Hi,

Use the WRITE statement..

DATA: V_CHAR(10).

WRITE SY-DATUM TO V_CHAR.

Thanks,

Naren

see the system uses date in internal foramt like YYYYMMDD

this assignment is enough .

so u can assign the date


data : date like sy-datum ,
         input_Date like sy-datum.

date =  input_date.

substitute this date to the screen field , this will do .

regards,
