SAP C4C SDK: Re-use Function to fetch the Day for Specific Date

[chandansb]

Background:

I had the requirement, where I need to have the Day for the specific date. Example if the entered date is 06/25/2015, I want to get Thursday. I had created the discussion on SCN for same. Below is the link to the discussion.

C4C SDK: Fetching Day for the specified Date

I was suggested by Cloud Application Studio expert alessandro.iannaccito create the re-use function. However Cloud Application Studio expert horst.schaude has mentioned that SAP will be get this as function in next release. But I thought of getting the experience to create my first new Re-use function. :wink:

Thought of sharing this with the Community. :smile:

Note: I have created the Custom BO just to implement and test this functionality before implementing on any standard.

Business Object Definition
import AP.Common.GDT as apCommonGDT; businessobject DayReuseLib { [AlternativeKey] [Label("Enter Date")] element tdate : Date; [Label("Today")] element today : LANGUAGEINDEPENDENT_ENCRYPTED_MEDIUM_Description; [Transient][Label("Leap Year")] element leap : Indicator; // indicator For Leap Year Check }

Event- AfterModify.absl

import ABSL; import AP.Common.GDT as apCommonGDT; var value1; var year; if(!this.tdate.IsInitial()) { // ********* Checking if Leap Year ***************** // var nyear : NumberValue; nyear = year; this.leap = false; var leap : FloatValue; leap = nyear/4; if (!leap.ToString().Contains(".")) {   this.leap = true;   } // Call Reuse function to get the Day value1  = Library::DayReuseLib.ReturnDayfromDate(this.tdate,this.leap);   if(!value1.IsInitial()){   this.today = value1; // Display the Day on the screen   }

Below is the Re-Use function coding.

Hopefully this might be helpful to the community.

Cheers. :smile:
