hi,

by default the date format is...

😧 Date format----

> YYYYMMDD.

the date format is different from country to country.........., the necessity to change the date format based on requirement...

<b>WRITE .... <f> <option>.</b>

WRITE DATE <option>.

Option Function

DD/MM/YY Separators as defined in user’s master record.

MM/DD/YY Separators as defined in user’s master record.

DD/MM/YYYY Separators as defined in user’s master record.

MM/DD/YYYY Separators as defined in user’s master record.

DDMMYY No separators.

MMDDYY No separators.

YYMMDD No separators.

<b>example:</b>

WRITE: sy-datum,

/ sy-datum yymmdd.

output:

27.06.1995

950627

you can also use these function modules to convert date..

CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL.

CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL.

please refer to this sample code:

data : date type date.

data : date1 type d.

data: date2 type dats.

date = sy-datum.

date1 = sy-datum.

date2 = sy-datum.

write : date , date1, date2.

output: 20070619 19062007 19.06.2007
