Hi Anu

Use the following function module to convert into the required format:

CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_INPUT

hi AnuvRaadha,

check the below code.... may be helpful for you

FORM check_date USING p_l_date

p_l_valid.

DATA:l_error,

date(8).

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERN_FORMAT'

EXPORTING

datum = p_l_date

dtype = 'DATS'

IMPORTING

idate = date

error = l_error.

IF l_error = c_x.

p_l_valid = c_x.

ELSE.

p_l_date = date.

ENDIF.

*-In case the date is of the format '00000000'

IF p_l_date EQ c_date1.

CLEAR p_l_valid.

ENDIF.

ENDFORM. " CHECK_DATE

or check below....

The following statement will do your requirement without using function module.

L_ENDDATE = '12/17/2006'.

CONCATENATE L_ENDDATE6(4) L_ENDDATE0(2) L_ENDDATE+3(2) INTO gw_flatfile-zzenddate.

Now gw_flatfile-zzenddate will have 20061217.

or check below link for date conversion function module Anuraadha

refer this code , i don think u can convert MM/DD/YYYY to YYYYMMDD via Fm -

parameters p_date(10).

data d_date(8).

d_date0(4) = p_date6(4).

d_date4(2) = p_date0(2).

d_date6(2) = p_date3(2).

write: d_date.

try this code .

data : idate(10) type c value '12/31/2006',

outdate type d,

outchar(8).

CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_STRING_CONVERT'

EXPORTING

DATE_FORMAT = '2'

DATE_STRING = idate

• START_DATE = SY-DATUM

IMPORTING

RESULT_DATE = outdate

.

outchar = outdate.

write : / outchar.

here date_format = '2' is for your MM/DD/YYYY.

just check in table USR01-DATFM whether it is 2 for your case or not .

for me it is working fine with the above code.
