Get Future Date
« on: April 01, 2016, 05:54:56 PM »
Purpose:
To get the future date in the current user's date format based on the number of days entered.

Liquid UI Code:

// SAPLSMTR_NAVIGATION.E0100.sjs

// Validate if the variable holds blank or null value
function isBlank(jvar){
   if(typeof jvar == 'string'){
      jvar = jvar.trim();
   }
   return(jvar == 'undefined' || jvar == null || jvar == "" || jvar == void 0);
}

// Change date from 6 digit or 8 digit to correct format
function formatDate(date,dformat){
   var date1 = "";
   month = date.substring(4,6);
   year = date.substring(0,4);
   date = date.substring(6,8);
   
   switch (dformat){
         case '1':
            date1 = date + "." + month + "." + year;
            break;
         case '2':
            date1 = month + "/" + date + "/" + year;         
            break;
         case '3':
            date1 = month + "-" + date + "-" + year;                     
            break;
         case '4':
            date1 = year + "." + month + "." + date;         
            break;
         case '5':
            date1 = year + "/" + month + "/" + date;            
            break;
         case '6':
            date1 = year + "-" + month + "-" + date;
            break;
      }
   return(date1);   
}

// Get future date based on the number of days
function getFutureDate(){
   if(isBlank(z_days)) {
      return('E: Enter number of Days');
   }
   
   onscreen 'SAPLSMTR_NAVIGATION.0100'
      var curr_date = new Date();
      curr_date.setMilliseconds(curr_date.getMilliseconds()+(z_days*24*60*60*1000));

      var tmp_cur_month = curr_date.getMonth();
      var tmp_cur_date = curr_date.getDate();
      var tmp_cur_year = curr_date.getFullYear();

      if(tmp_cur_month<9)
         tmp_cur_month = "0"+(tmp_cur_month+1);
      else
         tmp_cur_month = (tmp_cur_month+1).toString();

      if(tmp_cur_date<10)
                  tmp_cur_date = "0"+tmp_cur_date;

      z_target_date = formatDate(tmp_cur_year+tmp_cur_month+tmp_cur_date,"2");
      enter('?');
}


// User Interface
del('X[IMAGE_CONTAINER]');      // Delete AxtiveX Container on SAP Easy Access screen
inputfield([1,1], "No. of Days in future", [1,24], {"name":"z_days", "size":3, "required":true});
inputfield([2,1], "Date", [2,24], {"name":"z_target_date", "size":10});
pushbutton([2,36], "Get future date", "?", {"process":getFutureDate});
