For date+time fields look for documentation on timestamps in Abap documentation.

Hi Venkat,

Please use the function module FORMAT_DATE_4_OUTPUT and give the input as example

DATIN: 20121025

FORMAT: DD/MM/YYYY

format should be which ever format you required and the output for the above example is 25/10/2012

Karthik

Basic requirement, obviously not enough research and no follow-up in 8 days -> locked.
