You can achieve this by using the FM:

HRGPBS_TPS_DATE_FORMAT

Short Text

Format a date valid for TPS: DDMMYY

Functionality

This module returns a given date in string format "dd/mm/yyyy" with dd =

day, mm = month and yyyy = year.

An empty date is returned as space.

This is the required format for HESA reporting.

Example

"19991224" is returned as "24/12/1999".

"00000000" is returned as " " (ten spaces).

Parameters

P_DATE

DATESTRING

Exceptions

Hope this helps

Regards

Vinayak

Write like this :

data : v_date(8) ,

v_date1 like sy-datum.

v_date1 = sy-datum.

write v_date1 to v_date using edit mask '__.__.__'.

write 😕 v_date.

Hi,

assume date as your system date.

DATA formatdate (10)+

CONCATENATE p_date+6(2)

p_date+4(2)

p_date(4)

INTO c_date SEPARATED BY '.'.
