casting char to DATS

[Former Member]

Hi All!

How can I convert currDate -> SYSTDATLO or DATS

e.g.

data currDate(10) type c value '01.09.2007'.

I am not sure whether there is a FM which converts date from dd.mm.yyyy to yyyymmdd. Otherwise you have to manually convert dd.mm.yyyy to yyyymmdd format to do the comparison.

Split date1(which has dd.mm.yyyy) into date month year at '.'.

Then

Concatenate year month date into date2.

Now date2 has the format yyyymmdd. It can be compared witht he other date.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Hi there,,

Try the following code,, this will resolve your issue.

data currDate(10) type c value '01.09.2007'. " mm.dd.yyyy

data : v_date like sy-datum.

concatenate currDate6(4) currdate3(2) currdate+0(2) into v_date.

write:/ v_date.

hi,

you can use this FM as follows:

data currDate(10) type c value '01.09.2007'.

data v TYPE DATS.

START-OF-SELECTION.

WRITE CURRDATE TO V.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'

EXPORTING

DATE_EXTERNAL = currdate

• ACCEPT_INITIAL_DATE =

IMPORTING

DATE_INTERNAL = v

• EXCEPTIONS

• DATE_EXTERNAL_IS_INVALID = 1

• OTHERS = 2

.

it will give what you want .

data tmstmp type TZNTSTMPS.

data currDate(10) type c value '01.09.2007'.

data : v_date type dats.

concatenate currDate6(4) currdate3(2) currdate+0(2) into v_date.

CALL FUNCTION 'ABI_TIMESTAMP_CONVERT_INTO'

EXPORTING

iv_date = v_date

iv_time = '00:00:00'

IMPORTING

EV_TIMESTAMP = tmstmp .
