Hi ashu,

1. One way is using offset.

data : dt type sy-datum.

data : newdate type sy-datum.

concatenate dt4(2) dt6(2) dt+0(4)

into newdate.

Always use yyyymmdd as date format. Let the user decide on how the date is shown for him, he can do that via own data. If you need to convert the date due to interface conversion, you can do that using normal char/string manipulating.

Hi,

data:
  w_date type sy-datum value '20080818',
  w_date2 type d,
  w_date1 type char8.

  w_date2+0(2) = w_date+4(2).
  w_date2+2(2) = w_date+6(2).
  w_date2+4(4) = w_date+0(4).

  w_date1 = w_date2.
  write w_date1.

Hope it solves your problem.

Thanks,

Hi,

the following is an example to change date formate.

write:

sy-datum mm/dd/yyyy.

where if you write only sy-datum alone then it write in system formate. if we add formating options then the output will be in that formate.

Aswini.
