HELP! date pass to script not display in date format

[Former Member]

hi all,

i want to include final approver date into Puchase Order, and i call up a form, getting the date from CDHDR. however, when i return the date back to the script, the date display in PO are out of date format.

original : 16.07.2007

but it shows as : 20070716

how am i going to change it to the actual proper format in script?

very thanks for the help first.

Use this

/: SET DATE MASK = 'DD.MM.YYYY'.

• &DATE&

hi,

but i have other date ( such as create date) which are showing correctly. the create date gets directly from table.

i tried to use the SET DATE, but there is no charge on it. my actual code is as below:

/:	 	PERFORM GET_TEST IN PROGRAM Z_TESTING6
/:	 	USING &EKKO-EBELN&
/:	 	CHANGING &UDATE&
/:	 	ENDPERFORM
PO	 	 Release Date,,&UDATE&

can only one help me. thanks

Alternatively, Change the logic like this before returning UDATE to script.

in Z_TESTING6

Ex:

DATE1(10).

DATE = '20070925'.

DATE10(2) = DATE6(2).

DATE1+2(1) = '/'.

DATE13(2) = DATE4(2).

DATE1+5(1) = '/'.

DATE16(4) = DATE0(4).

Pass this value back to your script...

Close the thread if your question is answered.
