check for transaction code SU3 and in DEFAULT tab

or if you are looking for change thru programatically then


write : sy-datum MM/DD/YYYY to v_date.

Rohit,

there are number of ways to do this...........

u can try using the fm

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'

EXPORTING

DATE_INTERNAL = SY-DATUM

IMPORTING

DATE_EXTERNAL = l_date.

this function module converts date from 20080324 to external format which is specified in user profile
