Hi,

In your program yes you can do that but it is not recommended to change the value of SYST fields.

hi,

You can move sy-datum value to a variable and then decrement it.

No, you can not change system field value. Instead get SY_DATUM into a DATE variable and perform your operation.

HI Keerthi,

Move sy-datum value to variable type date and then decrement it by 1.

data : d_date type date.

d_date = sy-datum.

d_date = d_date - 1.

The sy_datum can be decremented usign the following piece of code.

DATA date TYPE d.

[

date = sy_datum - 1.

]

[

sy-datum = sy-datum - 1.

MOVE sy-datum TO date.

]

WRITE ' The modified date is : ' , date.

Both the way will take you to the final desired result.
