Question:
The decimal notation and date format fields on the SU01 Defaults tab in
our GTS system are different compared to our other systems:
GTS:
===
-Decimal notation field is a drop down with the following values:
X 1,234,567.89
Y 1 234 567,89
1.234.567,89
-Date format field is a drop down with the following values:
1 DD.MM.YYYY
2 MM/DD/YYYY
...
Other Systems:
==========
-Decimal notation field is a radio button with the following selections:1.234.567,89
1,234,567.89
1 234 567,89
-Date format field is a radio button with the following selections:
DD.MM.YYYY
MM/DD/YYYY
...
What Software Component (SAP_BASIS, SAP_ABA, or PI_BASIS), Release, and
Level made this change to these decimal/date fields on the SU01
Defaults tab?
Answer:
As I recall this is a 4.6 Feature, along with the Service user option.
Answer:
I found this was introduced in SAPKB62055 by note 863665. Does anyone know of a simple query (such as a function module or table) to know which SU01 decimal/date fields are being used (old or new)? Thanks...
Answer:
Not logged on but I beleive this info is in USR01. There is also a system parameter setting to set the default for the system for SU01
Answer:
John,
Thanks for the response. When you compare table USR01 on a system with note 863665 versus a system without the note, the data will look the same (i.e. Date format = 2 and Dec.pt.format = X). However, it's only when you run SU01 and look at the Defaults tab that you see the system with the note has the following:
-Decimal Notation and Date format fields under Logon Language at the top, along with both fields being drop downs.
Whereas the system without the note has the following:
-Decimal Notation and Date format fields to the right of Spool Control, Personal Time Zone, and CATT fields, along with both fields being radio buttons.
The profile parameters are zcsa/moddatfm and zcsa/moddcpfm, but these deal with the defaults. I want to know how the two fields are represented on the SU01 Defaults tab (drop down versus radio button). The main reason is that we have a common program which is transported across multiple systems that does SU01 updates in batch. I need a way to figure out the decimal notation and date format field definition at the beginning of the program to know which field population to use (old or new). Thanks...
Answer:
Just out of curiosity. are you using BDC to SU01 or SU01_NAV and if not does SU01_NAV have the same problem?
Answer:
I'm using SU01_NAV.
