hi,

Assign that value to a field of type sy-datum.

eg.

Date = sy-datum.

Date = '20080704'.

Hi Asha,

Try this code below :

data :
  w_string type string value '20080704',
  w_date type sy-datum.

w_date+0(4) = w_string+0(4).  " Year
w_date+4(2) = w_string+4(2).  " Month
w_date+6(2) = w_string+6(2).  " Day

write : / w_date.
