Hi,

Use Function module 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'.

Make sure to pass the export and import parameters accordingly.

Use sy-datum for Exporting ---> date_internal.

Use ur date variable for Importing ---> date_external

Hope this helps.

YYYY/MM/DD format. how to convert this into DD/MM/YYYY

Hi

for this take another variable of type DATE

w_date - YYYY/MM/DD

w_new_date - DD/MM/YYYY

w_new_date0(2) = w_date8(2).

w_new_date3(2) = w_date5(2).

w_new_date6(4) = w_date0(4).

like this you can get that format.

Hi,

you can try out this fution module also...Let c_form be the required format for date...

data : g_in_f type nlei-ibgdt,

g_out_f type m1datum-datex,

c_form type m1datum-format value 'DD/MM/YYYY'.

G_IN_F = DATE in old format.

call function 'FORMAT_DATE_4_OUTPUT

exporting

datin = g_in_f

format = c_form

importing

datex = g_out_f.

hence the date in new format is obtained in G_OUT_F.

Thanks & regards,

Hi,

Try this function module DATE_STRING_CONVERT.

Pass parameters DATE_FORMAT = 4, DATE_STRING = '2008.09.23'

Then the RESULT_DATE would be 23.09.2008.

If you want to provide DATE_STRING as '2008/09/23' then DATE_FORMAT should be 5

If you want to provide DATE_STRING as '2008-09-23' then DATE_FORMAT should be 6
