Date Conversion in User Profile format

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want date as report ouput in the format set in User Profile (su01)

for example: date is cming in YYYYMMDD format from the table and in my userprofile it is set as DD.MM.YYYY, it shud give o./p in DD.MM.YYYY format.

I have tried with FUnction Module CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL.

But its not working and giving o/p in MM/DD/YYYY format eventhough i have set date format as DD.MM.YYYY in my profile.

Kindly suggest any other way.

Thanks In Advance.

Dear Sapna,

The simple way to convert the date in user format is to use WRITE statement. Find the below e.g.,

DATA:

lv_date TYPE sydatum,

lv_char TYPE char10.

lv_date = '20071121'.

WRITE lv_date TO lv_char.

WRITE lv_char.
