Conversion of string 20080315 to 2008-03-15

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a string in this format 20080315 , but i want it to get displayed as 2008-03-15, how to fit this "-" in between this string using string function ?

Few more examples below

YYYYMMDDhhmmss should get displyed like this "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ"

Thanks in advance

Hi,

assume str contains the 'YYYYMMDDhhmmss'

split the string two substrings

concatenate str0(4) str4(2) str+6(2) into str1 separated by '-'

concatenate str8(2) str10(2) str+12(2) into str2 separated by ':'

again concate str2 'Z' into str3

now, concatenate str1 str3 into str4 separated by 'T'.

use for example CONCATENATE:

DATA: lv_date TYPE d VALUE '20090330',
          lv_date_char TYPE char10.
CONCATENATE lv_date+0(4)
                         lv_date+4(2)
                         lv_date+6(2)
INTO lv_datechar SEPARATED BY '-'.

But when you want to display on screen via WRITE statement you can also use USING EDIT MASK.

See F1 help.

Hi,

data : result type string,

input type string.

input = '20080315'.

concatenate input0(4) input4(2) input+6(2) into result separated by '-'.

hope it works...
