Purpose:
To get the current date in the specified user date format and the date format can be retrieved using Function module call to BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL or from SU3 transaction.
Liquid UI Code:
// SAPLSMTR_NAVIGATION.E0100.sjs
// Capture the date from object and transform it to targeting format
function getCurrentDate(){
var today = new Date();
if(today.getMonth()<9){ // getMonth returns month value from 0~11, add "0" before actual month value if is JAN~SEP(1~9)
curDateStr = today.getFullYear() + "0" + (today.getMonth()+1) + today.getDate();
} else{ // No need to add "0" if actual month value is OCT~DEC (10~12)
curDateStr = today.getFullYear() + (today.getMonth()+1) + today.getDate();
}
onscreen 'SAPLSMTR_NAVIGATION.0100'
call('BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL',{'IN.USERNAME':'&V[_user]','OUT.DEFAULTS':'userDefaults'});
dateformat = userDefaults.substring(27,28);
z_currentformattedDate = formatDate(curDateStr,dateformat);
enter('?');
}
// 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);
}
// User Interface
del('X[IMAGE_CONTAINER]'); // Delete AxtiveX Container on SAP Easy Access screen
inputfield([1,1], "Date", [1,10], {"name":"z_currentformattedDate", "size":10});
pushbutton([1,22], "Get current date", "?", {"process":getCurrentDate});
