Date format disappears after 3 or 4 executions

[former_member193376]

Hi

My requirement is that i have to set my "current date" format as yyMMdd, setting this format is fine. It executes also normally with the desired output. After executing 3 or 4 times, the target format of my date ,ie yyMMdd disapears and hence the output is a blank. its a bit weird.

Any idea why this is happening.

Thanks in advance

Try to use this udf to achieve your output

imports java.util.Date;java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

function currentdate(Container container)

{

Date useddate=new Date();

SimpleDateFormat useddateformat=new SimpleDateFormat("yyMMdd");

String enterdate=new String(useddateformat.format(useddate).toString());

return enterdate;

}

Hi,

I beleive you are using Graphical mapping and Date is disappearing after producing the values for earlier occurences of field.

The only reason due to which it can happen is that you are not handling the context of occurence of source field. The occurence of source date should be equal to occurence of date field n target.

you may need to write some UDF or You can use SAP standard functions to achieve it.

Hi Patrick

am doing a graphical mapping.

i use the "current date" function and have to set my target date format as yyyyMMdd. this is succesfully done and execeuted succesfully.(its a straight mapping to the target) , After i execute it a no of times, i get a blank output , why? cause the date format(yyyyMMdd) has disapeared from the "current date" function where i set it earlier.

Hope this is clear.

Thanks

Hi,

Yes if the date format disappear no data will be passed. But how could this happen? Do you have saved and activated your mapping?

Hi,

I had now the same bug (with the date trans function)?!

It helped to remove the function and inserting it again.

Hope it helps.
