Hi

Try using,

<b>CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL</b>

It Converts date from system storage format to users specified display format .

or

Try this,

<b>WRITE wa_olddate TO wa_newdate MM/DD/YYYY</b>.

hope this helps!

HI,

Date = YYYYMMDD

Concatenate date4(2) ‘ /’ date6(2) ‘/’ date(4) into Date2.

or

data : l_date(10) type c .

concatenate sy-datum6(2) '/' sy-datum4(2) '/' sy-datum(4) into l_date.

write : l_date.

or

data :l_date(10) type c

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'

EXPORTING

DATE_INTERNAL = SY-DATUM

IMPORTING

DATE_EXTERNAL = l_date.

this function module converts date from 20050601 to external format which is specified in user profile.

Regards,

Laxmi.

hi,

Use the following piece of code.

DATA: L_DATE(10).

WRITE sy-datum to l_Date mm/dd/yyyy.

hi

good

no function module can help you to change the date conversiton,

you have to store your complete date in a variable and split the three part and store in different variable.Take another variable and store only '/'.

use CONCATENAE statement to contatenate all the characters and display them using another character variable.

thanks
