Hi,

data v_date(11) type c.

Concatenate sy-datum and '*' into v_date with no space.

Thanks.

If this helps u reward with points.

if it is a char variable then you can concatenate the * to the date.

date(11) chars.

concatenate date '*' into date.

Hi Nanda,

Declare a variable with type of char and length of 11.

concatenate the date and '*' into that variable which solves ur problem.

Hi nandha,

1. If u want to STORE in internal table variable,

then the variable of type sy-datum,

won't be of any help.

2. For this u need

Var1(11) type c.

10 - for date (10.12.2005)

1 - for *

3. NEXT IMPORTANT THING :

to put data in the field.

use

WRITE sy-datum to VAR1.

Do not use VAR1 = sy-datum.

Because WRITE will write in format of 10.12.2005

where as simply assignin will do 20051210.

4. After wards u just write logic

for concatenating * to the field.

U can also use :

VAR+10(1) = '*'.

Hope it helps.

amit m.

Hi nandha,

I think there is no single statement to do this.

You can fetch the data from the table into internal table. Then you can loop through it and manually you can append * at the end of each date field.

To do this you will have to define the date field type as character.
