DATE FORMAT ccyymmdd

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am doing EDI message to IDOC mapping in which My requirement is to map

Current date -

---

>DATUM

in this mapping current date should be in the format ccyymmdd

If i give this format in function current date then it gives rumtime error that C is illegal character

It only accepts y, m and d characters

any body can tell me how can i give this CCYYMMDD format in current date function?

Thanks

Hi

you can treat the CCYY as YYYY as CC defins the century 19 and YY defins the year. so both are same

in XI u can use the dtae format of typr YYYYMMDD for CCYYMMDD.

i know both are same just a slight diffencer in way of representation

My requirement is to give date in format CCYYMMDD format not in year format

If you give the date 20080428,it treats 20 as CC (century) and 08 as Year 04 as month 28 as date.

So you can use the same format.

Dear Sandeep,

In JAVA date manipulation classes (SimpleDateFormat, DateFormat), the "CC" pattern (century) does not exist ...

As Rinky says, YYYYMMDD would be the easier way of representing such date ... Otherwise you'll have to explain us why do you need to stick to this CC thing (ie, "CCYYMMDD" today date should be "21080428" ?)

As mentioned, CC is referring to Century, in message mapping there is not such as CCYYMMDD option, so instead of it, you can use following tip... use DateTrans function and set it up as yyyyMMdd, then use substring 2...8 and concat with 21 so you will get 21220814.

CCYYMMDD was obviously invented by mentally handicapped people. Correct would be YYYYMMDD, CC (century) is year (integer divide by 100) + 1. Sometimes the stupids win.

HI Sandeep,

CC means century.

XI does not understand the format CCYYMMDD.so you can give YYYYMMDD.

Hi,

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");

Date today = new Date();

String stringDate = formatter.format(today);

System.out.println(stringDate);

You just need to change the format pattern as listed in the docs for different formats.
