You can use any data element which have domain of CHAR 8 and further you can validate with

Sy-datum using offsets.

Hi:

There are so many data element to display MMYYYY like PDUV37 etc but it display it in MMMYYYY format, you have to call a function module to convert it.

hi,

use this function module....

call function 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'

exporting

date_internal = sy-datum

importing

date_external = v_date " variable

exceptions

date_internal_is_invalid = 1

others = 2.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

endif.

Hi,

It might not 002.2009 for this month.

It may be Feb.2009, Mar.2009, Apr.2009 ..etc.,

We can do this with function modules by converting the month into 3 letter format.
