Date Objects in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 

Definition

Under Library ® Form Builder, Adobe LiveCycle Designer provides you with the following date objects:

·        Localized Full Date

·        Localized Long Date

·        Localized Medium Date

·        Localized Short Date

Use

You use these date objects to format dates locally when you call the form. The dates are formatted according to the parameter values entered for language and country in the application program. These values are sent to the generated function module that contains the form description.

 

Example

You want to display the date objects on the form in US format or in German format.

data       fp_docparams type sfpdocparams.

[...]

 

* US format

  fp_docparams-langu = 'EN'.

  fp_docparams-country = 'US'.

 

* German format

*  fp_docparams-langu = 'D'.

*  fp_docparams-country = 'DE'.

 

* Call the generated function module

  call function fm_name

    exporting

      /1bcdwb/docparams       = fp_docparams
