Hi!!

you can try with using EDIT MASK to move the field into another variable .

eg: data : v_date like sy-datum.

data : v_date1(10).

v_date = sy-datum.

write v_date using EDIT MASK '__/__/____' to v_date1.

and pass v_date1 to ur FM .

Hope this would help you .

hii

use following code

Data : wa_date type dats value '09092008',
          wa_date1(10).
data : val(1) type c value '/'.

wa_date1 = wa_date.

concatenate wa_date+0(2) wa_date+2(2) wa_date+4(4) into wa_date1
separated by val.

Write : / wa_date1.

Hi,

Please try the below code

ld_curr_date = '09092008'.

concatenate ld_curr_date0(2) '/' ld_curr_date2(2) '/' ld_curr_date+4(4) into ld_date.

Now you can use this ld_date in ur FM.

say u get the output from ur FM in variable ld_date1 with format '09/09/2008'

convert it to sy-datum.

concatenate ld_date16(4) ld_date13(2) ld_date1+0(2) into ld_date2.

now ld_date is of char 8 length.

Note: ld_date and ld_date1 would be of length 10.

Since you already using type Sy-datum than no need of any conversion system would automatically convert.

Reason:Type SYDATS is the domain of Sy-datum and its length is char8 but output characteristics is length is 10.
