Hi,

Try this..

DATA: V_DATE TYPE SYDATUM.
DATA: V_OUTPUT(10).

V_DATE = SY-DATUM.

WRITE V_DATE TO V_OUTPUT DD/MM/YYYY.

WRITE: / V_OUTPUT.

Thanks

Hi Shyam,

The input by the user depends upon the settings in the User profile :

SAP Screen --> Menu --> System --> User Profile --> Own Data --> Defaults -->

Date Format .

The user can use any of the format.

Ask the user to set the Date format as ddmmyyyy.

If not you can do a validation and if the user enters a date in the format other than u desired then u can show a message.

Thanks,

Hi,

Use FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT and pass the date field to it.

it will convert the date into required

or use CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_OUTPUT
