Hi,

i have a simple requirment, but can't find any solution for it: is there any function module or class/method to read a calendar ? I need it in the form that i have input parameter "date from" and "date to" -> as output i need a table with day of the week like:

30.07.2020 Thursday

31.07.2020 Friday

01.08.2020 Saturday

I cant find anything, any solution for that ?

    day_number = ( ( iv_date - '19790101' ) MOD 7 ) + 1.
day_name = switch char20( day_number  when 1 then 'monday' .... ).

    or you could make a select on the table with day number

    rsimple ;)

    Hello Martin Svik

    You can use SAP standard function DATE_COMPUTE_DAY to calculate the day of the week (1 - Monday, 2 - Tuesday, 3 - Wednesday etc.)

    See SAP Help on Calendar functions

    Martin Svik,

    There is no FM as such which can output the Day names from the date ranges, probably you make use of the below FMs and code it accordingly.

    You can calculate the Day Value as suggested by Frederic Girod and then use the second FM below to get the name of it.

    You can use the FM: GET_WEEKDAY_NAME, to get the Day name based on the dates as shown below:

    All weekday names can be retrieved from the FM DAY_NAMES_GET just by executing it as shown below:

    Regards!

      Martin Svik,

      I don't think so. Think about THIS, call the second function module that I have given which gives all the week day names. Here the function module is called only once. Now the there is a internal table with all the week day numbers and its name.

      Next as suggested by Frederic Girod calculate the day number and read from the Table fetched using the FM as suggested above.

      So until now you have called the FM only once and you read it N number if times which is no harm. Hope it helps!

      Regards!
