Want to extract month from a date !! how ??

Hi,
I am trying to group records in an ALV report based on a date field. I want to actually group them based on the month !! How can I determine/extract the month and group by it in my ABAP program.
For. e.g. if the user choose a date range in the selection criteria such as 10/10/2005 to 11/20/2005 then I want the data to be displayed as two groups , one for each month !!
thanks

I would suggest breaking the month into another field. When building your ITAB which will be used in the ALV, add another field to the ITAB called MONTH.  Before appending the line to the ITAB, break the month off and put it in this field.
itab-datum = some_date.
itab-month = some_date+4(2).
append itab.
Now you have the month by itself, you can now group and subtotal by the month.

  • Extracting Year from the date field

    Hi,
    I want to extract year from the date field... I've tried following code but got the error

    What error did you get?
    maybe your column name is wrong? Is it really A_somthing? This is possible but slightly unusual.
    also possible
    select extract(Year from sysdate) from dual;
    /* with your table and column */

    Sethil,
    Use your date(let us say Date1) instead of sy-datum.
    CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_NAMES_GET'
    EXPORTING
    LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU
    IMPORTING
    RETURN_CODE =
    TABLES
    MONTH_NAMES = itab_month
    EXCEPTIONS
    MONTH_NAMES_NOT_FOUND = 1
    OTHERS = 2
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
    WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
    ENDIF.
    READ TABLE itab_month
    WITH KEY MNR = date1+4(2).
    itab_month-LTX will contain the value you are looking for
    Good luck

  • Select extract(month from sysdate)+6 = returns 13 and not 1(jan)

    Hi
    I am using the following query to get the month 6 months from now.
    select extract(month from sysdate)+6
    from dualHow can I say that the month should be 6 months from todays month? It worked all these days because this month + 6 was always a valid month. Now it returns 13.

    When I run the following, I get '1'. I am expecting '01'. What am I doing wrong here?
    SELECT substr(lpad(to_number(to_char(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE, 6),'MM')),2),1,2) FROM DUAL;
    I need number - so using to_number. I need to extract the month, so using to_char. If someone could help me get 2 digits for the month and simplify the query if possible - would be great.
    The table has month and date stored as number (bad idea I know but thats how it is). Now for January 31, it is stored as 131. For 15 Feb it is 215. What I need is give me records where the month is 6 months from now. Something like:
    to_number(substr(lpad(tbl1.monthdt, 4, '0'), 1, 2)) in
    substr(lpad(to_number(to_char(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE, 6),'MM')),2),1,2)Message was edited by:

  • Urgent pl.  I want to extract float from string (%f %s) or (%s %f) separate

    I want to extract float from string (%f %s) or (%s %f) separated by tab, whitespace etc., Since I am using jdk1.3.1 I can't use regular expression can anybody suggest a simple (one or two or few line code - compact) to get the float in (sign+/-)#.#### format ignoring other characters ?
    I tried:
    e.g.,
    String d="4.000 [tab]4";
    source string resulted from "SUBSTRING query of mySQL" can be of :
    " -4.543 XYZ ",
    " XYZ -4.546 ",
    " xx-yy 6.58 3 ",
    "6.0 xxx yyy zzz",
    the expected results for float from the string should be:
    -4.543
    -4.546
    6.580
    6.000
    If String containing data separated by comma:
    e.g.,
    "4.120     1     ,
    AAXXFE     ,4.206     1     ,
         4.000     1,
         4.201     1,
         4.189     1,
         4.204     1,
    S     DDERSF-RSA"
    The result should be: "4.120,4.206,4.000,4.201,4.189,4.204,0.000"
    The string is created by:
    ResultSet rs1 = stmt.executeQuery(S1);
    while (rs1.next()) {  
    String d = rs1.getString("SUBSTRING(FIELD1,LOCATE(\""+s2[i]+"\",FIELD1)+"+ k_st + ","+ length+")");
    System.out.print(d+",");
    May be I don't know how to use the following:
    float f1 = Float.parseFloat(d);
    ===
    String pattern = "###.###";
    //float value = -2100.578f;
    DecimalFormat myFormatter = new DecimalFormat(pattern);
    String output = myFormatter.format(d);
    System.out.println(d+" " + pattern + " " + output);
    ===

