Rolling the date on in a specific format

Hello,
I want to output the date in the following format
yyyymmdd
I then want to add a certain number of days to the above date
Can anyone advise the best way to do this
Cheers
Mitch

The formatting of a Date is done with a DateFormat.
The date arithmetic is done with a Calendar.
These are two separate entities. They have nothing to do with each other.
So first you format the Date you have to your choosing.
Then you use a Calendar. Set the Calendar to the Date you had, then do the date arithmetic with the Calendar object. If you need another Date object to reflect the final result, use the getTime() method of the Calendar class.
Have a look at the Date, DateFormat, and Calendar API for more info.

Need to compare if a date belongs to a specific Format ...Any pointers ????

Hi ,
I have used the parse () method mentioned below , however it does not throw an exception or error when i enter date in an incorrect format (or format not mentioned in simpleDateFormat instance )and accepts any date format .
For example , I expected a parse exception when i use dateStr3 which in 'MMddyyyy' format .
String dateStr2 = "031208"; //MMddyy
String dateStr3 = "03122008";//MMddyyyy
try
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat ("MMddyy");
simpleDateFormat.setLenient(false);
Date date2 = simpleDateFormat.parse(dateStr2);
Date date3 = simpleDateFormat.parse(dateStr3);
System.out.println( "Date String 2 is '"+date2 );
System.out.println( "Date String 3 is '"+date3 );
catch(ParseException pe){
pe.printStackTrace();
Any pointers please.

It seems that the java.text.DateFormat class won't help you in this fashion.
It can understand the date it seems. Interesting.
I would keep it - it checks that you have got a valid date, and nobody has tried to put in the 35th of Octember or something stupid like that.
On top of this, you could put a simple check for dateStr.length() == 6 to make sure it is the correct length.

Hi
Try using the DSTR Dynamic Expression function. Add a string field to your form or table and format it using the DSTR function.
It should look something like "=DSTR(@CREAT_DATE,"DD/MM/YYYY")"
You can find more information about date conversion functions in the [Date and Time Functions help page|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/2b/6c37121f28462a8710c0c7493506dd/frameset.htm]

Convert the date of string to datetime format 'MM/dd/yyyy' when the system date format is 'dd/MM/yyyy'.

I need convert the date of string format 'MM/dd/yyyy' to datetime format 'MM/dd/yyyy' when the system date format is 'dd/MM/yyyy'.Since
I need to search values based on date where my database datetime is 'MM/dd/yyyy' format.

In my opinion you should re-consider the assumption that the date picker returns a string. Maybe it is able to return a
DateTime object directly instead of string. Then you will pass this value as a parameter of SQL query. This should work regardless of computer configuration.
Otherwise, follow the previous string-based approaches.

How to get the date in 01-jan-2008 format

hi
how to get the date in 01-jan-2008 format

Check this example of how to get this format..
TABLES: T247.
DATA: V_DATE TYPE SYDATUM.
DATA: V_STRING(20).
V_DATE = SY-DATUM.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM T247
WHERE SPRAS = SY-LANGU
AND MNR = V_DATE+4(2).
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
CONCATENATE V_DATE+6(2) '-' T247-KTX '-' V_DATE(4)
INTO V_STRING.
WRITE: / V_STRING.
ENDIF.
or
make use of this FM
CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_OUTPUT
and see its documentation.
or
/: SET DATE MASK = 'DD-MMM-YYYY'
&DATE&
check with this.
if it is not working try to give space between DD and MMM and YYYY
all of the three work...choose whichever suits u
eg2:
Use FM:CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_OUTPUT
Check this Program.....
DATA:DATE TYPE D VALUE '20070912'.
DATA:DATE2(12) TYPE C.
DATA:FINAL_DATE(15) TYPE C.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_OUTPUT'
EXPORTING
INPUT = DATE
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = DATE2.
CONCATENATE DATE20(2) '-' DATE22(3) '-' DATE2+5(4) INTO
FINAL_DATE.
WRITE:FINAL_DATE.
Eg:3
use FM MONTH_NAMES_GET by passing month_names-spras = 'E'
it will return the Mont names in month_names-KTX ( 3 cha short name ) & month_names-LTX ( Long text ). then concatenate 'DD''-' month_names-KTX & 'YY'
reward points if useful

I would like to programatically set the "Date Unused" on X Scale formatting for time plots.

