Hi,

Use below FMs

CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL Conversion: Internal to external date (like screen conversion)

Hi Sai,

Do what pavan said. It will work. To add to that after changing the default setting you need to logoff and login again for the changes to take effect.

hi ..

declare one variable with Char formate with proper length. and then after that just do the concatenate

operation of the date into your desired formate:

here iam given u some code just see the concatnation operation and try it once..

DATA: lv_date type sy-datum, " this will be in this formatee yyyymmdd

gv_date(10) type c.

concatenate lv_date+6(2) '/' " dd you will get

lv_date+4(2) '/' " mm you will get

lv_date+0(4) " year you will get here

into gv_sdate. " gv_date will be of "dd/mm/yyyy".

just try it.. it will set to u r requirment..all the best.

You have to maintain the settings for that particular user in SU01 only. It will reflect only for that user

declare your select optons as s_date as char10.

Here you accept date as dd/mm/yyyy

Then before using the date for futhur operations

loop at s_matnr.

Use FM CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL

Pass s_date-high to get the date in s_date-high.

Do the same for s_matnr-low.

modify s_date.

endloop.

Continue processing as normal then