    Hi
    You made the best choice. JRegex is closer to java.util.regex.* and fine works with excellent performance in any JVM version so you can use examples/tutorials from both JRegex and Java.Sun.Com to learn more about regular expression.
    About the regular expression in my last post, there are two capturing groups: the first for float numbers in IEEE format specification (also see Java Language Specification) and the second for any sequence of chars, groups using with any amount of blank spaces (spaces, tabs, etc :: see regular expression definition) as delimiter. The anchors "^" and "$" are being used to exactly match pattern in target string and you can relax this constraint as needed.
    How to use JRegex? no secrets!
    import jregex.*;
    // a float number and string with any blank delimiter
    String patternString ="^([+-]?(?:\\d+(?:\\.\\d*)?|\\.\\d+)(?:[eE][+-]?\\d+)?)\s+(.*)$";
    Pattern pattern = new Pattern(patternString); // different from Sun regex package syntax
    // below is identical in both packages
    Matcher m = pattern.matcher(anyTargetString);
    if (m.matches()) {
      Double d = Double.parseDouble( m.group(1) );
      String scratch = m.group(2);
      // your stuff goes here
    ..Remember to put JRegex jarfile in classpath!
    Regards and Success.

  • Extracting strings from binary data

    Hello,
    I am trying to extract string from a binary file.
    At the unix command line (sunos) I can just type;
    strings <filename>
    This is a nice way to get a list of the contents of a directory.
    Is there a way in pl/sql to extract strings from binary data ? An equiv to strings on unix/linux ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Ben

    Hi,
    If you do want to list the contents of a directory, there are other ways to do it. Here's a base implementation of a utility I wrote:
    create or replace and resolve java source named "Util" as
    import java.io.*;
    import java.sql.*;
    import oracle.sql.*;
    import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
    public class Util {
        public static void listFiles(String directory, oracle.sql.ARRAY[] names)
            throws IOException, SQLException {
            File f = new File(directory);
            if(f==null)
                throw new IOException("Directory: "+directory+" does not exist.");
            String[] files = f.list(
                new FilenameFilter() {
                    public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
                        // List all files
                        return true;
            Connection conn = new OracleDriver().defaultConnection();
            ArrayDescriptor descriptor = ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("VC_TAB_TYPE", conn);
            names[0] = new ARRAY(descriptor, conn, files);
            return;
    create or replace type vc_tab_type is table of varchar2(255);
    create or replace package util authid current_user as
        function list_files(p_directory in varchar2)
            return vc_tab_type;
    end;
    create or replace package body util as
        procedure list_files (
            p_directory in varchar2
            , p_filenames out nocopy vc_tab_type
        is
        language java
        name 'Util.listFiles(java.lang.String, oracle.sql.ARRAY[])';
        function list_files(p_directory in varchar2) return vc_tab_type
        is
            l_filenames vc_tab_type := vc_tab_type();
        begin
            list_files(p_directory, l_filenames);
            return l_filenames;
        end;
    end;
    /You can then query the filesystem as follows:
      1  select column_value as filename
      2  from table(util.list_files('c:\windows'))
      3  where column_value like '%.log'
      4* and rownum <= 10

  • Extracting month from date

    hi,
    I have a query in Informix which get the month part of a date. Please help me in converting the same to oracle.
    Informix query
    select month(col1 - today) from tab1;
    col1 is a date field, today will yield the current date and month function will get the month of the date.
    In oracle, when we subtract two dates we will get a number value, how to convert that back to date and extract the month part.
    Help me?????
    Regards,
    Gopu

    select months_between(sysdate, col1)
    from tab1;
    This will return a decimal value representing the months and part month between the two periods. The later date should be specified first, or the result will be a negative value.
