use FM

CALL FUNCTION 'LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS'
EXPORTING
DAY_IN = sy-datum
IMPORTING
LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH = v_lastdate.

call function 'RP_LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS'
EXPORTING
day_in = g_t_date-begin
IMPORTING
last_day_of_month = g_t_date-end.

to get the last date of a month

i´d advice you to use a real date since it would be a hard way to store half a date.

Anyway make yourself a date variable:

DATA lv_date type sy-datum.

write lv_date(2), lv_date(5)+5.

should give you "MM.DDDD".

say user entered 102007 on selection screen...

then, V1 = date+0(2).

check whether V1 lies between 01 & 12.

then V2 = date+2(4).

concatenate V1 '01' V2 into final date.

for getting last date use the below....

CALL FUNCTION 'LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS'

EXPORTING

DAY_IN = sy-datum

IMPORTING

LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH = v_lastdate.

well those FM are kewl, BUT they are not working correctly.

e.G. the last day of February 2007 is the 29th.

both FM´s calculate the 28th.
