Hi,
We have a Gateway service with some date fields (ABAP datatype DATS converted to Edm.DateTime or Edm.DateTimeOffset).
When service is called with output format JSON, date values are represented in MicrosoftDateFormat format (e.g. "/Date(1448841600000)/").
In contrary, when output format is XML, dates are in ISO-8601 format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD (e.g. 1997-07-16T19:20:30+01:00).
Is there any way to change the JSON date format, either in field level or system level?
Hello Shai,
Current formats which you are getting are the standard ones.
If at all you want to send back the Date value in some other format, then you will have to use Edm.String in GW level and send back the date value with the desired format from DPC.

Hi Shai
The way we did was to do an ABAP coding and then based on the date being recieved using Fm to convert the date to the dd/mm/yyyy format by using concatenate statement and passing to a new variable and then sending it to UI layer

Hi Shai,
Unfortunately those are the standard ones for XML(ISO-8601) and JSON (Epoch) respectively.
If you want to change the output at system level for JSON, use an EDM.String to represent the formated datetime you want. For UI which will use the Epoch datetime, there are several libraries that convert Epoch to human readable time. Our UI devs prefer the latter but it depends on your requirement.
