write sy-datum to v_datum DD/MM/YY.

hi monahar,

DATE_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY :

Check to see if a date is in a valid format for SAP. Works well when validating dates being passed in from other systems

you may use a FM for this :

refer to the link for FM's:

With luck,

pritam.

hi,

do this way ....


data : v_date(10),
         v_output(8).

v_date = sy-datum.

concatenate v_date+6(2) v_date+4(2) v_date+2(2) into v_output separated by '/'.

write : v_output.

I am not sure if you are working SAP scripts or Reports or anything else..

Try using SET DATE MASK = 'DD/MM/YY'.

Let me know if this helps or you need further help.

Thanks-
