DATE_CONV_EXT_TO_INT - user formatted date is converted to system date

data: date_intern type d,

date_extern(10).

date_extern = ‘28.03.2000’.

CALL ‘DATE_CONV_EXT_TO_INT’ ID ‘DATINT’ FIELD date_intern ” Intern Date ID ‘DATEXT’ FIELD date_extern. ” Extern Date

Now the field date_intern will have the value ‘20000328’.

Check the sy-subrc for possible wrong input.
