conversion_exit_invdt_input

Hi,

strange problem. I have three char 10 fields which I need to mimic the standard SAP date functionality i.e. popup calendar. I did this by using the EXT_DATE search help.

They are also allowed manually type the date so it should be clever like the standard e.g. 010107 becomes 01.01.2007. For this I used the conversion exit INVDT. This works well except for one strange issue....

The screen has the 3 fields.

four examples

1.

Field1 010107

Field2 020207

Field3 030307

Press return, exit checked, converted to

Field1 01.01.2007

Field2 02.02.2007

Field3 03.03.2007

<b>OK</b>

2.

Field1 01.<b>99</b>.2007

Field2 02.01.2007

Field3 03.03.2007

Press Return

Message says 'invalid date' - <b>OK</b>

3.

Field1 01.01.2007

Field2 <b>99</b>.01.2007

Field3 03.03.2007

Press Return

Field1 <b>79928898</b>

Field2 99.01.2007

Field3 03.03.2007

<b>NOT OK</b>

4.

Field1 01.01.2007

Field2 01.01.2007

Field3 99.03.2007

Press Return

Field1 <b>79928898</b>

Field2 <b>79928898</b>

Field3 <b>99</b>.03.2007

<b>NOT OK</b>

Any ideas how to get around this?

Thanks.
