Long text description date format different from workitem date format

[Robert vd Berg]

But then you assume that the user's settings for time are  DD.MM.YYYY. =
If you want to be sure you want to get the format from the user. (Table =
USR01 field DATFM ).
=20
My guess is that the fields in the workitem description are used as =
normal text. No conversion is made, not even by a DATS field...
=20

Hi Partha,
 
i had the same problem months ago.
 
I solved it with an additional element 'date':
  date(2)    =3D evdat+6(2).   date+2(1) =3D '.'.
  date+3(2)  =3D evdat+4(2).   date+5(1) =3D '.'.
  date+6(4)  =3D evdat(4).
 
Hope that helps!
Regards,
Werner.

Betreff: Long text description date format different from workitem date
format
 
 
Hi All,
 
I have a workflow task where I use the exact same date variable in both =
the long text description for the task and the workitem description.  =
The problem is that the long text shows the correct date format in the =
user's logon format but the workitem text that uses the exact same =
variable shows a different format.=20
 
I have looked at the archives and OSS and nothing too relevant pops up =
but perhaps I am searching for the wrong things.  The most relevant note =
is from 1999 and should already be part of our 4.7 Enterprise (ext 200) =
release, Basis 6.2.
 
Any suggestions on how to alleviate this problem would be appreciated.  =
It would be nice if I did not have to produce code just for this.
 
Best regards,
Partha
