Date Format

[abdulazeez12]

Hii All

I am writing a BDC which involves two date fields. I want to populate the date fields depending upon the user's date format irrespective of what format is given in the data file. How to convert a date to the user's default systm format??

Hi..

Call the FM CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL

You can also check the FMs:

CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_OUTPUT

CONVERSION_EXIT_LDATE_OUTPUT

Hi,

You can use CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL.

Try the following:

  data:
    l_char10(10)        type c.

  write: sy-datum to l_char10."will apply user's edit mask
  write: / l_char10.  

This should pick up the user's current settings (when they logged in) and apply it to the date.

use WRITE TO .................... USING EDIT MASK '__/__/____'.
