You can use split into three variable(s) at '.'.

and concatenate the month and date with '-'.

Hi,

Then you can split and concatnate the string. Sample code :

SPLIT date_old AT '.' INTO strn1 strn2 strn3.
CONCATENATE strn2 strn1 INTO date_new.

Here date_old has 07.October.2005 and date_new will have October07. Here strn1,strn2,strn3 are also strings.

Hope this solves your problem.

Ravikiran.

DATA: char1(2) type c,

char2(10) type c,

char3(4) type c.

SPLIT '07.October.2005(Output from the funtion module)' at '.' into char1 char2 char3.

concatenate char2 char1 into char2 separated by '-'.

write: /char2(Desired field).
