1) CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL

You can use CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL for date, it will format based on your user specific format in the user master, and time is pretty standard, so you could simply use the WRITE statement to do this.

data: time(10) type c.

write sy-uzeit to time.
write:/ time.

Rich Heilman

Hi,

For data you can use FM CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_OUTPUT

For time you can use FM PT46C_CHECK_DATE_TIME.

Thanks,

Sriram POnna.
