In SAP ABAP, you can add days to a date using the +
operator or the CALENDAR
function module. Here are a few ways to do it:
1. Using Direct Arithmetic (+
and -
Operators)
DATA: lv_date TYPE sy-datum.lv_date = sy-datum + 10. " Adds 10 days to the current dateWRITE lv_date.
- This approach is simple and works directly with
sy-datum
or other date fields.
2. Using DATE_ADD_DAYS
Function Module (Older versions)
DATA: lv_date TYPE sy-datum, lv_newdate TYPE sy-datum.
lv_date = sy-datum. " Today's dateCALL FUNCTION 'DATE_ADD_DAYS' EXPORTING date = lv_date days = 10 IMPORTING new_date = lv_newdate.
WRITE lv_newdate.
3. Using Class CL_ABAP_DATFM
(Newer Approach)
DATA: lv_date TYPE d, lv_newdate TYPE d.
lv_date = sy-datum.
lv_newdate = cl_abap_datfm=>add_to_date( i_date = lv_date i_days = 10 ). " Adds 10 days
WRITE lv_newdate.
All these methods will correctly add days to a given date. The arithmetic method (sy-datum + N
) is the most straightforward for simple calculations. Let me know if you need more help! 🚀
