Use the Function module

CONVERSION_EXIT_INVDT_OUTPUT

CONVERSION_EXIT_INVDT_INPUT

For more details, check the conversion routines maintained at GDATU data domine.

Thanks,

Hi,

Please try the following piece of code. This is an usage of Ninth's Complement which SAP uses to invert dates. Dates are inverted to aid in sorting.

The following code converts inverted date into a normal date.

DATA: inv_date TYPE D value '79919781' .

DATA: date TYPE D.

CONVERT INVERTED-DATE inv_date INTO DATE date .

WRITE: DATE. "18.02.2008
