Filtering out dashes in a routine

Posted on Nov 29, 2007 at 03:32 PM 9 Views

I posted this in the BI section but got no responses. I get much faster responses on this forum and while it is BI related, it is a code issue as well. Question is below:

I am trying to get data from one info object that has a data value of Char to another info object that has a data value of Date.

The Char value looks like this: mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss

The Date value looks like this: dd-mm-yy

When I put the first half of the char value in it does this: -d/d-/yyyy

How do I filter out the dashes in the Char???

Thanks.

    you can try like this:

    data: l_char(10) type c value '11/29/2007',
      l_date(10) type c value '29-11-2007'.

replace all OCCURRENCES of '/' in l_char with ' '.
replace  all OCCURRENCES of  '-' in l_date with ' '.

write: / l_char,
       / l_date.
