You can spcify the format you want in the EDIT_MASK of the field catalog for that field.

Hi,

As an alternative you may use following code -

TYPES: BEGIN OF type_t_date,

mm(2) TYPE c,

filler1(1) TYPE c,

dd(2) TYPE c,

filler2(1) TYPE c,

yyyy(4) TYPE c,

END OF type_t_date.

DATA: t_ddate TYPE type_t_date.

CONSTANTS: c_fil TYPE c VALUE '.'.

t_ddate-mm = rs_sdate-mm.

t_ddate-dd = rs_sdate-dd.

t_ddate-yyyy = rs_sdate-yyyy.

t_ddate-filler1 = c_fil.

t_ddate-filler2 = c_fil.

CONCATENATE t_ddate-mm t_ddate-filler1 t_ddate-dd t_ddate-filler2 t_ddate-yyyy INTO rv_ddate.

To convert from YYYYMMDD to DD.MM.YYYY use the

FM<b> CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_OUTPUT</b>

write var 1 to var2 DD/MM/YYYY ,where var2 is of type c of length 10.

Perform the above and then pass the variable(Var2) instead of Var1 to the internal table which you pass to the FM or method for displaying the ALV list.

use offsets to do this

supposet the variable is w_var

then

w_var + 12/31/9999

concatenate w_var3(2) '.' w_var(2) '.' w_var6(4) into w_var1.

Your var1 will have 31.12.9999

Pass var1 to your ALV list.

I think this is what you need.

Reward if you find it helpful.
