Display empty fields in query

[stefan_bogesch]

Hello,

I have a Query using Logical Database QMI.

There are some date and time fields, which show "00.00.0000" or "00:00:00" if there is no entry.

Is it possible to show a empty Field " " instead of "00.00.0000" or "00:00:00"?

Thanks

Hi,

You can use character type variable instead of sy-datum. Move date to variable and if it is zero clear the contents and display it.

date: v_date   type char10.

move wa_data-date to v_date.

If v_date eq 0.

     clear v_date.

endif.

Hello S B,

This might not be that simple. This would call for 4 character variables. For example your date field is AUSBS then

Data: v_day type char2,
          v_mon type char2,
          v_year type char4,
          v_date type char10.

"You need to extract these parts from the date field AUSBS using syntax like:

" Code to be given in the coding area of Addl field v_day
v_day = DIQMEL-AUSBS+6(2).  

" Code to be given in the coding area of Addl field v_mon
v_mon = DIQMEL-AUSBS+4(2). 

" Code to be given in the coding area of Addl field v_year
v_year = DIQMEL-AUSBS+0(4).  


"The following code is to be given in the coding area of Addl field v_date.
If v_day = '00' and v_mon = '00' and v_year = '0000'.
v_date = ''.
else.
concatenate v_day '/' v_mon '/' v_year into v_date.
endif.

This you need to do in the Extras of your SQ02.  This is the basic approach you need to proceed. Correct syntax errors if any. I need not mention that the finished product of this work is the Additional field v_date, which you would use in the place of field AUSBS.

Best of luck

Hello,

thanks you all for your replies.

I solved it like this.

Added a additional field, for example v_date type char10, to the query.

Added coding for this field like this.

     IF DIQMEL-QMDAT ne 0.

          CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'

               EXPORTING

                    DATE_INTERNAL      =     DIQMEL-QMDAT

               IMPORTING

                    DATE_EXTERNAL     =     v_date

               EXCEPTIONS

                    DATE_INTERNAL_IS_INVALID     =     1

                    OTHERS                                         =     2.

     ELSE.

          CLEAR v_date.

     ENDIF.

Yes,

FM makes it much simpler. This is also the way.

Thank you
