Hi eswar,

1. define a character variable of 10 length

2. use like this

3. write sy-datum to myvar.

(it will write date in the proper format

in side the variable myvar.)

4. now use this MYVAR variable.

regards,

amit m.

hi,

do manually.

data: str(12).

concatenate sy-datum(4)

'/' sy-datum+4(2)

'/' sy-datum+6(2) into str.

and put str into your string email body.

addition: or using function

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_OUTPUT'

EXPORTING

INPUT = sy-datum

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = str.

Hi Eswar,

Use Offset to Split the Date into Year Month and Date in seperate Variable and then you can Concatenate into the Target Variable as you require.

MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY etc.,

Hope this might help you.

Cheers,

Hello,

Whenever you pass the value from the sy-datum to 10 char field do like this,

data: l_date(10).

write : sy-datum to l_date dd/mm/yyyy.

1)

HRGPBS_HESA_DATE_FORMAT

Format a date valid for HESA: DD/MM/YYYY

data:date_form type CHAR10.

call function 'HRGPBS_HESA_DATE_FORMAT'

exporting

P_DATE = sy-datum

importing

DATESTRING = date_form

exceptions

others = 1.

write : date_form.

2)Say suppose your date is date1(of the format yyyyymmdd) and date2(of the format mm/dd/yyyy)

declare variables w_year(4) type c

w_month(2) type c

w_date(2) type c

date2(10) type c.

w_year = date1+1(4).

w_month = date1+4(2).

w_date = date1+6(2).

concatenate w_month w_date w_year into w_date2 separated by '/'.

Please try this :-


<b>
*Declare a variable of type C and length 10.</b>
DATA  : v_date(10) TYPE c.
<b>
*Write the system date to it using  add. 'MM/DD/YYYY'</b>
WRITE sy-datum TO v_date MM/DD/YYYY.
WRITE v_date.

Hope this helps you.
