Hi

Go for debugging and in the fields check the date field and u can find the

format in which it is dispalying

if u are moving fields to any itab check the final itab with the date field and find the format

the date format depends on the user settings...

check your login settings... and keep the date format which you want...

Hi,

Use FM CY_CONVERT_DATE to convert the date into current user format.

CALL FUNCTION 'CY_CONVERT_DATE'

EXPORTING

date_string_imp = lv_lfdate

IMPORTING

date_string_exp = lv_fdate1

date_exp = lv_fdate2.

Hi,

Normally it will be in the Format YYYYMMDD. If u want to know go the table,click on the data element attached to that field.and then click on the domain attached to that.There u can see the format for that field.
