Hi,

Another simple way is to do this way.

SELECT SINGLE ltx FROM t247

INTO lv_month_name

WHERE spras = nast-spras

AND mnr = lv_date+4(2).

Where lv_month_name is to be declared type FCLTX.

Then in the smartforms, use the date offsets to print the day first and then lv_month_name and then year with offset like below.

Text node :

&lv_date6(2)& - &lv_month_name& - &lv_date0(4)&

This is the way you can do it.

v_creation_date = sy-datum+4(2).

IF v_creation_date IS NOT INITIAL.

*Read internal table it_month for the month in numeric form to the month

*in text form

READ TABLE it_month INTO l_wa_month WITH KEY

mnr = v_creation_date.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

CLEAR v_creation_date.

CONCATENATE sy-datum+6(2)

l_wa_month-ltx

INTO v_creation_date

SEPARATED BY v_slash.

CONDENSE v_creation_date.

CONCATENATE v_creation_date

v_slash

INTO v_creation_date.

CONCATENATE v_creation_date

sy-datum(4)

INTO v_creation_date.

CONDENSE v_creation_date.

ENDIF.

ENDIF.

this will surely work...

pls reward pts

This is possible by adding a Programming code before this text element.

In the code, you have to handle this via ABAP -

Code:

data: l_month like t247-mnr,

l_month_descr like t247-ltx.

l_month = sy-datum+4(2).

select single ltx

into l_month_descr

from t247

where spras = zzsf_billdoch-printlanguage and

mnr = l_month.

if not l_month_descr is initial.

concatenate sy-datum6(2) l_month_descr sy-datum0(4)

into v_faxdate separated by '-'.

endif. " L_Month_Descr.

Referring to the above code you can also use FM HR_IN_GET_DATE_COMPONENTS to get month description. this FM also uses T247 table.

Hi,

You can create your own program lines in the smartform.

Below is the example to get the date as 23-May-2008

DATA : l_date type char2,

l_month type char2,

l_year type char4,

l_dat type char8,

l_mon type char3.

MOVE DATA-WADAT TO l_dat.

l_date = l_dat+6(2).

l_month = l_dat+4(2).

l_year = l_dat+2(2).

CASE l_month.

WHEN '01'.

l_mon = 'JAN'.

WHEN '02'.

l_mon = 'FEB'.

WHEN '03'.

l_mon = 'MAR'.

WHEN '04'.

l_mon = 'APR'.

WHEN '05'.

l_mon = 'MAY'.

WHEN '06'.

l_mon = 'JUN'.

WHEN '07'.

l_mon = 'JUL'.

WHEN '08'.

l_mon = 'AUG'.

WHEN '09'.

l_mon = 'SEP'.

WHEn '10'.

l_mon = 'OCT'.

WHEN '11'.

l_mon = 'NOV'.

WHEN '12'.

l_mon = 'DEC'.

ENDCASE.

CONCATENATE l_year '-' l_mon '-' l_date into G_DATE.

hi!

Before writing the Date_variable concatenate date to the needed format in the Program Line

Rclick the Text --> Create --> Flow Logic --> Program Lines.

hi

u can write ur own FM which will take DATE as input and give DATE as required by u as OUT PUT in character string format.

inside FM write IF ELSE based on months

like IF DATE+4(02) EQ 1.

S_text = 'Jan'.

CONCATENATE DATE6(02) S_text DATE1(04) into F_DATE.

ELSE

like wise for all months.

Hi,

Check the below one :

Global data declaration:

-

---

G_LANGU	LIKE	NAST-SPRAS
G_MON	TYPE	TP_MON
IG_MONTH	TYPE TABLE OF	TP_MONTH
WG_MONTH	TYPE	TP_MONTH
G_SY_DATE	TYPE	STRING

Types:

-

---

types: begin of tp_month.
include structure t247.
types end of tp_month.

initialization:

-

---

clear g_langu.
g_langu = sy-langu.

Code:

-

---

refresh: ig_month.

clear: wg_month,
       g_mon,
       g_sy_date.


call function 'MONTH_NAMES_GET'
  exporting
    language                    = g_lang
   tables
     month_names                 = ig_month .

if sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
endif.

read table  ig_month into wg_month with key mnr =  sy-datum+4(2). " supplying the month value from current date .
g_mon = wg_month-ktx.
concatenate  sy-datum+6(2) g_mon sy-datum+0(4) into g_sy_date separated by '-'.
clear g_mon.

The variable "g_sy_date" contains ur required date format.
