Use the FM for Conversion :CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_OUTPUT

If the variavle is of type <b>d</b> the system will automatically convert this format to the settings in your user parameter. If the alv does not do it, i guess tis is not of type d.

First check your user setting Transaction SU3, defualts.

Then check the type of the variable. If you can, change that to D.

If type change is not possible, then you have to convert the date yourself, eg with string operations or with

write x to y dd/mm/yyyy.

Do not rewards points, i dont need those

Hi,

Try using the Function Module 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'

hi

Before passing your date field to the ALV display..

change the format of the alv date using

WRITE date to new_date USING EDIT MAST '__.__.____' .

Modify the table and pass to Alv output .

Or for the date field include the Conversion exit in the fieldcatalog .

It will take care .

Hope it helps .
