Hey everybody!

I´m writing my diploma thesis in the field of BW and I have to do a little time conversion.

I hav a date like "22.01.1980" in my source and two destination fields CALYEAR (YYYY) and CALMONTH (MM/YYYY like 01/1980).

What is the easiest way to convert the date with ABAP or is there a predefined function?

Thanks in advance!

date1 = '22.01.1980'.

dd = date1+0(2).

mm = date1+3(2).

yyyy = date1+6(4).

Hi,

REPORT ztest.

TYPES: BEGIN OF external_month_type,

dd TYPE n LENGTH 2,

p1 TYPE c LENGTH 1,

mm TYPE n LENGTH 2,

p2 TYPE c LENGTH 1,

yyyy TYPE n LENGTH 4,

END OF external_month_type.

TYPES: BEGIN OF calmonth_type,

mm TYPE n LENGTH 2,

sl TYPE c LENGTH 1,

yyyy TYPE n LENGTH 4,

END OF calmonth_type.

DATA: l_input_data TYPE c LENGTH 10,

l_ext_data TYPE external_month_type,

l_calmonth TYPE calmonth_type,

l_calyear TYPE n LENGTH 4.

l_input_data = '22.01.1980'.

l_ext_data = l_input_data.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING l_ext_data TO l_calmonth.

l_calmonth-sl = '/'.

l_calyear = l_ext_data-yyyy.

WRITE: / l_input_data, l_ext_data, l_calmonth, l_calyear.

Reward points if found helpful....
