Hi ramu,

1. use

WRITE mydate to dtstr.

where dtstr is : data : dtstr(10) type c.

2. This statement will write in the current format,

into the char variable.

Hi,

use the following code to write it to string variable in the format you require.

Also set the date format in the user profile.

DATA formatted_text TYPE c LENGTH 50.

WRITE sy-datum TO formatted_text MM/DD/YYYY.

Regards,

Sesh

Hi ramu ,

yeah YYYYMMDD IS idoc standard ,,

and the system internal routine is also the same

YYYYMMDD

u need not convert here ..

it takes care ..

in case ur idoc date is 09212006 then u need to use a fm like convert_date_t0_internal

so NO need to convert ..

this u can check in the debugging putting as fore ground .

VIjay.
