Function documentation PERI5 Conversion Routine  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

The PERI5 conversion serves to convert a five-figure calendar quarter in an external format (Q.YYYY, for example) into the internal format (YYYYQ). Y stands for year (here four digits) and Q for quarter (single digit: 1,2,3, or 4). The separator (‘.’ or ‘/’) has to correspond to the date format in the user settings.

Features

Permitted entries for the date format DD.MM.YYYY are QYY (two digits for year without separator), Q.YY (two digits for year with separator), QYYYY (four digits for year without separator), and Q.YYYY (four digits for year with separator). Permitted entries for the date format YYYY/MM/DD would be YYQ, YY/Q, YYYYQ, YYYY/Q.

Example

Examples where the date format in the user settings is DD.MM.YYYY. A conversion from the external to the internal format takes place:

...

       1.      '2.02' → '20022'

       2.      '31999' → '19993'

       3.      '4.2001' → '20014'
