Date format

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am facing date format Issue..for the below statement.

DATA: lv_po_date_sold type dats8,

           LV_DATE_STR type sy-datum,

           lv-cust_po_date type char12.

lv_date_str = lv_po_date_sold.

WRITE lv_date_str TO lv-cust_po_date.

After executing this my date format is coming as '09-13-2013'. But my system default settings is DD.MM.YYYY.

I am not sure from where it's taking default date format during write statement.

Could any one suggest me how I can fix this date format Issue..

I know to manipulate the date format using concatenation but I am looking to solve using above statement ...Because when I execute the same report from CRM Web UI the statement works fine but when I ran the report from SE38 the formatting Issue is coming.

I appreciate your help on this.

Thanks,

Sara.

Hi Sara,

you can use USING EDIT MASK '__.__.____' in WRITE statement.

WRITE lv_date_str TO lv-cust_po_date.