I can use the X Scale formatting on the front panel, but when I change from time to decimal using property nodes the "date" keeps showing up. How can I turn the date feature off so I just see Time in HH:MMS format?

Disregard. I found the answer. Set the XScale.Format value to 6 (relative Time). feed in total seconds from start of day to the Xo, The reciprocal of data frequency to DeltaX, and set the decimal resolution to 3. This results in a time tagged plot showing just time (no Date).

Converting the DATE(yyyymmdd) into MONTH(yyyymm) format

HAI
I have one date InfoObject(ZDATE) in the format of YYYYMMDD format.
My client wants another 'Month InfoObject(ZMONTH) in the format of YYYYMM . This ZMONTH infoobject should be derived from ZDATE.
So please tell me how can i convert the ZDATE data into ZMONTH format.
I think , it is possible by writing the ABAP code.
Please give the ABAP CODE for converting the ZDATE data into ZMONTH format also .
i wll assing the points
bye
rizwan

Hi Rizwan,
You can use offset like:
zmonth = zdate+0(6)
Zmonth is variable in which yyyymm is going to be stored
and zdate is variable in which yyyymmdd is stored.
I think this will slove your issue.
Thanks=points

Cannot query on a date range (where the date is in a varchar format)

Hi All
Here is my SQL query:
select unique(a.SAP_PO_NUMBER), a.ISSUE_CODE, a.PO_CREATION_DATE
from sspe.vendor_purchase_order a
where a.po_creation_date between to_date('2007-02-01', 'yyyy-mm-dd') and to_date ('2007-08-01', 'yyyy-mm-dd')
and a.ISSUE_CODE like 'OK%'
the po_creation_date field is a varchar(12) field and i get the following error:
ORA-01861: literal does not match format string.
Appreciate any help
Gautam

Try this
select 
DISTINCT(a.SAP_PO_NUMBER), 
a.ISSUE_CODE, 
a.PO_CREATION_DATE 
from 
sspe.vendor_purchase_order a 
where 
TO_DATE(a.po_creation_date,'<DATE_FORMAT>') 
between 
to_date('2007-02-01', 'yyyy-mm-dd') and 
to_date('2007-08-01', 'yyyy-mm-dd') 
and 
a.ISSUE_CODE like 'OK%' 

Good Luck

ABAP Proxies to send the data to PI

I have a scenario to send some data from ECC to Legacy system in flatfile format. I would like to use ABAP client proxies on the ECC side and File receiver adapter to tranmit the data to Legacy system.
I tried various sample scenarios and know how to send simple data using ABAP report program(which triggers the client proxy from ECC).
But the question is if I have to read SAP data files and send the data conditionally based on certain criteria to the other Legacy system. How do we write the ABAP code with in the ABAP Proxie program? Can any body share the real time coding procedure to achieve this. I am not good at ABAP.
I absolutely have good idea how we can configure on the receiver side.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
If I want to transfer only specific data from various SAP database files from ECC and then triggering the ABAP client proxy in the ABAP report program
There are various ways to do this. Create a class that can call reports(forms) for various legacy system say L1, L2 and L3. now create 3 reports each for the systems .
In XI create a generic structure which can satisfy L1, L2 & L3 and generate the proxy for this structure.
now in reports for L1 pass the data from ERP tables specific to L1 and use the client proxy report to pass the data to XI and deliver the flat file. Similarly for others you can do
now at XI you do conditional receiver determination. Identify the condition from the payload that can distinguish L1, L2 & L3. based on this you can pass the data to defined receiver.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Gaurav
