Doubt reg. displaying date in an ALV List

[Former Member]

Hi Pals,

I have a query while using classical ALC. I am using the REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY function module. While displaying the list I have a date field which getting displayed as 20060515 but I want this column to be displayed as 05/15/2006. Is there a direct way of doing this other than concatenation?

Your inputs would be highly appreciable.

Thank You.

Hii

GO TO <b>SYSTEM --> USER PROFILE -->OWN DATA --> DEFAULTS</b>

and check for the required option in date format.

Then declare date as sy-datum.

then you will get the date in the required format .

also you use function module

<b>CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_OUTPUT</b>

Thanks &Regards

Use fieldcat-DATATYPE = 'DATS' and fieldcat-INTTYPE = 'D' for the date field

Thank you very much all for your input!!! I have yet another query. When my date field contains 00000000, it is being displayed as 00/00/0000. How should I avoid this? Should I be clearing my internal table manully or is there a direct way of doing this??

I will close this thread once after my resolution to this query. Thank you all !
