Hi May T

If you go to your service Agent creation/modification screen inside the "Application and user management" Work center. there you can choose different date formats.  Choose the one you prefer and save it. It will change it.

Hello May T,

If you want to see the datre fields on the UI in the requested format follow Asad suggestions.

However, as you post this in the "SAP Cloud Applications Studio" area, I assume you refer to ABSL coding.

Please take a look at the reuse library "Date".

Some examples:

// Create a date from numeric

this.date = Date.Create(20,3,2014);

// Create a date from string

this.date = Date.ParseFromString("20140320");

// Get the day => 20

this.day = this.date.GetDay();

// Get the month => 3

this.month = this.date.GetMonth();

// Get the year => 2014

this.year = this.date.GetYear();

HTH,

Hi Horst,

Is there a function that will format the Date to a specific string format, for example the Date is 2014-08-12 then you want your output in this string format Aug 12 2014? Or do you need to do this manually in your code? like GetMonth(), then if 08, string = "Aug"? and so on and so forth.

Hello Rajiv,

As the textual representation of the "8" as month differs depending on the language there is currently no function available with translates the numeric value to a text.

So you has to do that (the whole stuff)  manually.

Sorry,

Hello Horst,

In your example code,

this.day = this.date.GetDay();

// Get the month => 3

how would I achieve fetch the Day for my date?

Example: Input: 06182015, this should return Thursday to me.

Is there any standard function or other way how I will achieve this?

I have also created a separate thread for this query.

Thanks in Advance.

Hello Chandan,

As I mentioned in the orther thread, there is no function for getting the weekday in teh reuse libraries.

Sorry,

Hello Chandan,

As mentioned in the other thread:

After a quick look into the ABAP coding of the Reuse Library "Date" I have added a new function "GetWeekday" which will be available with the next release.

Hi Mahesh

I think we are discussing about how can we change date format in SAP Cloud solution via SAP cloud application studio or  another means.

I don't think we can use T-code in SDK or in SAP cloud solution.

Thanks
