Hi Matt,
so you are not using a standard date field or any other characteristic that refers to 0date, aren't you? If that is the case, just do the following in a routine:
replace all occurrences of '/' in tran_structure-<your date field> with '.' into result.
If you are using a standard date field which is always displayed as dd.mm.yy you need to convert it into the internal sap value which is yyyymmdd. You can achieve that by calling the fm CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL in a routine:
call function 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'
exporting date_external = tran_structure-<your date field>
importing date_internal = result
exceptions date_external_is_invalid = 1.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
a action needs to be done, because the date was not valid.
clear result.
endif.
kind regards
Siggi

  • Transfer Rule Routine: Assign Date Value into Blank Field

    Can anyone help me with regards to writing some ABAP code in a transfer rule so that I can assign "99991231" value into a date characteristics if it is blank?
    Many thanks for advance.

    I would like to check if the value of EXPIRYDATE is blank in data source. If its value is blank, assign '99991231' to it. Otherwise, it will get the value of EXPIRYDATE in transfer rule. I have rewritten the routine as follows. But there is no effects on the result.
    if TRAN_STRUCTURE-EXPIRYDATE IS INITIAL.
      RESULT = '99991231'.
    else.
      RESULT = TRAN_STRUCTURE-EXPIRYDATE.
    endif.
    Many thanks in advance.

  • How to change date format in BR?

    Hi all!
    Does anybody know how to change date format in BR?
    I created global variable with type DateAsNumber and usage type run-time promt and used it in BR
    Then I launched a BR on the form and chose necessary date. Date stored in MM/DD/YYYY format, but I need DD/MM/YYYY.
    I tried to change format through Planning but then I recieved uncorect result(for instance, I selected 4(April)/14/2009 but it was stored as 4/02/2010)

    Hi,
    the date is always stored the same in Essbase. I think it's YYYYMMDD.
    You can change the format you enter the date in webforms and business rules by changing your planning application settings (Preferences->Display Options).
    Cheers.

  • Change Date Format in MSDS report

    SAP EHS expert:
    I would like to change Date Format when printing MSDS in different languages. For example, print date in MM.DD.YYYY format when printing MSDS in English, but print date in YYYY. MM.

  • How to change Data Format

    I'm using Sql Developer vers. 1.1.2. for Oracle 8.1.7 and I can't change Data Format. Even if first I run "alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD/MM/YYYY';" and after I run "select data_field from table;" in the SQL Worksheet, it goes on reporting the field in format "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS". It seems to me as if the "alter session" doesn't work.
    I've got a problem with decimal separator too. I mean when I run "select salary_field from table;" and the item is for example 2300,32 the report gets null column even if I've set Decimal Separator to "," from Tools>NSL Parameters>Decimal Separator.
    I need help.
    Thanks in advance
    Marco

    Marco,
    It isn't really a great help, as you need to access 8.1.7, but the current version doesn't have this problem - it uses the current NLS_DATE_FORMAT setting to format the date, regardless of the NLS preferences.
    I have vague memories (1.1.2 has largely faded from my memory) that when they first introduced the NLS preferences that they took precedence over the DB NLS settings (ie date formatted in SQL Developer based on NLS preferences).
    On the decimal separator, I have other vague memories of problems if you didn't set both the Decimal and Group separator, although a quick search on the forum didn't highlight something that seemed the same as your problem. After logging on (ie with the NLS preferences as the DB NLS settings), what do you get if you the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS parameter in the NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS view? This should have two characters - the first one being the decimal separator and the second being the group separator.

  • How to change date format in OBIEE

    Hello
    I have a need to change the date column to a varchar column in OBIEE..
    The date column stores data in the format of 'YYYY/MM/DD', I need to change this to a varchar column with this format 'YYYYMM'..
    Since I am pointing directly at the transactional database, I can't make any changes at the database level, so I will have to do it in OBIEE layer, any ideas how it could be done?
