Issue with Set Date Mask and Language in SAP Script

[alexandra_fischer]

I need to have a date writeen in english language in a SAP Script form that is defined in language spanish.

What can I do in the spanish Sap Script form?

Or an idea for a workaround: What would happen if I would copy my spanish form to language english (english is in our system the leading language) and delete the spanish version completely ?

Thank you in advance for an reply !

Hi,

Write Logic the in the program to convert the date and pass it to SCript.

You can use FM- ISP_GET_MONTH_NAME.. pass Lang as English and get descrption and concate with date and Year

Hello,

thank but we are talking about something different.

I have in my sap Script the following:

/: SET LANGUAGE = 'E'

/: SET DATE MASK = 'DD of MMMM, YYYY'

The system will show on the form for the date

28 of diciembre, 2009 (name of month in spanish)

I need

28th of December 2009 (name of month in english)

Nevertheless I will try Set country = 'US' or something like that.

Hi Alexandra

The format of the date doesn't depend on the language of sapscript, but it depends on user setting, if you want to use the format of certain country u can use the statament SET COUNTRY.
