Long text description date format different from workitem date format

[Chatterjee, Partha (US - San Ramon)]

Hi All,
=20
Thanks for the responses as usual.  Having done SAP Workflow for 7 years =
this forum is godsend!  And it saves time in debugger -- LOL!
=20
Acutally, I tried what Guy suggested subsequent to writing my email to =
the WUG after speaking with a Basis guru about the problem.
=20
So after I changed WF-Batch's default date setting in SU01 to what it is =
for normal logon users, the Workitem text displayed the correct date =
format (and the same one) that was being seen for the varible in the =
long text.
=20
I appreciate the suggestions--I was fearing having to use Werner's =
solution for this type of thing but thought it was a silly thing to have =
to code around.
=20
Hope this helps others since both Guy and myself have found this to be a =
good solution!
=20
Best regards,
Partha

        I think the default settings for wf-batch should match the common user =
settings.  Guy

        Hi Partha,
=09
        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.

        Hi All,
=09
        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
=09
        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.
=09
        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
