relevant country code - change date format.

" Query regarding Data transfer from Bi to BO Tool "

Dear Friends,
I am having a query. I have created a Info-cube and established the universe on the top of the Info-cube.The Dat is coming in the Bi system. When I created a new Webi-report the Data from the ino-cube in the universe is not reflecting the Webi-report .
Can anyone tell me the solution for the Data Load in the Webi-report .

Hi,
There are two ways to design universe on top of cube/Query.
1)Olap Universe :Please go through by below link for how to create mdx universe.by this way create one connection and select cube or query and by default designer will replicate cube/query in the universe.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/903a7fc7-19e8-2d10-fa95-b050de946b61?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
2) Create Data federator project on top of Cube and then design universe.
To pull data in the webi report create universe then select objects and run the query.If data is available in the cube or query that will come in the webi report.
I have already said webi report pull data at run time.there is no need or no way to load data in the universe or webi.
Design a universe and create webi or deski report on top of universe.
For more information you can search on net can be found documents how to create report.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Amit

Hello Kishore,
Did u see in which format SAP stores date values:)) Its in YYYYMMDD.
Now use this bit of code,
DATA: L_V_DATE TYPE CHAR10.
CONCATENATE V_DATE+6(2) "Date
                          V_DATE+4(2) "Month
                          V_DATE+0(4) "Year
INTO                   L_V_DATE.
Sorry Kishore i dint go through the prev post. If you need to update this value to SAP database simply use UPDATE stmt, SAP takes care of this internally. If u need to print this value then use the variable L_V_DATE.

Regarding date format changes

Hi All,
I have a date variable.
Th date variable is v_doc_date which is declared like SY-DATUM.
I will get value into that variable in format DDMMYYYY EX: 18072005 now i want make that variable as 18.07.2005 through Function module.
Can any body tell me how can we convert DDMMYYYY into DD.MM.YYYY through function module.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Rayeez.

Hi,
If you are writing it on the screen - use edit mask.
eg: write v_doc_date using edit mask '__.__.____'.
Or use this piece of code.
data: v_date(10),
 v_doc_date like sy-datum.
 v_date0(2) = v_doc_date6(2).
 v_date+2(1) = '.'.
 v_date3(2) = v_doc_date4(2).
 v_date+5(1) = '.'.
 v_date6(4) = v_doc_date0(4).
If you have to change the date in many places, just put this in a form and call it.

dd/mm/yyyy format in refdate item
plz help me out ....
Edited by: Navdeep Kaur on Jul 27, 2009 10:08 PM

Navdeep,
I wrote DD/MM/RRRR not DD/MM/YYYY. If you use RRRR instead of YYYY, then the user can enter 2 digit year, and it will automatically convert to 4 digit year.

Query regarding data extraction

Hello All,
I am new to ABAP development. I have been assigned to work on a report, where I have to fetch data for a SC, which will be extracted into an flat file.
Now my requirement is as below:
Each shopping cart will have a number of different records. The records are of the following types
Header – Marked with record type = “HEAD”
Line item – Marked with record type = ”ITEM”
Accounting line – Marked with record type = ”ACC”
Approval record – Marked with record type = ”APP”
Now in this manner I have to fetch the data in an single flat file. Now I am really confused how I am going to do it. I have the tables for header, item, accounting line, approval records. Now my question is am I have to 1st fetch data for header then line then accounts and approval then join this into my final internal table?? Is this the correct approach?
I am a beginner and your help will be highly appreciated.
I have attached a flat file for your reference.
Regards,
Sarnava

So long as you have some unique identifier between each of these tables this shouldn't be a problem. I of course can't see what data you have in the tables but lets say for example you have an account number, then you can create your flat file something like this:
head,account123,headfield1,headfield2... etc
item,account123,itemfld1,itemdfld2,....etc
item,account123,itemfld1,itemdfld2,....etc
then the same logic of course for the other two lines i.e. the first part of the line is a field which contains "head" or "item" or "acc" or "app", then the unique identifier and then the rest of the records. And you can make it comma seperated or whatever you want. The user picking this up can then also sort it.

In that Program the file path was hard coded. Can you let me know the alternate way so that I can avoid hard coding.
The thing is that that report should be scheduled for every night.
