Hi Sandeep,

You have to use FM's CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL and CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'
  EXPORTING
    date_external                  = wrk_edate "EG: 20.05.2005
*   ACCEPT_INITIAL_DATE            =
 IMPORTING
   DATE_INTERNAL                  = wrK_idate
 EXCEPTIONS
   DATE_EXTERNAL_IS_INVALID       = 1
   OTHERS                         = 2
          .
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
 
 
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'
  EXPORTING
    DATE_INTERNAL                  = SY-DATUM "eg:04.07.2008
  IMPORTING
    DATE_EXTERNAL                  = wrk_edate
  EXCEPTIONS
    DATE_INTERNAL_IS_INVALID       = 1
    OTHERS                         = 2
           .
 IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
 ENDIF.

you can change that in your user interface check with basis persons.

otherwise you have to use FM for convert date format.

if not use separate format for uploading template.
