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.
Regards,
Chetan.

  • Formatting of output text file.

    I am writing values of variables to a text file.  I also have column headings.  Some of the column headings are long, perhaps 14 characters.  The field for my variable values is only 8 characters long.  Thus I would like to install a tab or two between my column headings so that they line up w my values.  How may I do that? 

    You can specify a length with the format string. 
    So, if the longest string is 14 characters, specify %14s as the format string. Your text will be right justified. If you want the text to appear at the left, use a format specifier of %-14s.
    Don't play around with multiple TABs, it will make the file difficult to read in other apps like Excel.
    Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
    If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.

  • Error with the data format in the TXT file, sending as an Email attachment

    Hi all,
    I have an problem in the data formating in the TXT file while sending as an attachment via an email by using the FM "SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1".
    For eg:
    The data in the TXT file is looking like as follows:
    0 0 0 0 2        L O U D S P E A K R   O T H E R   3 8 W h i t e                  0 0
    0031  L O U D S P E A K R   O T H E R   3 8 Black                               0 000

    L O U D S P E A K R   O T H E R   3 8 Brown                                         0 00042
    and so on
    But it should come as :

  • Download data to Fixed Length Text File

    Can anyone share the sample code on how to download data into fixed length text file and place the file in the server directory?

    One way i would advice is to declare a text variable and move values using offset.
    Eg:
      move: <struc>-fld1 to l_text(8),
            <struc>-fld2 to l_text+8(3),
            <struc>-fld3 to l_text+11(15).
      transfer l_text to <file>.
    Try this approch and see the result.

  • Problem with SQL*Loader and different date formats in the same file

    DB: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
    System: AIX 5.3.0.0
    Hello,
    I'm using SQL*Loader to import semi-colon separated values into a table. The files are delivered to us by a data provider who concatenates data from different sources and this results in us having different date formats within the same file. For example:
    ...;2010-12-31;22/11/1932;...
    I load this data using the following lines in the control file:
    EXECUTIONDATE1     TIMESTAMP     NULLIF EXECUTIONDATE1=BLANKS     "TO_DATE(:EXECUTIONDATE1, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
    DELDOB          TIMESTAMP     NULLIF DELDOB=BLANKS          "TO_DATE(:DELDOB, 'DD/MM/YYYY')",
    The relevant NLS parameters:
    NLS_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
    NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/RR
    NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
    If I load this file as is the values loaded into the table are 31 dec 2010 and 22 nov *2032*, aven though the years are on 4 digits. If I change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to DD/MM/YYYY then the second date value will be loaded correctly, but the first value will be loaded as 31 dec *2020* !!
    How can I get both date values to load correctly?
    Thanks!
    Sylvain

    This is very strange, after running a few tests I realized that if the year is 19XX then it will get loaded as 2019, and if it is 20XX then it will be 2020. I'm guessing it may have something to do with certain env variables that aren't set up properly because I'm fairly sure my SQL*Loader control file is correct... I'll run more tests :-(

  • Convert created idoc to an output text file

    Hi,
    How can i convert an idoc to an output text file? is there a standard program in SAP that does this?
    Thanks,
    Tots

    Hi,
    We can do it.
    The steps are
    1. Create a xml file port (we21)
      2. Create a partner profile point to the file port.
      3. Make sure the idocs are genereated.
    4  . Run the staandard program (RSEOUT001) with the port and required details in teh selection screen.
    The idocs will be generated to a xml file .

  • Mail Adapter: How to send data as a simple text file attachment?

    Hi All
    I have a proxy to file scenario, where i write data to a text file.
    Now, i need to have a second receiver. I have to send an email, with the above file as an attachment, to this receiver.
    How can i do this?
    How can i send the data as a text file attachment to the receiver?
    Many Thanks
    Chandra

    Hi,
    To send the message to the second receiver you need to have:
    1) Necessary mail message format (can download from service marketplace)
    2) Receiver mail communication channel.
    3) Create the necessary Configuration Objects .... Receiver Determination, Interface Determination, Receiver Agreement.
    3) You can do a XSLT mapping (if required)....if no complex logic is needed then you can do a simple Message mapping.
    4) In the receiver CC make sure that you check the Adapter Specific Message Attribute checkbox.
    For more info you can refer my answer in this thread:
    Re: xml in mail
    Also refer the blog:

  • Transfer Data from excel to text file or SAP R/3

    Hi,
    Can anyone please let me know if there is any function module to transfer data from excel to a .txt file.
    I am using a CRM 5.0 system and some standard SAP function modules are missing.
    I want to fetch data from excel to SAP R/3.
    Wish you great time.
    Best Regards
    Sid

    Hi Sid,
    extracting data from an excel sheet to SAP u can use the function module GUI_UPLOAD.
    I am providing u its parameters also as it might be useful to u.
    The mandatory fields here are FILENAME n in TABLES (in which u will be saving ur data).
    and also if u need to download from sap to any file u can use GUI_DOWNLOAD in which u can save data in both excel or txt file.
    U can also use SAP_CONVERT_TO_TEX_FORMAT function module to convert into text file.
    Rewards would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

  • How to export data in to a Text File

    Hi,
    Can anyone provide any guidance of exporting data in an Advanced Table or data of a VO in to a Text File instead of CSV file.
    Thanks

    Exporting 5 mil records is going to require lot of memory and even if you implement, the users are not going to like it.
    May be, you can implement a 'submit' button and when the user clicks submit a concurrent program. This concurrent program will generate the output file.
    You can do other fancy things like displaying the status and to download the file in OAF itself.

  • How to save report data as a plain text file

    running APEX 4.0. I have to extract some query data to send via a text file. I see that my report options are RTF, CSV or XML - is there a way to get it out as TXT?
    The Data Unload does have this option but the data is not from a single table (though I can dump it all into a temp table if this is the only way to export as TXT) but is it possible to have the end user run the Data Unload from an application or is this just a developers option?
    The goal is to have a user be able to run the report and save it as TXT without having to "do" anything other than click a button.

    I put it as a before header process on a blank page - when the page is called from a button, this htp.prn runs, you save the file, and with the
    htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true; at the end, the rest of that page doesn't run.
