IN program as following :

DATA: ODATE TYPE D VALUE '19955011',

IDATE LIKE ODATE.

DATA FIELD(8).

FIELD = ODATE. WRITE / FIELD.

CONVERT DATE ODATE INTO INVERTED-DATE IDATE.

FIELD = IDATE. WRITE / FIELD.

CONVERT INVERTED-DATE IDATE INTO DATE ODATE.

FIELD = ODATE. WRITE / FIELD.

输出如下：

19955011

80049488

19955011

Hi,

Inverted Dates

'19955011' (type D) 's INVERTED-DATE TYPE value is

' 80049488' as abap uses nine's complement for the calculation

In some cases (for example, when sorting dates in descending order), it is useful to convert a date from format D to an inverted date by using the keyword CONVERT.

CONVERT DATE <d1> INTO INVERTED-DATE <d2>.

Afterwards, you can convert the inverted data back into a normal date using the statement

CONVERT INVERTED-DATE <d1> INTO DATE <d2>.

These statements convert the field <d1> from the formats DATE or INVERTED-DATE to the formats INVERTED-DATE or DATE and assign it to the field <d2>.

For the conversion, ABAP forms the nine's complement.

Hi Sophie,

Inverted date is nothing but each digit -9

So you can get as why it is shown like that.

This is no longer is used now.
