Need Function Module

Former Member — Wed, 06 Jul 2005 16:37:50 GMT

Hi Folks,

Is there any Function module that will covert the external date to internal date Format. To be specific that will determine the external display according to the date format set in the user master. Many thanks for your help.

Regards,

Tim
