Hi,

chk this.

DATA: V_DATE_IN(10) TYPE C,

V_DATE_SAP TYPE SY-DATUM.

V_DATE_IN = '01.01.2005.'.

CONCATENATE V_DATE_IN+6(4) "<--for Year

V_DATE_IN+3(2) "<--for month

V_DATE_IN+0(2) "<--for Day

INTO V_DATE_SAP.

now V_DATE_SAP will have value like 20060101.

Hi,

If it is related to table entries in that format then

go to SU3 and change user setting ...

change date setting.

various options are there.

Hi janki,

1. The date format inside the field is always YYYYMMDD.

2. The default format (for display purpose)

is based upon user settings.

3. If we want in some other format,

then we need to write extra code for it

4. using OFFSET

5. eg. mm.dd.yyyy

CONCATENATE MYDATE4(2) '.' MYDATE6(2) '.' MYDATE(4)

INTO DTS.
