Hello,

There are two standard FM which can be used to achieve this.

FM - DATE_TO_DAY (Will give the name of the day based on date)

FM - MONTH_NAMES_GET (Will give name of month)

You can use string operations on date to get ,

1. Which day it is

2. Which Month

3. Which Year

For eg, 02.09.2015 - day - 02, month - 09, year - 2015.

Even the below link can help you,

Please use string operations to segregate the current date and send it to these FM's.

Hope it helps..

Deepan Swaminathan.

hi,

you can split the SY-DATUM variable into month day and year.

and pass the month number in SAP standard table t247 which gives you MONTH name.

arrange this variable as per your requirement on your smart form layout.

for better understanding refer the logic

DATA : v_mon(2) TYPE n,

v_date(10) VALUE '04.09.2007',

v_ltx LIKE t247-ltx,

v_ktx LIKE t247-ktx.

SELECT SINGLE ktx

ltx

INTO (v_ktx , v_ltx)

FROM t247

WHERE spras = sy-langu AND

mnr EQ v_date+3(2).

for this you need to define some global variable

Hope it helps
