Hi,

Check this sample..

DATA: V_DATE1 TYPE SYDATUM.

DATA: V_DATE2 TYPE SYDATUM.

the internal date format is YYYYMMDD..which is of type D.

V_DATE1 = SY-DATUM.

V_DATE2 = SY-DATUM - 1.

Comparison

IF V_DATE1 < V_DATE2.

WRITE: / 'V_DATE1 IS LESSER'.

ELSE.

WRITE: / 'V_DATE2 IS LESSER'.

ENDIF.

Thanks,

Naren

data: date1 type d value '20060101',

date2 type d value '20060102'.

if date1 LT date2.

write date1.

else.

write date2.

endif.

Naren's example is simple and best suitable.

Just incase you need a FM: <b>FIMA_DATE_COMPARE</b> can help you.

Just the dates input is enough. It gives if first date is LT or EQ or GT second date...

use this FM

<b>C14B_DATE_TIME_COMPARE</b>

enter the dates and it will generate a flag = 'X' if the first date is less than second

Hope this will help you a lot

Thanks
