i declare "keydate LIKE bgmkobj-gwlen"

and i get 01.01.2000

like 00.20.0101

any idea?

Huh? Can you please explain the problem a little clearer. This is working ok for me.

report zrich_0001.

data:
    keydate LIKE bgmkobj-gwlen.



    keydate = sy-datum.


    write:/ keydate.

Hi,

GWLEN is format char8 and on system side like this

"20000101"...

Use FM CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL / EXTERNAL to change formats.

hope this helps otherwise keep asking!

Hi Yehiel,

May be date is in different format.

use write statement like

write date to keydate.

Use function modules 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'

and move to keydate.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks&Regards,

I have checked your code

data : keydate LIKE bgmkobj-gwlen.

keydate = '20000101'.

write keydate.

I getting 01.01.2000 which is correct.. check how you assigned to keydate.

Hi!

How do you fill keydate? With move, via dynpro...

Yes,you always need to move data in the a date field using the YYYYMMDD format. Otherwise you will have the problem that you did.
