Hi Pradeep,

If you want to add 5 working days to current date then you need to convert the date to factory date first passing country id and the date

DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE

then add 5 to the returned number and convert the value to date type using

FACTORYDATE_CONVERT_TO_DATE

Award points if this is helpful.

Hi Pradeep...

Find some of the useful date operations here.

Data : v_date1 like sy-datum.

Data : v_date2 like sy-datum.

Data : v_diff type i.

**Assigning date variables

v_date1 = sy-datum.

v_date2 = sy-datum.

**Extract the individual parts of date

v_date1+6(2) = '01' . "set the Day as the First day of the month

write:/ v_date1.

**Adding no of days.

v_date2 = v_date2 + 5.

write: v_date2.

**Subtracting two date fields

v_diff = v_date2 - v_date1.

write:/ v_diff.

Additionally you can find various FMs to process dates.

Some of them can be found in Function group SCAL.
