hi,

DATA: DATE_CHAR(20).
DATA: DATE TYPE SY-DATUM.
DATA: MONTH_NAME LIKE T247-LTX.
DATE = SY-DATUM.

SELECT SINGLE LTX FROM T247
INTO MONTH_NAME
WHERE SPRAS = SY-LANGU
AND MNR = SY-DATUM+4(2).

CONCATENATE SY-DATUM+6(2) MONTH_NAME SY-DATUM(4)
INTO DATE_CHAR SEPARATED BY SPACE.
WRITE: / DATE_CHAR

To create superscripts:

Create a new character format : c

In the standard settings set the radio button ON for SUPERSCRIPT.

Then you can assign it to your text as follows:

Your text <c>superscripted<>

Where c is the character format.

Example: 21st Feb 2006.

&VBDKR-FKDAT(2)&<c>ST<> &VBDKR-FKDAT+2(8)& ........

c= Charecter format which you creates.

In scripts you can just create a Character format in that u can select super script / subscript and other options too.

Then where every you want to use can use it as in any scripting language. Like, DD<chatformname>th</>.

But I'm sure it is even easy in Adobe forms.
