Dears,

I am facing some issues while generating some outputs in SAP Script which related to F.62 transaction. Though I have completed the requirement but after generating the output the date format are coming different for different documents.

These all documents belongs to the country USA. and the for this fomat is maintained in the system is DD/MM/YYYY.

But after generating the output in SAP Script, it comes with diffrenet format like DD.MM.YYYY for some documents.

For e.g,

SY-DATUM               01/24/2013 with one doucment

BLDAT                      12/22/2012

SY-DATUM               24.01.2013 with another document

BLDAT                     01.10.2012

Kindly advise me with proper solutions.
