See the below example program :

India Date format :

data : v_date(10) type c,

v_day(2) type c,

v_month(2) type c,

v_year(4) type c.

data : date(8) type c.

start-of-selection.

date = sy-datum.

v_year = date+0(4).

v_month = date+4(2).

v_day = date+6(2).

concatenate v_day '/' v_month '/' v_year into v_date.

write:/ v_date.

USA date Format :

data : v_date(10) type c,

v_day(2) type c,

v_month(2) type c,

v_year(4) type c.

data : date(8) type c.

start-of-selection.

date = sy-datum.

v_year = date+0(4).

v_month = date+4(2).

v_day = date+6(2).

concatenate v_month '/' v_day '/' v_year into v_date.

write:/ v_date.

if you need only output then use like this

WRITE: / sy-datum DD/MM/YYYY.

Reward Points if it is helpful

Hello Prakash

Have a look in the keyword documentation for the <b>WRITE </b>statement. To output dates in a specific format you can use the following option:

WRITE: / p0000-begda DD/MM/YYYY.  " or YYYY/MM/DD

Hi Prakash,

Just go to 'Formatting Options' of the WRITE statement in the ABAP documentation, and you could find a variety of ways in which dates can be formatted. These are :

1.DD/MM/YY

2.MM/DD/YY

3.DD/MM/YYYY

4MM/DD/YYYY

5.DDMMYY

6.MMDDYY

7.YYMMDD

You just need to use it the way Uwe has mentioned.

Hope this helps.

Hi Prakash,

Use the syntax :

WRITE p0000-begda DD/MM/YYYY.
