Hi,

Please refer below code:

     " system conversion - date format in user master record.
            CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'
              EXPORTING
                date_external            = p_val
              IMPORTING
                date_internal            = p_field
              EXCEPTIONS
                date_external_is_invalid = 1
                OTHERS                   = 2.
            IF sy-subrc <> 0.
              MOVE sy-subrc TO p_rc.
              EXIT.
            ENDIF.

Hi,

DATA : DATE LIKE SY-DATUM.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'
       EXPORTING
            DATE_EXTERNAL            = '31.03.1999'
       IMPORTING
            DATE_INTERNAL            = DATE
       EXCEPTIONS
            DATE_EXTERNAL_IS_INVALID = 1
            OTHERS                   = 2.

OUTPUT WILL BE

DATE = '19990331'.

Hi,

data : date1 like sy-datum value '20080101',

date2(10).

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'

EXPORTING

date_external = date1

IMPORTING

date_internal = date2

EXCEPTIONS

date_external_is_invalid = 1

OTHERS = 2.

date2 will be 01.01.2008.

Balaji V thank u but what happens

if the user has set his date format

to MM/DD/YYYY instead of 'DD.MM.YYYY'

like your example in your posting ???

DATA : DATE LIKE SY-DATUM.
 
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'
       EXPORTING
            DATE_EXTERNAL            = '03/31/1999'
       IMPORTING
            DATE_INTERNAL            = DATE
       EXCEPTIONS
            DATE_EXTERNAL_IS_INVALID = 1
            OTHERS                   = 2

I tested the function in SE37 with your 12/31/1999 as input and the result was 19991231
