Hi,

If ur date is stored in some variable , say x.

Then print x(2).

It displays ur date.

Cheers,

Hi Shyalaja,

Remember one thing, internally SAP always stores the date in YYYYMMDD format, irrespective of how it gets displayed on UI.

When you debug, you will see this.

Hence if date field is V_DATE then

Year: V_DATE(4)

Month: V_DATE+4(2)

Date: V_DATE+6(2)

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Aditya
