Split the Day,month and year from the given date format and concatenate them as per your format.

Or use the edit mask command

or use the command WRITE date1 TO date2.

hi,

take the date into variable lv_date of data type sy-datum

data: lv_dd(2) type c,

lv_mm(2) type c,

lv_yy(4) type c.

lv_date = sy-datum.

lv_dd = lv_date+6(2), here comes the date

lv_mm = lv_date+4(2), mnth

lv_yy = lv_date+0(4), year..

Npw you can use concatenate statement and make the date in your format..

EG: concatenate lv_dd lv_mm lv_yy into lv_newdate

seperated by '/'.

output: 14/05/2007..

Else if you need months in text you can use relevant Function modules ..

rewards if useful..

Date and Time Information

The following system fields are always set automatically. If necessary, the GET TIME statement synchronizes the application server time with that of the database server and writes it to the system field SY-UZEIT. SY-DATUM and the system fields for the local time zone, that is SY-TIMLO, SY-DATLO, and SY-ZONLO are also reset.

SY-DATLO

Local date of user, for example 19981129, 19990628.

SY-DATUM

Current (application server) date, for example 19981130, 19990627.

SY-DAYST

During daylight saving time X, otherwise empty.

SY-FDAYW

Factory calendar weekday, Sunday 0 … Saturday 6.

SY-TIMLO

Local time of user, for example 154353, 225312.

SY-TZONE

Time difference to Greenwich Mean Time (UTC) in seconds, for example 3600, 10800.

SY-UZEIT

Current (application server) time, for example 164353, 215312.

SY-ZONLO

Time zone of user, for example CET, UTC.

hope its useful for ur question,

reward points if its so,

thanks and regards

Hi,

you can divide the date into day, month and year & can also concatenate the same as per your required format.

You can take the help from this code

data : d_date type sy-datum,

day(2),

month(2),

Year(4),

new_date(10).

d_date = sy-datum.

day = d_date+6(2).

month = d_date+4(2).

year = d_date+0(4).

concatenate day ':' month ':' year into new_date.

write : d_date.

write : new_date.
