Hi Krish,

Try using date mask with the following syntax.

Syntax

/: SET DATE MASK = 'date_mask'

Assuming a current system date of March 1st, 1997. 

/: SET DATE MASK = 'Foster City, MM.DD.YY' 
&DATE& -> Foster City, 03.01.97 
&DATE(Z)& -> Foster City, 3.1.97 

/: SET DATE MASK = 'MMMM DD, YYYY' 
&DATE& -> March 01, 1997

Ref. From Library.

Much Regards,

Amuktha.

WRITE ONE Z PROGRAM .

EX. ZTEST

write the code below.


PROGRAM ZTEST.

form GET_NEWDATE tables in_tab STRUCTURE itcsy
out_tab STRUCTURE itcsy.

DATA : LV_NEWDATE TYPE D.

DATA : LV_OLDDATE LIKE OLDDATE,

data : gv_dd(2) type c,
gv_mm(2) type c,
gv_yy(4) type c.

data : date(8) type c.

gv_dd = LV_OLDDATE(+22).
gv_mm = LV_OLDDATE(2).
gv_yy = LV_DOC_DATE+4(4).

CONCATENATE gv_dd gv_mm gv_yy INTO date.

LV_NEWDATE = DATE.

read table OUT_tab index 1.
MOVE LV_NEWDATE TO OUT_TAB-VALUE.
CONDENSE OUT_TAB-VALUE.
MODIFY OUT_TAB INDEX 1.

ENDFORM.
