Regarding the dates to retrieve the required records.

Question

Hi,
       In the selection screen, i have radiobuttons for reporting period like ALL, PAST, FUTURE, TODAY,OTHERKEYDATE ,e.tc.
My report should run for the date which i have selected on the selection screen.
For today, we can write the condition as
                      Begda < = sy-datum and enda > = sy-datum.
But i have to write in general for everydate which i selected.
I am writing report for OM. i am not using PCH LDB.
if i use LDB , i can write Begda < = pnp-enda and endda >= pnp-enda.
But iam not using the LDB PCH.
how to write query to retreive the required date.

Answer 1

hi,
let us say your radio buttons have the name as follows:
P_ALL  -> for all
P_TODAY -. for only today
P_PAST -. for all dates in past from today.(not including today)
P_FUTURE -> for all dates in FUTURE from today( not including today)
P_OTHERKEYDATE -> for any other date that  user enters.
*Logic:
if P_ALL = 'X'.
code is as such the program runs for all records irrespective of dates.
elseif  P_TODAY = 'X'.
p_date = sy-datum. " this p_date is a variable used to hold today's date.
now code it so that it runs only for the records having date = p_date.
elseif P_PAST = 'X'.
*write code to pick all the dates which are in past , I don't know what you have as begin and end dates and what they for, use the begin and end dates to calculate past dates and run the code only for those past dates.
elseif P_FUTURE = 'X'.
*do as done in past,for future dates.
else p_date = otherkeydate "hope this is entered by user somewhere on the screen.
*run the code for only that p_date.
endif.
