Hi,

if you want to display into your screen, just write the variable type d.

write w_date (that will show you as your country standard)

if you want to set into a char type

concatenate date6(2) date4(2) date+0(4) into w_char separated by '.'.

Remember that SAP store date into a type and display sometime into another one. SAP used field-exit to perform this.

hi

Use write statement.

use f1 or goto pattarn -> WRITE -> FIELD(specify name)->

Multiple selection(yellow arrow button button)-> for date fields (Chck box and radio button)

WRITE - Formatting options

... DD/MM/YY

... MM/DD/YY

... DD/MM/YYYY

... MM/DD/YYYY

... DDMMYY

... MMDDYY

... YYMMDD

U can use into another variable.

and then use that particular variable.

Hi,

Try the FM: Try FM 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/07/d63a68db9110459d63c495b16f522e/content.htm

DATA: lv_date(10) type c,
      fi_date(10) type c.

lv_date = '2006.03.02'.

CONCATENATE lv_date+8(2) '.' lv_date+5(2) '.' lv_date+0(4) into fi_date.

write: fi_date.

OP: 02.03.2006

1.U CAN USE 'USING EDIT MASK' statement with write

write d using edit mask dd.mm.yyyy

2. or u can declare a char variable of 10

use concatenate statement

data: date(10).

concatenate d(2) '.' d2(2) '.' d4(4) into date

OK, thanks a lot!

[Former Member]

OK, now I have another problem.

I used "write" and it changed format to dd.mm.yyyy, but it inserts delimeter(.), so how can i delete the (.)?

[Former Member]

Hi again,

1. simple.

2.

data: m(10) type c.

m = '22.05.2006'.

<b>replace all occurrences of '.' in m with ''.</b>

write m.

regards,

amit m.

[hymavathi_oruganti]

THEN WHILE WRITING WRITE STATEMEENT ITSELF, INSTEAD OF '.'

GIVE A SPACE

WRITE DATE USING EDIT MASK 'DD MM YYYY'
